Travel Notes

Under the guidance of the tour guide, we visited the Lotus Soup of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, the Begonia Soup of the Imperial Concubine, and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. The Xingchen Soup, Prince Soup, and Shangshi Soup are all small pools of different shapes made of stones. They look old and mottled under the dim light in the house. It is difficult to imagine the luxurious scene of a generation of emperors and concubines bathing in those days. But this is the Yutang ruins of the Tang Dynasty, a museum of ancient hot spring culture. Now we can only understand the love and devotion of emperors to the palace hot springs from the beautiful names of the Yutang pools. When we walked out of the Yutang ruins, we saw a hot spring. The small pavilion shaded by green trees stands tall, with a lush ivy climbing on its small body. Legend has it that this was a hair-drying pavilion for Concubine Yang to blow her hair after bathing. Just imagine that plump woman with unparalleled beauty, her hair standing tall in the wind. Like a waterfall, she floats like a fairy descending from the earth. The beauty who has "three thousand loves in one body" is so charming and gentle because of her love. Looking further east, you can see a quiet and elegant ring garden. The crescent-shaped small pool is in the middle of summer. It is green and reflects the sky, which is pleasing to the eye. The graceful weeping willows surrounding the lake are swaying and scattered. The five halls in the garden were Chiang Kai-shek's living room back then. The original appearance of the place is still intact. Walking along the winding path, we went to find Chiang Kai-shek's hiding place during the "Xi'an Incident". The weather was hot and everyone was sweating profusely, including my daughter and the girl from my colleague's house. I was full of interest and climbed all the way to the "Bingjian Pavilion" halfway up Lishan Mountain. However, I saw an iron cable winding up the rock cliff where Chiang Kai-shek hid. Many tourists climbed up the cable and took pictures in front of the cave. Looking up, the narrow mountain crevice that only allows one person to climb, and the deep gun holes in the rocks in the mountain crevice all bear witness to the embarrassing moments in the lives of a generation of heroes.

I think: History will remember that in any dynasty, rulers who go against the will of the people will surely perish, as did King Zhou You, and so did Li Longji. Fortunately, Chiang Kai-shek finally complied with the people's will and left a colorful legacy during the eight-year war of resistance. Pen. After the visit, we returned along the original route and queued up to wash our hands at a water platform designed for tourists to experience Lishan Hot Spring. It is said that Lishan Hot Spring has a constant temperature of 43 degrees Celsius all year round. The water is rich in various trace elements and is known as " The best spring in the world." We washed ourselves with the hot spring water with a pious attitude, and really felt the feeling of "the hot spring water washes away the fat".

Find a stone to rely on and meditate. The spring is still warm and the water is slippery. I wonder where the beauty's soul died? The lotus flowers are still there today, and the old mountain alliance is hard to find? "The fishing sun stirred the earth and shocked the colorful clothes and feathers." Although you are a king, how can you not help the six armies? Hair, beauties have bad luck. "The blue sky above falls and the yellow spring falls, and neither place can be seen." A generation of emperors who once made decisive killings spent the rest of their lives sitting in luxurious and empty palaces, listening to the sad sound of flutes, and the colorful clothes and feather dances of the past can no longer be found, just like this slowly Go to death in lonely longing. Looking back at Lishan Mountain, the vegetation is still lush and green, and the scenery is beautiful; the mist is lingering, and the scenery is full of poetry. The plants, trees, bricks and tiles are all telling stories of historical events and eternal romance.
