6. Introduction to scenic spots: Tianma Village, Zhou Lishu

Tianma Village in Zhou Lishu is like a streamer running through the scenic spot, with a total length of 5 kilometers, with different scenery in the upper reaches of the stream. * * * There are more than 0/0 landscapes/kloc, which can really be described as "a different scene in ten miles, and a sky in one mile". There are five major scenic spots: Mangcao Beach, Mollusca, Hemlock Community in the South, Huanglong Beach and Crouching Tiger Beach.

Mangaotan has a manger-shaped channel about 30 meters long. There are round holes of different sizes and shapes on the stones in the river bed, which look like "horseshoes". Legend has it that Emperor Yan of Shennong rode his horse to the stream and came here to collect herbs. He had a rest here, which was the hoofprint left by Tianma when he was drinking water by the stream. Actually, these "horseshoes" are mortars. During the Quaternary Glacier Movement 2.5 million years ago, the ice layer melted, and the ice water that had been melted for years poured down from a height and hit the ground. After constant impact, the stones on the ground were washed out of round holes. Because these round holes are like stone mortar, they are called ice mortar. In this group, the largest mortar is 3 meters in diameter and 2.7 meters in depth, and the smallest mortar is only a few centimeters, which is the size of a button. Most of the mortar has no water inlet at the peripheral height, only water outlet at the lower part, and a few mortar bottoms are connected to form a conjoined mortar. Some mortars are washed clean, there is water in the mortar, and small fish and shrimp are floating; Some are close to the stream bank and covered with flowers and plants, such as natural bonsai, which are unique and wonderful.

On both sides of Macaotan, there is a kind of yew-like plant, which is a tertiary residual tree species unique to the central subtropical region of China, and is known as the "living fossil" of plants-Tsuga australis. There are 4 hemlock trees over one thousand years old and 26 hemlock trees under one thousand years old in this community. "Four" and "26" are combined, which happens to be the birthday of Yandi Shennong (April 26th of the lunar calendar). Nature is such a coincidence. Along the Tianmazhai River, the landscape 500 meters away from Mangaotan is called Huanglongtan. The stream here is as transparent as a mirror. Under the sparkling waves, a 20-meter-long Huanglong seems to be swimming and playing in the water, and Long Lin and Africa's claws are looming, hence the name Huanglongtan.

About 1000 meters upstream of Huanglongtan, you reach Crouching Tiger Beach, where the stream is gurgling and crystal clear, and a "tiger" with yellow and black fur can be seen faintly below the stream, so people call it Crouching Tiger Beach. The "South China Tiger" lying quietly in this stream faithfully guards this sacred Tianma stockade regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter.

Baishui Village in Zhou Lishu

Baishui village is parallel to Tianma village, with a total length of 5 kilometers. Baishui village has rapids, rapids, deep valleys, shallow bays, narrow roads and sharp bends, which are primitive, mysterious, majestic and steep. Baishui Village and Tianma Village are dancing like two ribbons. The central part of Zhou Lishu Scenic Area is tightly wound from south to north. The waterfalls formed by steep mountains are like beautiful silver bars. Against the backdrop of waterfalls, the mountains are greener and more beautiful. Baishui Village has 18 scenic spots, among which Fokienia hodginsii Community, Beast Valley, Qinglong Valley and Lover Valley are the most distinctive.

Fokienia hodginsii is an endemic plant in China that survived the Tertiary in geological history. 19 1 1 year, a British merchant captain collected a strange plant specimen in Yongfu County (now Yongtai County) of Fujian Province. Similar in shape to pine and cypress, but not pine and cypress. He named it Fu Bai Jian, or simply Fobo. Since then, this tree species has not been found outside China in recent 100 years, and it is rare to appear in Zhou Lishu.

Beasts Valley is located in the downstream of Baishui Village, with a landscape of about 500 meters long. The rocks in the valley and the rocks on both sides of the river have been eroded by wind and rain, and their shapes are different and strange, resembling all kinds of animals. Some are like dragons, playing in the stream; Some are like deer, foraging on the shore; Some are like monkeys, standing on the rocks and keeping watch. From different angles, like different animals.

Zhou Lishu Qinglong Valley

Go up the river along the Beasts Valley1500m, and you will reach Qinglong Valley. Qinglong Valley consists of two streams, two pools and two waterfalls. The large Qinglong Lake is about 300 square meters, and the small 100 square meters is unfathomable. The water in the swimming pool is blue. According to legend, there is a Qinglong living in each of the two ponds, and the water is dyed this color, hence the name Qinglong Valley. Qinglong Lake forms two cascade waterfalls with a drop of about 20 meters, just like two windows hanging in a green barrier. The atomized water vapor sprayed from the waterfall comes at you head-on, which is refreshing and can thoroughly clean, discharge and purify the urban dirt and noise accumulated in your body.

From the west of Qinglong Valley to Lover Valley. Legend has it that a long time ago, a local couple was washing medicine in the medicine washing pool above the waterfall, and their wife accidentally fell into the deep pool under the waterfall. In order to save their wives, the husband risked his life to jump into the pool and pick up his wife who fell into the water. Because of the steep stone walls around the pool, they could not go ashore for a long time, and their lives were at stake. After the goddess Guanyin discovered it, she turned the stone wall on the right side of the waterfall into a stone flow, and the couple were finally saved. Lover Valley is mainly composed of waterfalls with a drop of about 50 meters and stone flows with a length of 50 meters, a width of 20 meters and a height of 30 meters. Looking down from the waterfall mouth, the waterfall flies down. Amazingly, you can see the waterfall, but you can't see where the flying water is going.

Alpine meadow in Zhou Lishu

Shennong Peak also has a unique landscape, which is the azalea gallery and alpine meadow. There are more than 200 acres of promenades. Due to the influence of alpine climate, these vegetation have been growing slowly for more than one hundred years. Spring has come, all kinds of wild flowers are in full bloom, and azaleas are dotted with this paradise.

Shennong Peak got its name. Alpine meadows are mainly distributed in mountainous areas above 1800 meters above sea level, with a total area of 1 10,000 mu. Among them, the meadow with an area of more than 3,000 mu is mainly concentrated in the southwest of Shennong Peak Scenic Area, about 4 kilometers away from Zhongzhou. Although the meadow is not as endless as the Inner Mongolia prairie, it is also deep and vast, with a height of about 30 cm. The grass layer is low and the grass quality is good. It is a special type of grassland, which grows on high mountains in cold environment. On the meadow, there are sporadic alpine long green shrubs, the trees are not tall, and the crown is round, like umbrellas, sheltering the grass from the wind and rain. Meadow vegetation is mainly perennial herbs with many kinds of perennial weeds, including Cyperaceae, Gramineae and miscellaneous grasses. It is an ideal place to carry out various outdoor activities and feel the vast grassland scenery in the north.
