Da Linchong's Travel Notes on "Shuilouping"

"Fairy stone bridge overlooking the rosy clouds.

Whose house is the bamboo hut?

There is nowhere to be found after the past.

Wildflowers come from lonely spring. "

? Ming: Zhou You's poem "Da Lin Chong"

? Shuilouping is located at the foot of Laoya Mountain in Dalinchong, more than 20 kilometers northeast of the city. A country road twists and turns along the stream and extends to the depths of the mountains.

According to legend, Lv Dongbin was a fairy who came to the world to test the good and evil. One day, Lu Xian became a poor beggar and limped to a mountain village in Dalin. It is sultry in midsummer, hungry and thirsty. He wants to ask the local villagers for water and food. People saw him in rags and shabby appearance. Like the plague, every family cannot leave. Lu Xian was very angry. He poked the Excalibur into the ground, causing all the mountain springs here to flood into the ground. Since then, the Shantangba here can no longer receive water, so people call it "leaky flat". Of course, this is just a legend.

? It's sunny in spring, and we go hiking with the Green Cool Club in "Shuilouping" in Dalinchong.

? When we reached the border of Shuikouping, we gave up our car and walked in this beautiful valley. A stream on the side of the road gurgles and is crystal clear. In the distance, green hills, green bamboo forests, lush trees and wild flowers are in full bloom on the mountain. A kind of "thorn seed" is full of branches, and the red fruit is delicate and charming. I can't help but pick a few and put them in my mouth, which is sour and sweet.

? Loquat tree, plum tree and peach tree all bear small fruits, all of which are lovely.

Teak trees produce clusters of white flowers, and with the breeze, the fragrant flowers are sent into our hearts.

Farmland and vegetable gardens are full of vitality, and old houses with earth walls can be seen everywhere on the mountains.

? Most of the villagers here still live in these old houses built with hard work and deep feelings. They grow fruits and vegetables in this mountain, raise chickens and feed ducks, put bees in front of the house and put sheep behind the mountain, and live a carefree field life.

Walking along the stream, I suddenly heard the sound of running water. Looking up, I saw a curtain waterfall splashing clean water from a hill, standing under the waterfall, scooping up a handful of clear mountain streams and sending them to the entrance, which was sweet and refreshing.

? According to reports, this waterfall was in the 1970s. In order to open up more fields on the original river, the village cut off the stream from a small hill for interception and diversion. I didn't expect this casual change. Today, it has become a must-see punch point for celebrities in Shuilouping rural tourism network.

In a hidden ravine, there is a Toona sinensis tree that has been growing for more than 200 years. It needs to grow alternately and be vigorous and old. It is listed as a municipal protected tree. We see many thousand-year-old trees in other places, such as ginkgo, yew and camphor tree, but the thousand-year-old eucalyptus can only be seen in Liling.

? I came once on 20 16. At that time, these illegal cooking dens of waste oil were hidden in this beautiful place, and they smelled disgusting everywhere, which made people flinch. After the local government took strong measures to crack down, it has now restored the tranquility in the mountains and become a blessed place for people to live and work in peace and contentment and play.

We walked along the mountain road and enjoyed the beautiful scenery in the mountains. I saw a striking signboard "Liu Laogen Villa" standing at a mountain pass. A clean and tidy cement road extends upward into a ravine. When we walked into the ravine, I saw a farmhouse courtyard surrounded by mountains. The farm looks quaint and elegant, and quietly welcomes visitors to the mountains with an open mind. We rest here at noon and eat farmhouse meals here. It is precisely because of the idyllic beauty of "Shuilouping" that "Liu Laogen Villa" flourished.

? In the afternoon, we continued to walk in the mountains. At the foot of Laoya Mountain, there is a clearing. I saw several old houses with earth walls scattered on the road leading to the mountain pass. Some are inhabited, some are dilapidated and idle. Two old houses are particularly eye-catching, and the exterior walls of the houses are painted orange, which is unique in this mountain.

We walked into a family excitedly, and as soon as we stepped into the room, a faint fragrance came to our eyes. When we raised our eyes to smell the fragrance, we saw a simple and elegant side room. The room is filled with all kinds of root carvings and pendants, and there are many exquisite calligraphy and painting works on the walls and counters. There is a long coffee table at the end of the house, and an elegant man is smiling and quietly receiving the visiting guests. While entertaining us with homemade fragrant tea, he enthusiastically introduced the local conditions and customs of the mountainous area. This is the modern version of Tao Yuanming by Mr. He, the owner of this old house.

It is understood that about ten years ago, Mr. He left the bustling downtown and came to the foot of this beautiful Laoya Mountain, rented in this old house with earth walls and lived an idyllic seclusion. He planted a tea tree at the back of the mountain and made a kind of tea with unique flavor. The tea he brewed has a unique taste and a long aftertaste. It was underwritten before listing, and we couldn't get it if we wanted to buy it.

He Laoshi looks good, has outstanding talents, is obsessed with calligraphy and painting, and has superb root carving ornaments, which is in short supply. Home-made thread fragrance is full of fragrance, which makes people feel refreshed.

? I went there once six years ago, but I didn't expect He Laoshi to persist until today. In the depths of this mountain, you can put aside the prosperity of the market, not pursue fame and fortune, and live your favorite pastoral life quietly. How much perseverance it takes!

? Many people yearn for such a life, but now how many people can really keep loneliness and endure poverty?

? I envy and admire him, but I can't.
