Eight Scenes of Xining

Shixia has a refreshing breeze, which is why it became one of the eight scenic spots. , what people chant is not only the natural wind blowing from the canyon, or the beautiful natural scenery along the way, people also borrow objects to chant their aspirations, hoping and praying for the officials passing by this beautiful canyon to have a refreshing breeze on their sleeves.

The Huangliu River rises in spring, and the Huangshui River it refers to gave birth to the Huangshui civilization. It can be said to be the mother river of the people on both sides of the Huangshui River. As one of the tributaries of the upper reaches of the Yellow River Basin, it is also an integral part of the Yellow River civilization. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop scenic spots where the Huangshui River rises in spring. Although the water of the Huangshui River is now polluted and the water flow is reduced, initial results have been achieved through the renovation in the past two years. In the modern era when the ecological environment is increasingly concerned, the Huangshui River will take on a new look.

As the current important scenic spots in Xining City, the development and construction of the North and South Mountains are relatively mature, and the construction of the Nanshan Park is believed to create a brand new scenery.

Niangniang Mountain and Laoye Mountain in Datong Hui and Tu Autonomous County are adjacent to each other. These two scenic spots are on the same line as Wufeng Mountain in Huzhu Tu Autonomous County. Therefore, when developing these scenic spots, you can consider connecting them. This line will also be a good one-day tour in Qinghai.

At present, Laoye Mountain’s infrastructure is relatively complete. However, Niangniang Mountain and Wufeng Mountain, which have not yet been developed, have beautiful natural scenery and profound historical heritage, so their development is promising. At the foot of Niangniang Mountain is Chaijiabao, Qingshui Township. In summer, jungles and wheat fields depend on each other, the grassland is lush, wild flowers are everywhere, and the scenery is pleasant. There is also the gravesite of Chai Guozhu, a general of the Ming Dynasty, which can be verified by physical objects. At that time, the Chai family, a family with three generals, built a school in Datong. When Chai Guozhu was the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan, he defended Shanhaiguan, an important town, against the invasion of Jin soldiers. He was also a famous general in history. If, when developing Niangniang Mountain, these historical relics are connected with the myths and legends here, relevant guide words can be edited, and the moving stories under Niangniang Mountain can be deeply explored, the reputation of Niangniang Mountain will be greatly enhanced.

Wufeng Mountain has beautiful scenery, and the "Flower" Party on June 6th is held here every year, which is quite prosperous. After this attraction is developed, "flower" parties can be held irregularly with tourists in the summer to increase its popularity.

Some other scenic spots, such as Longchi Yeyue, etc., are not well known due to their weak cultural heritage and single scenery. However, people have added scenic spots such as Tiger Tower, and the newly added scenery has also been included in the scope of development and construction. The development of the new eight scenic spots in Xining can greatly enrich the content of one-day tours in Xining and even Qinghai.

Shixia Qingfeng

Going 15 kilometers east from Xining, you can reach a beautiful and refreshing summer resort, which is "Shixia Qingfeng", one of the eight ancient scenic spots in Xining.

Shixia, commonly known as Xiaoxia, is famous for its dangerous passes in history. In times of peace, it was an important thoroughfare connecting the east and west; in times of chaos, it was an important gate that separated the two places. Suiyuan Pass was built in the Song Dynasty to control key areas, and Wuding Pass and De'an Pass were built in the Qing Dynasty. The small gorge has also left a touching legend for people: in the past, this place was surrounded by mountains and blocked rivers. Immortals threw stones at the mountains, causing the hills to collapse and the Huangshui to pass through, forming a strange and majestic small gorge.

In today's Xiaoxia, a reinforced concrete arch bridge flies from the north to the south, the road is as flat as a stone, there is a constant flow of pedestrians and vehicles, and the dangerous pass is transformed into a smooth road. However, when tourists arrive on both sides of the Huangshui River at Xiaoxiakou, they still feel a cool breeze even in the hot summer. The scene of "rocks in chaos and horses' hooves scattered" has become a historical memory.

Jin Mo Xiaori

Located in Niangniang Mountain in Datong Hui and Tu Autonomous County, it is also known as Jin Mo Mountain. There is a Tianchi on the top of the mountain. Every summer when the rain is strong, the water in the Tianchi is rippling, and butterflies are flying around the pool in five colors. There are many mountains in Qinghai, and there is a commanding height on Niangniang Mountain. You can watch the sunrise on the mountain in the morning. The sun bursts out from the mountains. The scene is spectacular. It is said that it is comparable to watching the sunrise on Mount Tai. When tourists climb the mountain to watch the sunrise, the rising sun, mountain flowers and butterflies complement each other beautifully. Niangniang Mountain is famous for its deep beauty and various scenes.

Wenfeng Towering Green

When mentioning this scenic spot, you must mention a beautiful legend about Nanshan in Xining. It is said that when people once built an attic in Nanshan, a phoenix would fall here, and the locals regarded it as an auspicious sign.

Later, in order to hope that the local literary style would flourish, people built Kuixing Pavilion on the mountain. Today, this scenery is no longer familiar to Xining people.

Fengtai Liuyun

Nanshan Mountain in Xining is also called Fenghuang Mountain. There is a pavilion on the mountain called Fenghuang Pavilion. During the Southern Liang period, it was rumored that "dragons appear in Changning and unicorns swim in Sui and Qiang". From this, "Fengtai Liuyun", one of the eight ancient scenic spots in Xining, became a scenic spot in Xining. The building complex with Guandi Temple as the center in Nanshan was built in the eighth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty. It is the best-protected Ming Dynasty building in Xining. Today's scenic spots on the mountain are all newly built after liberation.

Due to the relatively high altitude of Nanshan, Fengtai is often shrouded in clouds and mist, creating its own scenery. Today, these scenery have been developed as part of Nanshan Park, and with the development of the North and South Mountain Parks, The development of these scenery will be taken to a higher level.

Longchi Night Moon

The so-called "Longchi" refers to a spring located southwest of Sujiahewan Village in the western suburbs of Xining. Since many temples were built here, historically, this was a place with strong incense. The temple here was first built in the Ming Dynasty and was repeatedly built and abandoned. It was called the "Five Dragon Palace" in the late Qing Dynasty and was once very prosperous.

Nowadays, we can no longer appreciate the so-called night moon scenery of Longchi. However, imagining that the spring water was clear, the night was clear, and the bright moon hung high, the scenery like a water town in the south of the Yangtze River suddenly came to mind.

Huangliu rises in spring

The so-called Huangshui refers to the important tributary of the Yellow River that flows through the north of Xining City - Huangshui River, also known as Xining River. Every spring and summer, the ice and snow in the upper reaches of the Huangshui River melt, and the water source is sufficient. It flows to the Xijiao River, Beichuan River, and Nanchuan River in Xining and flows into the Huangshui. Then the river water rises suddenly and the waves are rough, so it is called "the spring rise of the Huangshui River". One of the eight ancient scenic spots in Xining. Today, both sides of the Huangshui River are changing with each passing day due to urban construction. It's early spring, and I'm walking along the Huangshui River. The willows are like smoke, the roads are like grinding stones, there are many high-rise buildings, and the bright lights at night reflect the stars in the sky. The scenery is pleasant.

Wufeng Waterfall

The famous Wufeng Waterfall is located in Beigou Nao, Huzhu Tu Autonomous County. Because the peaks here resemble five fingers, it is called Wufeng Mountain. The environment here is elegant, there are many springs, and the trickles are flowing like waterfalls. It is still a tourist attraction in Qinghai.

There are three wonders in Wufeng Mountain, namely forests, springs and caves. People also attributed three forests, three caves and three springs. The three forests are pine forest, poplar forest and birch forest. In summer, the forest is lush and lush. In autumn, the pine green, poplar forest and birch leaves turn red, and the forest is dyed, and the scenery is infinite. The three caves are the East Cave, the West Cave and the North Cave. The east cave is 8 meters deep, 3 meters high and 3 meters wide, the west cave is 7 meters deep, 2 meters high and 3 meters wide, and the north cave is 10 meters deep, 3 meters high and 4 meters wide. The cave is covered with cold moss and has a unique charm. The three springs are Longgong Spring, Hidden Spring and Huakou Spring. Among the three springs, Longgong Spring has the best water quality. The spring water spouts from the mouth of the stone carving and cascades down the seven-level stone wall to form a waterfall. The water in the spring flows forever" and other poems.

Go up the stairs from Longgong Spring to Wufeng Temple. Wufeng Temple was built during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. Its main buildings include the Bodhisattva Hall, Dragon King Pavilion, Jade Palace, Xiang Gong Tower and Tongle Pavilion. Recently, new pavilions, pavilions and paintings have attracted more attention from tourists.

Wufeng Mountain is also a popular place for singing folk songs in Qinghai, commonly known as the "Hua'er" Festival. Every June 6th is the most beautiful season in Wufeng Mountain, and Wufeng Mountain's "Huaer" Festival on June 6th is also famous. . At that time, singers from all walks of life in the northwest will gather on Wufeng Mountain and sing loudly, shaking the whole country. They will sing from dawn to late at night. "Wufeng June Singing Fair, looking for friends in eight villages and fields". Such a large-scale mass art event adds to the scenic beauty of Wufeng. Brilliant.

Misty Rain in Beishan

Xining is surrounded by mountains, but the northern and southern mountains are loved by people for their strangeness and beauty. Beishan wins by surprise. Xining Beishan, also known as Tulou Mountain. The Tulou Mountain Shrine was once built on Tulou Mountain, and a temple was built on the site of the shrine, formerly known as Beichen Temple, also called Yongxing Temple. As early as the Northern Wei Dynasty, Li Daoyuan recorded in "Shui Jing Zhu": "The Huangshui River flows to the east and passes through the earth building to the south. The building is adjacent to the mountain to the north. The peak is 300 feet high. It has been cut into shape. There is a shrine downstairs with carved sculptures. "The old wall remains." It can be seen that Beishan has a history of more than 2,000 years.

There are many historical sites in Beishan, which is why Beishan is still famous as a major scenic spot in Xining. Today, there are Buddhist temples, Taoist temples, brick pagodas, caves, murals and open-air Buddhas.

After generations of expansion and renovation, caves were carved into the cliffs, with "nine caves and eighteen caves" distributed from west to east.

The climate on the plateau can change from rain to sunshine, and the best scenery when visiting Tulou Mountain is to visit it in the rain. Only in the mist and rain can you truly feel the vague and blurry artistic conception of Tulou Mountain, with its ink painting. Standing in the Doumu Hall, the eaves of the palace are dripping like beads, the buildings in the rain curtain seem to be covered with a layer of gauze, the roads are like a few thick strokes of ink, and the woods are like light ink renderings. Looking at Nanshan from a distance, it seems to be visible but not visible, the form is invisible but the spirit is there. Only the Ningshou Pagoda with Tang Dynasty architectural style on the top of Beishan Mountain stands in the mist and rain, like a weathered old monk, thinking about the vast world.
