Introduction to Shunan Bamboo Sea tourist attractions

1. Xianyu Cave

Xianyu Cave is located among the cliffs of Chaer Rock in the Xianyu Cave Scenic Area in the southern part of the Bamboo Sea in southern Sichuan. It is known for its excellent natural and cultural landscapes. It is the "Pearl of the Bamboo Sea". Xianyu Cave was originally a natural rock cavity, more than 300 meters long, 2 to 15 meters wide and high. There is a vast bamboo forest above the cave, and the Bamboo Sea Grand Canyon below the cave.

In addition, there are temples in Xianyu Cave. The Monk Hall is a place where the ashes of past abbots are stored after their death. There is a stone tower and 15 ashes niches. At the entrance of Nanshan Gate, there are four characters "Xian Yu Dong Tian" inscribed by Yin'an Taoist. There is half a couplet on the doorpost on the left: "Cultivation and happiness is Penglai", which is said to be from Yin'an Taoist.

2. Guanyun Pavilion

Guanyun Pavilion, also known as Jiaozi Stone. From the pavilion, you can see the shallow hills in southern Sichuan. The river is like a belt, with criss-crossing streets and bamboo trees everywhere. Farther away are the surrounding mountainous areas where the Sichuan Basin transitions to the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. Two rows of mountains extending from east to west are undulating, one of which is yellow mountains, and the other is covered with green vegetation. They are like "yellow dragons" and "green dragons", swimming side by side, guarding the Feng Shui treasure land of Bamboo Sea in southern Sichuan.

3. Longyin Temple

Longyin Temple, also known as Longwei Temple, is located on Jiulong Mountain at an altitude of 980 meters. The temple covers an area of ??450 square meters and is surrounded by undulating green waves. The sky is vast, the sky wind blows, and the sound of bamboo waves sounds like the roar of a dragon, so it is named Longyin Temple. Built during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty (1573-1620), it had a main hall, a lower hall and a side hall. During the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, monk Zhanghui practiced it.

It was demolished in 1959, but the cornerstone, steps and stone door frame are still left. There is a couplet on the frame: "Double trees are planted with green clouds, dragons roar and tigers roar, and the sky is connected to the sky on all sides." The Longyin Temple stone carvings were listed as the fourth batch of provincial cultural relics protection units by the Sichuan Provincial People's Government in 1996.

4. Qinglong Lake

Qinglong Lake Scenic Area covers an area of ??3.06 square kilometers and is dominated by large water surfaces and historical relics. Qinglong Lake, located at the foot of the towering and steep Flagship Mountain, has a water surface of 3 square kilometers and is the largest lake among the lush bamboo sea. You can go boating and rafting on the lake, and you can also enjoy tea and drinks in the pavilions beside the lake. On summer and autumn nights, the mountains are melancholy and beautiful, the gentle breeze blows gently, and the ripples are dancing. It is very interesting to enjoy the coolness and gossip by the lake.

5. Tianbaozhai

It is said that Tianbaozhai was built in 1862 during the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty. The local government built it to defend against Shi Dakai's Taiping Army from entering Sichuan. The terrain is difficult and easy to defend. The ancient village is 1,500 meters long, 20 meters high, and about 10 meters wide. The top of the cave is made of rocks, mostly half caves. It is built around the cave with strange twists and turns. There are 13 solid stone villages inside. The door is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The cave is surrounded by green bamboos, and there is a rare huge mushroom stone on the way, which is more than 10 meters high. The stones above are like umbrella covers, which are dangerous but not falling.
