Jiangxi Sanqingshan Tourist Guide

Welcome to the beautiful Sanqing Mountain. First of all, let me introduce you to the general situation of Sanqing Mountain:

Sanqing Mountain is located at the junction of Yushan and Dexing in the northeast of Wine Cup. The main peak, Yujing Peak, is 1,817 meters above sea level, dominating the peaks of the Huaiyu Mountains. Due to the three steep peaks of Yujing, Yuhua and Yuxu, Sanqing Mountain looks like the three gods of Yuqing (Yuanshi Tianzun), Shangqing (Lingbao Taojun) and Taiqing (Taishang Laojun) revered by Taoism sitting on its top. It is named after the ancient building Sanqing Palace.

Sanqing Mountain is located in a subtropical climate zone, but it has the characteristics of an alpine climate. The average annual temperature is between 10-12°C, the average temperature in July is 21.8°C, and the average annual precipitation is about 2,000 mm.

The scenery of Sanqing Mountain is beautiful in all four seasons. In the spring, azaleas bloom and flowers bloom; at the turn of spring and summer, springs fly and clouds and mist surround; in midsummer, the sun is shaded and cool and pleasant; before and after mid-autumn, thousands of flowers bloom. The peaks are beautiful, and the forests are dyed in layers; it is extremely cold, and the ice flowers and jade branches are wrapped in silver, just like a fairyland made of colored glaze.

The Sanqing Mountain Scenic Area is rich in tourism resources, with a large scale, complete types, and numerous attractions. The scenic area covers an area of ??more than 220 square kilometers, and the central scenic area is 71 square kilometers. It is divided into Sanqing Palace, Tiyunling, and Sanqing Palace. There are seven scenic spots: Dongkou, Yulingguan, Xihuatai, Shiguling and Yujing Peak. Sanqing Shandong is dangerous in the east and wonderful in the west, beautiful in the north and beautiful in the south. It has the characteristics of "the majesty of Mount Tai, the steepness of Mount Hua, the smoke and clouds of Mount Heng, and the waterfalls of Kuanglu". It has strange peaks and rocks, mist and Buddha light, ancient pines and trees, canyons and caves, The streams, springs and waterfalls, ancient buildings and stone carvings are unique, lifelike and lifelike.

Next, let’s visit the above attractions one by one!

Dear guests, today I will take you to a very unique scenery-the West Coast. The west coast of Sanqing Mountain is the product of long-term changes in crustal movement and geological processes. We once introduced that Sanqingshan has experienced 1.4 billion years of tremendous changes in geological history, including being submerged by sea water three times for 500 to 600 million years. Immediately afterwards, a very strong Himalayan orogeny occurred. The mountains rose rapidly, while hydraulic erosion cut downwards in the opposite direction, resulting in a huge difference in the terrain. Due to the varying degrees of the third sea inundation and the different directions of the granite geology, a complete coastline with walls rising into the sky and valleys sinking into abyss was formed in the west, and today's west coast is the result. Now let me introduce to you the four wonders of the West Coast:

The first wonder is the plank road

The plank road is actually the coast of the West China Sea.

Not long ago, the west coast scenic area was an inaccessible virgin forest. Because of this 4-kilometer-long Yunzhong Plank Road with no steps visible, we can stand at an altitude of more than 1,600 meters above sea level and a relative height of 200 meters to appreciate this magical and magnificent sea view. This is currently the longest and most majestic plank road in my country.

The second wonder is the sea of ??clouds

The sea of ??clouds in Sanqing Mountain is unique and unique. There are "xiangyun" that can make sounds here. As the clouds and mists billow, they will make sounds like tigers roaring and dragons roaring. After the sound cloud, "waterfall cloud" will appear again. The mountain wind wraps up the turbulent clouds, pouring from the cliff into the deep valley, forming a waterfall of clouds, which is very spectacular. There are also magical mushroom clouds, thrilling fire clouds, and if you are lucky, you can also enjoy the rare colorful waterfall clouds and mirages.

The third wonder is the Grand Canyon

Under our feet is the "underwater" world composed of Xixia Port, Feixian Valley, Emerald Valley, Hulu Bay and other grand canyons. These canyons have thousands of meters of walls and a formidable atmosphere, making the bold feel relaxed and happy, while the timid are trembling with fear.

The fourth wonder is the group of ancient and valuable trees

There are more than 1,800 ancient pines along the plank road, as well as rare tree species such as yew, East China yellow cedar, goddess flower, and thousand-year-old azalea. . These ancient trees growing on the cliffs could only be seen from a distance in the past. Now, we can pass by them in the air and get up close and personal. The four wonders of the West Coast are different throughout the year. The ever-changing, magical scenery of wide openings and closings allows everyone to enjoy different scenes.

Dharma Wall Viewing Spot: Tourist Trail

Look, does this look like an old man sitting there facing the stone wall? Who is this? The "wall-facing" The Bodhidharma monk who spent ten years trying to break the wall.

Prodigy carrying a pine (carrying a pine to plead guilty) Viewing spot: Tourist trail

Pine trees can be seen everywhere in Sanqing Mountain, but there are not many in Nanshan. Ge Xianweng ordered his disciples Qingfeng and Mingyue to move some pine trees from Beishan to Nanshan, and stipulated that they could only be moved at night. Unexpectedly, when the breeze was carrying the last pine tree, it was dawn, and he suddenly turned into stone, and had to carry the pine tree that could not be removed forever.

Marriage between Gods and Immortals (Sitting in Pregnancy with Peace of Mind) Viewing Spot: Tourist Trail

How come this rhododendron grows on the body of the pine tree? It is said that in ancient times, there was a medicine farmer who spent many years collecting food in the mountains. Medicine, when hungry, eat pine nuts. Over time, seven or eight inches of green hair grew all over his body. Every autumn and winter, the green hair on his body slowly turns red, so people call him Chisongzi. I don’t know how long it took, but one day, a beautiful girl suddenly came to him and said she wanted to marry him.

He was shocked and said: I am 300 years old, how old are you? The girl said: It doesn't matter, I am the youngest daughter of Emperor Yan, I am over 800 years old at least. Chi Songzi laughed after hearing this. So the old man and the young man lived a magical life on the West Coast. This landscape is also called Sitting in the arms of the pine tree, but who knows whether it is chaotic or not because the cuckoo is clearly sitting in the arms of the pine tree?

Shanmeng Oath Viewing Spot: Plank Road

Knowing the Shanmengang Oaths What is the origin of the word? Mountain refers to Sanqing Mountain; sea refers to the West Sea. Have you seen this crack in the stone? There is a lover standing on one side of the crack in the stone and the other standing on the other side of the crack in the stone. The two of them express their love loudly and shout: "I love you! Even if the sea is dry and the stone is broken, the heart will never change!" Please! Couples should not miss this opportunity to settle their relationship. Let Sanqingshan bear witness to your love.

Longmen Viewpoint: Plank Road

This natural pass is called Longmen. Once you pass through the Dragon Gate, it means you have entered the fairyland of the West Sea. Viewing on the west coast, you have a broad view of the rolling mountains and criss-crossing canyons. It will make you feel that your mind has suddenly broadened.

Xixia Port Viewing Spot: Plank Road

This is the first harbor on the west coast and is famous for its unique glow in the sea of ??clouds. The West Sea is cloudy, and clouds often gather together in winter and spring. Clouds give rise to clouds, and clouds give rise to brilliance. It is as beautiful as you want it to be. In the winter of 1985, a photographer captured such a spectacle: below the sea of ??clouds was a patch of light blue, but above were clusters of red clouds. A golden sun was falling from the clouds, but another sun was reflected under the sea of ??clouds, with golden ripples rising around it. Do you think it's strange that two suns appear in the same sky? In summer and autumn, after rain, a rainbow often appears across the sky, like a fairy bridge, also known as the colorful road in the clouds. Of course, whether you can witness this peculiar phenomenon with your own eyes depends on your luck!

Nine-day Great Wall viewing point: Plank Road

This is a peak wall type landscape, which resembles the famous Chinese The Great Wall of China is called the "Nine Heavens Great Wall". It is about 100 meters long, with a wall thickness of 15 meters and a height of about 60 meters. The wall is upright and the surface is flat. It is a well-developed and preserved granite peak wall landform. Peak wall refers to a wall-like landform of a certain scale. The wall is steep and has a certain direction. The two walls should be nearly parallel and extend stably. The upper and lower parts of the wall should be about the same thickness.

Green Dragon Exploring the Sea Viewpoint: Plank Road

As you can see, a row of green pines grows horizontally on the stone wall on the right side of Longmen, just like green dragons exploring the West Sea. This is the famous Sanqing Tanhaisong.

Guanyin Sending Sons Viewpoint: Plank Road

This scenic spot is called Guanyin Sending Sons. Legend has it that Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty implemented a maritime ban in order to regain Taiwan. Fishermen can no longer go to sea to fish, so they have to make a living everywhere. A fisherman came from Fujian and settled at the foot of Sanqing Mountain. Being far away from his hometown and unaccustomed to the local environment, his only son soon fell ill and died. The couple was very sad, and the mother cried her heart out day after day. This cry alarmed Nanhai Guanyin. The great benevolent and compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva came to the West Sea on a cloud. That night, the mother dreamed that Guanyin Bodhisattva walked into her home holding a child. The mother finally gave birth to a son again. From then on, they multiplied and continued their family lineage. Today, there are tens of thousands of descendants of Quanzhou people in Fujian Province in Sanqing Mountain, and most of them speak southern Fujian Hakka dialect. If you don’t believe it, ask the masters who carry the sedan chair.

Xianqiao Pier Viewpoint: Xixia Port Plank Road

The mountain in front is Huaiyu Mountain, and in the middle lies a vast abyss and sea of ??clouds. Legend: Taoist priests always wanted to build an overpass to Huaiyu for their own convenience, but they spent a lot of effort to build a bridge pier, but they did not want to build it anymore. Do you know the reason? It turns out that these Taoist priests have all become immortals. It is very convenient to ride on the clouds and mist, and there is no need to build any bridges at all. Well, that high cliff is the remaining fairy bridge pier.

Mazu Peak (Mazu Navigation) Viewing Point: Plank Road

Mazu, the god’s name is Lin Moniang, and she is from Fujian. At the age of 16, she gained enlightenment and had the power of transformation. She could protect the safety of ships going out to sea. The fishermen all respected her as the God of the Sea.

Although the descendants of the Hakkas in Sanqing Mountain are far away from the sea, Mazu God has been their protector for generations. Therefore, there is this Mazu God Peak in the West Sea.

Mazu is also known as Tianfei and Tianhou. There are many palaces and temples of her in this urban and rural area, usually called Tianhou Palace and Tianfei Temple. Mazu, as the sea god, is revered and worshiped in the mainland, which is probably related to the culture brought by the inland migration of coastal fishermen.

Four Sound Valley

This is the Four Sound Valley. It's not surprising that there are echoes in the mountains, but usually there are only three. And here, as long as you shout, there will be four echoes in the valley. If you don’t believe it, try it.

Feixian Valley

Feixian Valley is the most majestic and steepest grand canyon on the west coast. It has cliffs soaring into the sky, cutting vertically for nearly a thousand meters, with criss-crossing valleys and winding streams, which is very spectacular.

You see, Feixian Valley is connected to Tianyu at the top - the three peaks of Yujing, Yuhua and Yuxu are located on the top of it. The Taoist ancestor of the Sanqing Dynasty personally sits here; it is connected to Dragon Palace at the bottom - the winding peaks at the bottom of the valley , just like the Dragon Palace in the West Sea where dragons are churning. The clouds are flying here all year round, and in front of you is just a vast sea of ??clouds and fairy mountains and islands floating on it.

But on a sunny day with few clouds, we can clearly see the various shapes of strange peaks and rocks in the canyon.

This entire canyon is covered with a primeval forest, where not only bears, leopards, monkeys, muntjacs and other animals are found, but also rare birds such as white pheasants and mountain birds can be seen. This primeval forest doesn't seem very big when we look at it from a high place, but once you go in, you will know how terrifying and quiet it is. In the past, a tourist got lost while exploring and it took three days and three nights to get out.

The sunset in Feixian Valley is also unique, extremely brilliant and ever-changing. No wonder some people say that in Feixian Valley, you can become a god even if you are not a god. Yunzhong Plank Road (plank road in the sky), please look back and take a look, are we walking in the sea of ??clouds?

This Yunzhong Plank Road is a unique scenery in the West Coast Scenic Area. The tourist trail on the west coast is entirely composed of high-altitude plank roads, with a total length of 4,000 meters, of which more than 1,600 meters are erected on cliffs. This is a major man-made wonder in Sanqing Mountain.

There is no step on the plank road, it is all very flat. Not long ago, a national bicycle exhibition competition was held here. So why build such a plank road in the clouds?

The scenery on the West Sea side of Sanqing Mountain is particularly beautiful, but the cliffs are difficult to climb. With the plank road erected, you can have a panoramic view of the magnificent scenery of the entire West Sea. This is one of them. Secondly, connecting the North Mountain and the Nanshan Mountain through the plank road also saves tourists from the pain of crossing mountains and mountains.

Tourists are very curious about the construction of the plank road. There is an introduction in the previous "West Coast Notes": The plank road began to be surveyed in June 2001, and the construction started at the end of the same year and was completed in 5 months. No one was injured during the construction of this plank road. The scenery along the way, including pines, cypresses and strange rocks, was preserved intact. This cannot be said to be a miracle.

So how to build this suspended plank road? There are several steps: First, choose a protruding rock to set up a scaffolding. The construction workers stand on it and drive a rock into the stone wall diagonally. Use a steel drill and then cover it with a steel pipe, so that you have the first fulcrum. Then carve the second steel drill from the horizontal direction, and also insert the steel pipe, so that there is a triangular steel frame base on the stone wall. One

base is connected, and wooden boards are laid on top to form a work surface suspended above the cliff. The workers stood on the table and worked upwards, spreading out section by section. As for the plank road itself, first use a pneumatic drill to drill a hole to a depth of 1.5 meters, then wash away the gravel powder in the hole, insert 22 cm diameter ribbed steel, and then pour high-grade cement slurry. The construction of the Yunzhong Plank Road on the West Coast is a pioneering initiative in the country.

The Dragon King marries his daughter

On the cliff in front, there is a scene of the Dragon King marrying his daughter. Look - the one sitting in the middle is the daughter of the Dragon King of the West Sea. She looked happy and anxious, because she was getting married, and there were many soldiers and generals surrounding her.

Zheng He's Voyages to the West

After Emperor Jianwen of the Ming Dynasty was overthrown by his uncle Zhu Di, he fled to an unknown destination. After Zhu Di became emperor, he sent people to search everywhere. Later, I heard that Emperor Jianwen might have fled south to the sea. So Zheng He, the eunuch of Sanbao, was sent to lead a fleet to search for him at sea. One night, Zheng He had a dream. Someone told him in his dream that Emperor Jianwen was a Taoist priest in Sanqing Palace. So he led the fleet to the west coast.

When everyone goes to Sanqing Palace, you can see a couplet in the main hall: "Unify the Ming Dynasty, wish Emperor Zuo to live in hundreds of generations, and the three days of Wuji will preserve the Tao Qi in Yuqing, Shangqing and Taiqing." It is said that it is Emperor Jianwen Written.

King of East China Huangshan

This is the largest Huangshan tree in Sanqing Mountain, known as the "King of East China Huangshan". It is more than 30 meters high and the tree is more than 600 years old. You see, in order to protect it, the construction workers also left a hole in the plank road.

Huadong cedar is known as the living fossil of plants and is very precious. Sanqing Mountain is the most ideal growing place for East China yellow cedar, and it is also the most concentrated natural base. According to surveys by the forestry department, it covers an area of ??several thousand acres.

Looking west to Huaiyu

Tourists, looking from here, there seems to be a mist-shrouded fairy island on the opposite side, which is Huaiyu Mountain. Huaiyu Mountain is very famous in history. There used to be Huaiyu Academy there, where Zhu Xi, a famous philosopher, educator and thinker in the Southern Song Dynasty, gave lectures. Zhu Xi was from Wuyuan, Shangrao. Shangrao was influenced by his Neo-Confucianism and produced many talents. Yushan County is the famous "Doctor County" - more than 200 doctors have been produced in one county, which is amazing!

The Sanqing Mountain area is also a red revolutionary base area. The great revolutionary Fang Zhimin fought here. He was betrayed by a traitor and was captured in Huaiyu Mountain opposite. He later died heroically in Nanchang. His works "Lovely China" and "Poverty" have inspired generations of people. Therefore, Sanqingshan is listed as a national patriotism education base.

Look again, there are two silver belt-like highway lines on the other side of Huaiyu Mountain. One leads to the depths of the mountain, which is Huaiyu Mountain Field, which is said to be the place that produces the most jade. Another road leads to the Dexing Copper Mine, which is the largest copper mine in Asia, so Dexing City is known as the "Copper Capital of China". There are gold, silver, copper, and especially jade near our Sanqing Mountain. There are so many treasures.

If you take a walk in the Emerald Valley on the west coast, you might be able to pick up a gem!

Emerald Valley (Safflower Camellia Valley, Cuigu Red Flower)

Emerald Valley is To Huaiyu Mountain, this is the hometown of Jade.

Jade can be divided into red jade and green jade. Red is jade and green is jade, so this place is called Jade Valley.

The Emerald Valley is also covered with safflower camellia trees. In late spring, the camellias are in full bloom, and the Emerald Valley is filled with patches of red clouds, which are very brilliant. This is one of the reasons why the Emerald Valley got its name.

The oil squeezed from the tea tree is called safflower tea oil. It is particularly fragrant for cooking and has the effect of lowering blood pressure and blood lipids. It is a real green food.

Qiulong Pine

These two Qiulong pines are the kings of pine trees in Sanqing Mountain. Not only does its branches grow as vigorous and powerful as a horned dragon, but also like a horned dragon, it brings good luck and happiness to people. Many pilgrims go up the mountain to pray to it for blessings and longevity.

Moding pine

There are many pine trees in Sanqing Mountain with curved branches and flat tops, called Moding pine. In fact, this is mainly related to the environmental conditions of growth. Up on Sanqing Mountain, the wind is strong and the snow is heavy in winter. Therefore, pine branches grow along with the wind. The pine needles, under the heavy snow cover, also grow short, dense, and flat, as if they had been cut. Over time, it became a special breed. There are many such pines in Huangshan Mountain, and they can be seen everywhere in Sanqing Mountain.

Datiyan

Sanqing Mountain has the power of a tiger and a dragon, and it has attracted countless heroes throughout the ages. Just below this place, there is a cave with a height of about 2 meters and an area of ??more than 150 square meters. According to legend, it is the site where Huang Chao, the leader of the peasant rebel army in the late Tang Dynasty, stationed troops. At that time, Huang Chao's rebels used the cave as a place to make weapons, so it was called Titie Rock. According to research, Huang Chao went south that year and entered the Sanqing Mountain area from Anhui. After returning to the Central Plains, he was surrounded by heavy troops and had to enter Jiangxi from Anhui again and stationed at Egong Village at the northern foot of Sanqing Mountain. Xuannv’s Gate (Jade Girl Presents Flowers)

This scenic spot is called Xuannv’s Gate, also known as Jade Girl Presenting Flowers.

In fact, it turns out that this is a cliff, and this landscape is impossible to see. It was the construction of the plank road that allowed everyone to feast their eyes on it. The Monkey King Guan Bao

The rock on the top of the mountain in front is the famous landscape - the Monkey King Guan Bao. The Monkey King is, of course, Sun Wukong, and this mountain range is Sun Wukong’s old base—Huaguo Mountain. Sun Wukong was staring at the treasure in his hand. I'm afraid he got that treasure from the Dragon King of the West Sea.

This landscape is one of the most beautiful scenery in Sanqing Mountain.

Mother-child pine

This is mother-child pine. The big one is like a mother stretching out her hands; the small one is like her son clinging to her side. Some people say that this is the family happiness of pine trees! When building this viewing platform, the Sanqingshan Management Committee used ingenuity to protect this group of emotional pine trees and cleverly made it into a natural bonsai.

Calabash Bay (Screw Valley)

This valley leads to the Sanqing Blessed Land and is named after its shape like a gourd. Hulu Bay is filled with the aura of mountain mist all year round, which makes it feel a bit mysterious. In the local area, there has always been a saying that the immortal energy in Hulu Bay is very strong, and immortals often appear. Therefore, many bizarre stories about encountering immortals are still circulated among the people.

"If you don't visit Nanqing, you don't know Sanqing Mountain."

Today, I will accompany all the group members to visit the Nanshan of Sanqing Mountain. In particular, I would like to introduce to you the three peaks of the Seven Wonders of the Three Pure Lands, known as the "Three Wonders" in the world: "Guanyin Listens to Pipa", "Giant Python Comes Out" and "Goddess Peak". Sanjue is located in Tiyunling Scenic Area.

Friends, please follow the direction of my finger and look: the peak is more than 80 meters high, shaped like a girl, plump and beautiful, with a high nose bridge, cherry mouth, round dismount, and a beautiful girl shoulder-length, sitting upright. , deep in thought, and holding two ancient pines in his hands, intending to keep the spring scenery in the world forever. The peak is so deep that it looks like a miraculous workmanship, creating this art treasure - this is what I want to introduce to you first - the Goddess Peak.

According to legend, this "goddess" is the beloved daughter of an old man who collects herbs at the foot of Sanqing Mountain. She has been talented and kind-hearted since she was a child. She followed her father to collect herbs and treat illnesses. She has done countless good deeds for the local people and moved the three people. Qingshenzun was extradited to become a god and became the emperor and a fairy. One day, she found in the Heavenly Palace that the Jade Emperor summoned several civil and military gods to plan how to transfer all the stones from Sanqing Mountain to the Heavenly Palace to build a palace, turn Sanqing Mountain into the sea, and let the people act as mermaids. She was so frightened that in order to save her fellow villagers, she risked her personal safety and tried every means to leak the secrets of Tiangong to the villagers in Sanqingshan and told them how to escape. The folks in Sanqing Mountain followed the goddess's method to smash the Jade Emperor's conspiracy and avoid a catastrophe. However, the leak of the secret was quickly investigated and punished by the Jade Emperor. In anger, he threw the "goddess" into the mortal world and turned into a stone man who could never speak. For many years, this goddess has been subject to wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and she has always been so magnanimous. She sat virtuously and dignifiedly by the jade platform of the "Nanqing Palace", staring at the changes in the world. She is silently blessing the human world every moment, and she is dedicating her tenderness, affection and hope to the tourists who come for sightseeing. Goddess Peak is the embodiment of truth, goodness and beauty.

Friends, please look over there, facing the Goddess Peak, close to the cliff on the east side of Jade Emperor Peak, rising abruptly from the deep valley, and rising straight into the sky. Please look carefully, what does that peak look like?

"Like a snake" or "like a giant python". Friends, your eyesight and imagination are indeed very strong. This is the second most beautiful scenery of Sanqing Mountain that I will introduce to you. ——The giant python comes out of the mountain.

The peak is 128 meters high, with a waist circumference of more than 10 meters. The head is huge and flat, shaped like a snake's head, and the neck is slightly thinner and gradually thicker, like a snake standing upright. The peaks are green and red, and the spots are like python patterns. The spirit is like a giant python that has been dormant for a long time. It is erect and wants to penetrate directly. A burst of clouds and mist fly over, as if it is a cloud of purple mist spit out by the giant python. People. What’s more interesting is that when you look at it from another angle, you will suddenly find that this “python” transforms into another vivid thing as the person’s perspective changes. In appearance, Shi Feng is divided into two sections. The lower section looks like an old man with all five senses, who is rushing on the road. The upper section looks like a ten-year-old boy riding on the old man's shoulders, staring ahead. It seems that a father is carrying his son on his back to the examination room. , the people in the mountains call it "hoping for a child to become a dragon". This wonderful name reflects the long-cherished wish of the people in the mountains for generations.

The magical stone peak is often associated with many wonderful legends. There is also a wonderful legend about the "Giant Python coming out of the mountain" that was born in the sky and pierced into the sky: a long time ago, it is said that in order to achieve Zhengguo, a green-headed python practiced hard in the mountains for 9,900 years, year after year. In the ninety-ninth year, when he was about to become an immortal, this python failed to live up to his expectations and insisted on eating the forbidden fruit of Sanqing Mountain.

Someone told the leader of Sanqing about this. The leader was so angry that he punished the snake for The stone body is pressed under Wanhu Chaotian Peak, guarding this deep mountain canyon forever. What a pity, nine thousand and nine hundred years of practice have turned into a cannon shadow.
