Shunan Bamboo Sea Tour Guide's Explanation

Guide to the Bamboo Sea in southern Sichuan Hello ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to visit the Bamboo Sea in southern Sichuan. I believe that in this vast and poetic green ocean, you will definitely be attracted by her deep, clear and elegant natural beauty, leaving an unforgettable impression. Now, we are going to set off by car. Please allow me to give you a brief introduction to the Bamboo Sea in southern Shu.

Shunnan Bamboo Sea is located in the remnants of the Tianshan Mountains connected to Changning and Jiang'an counties under the jurisdiction of Yibin City. It is 60 kilometers away from Yibin City. It is a bamboo landscape as the main feature and also has cultural relics and historic sites. Scenic area. The scenic area covers an area of ??120 square kilometers, with dense bamboo forests and blue waves touching the sky. It was listed as a key scenic spot in Sichuan Province in 1986. It was approved by the State Council as a national key scenic spot in 1988. In 1991, it was selected as one of the "Four Chinese Tourist Attractions" by the National Tourism Administration. One of the "Top Ten". In the past 10 years, the development and construction of the Shunan Bamboo Sea has made great progress, and its popularity at home and abroad has become higher and higher. It has become one of the key tourist routes launched by the country and the province, and is listed as one of the four priorities of Sichuan Province. One of the developed tourist attractions.

The Bamboo Sea in southern Shu is also known as Wanling Qing. Wanling describes the vastness of the mountainous countryside, and Qing refers to the huge bamboo forest. It is said that when Huang Tingjian, the great poet of the Northern Song Dynasty, was demoted to Rongzhou (today's Yibin), he came here to visit the ancient times. Facing the boundless green bamboo sea, he repeatedly praised: "It's so majestic, the bamboo waves are thousands of miles away, and the Emei sisters are here!" The villagers toasted. Asking for an inscription, Huang pushed away the wine bowl and said, "The beauty makes me drunk." He used a bamboo broom as a pen to write three huge characters "Wanling Qing" on the wall. Although the handwriting has weathered, the name Wanlingqing is still in use today.

How did the Bamboo Sea form? There are many theories. Some say that in ancient times, Nuwa made five colors to patch the sky, and piled the remaining red stones here to form Ten Thousand Mountains of Red Ridge. Later, the fairy Yao Qing was demoted to the mortal world by the Jade Emperor for violating the rules of heaven. When she came here, she saw a piece of red soil and it was a pity, so she built a vast sea of ??bamboo. Another legend is: Zhuge Liang's troops from the southern expedition passed here when they returned to the court. At that time, the mountains were exposed, the red sun was streaming, and the mountain roads were filled with smoke, which melted the horseshoes of the Shu army. 200,000 war horses fell to death, and the soldiers retreated in embarrassment, abandoning them in the ravine. The horse whip has grown into a bamboo forest. Nowadays, there are many horseshoe-shaped water secluded areas in the inner streams of the Bamboo Sea. This is because the river ditches were the stone roads in those days and are the traces left by horses. These legends are just myths made up by people, reflecting people's praise for the magical beauty of the bamboo sea. In fact, the origin of the Bamboo Sea should be due to its geographical location and excellent soil and climate conditions. Do you know? Although the mountains here are undulating, the altitude is only 400-1180 meters, the annual average temperature is 15.5 degrees Celsius, the frost-free period is 345 days, the annual rainfall is 1250 mm, the air humidity is usually about 85%, the soil is fertile, warm and humid The climate is very suitable for the growth of bamboo. Coupled with the hard work and careful care of the working people of past generations, today's vast ocean of bamboo has been created and preserved. Therefore, it should be said that the bamboo sea in southern Sichuan is not only a gift from nature, but also the result of generations of labor of the people of Zhuxiang. In a word: The bamboo sea is the product of the union of heaven and man.

The scenery of the Bamboo Sea is different in four seasons, with different sunshine and darkness. In spring, new bamboo shoots are sprouting, flowers are blooming and birds are singing, and everything is full of life; in midsummer, new bamboo is added with greenery, the forest breeze is refreshing, and the cool world is everywhere; in golden autumn, the bamboo is as green as black, and the red leaves are delicate; in midwinter, the mountains and hills are covered with silver and covered with emeralds yarn. On a sunny day, thousands of hectares of bamboo waves are sifting through golden colors, which makes people feel intoxicated; in the fog, the bamboo sea is covered with smoke, and the scenery is blurred, like a dreamy wonderland. In short, no matter when, as long as you spread the wings of your imagination, you will enjoy the endless fun in this sea of ??bamboos with thousands of scenes.

Now, we drive from Yibin across the Jinsha River Bridge, exit Chentangguan, pass through Changning County, and arrive at the clear Qingjiang River. The beautiful Qingjiang River is the peripheral scenic spot of the Bamboo Sea, like a jade belt, connecting the towns and villages in Changning, Jiang'an, Xingwen and Gong counties. The clear river water, the bamboo groves on the banks, the lush fields, and some cottages are dotted with houses. If you take a boat or a bamboo raft and go down, you will really have the feeling of "swimming in the middle of a painting".

Now we have arrived at the west gate of the Bamboo Sea in southern Sichuan. The two characters "Bamboo Sea" carved on the stone outside the gate were written by General Zhang Aiping. The west gate is a monument built with bamboo. The clever design highlights that this is a world of bamboo. After crossing the archway and walking for one kilometer, it suddenly became clear that the small bridge had arrived.

Xiaoqiao is the seat of Changning Wanling Town Government and Zhuhai Management. It is also the accommodation, entertainment and shopping center of Shunan Zhuhai West Scenic Area. The town has a classical and elegant two-star hotel that combines Chinese and Western styles, the Bamboo Sea Hotel, the Shunan Hotel with modern architecture, and small, unique farmhouses.

Please follow me into the scenic spot! Museum Moxi River Wangyou Valley

Go up from Xiaoqiao River and cross Longtan. There is a stone bridge paved with whole stones. The bridge is 5 meters long. meters, 1 meter wide, and the stone slab is 0.75 meters thick. How such a heavy stone slab was transported shows that the people of Zhuxiang have already studied mechanics. This bridge was originally made of two large stone slabs, and one of them is now broken in the ditch. Legend has it that the Qing army was defeated by the army led by Shi Dakai, the wing king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. They fled here. They wanted to break the bridge to stop the pursuers. The stone slab was too thick and could not be beaten, so they used tung oil and sulfur to burn it. A stone slab on the right had just exploded. The Taiping army had already chased it. The Qing army was chasing it. The army fled, but Shi Dakai's team extinguished the flames, saved half of the stone bridge, and repaired the broken bridge with small strips of stone. The bamboo farmers were grateful and called it Yiwang Bridge.

Next to Yiwang Bridge is the "Changning Bamboo Sea Museum" established in 1986 with the approval of the provincial government. It mainly displays bamboo resources, bamboo cultural development, and bamboo handicrafts. It has collected more than 800 pieces of physical information. It is rich and informative, so everyone is welcome to visit (the museum has a special explanation).

Cross the bridge and go left, you will see a stream as dark as ink, which is the Moxi River. Legend has it that the reason why the stream turned black was because Huang Tingjian wrote the three characters "Wan Ling Qing" in his inscription and dropped it into the stream, blackening the landscape, the orchids on both sides, and even the animals in the stream. . In fact, when you hold the stream water, it is clear and transparent, but why is it black? It turns out that the river bed of the stream is covered with dark green moss. The dense bamboo forest on both sides and the dim skylight create this wonderful scene. There are several bamboo bridges and stone bridges on the stream, which are simple and unpretentious, making Moxi even more profound. One mile above is the Jiu-Die Spring, each stack is about one meter, cascading down from the top of the mountain, half-hidden in the bamboo forest. It is very charming. Because the water is small and the rocks are high, it falls into a mist and rain, covering the mountain wall, and Because the stone on the wall looks like a dragon head, people call this scene "Misty Rain Dragon Palace". There is a cave on the right side of the cliff called "Monkey Cave". It used to be that the water curtain hung at the entrance of the cave, which was also a scene. A poet once sang about it: "When was the cave door opened? The deep valley Gaoling River has changed. Only the water curtain cannot flow away, and it often flows to this day." Hanging by the green rock. "It's a pity that now it's "hanging" all the time.

On the right side of the Moxi Gate is the Bamboo Sea Cableway, with a total length of more than 2,700 meters. Take the cable car up to reach the sea view tower, emerald corridor and other scenic spots in the central scenic area of ??Bamboo Sea. Looking at the bamboo sea from the ropeway, the horizon is wider, the landscape is more magnificent, and it is also interesting.

Cross the Yiwang Bridge and go to the right, pass through the Ci Bamboo Forest, and walk along the Mianzhu River. In front of you, there is a dense bamboo forest, the light is dim, the forest wind blows, and the coolness soaks you. There are scattered rocks in the stream, some of which are long. It is covered with moss, some are covered with orchids, and some have small trees growing out. Occasionally, you can see water birds jumping on the stream, which makes people feel peaceful and far away from the world. This is the Valley of Forgetfulness. Speaking of Wangyou Valley, is there a beautiful story? According to legend, there were big families named Zeng and Du living outside the Bamboo Sea. The two families had been feuding for generations because of the dispute over the boundaries of the mountains and forests. Later, the Zeng family had a son named Zeng Nan, and the Du family had a daughter named Du Juan. Zeng Nan was smart and talented since childhood, and Du Juan was ingenious. They were deeply in love with each other, who had been enemies for generations. They were opposed by the families of both sides. They were under strict house arrest and forced each other with sticks, but the two remained determined and never wavered. yield. On a stormy night, a white-fronted tiger roared into the Zeng family compound, scared off the servants, broke open the cell door, carried Zeng Nan over the wall, and fled. On the same night, the Du family also discovered that Du Juan, who was under house arrest in the show building, suddenly disappeared. It is said that the bitter love between the two moved Fairy Yaoqing and sent an envoy to bring them to the Bamboo Sea. Many years later, people discovered that a tall and majestic evergreen tree grew in this valley, and dependent on it was a delicate and delicate shrub with clusters of pink flowers. People said that it was the two of them. Incarnation. So the big tree was called Zhennan, and this flowering tree was called Rhododendron. In this valley, there are often green-colored birds singing songs praising the couple who will be together forever. Listening carefully, it sounds like they are singing "Forget about worries, lovers will eventually get married." According to this story, the name of Wangyou Valley was originally called by birds.

Tiansheng Bridge is the main attraction of Wangyou Valley. It is a masterpiece of hydraulic power. The stream squeezes out from the boulders, rushes down, and breaks out of a natural arch hole, just like a small bridge. Please look at this huge stone next to the bridge that is 4 meters high, 5 meters wide and 6 meters long. It cuts a stone crack about 60 centimeters wide like a knife and an axe. It is covered with wisteria, but a row of jade emerges from the stone crack. The pillar-like Nanzhu looks like bamboo cutting through the stone cliff and piercing the sky, hence the name "Sky-breaking". Ah, what thunder is piercing your ears! Please look up and see that there are towering peaks on three sides of this place, and a tall waterfall falls from the clouds and mist in front of you. It splashes a mist on the spot and goes straight to the mouth of the valley. The recessed rock cavity in the waterfall is shaded by a curtain of water, which makes it look a bit mysterious. People call it "Flying Curtain Palace". Guanyunting Emerald Corridor Guanhai Tower

Three kilometers up Xiaoqiao Highway, Guanyunting towers high on the hill. This place was originally called Jiaozi Stone. Legend has it that in the first year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty, Yi Wang Shi Dakai defeated the Qing soldiers at Guanxing at the foot of the mountain. Tang Yougeng, the leader of the Qing soldiers, was seriously injured and could not ride a horse. He arrived here in a sedan. When he heard that the pursuers were coming, he was so frightened that he abandoned the sedan and ran away. . The big stone in the road is the sedan chair from that time. Guanyun Pavilion stands next to the rock, with distant mountains looming, cool breeze blowing, and terraced fields at the foot of the mountain. They look like mirrors arranged in layers after autumn, and like green carpets stacked in layers in summer, creating a tranquil and beautiful scene in the mountain countryside. If it is a cloudy day, it will be a different scene, but you will see clouds and mist rolling in the valley, the distant mountains and close views become vague, and you seem to be melting into the clouds and mist.

As you walk from Guanyun Pavilion, the terrain gradually becomes gentle, and the bamboo forest becomes even more lush and deep. Green bamboos on both sides here crowd into the road, blocking out the sky and the sun. People walk through the red sand road in the forest, just like It's like walking into a green and red jade tunnel, but you feel the forest wind blowing, the bamboo waves rustling, and your body and mind feel cool. Here is the famous Jade Corridor. It's a sunny day today. Please look at the rays of sunlight filtering through the cracks between the branches and leaves, filtering out golden spots. At this time, the promenade is colorful and bright, and it has become a beautiful gallery. Let's walk slowly. If you read it, you will definitely have a deeper understanding of the four words "relaxation and joy". Exit the promenade and arrive at Guanhai Building. This building was originally used by the forestry department to detect fires in the forest area. Visitors can also go up to the height and look far into the distance to experience the majesty of the vast blue sea of ??bamboo.

After passing through the corridor and walking out of the forest belt, the sky appeared in front of us. It turned out that we were facing a cliff.

We stood in front of the statue of Guanyin, which "purveys all living beings". At our feet is a deep valley, which is thrilling! There is a waterfall next to us that falls from the cliff to the bottom of the valley. This is the Thirteenfold Spring. A rock on the other side of the deep valley is called Guabang Rock. Legend has it that Taoist Shao, who became an immortal in Xianyu Cave, was recruiting Taoist disciples when he wrote the admission list on the stone wall, so he was summoned. Everyone came down the steps and walked along the stone path through the water curtain to reach Xianyu Cave. This water curtain is about 5 meters high and 3 meters wide. The water potential changes in different seasons. Because it often shows several colors under the sunlight, it is called "Purple Cloud Buddha Light". The 20-centimeter-wide chain pattern on the stone wall is naturally created and mottled in color. People say it is a necklace left here by a fairy.

Xianyu Cave is not actually a cave, but a half cave about 500 meters long, backed by a cliff and facing a deep valley in front. We in Sichuan call it "Wayan Cavern". There used to be a flying pavilion where elixirs flowed and incense flourished here. The cave is divided into the Reclining Buddha Hall, the Big Buddha Hall, the Second Buddha Hall, the Jade Emperor Hall, the Goddess of Heaven and Earth Mother Hall, and the Lingguan Hall. There are also inscriptions on the halls that were rebuilt during the Wang De period of the Ming Dynasty. Now that the palaces and pavilions are gone, only a few cliff statues from the Ming Dynasty remain, which have weathered to varying degrees. Please look at this statue of a spiritual official, which is about 1 meter high. It has a hot wheel on its feet, a divine whip in its hand, wide-eyed eyes, and a wide mouth. It is majestic and the carving is rough and powerful. There is also an intact Nine Dragon Stele carved in Ming Dynasty. Nine stone dragons are carved on the stone 50 cm high and 30 cm wide, with their heads and tails raised, and they are vivid. There are many inscriptions on the roof of the cave, but unfortunately the inscription by Su Dongpo no longer exists. I remember that what he wrote was a couplet: "There are hanging rocks in the sky, and the stone holes are exquisite. I wonder when the turbidity was dug; I look for ancient caves in the clouds, and the seal smoke is misty, and I watch the gods flying from overseas." Please taste it, Mr. Su Isn't this question that evokes emotions just adds a lot of fun to Xianyu Cave!

In the water secluded by the waterfall on the hanging rock in front of the Erfo Hall, the scrolls are lying. There is a stone cow, this scene is called "Tianhe Drinking Cow". According to legend, one early in the morning, the Weaver Girl was afraid that the old cow would die of thirst, so she wanted to pull him up to heaven. The old cow insisted on helping the Bamboo Fairy to sow the bamboo before returning to the sky with the Bamboo Fairy. Seeing that there was no water to quench her thirst, the old cow was about to die of thirst. The Weaver Girl broke the rules of heaven again and cut the Tianhe River with a weaving shuttle, and released a clear spring to save the old cow. By this time, the old cow had died of fatigue and thirst and turned into a A hundred oxen. In fact, this is a bamboo stick technique. It is used in severe droughts. It is refreshing and delicious. It has the function of strengthening the gastrointestinal tract and aiding digestion. It is an ideal mountain spring water for weight loss and fitness.

Xianyu Cave is located under the highest peak of Wanlingqing, and the scenery is quite beautiful. On a sunny day, you can have a panoramic view of hundreds of miles of mountains and rivers, which relaxes your mind; on a rainy day, fog wraps around the peaks, and the surrounding area is covered in mist, as if you are floating in the sky. There is a poem from the predecessors that says: "Above the fairy abode, high in the sky, there is a stone cave hanging on the top. There is no trace of human life along the path, except for apes and cranes." Now that the road has been repaired, we will feel that this The poem is a bit exaggerated. However, this high mountain landscape in the vast bamboo sea does add a lot of color to the bamboo sea. Once you are in the bamboo sea, you must visit here.

Go forward to Tianbao Village. It is said that Tianbao Village is the place where Taoist Shao cultivates immortality. Please look at this stone pillar at Zhaikou, which is more than 10 meters long. The stone on the top is shaped like an umbrella cover, which is dangerous but not falling. This is called "Yellow Umbrella Hundred". According to folklore, there were no such hundred in front of the village. Shao Taoist cultivated in the village and became an immortal. He flew to Fengdu and happened to meet the ghost of Chen Yuanji from Zhuhai. Shao Taoist pitied him for being forced to death by the government's excessive taxes. He also believed that he was destined to be the first villager he met after becoming an immortal. , and said: "You died unjustly. I will give you 20 years of life. You can go back quickly." It was raining heavily at that time, and Shao lent him an umbrella. When Chen returned to Zhuhai, he came back to life and gave the umbrella to him. When I put it down at the edge of the village, the umbrella turned into this stone cliff. Tianbaozhai is about 1,500 meters long, about 20 meters high, and about 10 meters wide. Most of it is half a cave, and some are artificial caves. The cliffs above the cave are soaring, and the walls below the cave are cut by thousands of people. It is so steep and unreachable that it is an ancient example. The "Barbarian Army" stationed troops in the village, which zigzag along the mountain wall. There are 13 unique and sturdy gates inside. There are arrow holes on the door wall. Even if the enemy breaks into the hole, the gate can be fortified, step by step. Retreating is indeed very dangerous. In 1997, "Thirty-Six Strategies" was carved in the cave. Familiar battle examples were selected and carved into large paintings in bas-relief. Everyone can go in and visit. Colorful Waterfall Qinglong Lake Xijiashan Residential Houses

Going about 3 kilometers east from Tianbaozhai, you will arrive at Wanli Town in Jiang'an County. This is the tourist reception center of Zhuhai East Scenic Area in southern Shu. There are hotels such as Zhuhai Villa in the town.

Out of Wanli Town, a few hundred meters along the road, you will reach the "Colorful Waterfall" attraction. The water in the upper reaches has no way to go, so they have to jump off the high rock, forming a three-fold waterfall, 200 meters high, with extraordinary momentum and a sound that can be heard for miles. On such a cloudy and rainy day, the whole valley is shrouded in mist, sometimes thick and sometimes light, and the waterfall also disappears and appears, like a white dragon in the clouds, which is another interesting experience. Please pay attention. The so-called colorful waterfall refers to the middle waterfall of the three waterfalls. It is about 50 meters high and 4-5 meters wide. Because of its appropriate location, it is on the edge of Zhushan Mountain and the opposite side is empty. When the sun is strong, the water surface reflects the magnificent and dazzling colors. The colorful colors can float up and down with the sunlight. Sometimes the rainbow-like colors also extend to the upper section of the lower waterfall and the water curtain stirred up by the falling waterfall. The white water flow shakes the colorful light. This kind of moving The scenery is really better than the rainbow hanging in the sky!

Go east from the waterfall for 1.5 kilometers along the road, and you will see a large Dema Pinghu on the right. It was originally called Wanli Longtan. As the name suggests, it is the deepest place in Wanli Township.

Because the water quality is clear, the lake body is winding, and the head is big and the tail is small, it is now called Qinglong Lake. The lake covers about 2 square kilometers. Viewed from the shore, it is surrounded by green bamboos, green grass on the shore, picturesque reflections in the lake, and the same color of water and sky, which is really refreshing. For example, in the morning and dusk on a sunny day, the sun shines onto the lake from the east or west. The sparkling golden waves all over the lake reflect the slightly hazy bamboo bushes on the edge of the lake and the two jasper-like islands in the lake. , which makes people feel the infinite charm of nature. There are pleasure boats and bamboo rafts in the lake, making it a unique pleasure to cruise around the lake. If you are interested, you may wish to give it a try.

Please get on the bus and we will visit "Xijiashan Folk Residence" 20 kilometers away from here.

Xijiashan House is an ancient and beautiful manor from the Qing Dynasty. It was first built in the late Ming Dynasty and expanded during the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty. In the 19th year of the Republic of China, a new small garden, Yiyuan, was built, forming a large garden building that now covers an area of ??more than 10,000 square meters and has 108 houses. Surrounded by a lush Zhennan forest, the manor consists of two symmetrical "siheyuan", with the living room, main room, flower hall and embroidery building distributed in an orderly manner. The relief carvings of dragons, phoenixes, flowers and grass on the stone steps, railings and pillars in the building complex have exquisite knife skills, delicate carvings, wonderful patterns, natural shapes and are well preserved. The entire manor shows the level of folk architectural skills of the Qing Dynasty and has high ornamental value. The elegant and unique Yiyuan is a modern building with evergreen trees all year round, flowers that never fade, winding paths and floating shadows, making it a beautiful place. There are more than 60 acres of Zhennan woods behind the house. Every spring, thousands of egrets come to live here, adding color to the manor. In 1988, the Sichuan Provincial People's Government approved the establishment of the "Jiang'an County Xijia Mountain Folk Museum", with the manor as the site to facilitate the protection of the manor buildings and to use it to display folk cultural relics in southern Sichuan and introduce the customs and cultural life of Sichuan folk society. In 1996, Xijiashan Residential Houses were approved by the State Council as a national key cultural relics protection unit. The museum now has more than 1,000 cultural relics in its collection, including "Farming and Weaving Work", "Food Customs and Clothing", "Sacrificial Letters", "Wedding Customs", "Burial Customs", "Folk Crafts", "Folk Dances", "Drama" 》 and other special exhibitions, everyone is welcome to visit.

As we talked, we arrived at the Xijiashan residential area. Let’s get off the car and watch it together. The manor has dedicated commentators to introduce it to everyone.

Dear friends, today’s trip has come to an end. There are many scenic spots in Shunan Bamboo Sea, some of which are under planning and development, and some of which cannot be visited due to time constraints.

I think: leaving a little suspense is not a bad thing. Maybe this will attract everyone to come to Zhuhai again. Thank you everyone for your wonderful cooperation with me!
