What are the interesting places in Shaxian County

Taojin Mountain

Taojin Mountain is located 3 kilometers west of Shaxian County, with an altitude of 51 meters and a total area of 6 square kilometers. The scenic spots began in the Song Dynasty and flourished in the Yuan and Ming Dynasties. Li Gang, the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, Luo Congyan, a Dali scientist, and Deng Maoqi, the leader of the peasant uprising army, all left footprints here, and there were more than 3 cliff carvings. The scenic spot is lush with trees, and it has the only rare tree species in China, such as wild Millennium Cycas, Song Guihua and plum hexagonal Dan. The ingot-light reclining Buddha, which is 38 meters long, 1 meters wide and 11 meters high in the scenic area, is the largest stone reclining Buddha in China at present. There is a large green reclining Buddha about 4 kilometers long in the mountain group behind the reclining Buddha, and the mountain and the Buddha are integrated, such as "Buddha in Buddha, Buddha in Buddha's heart". Pan Lequan, a famous monk in the Tang Dynasty, was enlightened by the spindle light Buddhist temple and Buddha light cave.

Shili advection

The famous scenic spots and historical sites in Shaxian County are the Eight Scenes of Shayang named by Li Gang, the famous Song Dynasty, namely, "Seven Peaks of Green", "Shili advection", "Yingzhou Sunset", "Yaochi jathyapple", "Pianjiao Autumn Smoke", "Dongtian Waterfall City" and "Lvfeng Qingxue". At present, there are only two scenes left, with ten miles of advection in the reach of Shaxi River from Dazhou to Langkou. Most of the beaches in the upper reaches of Shaxi River are full of rapids and twists and turns. At this point, the river is wide and the water is gentle, and you can only see green hills on both sides of the river or buildings on the river, with heavy shadows and swaying. Song Ligang's poem says: "You can see fish swimming in the green of Pingxi, but you can draw a picture in silence for ten miles".

Town God Temple

Town God Temple is located in Wenmiao Road, the east gate of Chengguan. It was built in the Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty and is the only well-preserved ancient architectural complex of its kind in Fujian Province. In 1996, it was listed as a national key cultural relics protection unit. [12]

Twenty-eight songs

That is, Sexual Tianfeng, which is located on the east side of Xianzhou in Erli, east of the city, with an altitude of more than 4 meters and a stone path of more than 7 meters up the mountain, turns 28 bends, so it is called "Twenty-eight songs", and the peak is old and ancient, and then abandoned. In 1984, the masses spontaneously raised more than 1, yuan to rebuild, and built pavilions on the top of the mountain and along the way, planting trees and flowers, forming a new scenic spot. In 1988, General members of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee Zhang Tingfa wrote an inscription for this scenic spot: "Fengjun Creek is Clear".

Chenshanzhai

Located on the gongs and cymbals hill in Daluo Township, it was the base camp of Deng Maoqi Rebel Army in the Ming Dynasty, with an altitude of about 1,5 meters. There is a racetrack and a training ground on the hill, and a huge stone-shaped platform on the right. It is said that it was the podium of that year. Standing on the training ground, the villages of Shaxian, Sanming and Datian can be seen vaguely, so it is also called "Sanwangping".

Dongtianyan

Dongtianyan is about 25 miles away from the city, with rugged stone walls and lush vegetation. You can reach Dongtianyan Reservoir surrounded by green hills by spiraling along the newly-opened highway. In the wet season, waterfalls fly down more than 1 meters, flying pearls and splashing jade, and thunder is born in the empty valley. Down the mountain spring, there are ancient Buddhas Yunyan, Linqingchi and Yonghe Cave, and there are more than ten ancient cliff stone carvings, one of which is not in the water, and the 9-meter-square Chinese characters are covered by the clear spring, and the water is rolled over, vaguely showing the word "pillow flow". Cliff stone carvings were listed as provincial-level cultural relics protection units in early August 1984. [12]

Qixian Cave

Qixian Cave is located in Guodun Village, Fukou Township. In August, 1985, the natural resources investigation team of Nanjing University cooperated with the Environmental Protection Office to inspect Qixian Cave, and initially found that Qixian Cave has seven large and small caves, which are divided into upper, middle and lower caves (that is, dark caves), and the upper and middle caves are connected, with seven holes. There are two halls in the cave, which can accommodate hundreds of tourists. There are curved corridors connecting the big factories. Stalactites and stalagmites in the cave have different shapes. Some of them are soaring like dragons, some are like horns, some are like fairy terraces, and some are like jellyfish drifting with the waves. There is a bat hall in the depths of the cave, and there are countless bats in it. In September 1984, the county people's government announced the first batch of key cultural relics protection units in the county, including Tang Dengguang Bu General Cemetery and Chen Shan Shangshu.

Xizhao in Yingzhou

Xianzhou outside the East Gate, also known as Yingzhou, is located at the junction of Dongxi and Shaxi. Whenever the sun sets, the green island is covered with Jin Hui, the river is as red as agate, the Gaocheng lies in the thin curtain of Alan Yu, and the clouds and snow change on the winding mountains, which can be described as resplendent and magnificent.

xingguo temple

xingguo temple was built in the second year of the Tang Dynasty (882), and it has been renovated in all dynasties. When Li Gang, a famous minister of the Song Dynasty, was exiled to Shaxian County, he lived here, calling himself "Yuxuan", so it was also called "the former site of Yuxuan". The existing temple covers an area of nearly 5 square meters. In 1984, its original appearance was renovated, with wooden beams, carved iron and gold, and flying rubber ridges, which was magnificent. There are two thousand-year-old Cinnamomum camphora on the west side, which is said to be Li Gang's reading room and was listed as a national key cultural relics protection unit in November 1996.

Lufeng Mountain Scenic Area

Lufeng Mountain is located at the top of gongs and cymbals in Baoshan Village, Daluo Township, Shaxian County, 4 kilometers away from the county seat, with an altitude of 1,293 meters. The transportation is convenient and the military highway goes directly to the top of the mountain. One of the famous eight scenic spots in Shayang, "Lv Feng Qing Xue", refers to the winter snow scene of Lv Feng Mountain. The mountain has a beautiful natural ecological environment, with wild azaleas, plum blossoms and bamboo forests, which is suitable for developing mountain four seasons gardens. The high altitude climate makes it particularly cool in summer, making it an excellent place for summer vacation. Cultural relics include Chenshanzhai site in Deng Maoqi peasant rebel base in Ming Dynasty, and the tablet pavilion of "Lv Feng Qing Xue". Shaxian Raptors Vegetable Base has set up camp here and begun to take shape. The development of this base will promote the vigorous development of alpine green agricultural sightseeing and ecological summer tourism.
