Tourist attractions in Zouma Town

Sanchaoshui is located to the west of Zouma Town, more than 10 kilometers away from Zouma Town. It enters a low valley along the winding mountain road and reaches Jiangping River. Here, there is the largest single-hole highway stone arch bridge in Hubei that was "raised in a boudoir and unknown to people". This bridge was built in 1989, with a single-hole clear span of 106 meters, like a rainbow, connecting the mountains on both sides.

There is a mountain spring on the cliff on the east bank of the bridge, called "Three Chaos Water". Related records were found in "Hefeng County Chronicles": "Shentanping (today's Jiangping River in Hefeng County) Rock The flow is as thin as the eaves, and the water is as big as a basin at three o'clock every day, noon, and Xu. tide. During the morning tide, a large amount of water suddenly rushes out from the cave on the mountainside, like a gate opening, forming a waterfall that flies down, which is very spectacular. During the noon tide, huge waves surge out of the sky and cascade down like deafening thunderbolts. This place is known as the "Little Three Gorges". When the tide ebbs, there is a trickle. Legend has it that the Dragon King is causing trouble. On both sides are vast green woods, as well as graceful stone forests, appearing like bamboo shoots. It is said that it was once a natural timetable for the ancients. People determined the farming time based on the rise and fall of the three tides. As early as the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties, Daya Pass was the southeastern gateway of the Rongmei Tusi Dynasty. The local folk song "Daya Pass appears in the sky, only three feet and three feet from the sky. When people pass by, you have to lower your head, and when horses move, you have to lower your saddle." It perfectly describes the unique wonder of Daya Pass. Daya Pass is a natural danger. The Wuling Mountains stretch throughout the territory, accompanied by the Seven Sisters Mountain on the left and the patron saint General Rock in front. It is majestic, steep and magnificent. As far as the eye can see, there are thousands of hectares of fertile fields, mighty rivers, endless forests and winding roads. The height of Dayaguan makes people feel like they are climbing to the sky and looking down on the earth. Perhaps the poems of a poet from the Qing Dynasty can better explain the beautiful scenery of Daya Pass: "The broken rain rushes up to the green peaks, and the flags are gone without a trace; the mountains look down like ants, and a single pillar is as delicate as a dragon; the giant axe The sky is divided into half, and there are thousands of peaks blocked by mud; Rong Yang believes that this is the place where the emperor is fleeing, who knows how to follow Liao Lang; the Chu sky is full of rugged terrain, and the road here is always rough; who can answer people's words for a long time? , Peng Bo Jiu Ren was also surprised and doubtful; Xiong Duo may not know when King Yu came to control the water; Jingzhao Tianlang Neng started to build it, and he built Yaqi on the pile of clear water."

For thousands of years, great efforts have been made. Yaguan has experienced countless winds, rains, lightning strikes, and is still proudly independent. It carries the rich historical and cultural heritage of the Miao people. Although it does not have the charm of the snowy peaks, it is no less scenic than the three most famous passes in China. In addition to serving politics, military, and economy, Dayaguan's historical achievements also set up a stage for the literati and poets in history to develop poetry, and provided a platform for the young people inside and outside the pass to cultivate their sentiments, exercise their bodies, and sharpen their will. In the past, it was a road for mules and horses, but today it has become a desert, in disrepair and inaccessible. What it leaves behind are the traces of time and the wrinkles of the annual rings, but it has the significance of the times.
