Travel guide to Feilaixia in Qingyuan, Guangdong Province
Not long ago, we went to Feilaixia, a famous scenic spot in Qingyuan.
Depart from Xinhua in the morning, take the bus to Guangqing Expressway and head for Qingyuan. About an hour and a half later, we entered Feilaixia Scenic Area. The driver led us into the mountain, and the bus circled up and down. The driver and we were all sweating. When we got off the bus, we saw the Beijiang River with a wide surface and surging undercurrent, and this nine-kilometer-long Beijiang River is the famous Feilaixia.
A view of Feilaixia
There are many scenic spots in Feilaixia, such as Feixia Ancient Cave, Cangxia Ancient Cave, Jinxia Temple and Feilai Temple. Many stone carvings are favored by calligraphy lovers. According to the advice of experienced friends, we crossed the other side by ferry, and then took a minibus to Feixiagu Cave in the scenic spot. After getting off the bus, cross a Dunji Bridge and stand in front of Feixiagu Cave. Feixia Ancient Cave was built at the expense of Mr. Mai in Qing Dynasty. It is a monastic place with Taoism as the mainstay and integrating Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. With a building area of more than 24,000 square meters, it is layered on the top of the mountain and hillside, and the stairs rest on the roof, which is both a cave tour and a mountain climbing. Because of its unique architectural format, some people call it Potala Palace in Guangdong. The complex includes Li Geng Bookstore, Taoyuan Quiet Room, Yangxin Building, Leshan Mountain House and many other scenic spots. It may be a quadrangle or a humble room, but there are couplets everywhere, such as "flying to the extreme, far apart." "Courtesy is reciprocal, Brother Tao Rong, cultivate one's morality and respect the ancients." "I am proud of my work, and I know it very well." All these reflect the ancient people's thought of "cultivating and studying" to honor their parents and respect their ancestors, as well as their spiritual realm of kindness and purity. There is a place in the cave called the former residence of Maitian Chang. It is unknown whether the pots and pans in it have been used by Mr. Mai Lao, but Mr. Mai Lao's resume is amazing. He not only built Feixia Cave, but also donated money to build temples and Taoist temples in Southeast Asia such as Malaysia. I suddenly understood the ancient people's attachment to home and worship of faith. Those China people who drifted overseas used their sincere faith in national culture to unite themselves and educate their future generations. This is the national sentiment that blood is thicker than water!
Climbing up again is a long stone step, steep and tortuous. After climbing a few steps, I was already sweating and panting. For those of us who want to enjoy life after a little improvement, but don't want to walk a few more steps, climbing such a long mountain road is really a challenge. Some people sit on the stone steps to have a rest, while others stop to admire the wild flowers in the valley and the stone carvings by the roadside. I have been employed by my job for several years, but I dare not be lazy. However, my desire to climb the mountain has always been in my heart. Now, when I set foot on this mountain road, my mood is as excited as seeing an old friend, so I didn't even look at the passing Phoenix Tower. Climbing a mountain is a challenge to the limits of human beings, and it is also a patient training for people. The mountain road is difficult and tortuous, some people flinch, some people are full of ambition to conquer and then fast, haste makes waste. They often struggle to rush to a section of the road and sit on the side of the road to rest, only to see the latecomers coming from above. Even if you walk normally, you will find it difficult to walk with backache and leg pain for a long time. At this time, you have to rely on strong will to dominate yourself. It's like a master sitting in a cicada, who can't even bear loneliness and pain. How can he become a respected master? We came to a hillside platform, where there was a meditation room and a sky tower, and there was a beautiful sunrise in the sky. However, we didn't have a chance to enjoy it until morning. Looking back on the road, those pavilions have disappeared in the lush jungle bamboo, empty mountains and quiet people, birds singing. The sound of family members' pious chanting in the meditation room made people feel calm and comfortable. The excitement and joy of climbing the mountain gradually faded, and the worship of nature and the sigh of all creatures gradually rose.
The personnel in the scenic spot management area have put up a sign that tourists stop here, and there are no stairs to climb up, which is also a lonely place. However, my interest in climbing the mountain was still unfinished, and several colleagues echoed my wishes, so we moved on. At this time, there was no mountain road to climb, dead trees fell at their feet, vines pulled out long stems and clung to those shrubs and trunks, twisting and striving for the upper reaches, and thick fallen leaves piled up at their feet, wondering if there were any stones and roots. We broke the dead branches into sticks, used the sticks as knives and cut through thorns, so we had to pull out vines and trunks in steep places. So snail-like, when I came to the top of the mountain, my clothes were soaked with sweat, and the people with me were sweating and disheveled. We stood quietly at the top of the mountain and let the breeze caress our faces. Looking around, we can only see rolling mountains and endless gray. "Once you climb to the top of the mountain, you will find that other mountains are short under the sky." ; Yun Qi in the valley, white clouds and pale dogs; The Beijiang River in the distance hovers among the mountains like a white jade belt.
After going down the mountain, we had lunch in the boat restaurant on the shore. The service in the scenic spot is also very distinctive. Fish soup, steamed, braised, sweet and sour, almost all are fish. In the afternoon, we decided to charter a boat to visit Feilai Temple a few kilometers downstream. The boat is as light as a swallow and the water is as clear as jade. Stones like snow stand on the banks of rivers and beaches. So far, I haven't seen the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River. Can Feilaixia, known as the Little Three Gorges, get what it wants? The river wind blows the face, and the green hills on both sides retreat with the wind. Melodious bells rang in the distance, remembering that "the apes on both sides of the strait can't stop crying, and the canoe has passed Chung Shan Man" and "Hanshan Temple outside Gusu City, and the bell rang to the passenger ship at midnight." To this poem. I was surprised that I was walking in a wonderful picture.
At the foot of Feilai Temple, we berthed. However, in front of us are broken walls and columns, wolves in flocks, and there are no buildings like Daxiong Hall, Bell and Drum Tower, and Tibetan Classics Pavilion. That was on May 8th, 1997. A once-in-a-thousand-year rainstorm raided Feilaixia area, and a huge mudslide washed down the valley. Feilai Temple in Linjiang Hougu, together with 1 1 monks and nuns and thousands of cultural relics, was washed into the turbulent Beijiang River. This is a disaster for the Buddhist community in China and a great loss for ancient culture. Nowadays, there is only a big clock hanging under the huge wooden frame. People can only trace the historical footprint from the melodious bell and listen to the beautiful legend of Feilai Temple. It is gratifying that the reconstruction of Feilai Temple has been supported and sponsored by all walks of life, and the planned Feilai Temple will be more magnificent.
It's getting late, we go back by boat against the current, and the boat crawls hard, just like our reluctant mood; The bell is fading away, please leave our sincere blessing: the future of Feilaixia will be better.
