What are the four famous mountains in Guangdong Province?

Luofu Mountain, also known as Dongqiao Mountain, is one of the top ten famous mountains in China. As early as the Han Dynasty, Luofu Mountain has been listed as the first of the top ten famous mountains after the Five Mountains, and it is also a famous Taoist mountain in China. Taoism calls it the seventh hole and the thirty-second blessed land. It is also one of the four famous mountains in Guangdong Province, and is known as "the ancestor of Baiyue" and "the first mountain in Lingnan". Luofu Mountain is located more than 45 kilometers northwest of Huizhou, 90 kilometers away from Guangzhou. Guangshan Highway runs through the territory, spanning Boluo, Longmen and Zengcheng counties, with a total length of 500 miles and an altitude of 1000 meters. The streams are deep, the smoke cages are locked, and the mountains are magnificent and strange.

The formation of Luofu Mountain began in Mesozoic Cretaceous. It is a combination of Luoshan and Fushan. About 80 million years ago, the crust in this area broke and the huge granite rock mass was squeezed and uplifted. After tens of millions of years of wind and rain erosion, Luofu Mountain with abrupt peaks has gradually formed. "The History of the Later Han Dynasty County Records" records: "Boluo has Luoshan, which was named Luofu because it came out of Fushan." Therefore, there is a folk legend that Fushan crossed the sea to marry Luoshan. There is a poem that says, "Fushan came across the sea from the East, and you don't need a medium to marry Luoshan. The combination is really like a husband and wife, and the children are all small Penglai. "

There are 432 peaks such as Tieqiao, Jade Girl and Camel in Luofu Mountain, more than 980 famous springs and waterfalls such as Baishili and Huanglong Cave, 72 dark rocks such as Tian Tong and Luohan, and caves and wonders such as Zhu Ming and Penglai 18.

Strange peaks and rocks, waterfalls, famous springs and famous caves are the three characteristics of Luofu Mountain.

Xi in southern Guangdong

There is a saying that "if you don't go to Xiqiao Mountain, it's not Lingnan". Xiqiao Mountain is located in the southwest of Nanhai City, Guangdong Province. It is a national scenic spot and a national forest park.

Xiqiao Mountain is an extinct volcano that has been silent for hundreds of millions of years, with beautiful natural scenery. There are 72 strange peaks and 42 strange caves on the mountain, and various lakes, waterfalls and deep pools are dotted on the mountain. Not only that, Xiqiao Mountain is called "solid reservoir" because of its dense forest and rich water resources.

Xiqiao Mountain, as the "beacon of Pearl River civilization", has a civilization history of more than 6,000 years, and the diligent and intelligent Xiqiao Mountain people have created a splendid "stone shoulder" civilization. By the Ming and Qing Dynasties, a large number of literati lived in seclusion here, making Xiqiao Mountain a "famous neo-Confucianism mountain in South Guangdong". Xiqiao Mountain is also the birthplace of Nanquan Culture, where a generation of master Huang Feihong was born. Xiqiao Mountain is simple in folk customs and full of ancient charm. Traveling here, while absorbing the aura of mountains and rivers, you can also appreciate the marriage, production customs and various folk entertainment activities of mountain people.

Dinghushan in western Guangdong

Dinghushan, located in the northeast suburb of Zhaoqing City, Guangdong Province, is a famous Buddhist mountain and tourist attraction in Lingnan. 1980 officially joined the world nature reserve network, and at the same time became the United Nations "Man and Biosphere" ecosystem positioning research station. As a result, Dinghushan has become an international academic exchange base and tourist attraction with dual identities, enjoying a good reputation at home and abroad. This is rare in the world.

Geographically, Dinghushan is located at east longitude112 "34' and north latitude 23"10', just south of the Tropic of Cancer. If you look at the world vegetation distribution map, you can find that the whole tropical region is almost entirely desert or grassland, such as the famous Sahara desert in North Africa, Libyan desert, Arabian desert and deserts in Iran, Pakistan and Mexico, so the tropical region is called "tropical desert belt". This is because these areas are mostly located in the mainland or the west coast of the mainland, suffering from direct sunlight, and the subtropical high controls the sky, making the atmosphere stable; The dry northeast trade wind from the mainland is often blown all the year round, so these areas have little rainfall and become the largest desert belt in the world. Dinghushan, on the other hand, occupies a different geographical position: it is located in the southeast of the mainland, bordering on the Pacific Ocean, with high barriers erected on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Himalayas. The humid southeast monsoon blowing from the ocean has brought abundant rain to this area and got rid of the influence of returning to the dry zone. Therefore, all kinds of plants compete to grow, making it a dense evergreen forest, known as the "oasis in the northern desert belt."

The first stop into Dinghushan is Han Cuiqiao. As soon as I crossed the bridge, I felt that the heat suddenly disappeared and my spirit was refreshed. The air is fresh and humid. The leaves of trees will secrete water droplets, forming a spectacle of no rain outside the forest and light rain in the forest. Make a dripping sound from time to time. No wonder it is known as the "tropical rain forest". In the sea of flora, of course, the first thing that attracts people's attention is the tall trees, of which Castanea henryi is the largest. Some are more than 50 meters high, and it is difficult to see the top of the tree on the back. The tree diameter is so big that more than a dozen people can't hold hands together. There is also a national first-class protected tree species-Gemu, which is so strong that even nails cannot be nailed in, so it is also called Tiemu. There is also a "sightseeing tree" named after Zhong Guangguan, a famous botanist in China who first collected specimens. The ancestor of litchi-wild litchi, with numerous fruits and bright red; Palm plants have the tallest anemone, beautiful large pinnate compound leaves, floating in the wind, and a small yellow or red fruit ball hanging on the top leaves. Plants unique to tropical rain forests, such as stem flowers, epiphytes and lianas, can be seen everywhere here. Lianas have special phototaxis, the trunk can be extended for a long time, other objects can be entangled by thorns or suckers and tendrils on branches and leaves, and they can climb freely in the forest. There are also "living fossils" of plants as old as the dinosaur era-cycads, ginkgo, tamarisk and so on. According to scientists' research, the geology here belongs to the ancient land, but it was less affected when the B Movement destroyed thousands of biological species, so many ancient plants survived, so it was called "living natural museum" and "natural biological laboratory", and this is the scientific value of Dinghushan.

Danxia mountain in northern Guangdong

Danxia Mountain is located 54 kilometers northeast of Shaoguan City and 9 kilometers away from Renhua County. Mount Danxia is 408 meters above sea level, which is not high, but its cliff looks like a red cloud from a distance, but the color is blue from a close look. Many cliffs point to the blue sky like knives and axes, and countless strange rocks and beautiful caves are hidden in the mountains. The scenery is quite beautiful. Therefore, someone once said that "Guilin's landscape is the best in the world, not as good as Danxia in Guangdong". The rocks in Danxia Mountain contain calcium, iron hydroxide and a small amount of gypsum, all of which are red, representing sandstone landforms. Geologically, it is called "Danxia landform".

Carved on the stone wall are four vigorous and powerful characters, which add to the dangers here and make people shudder. However, this steep Dante chain is supported by a solid iron fence, which is very safe. The lower scenic spots mainly include Jinyong Cave and Tiansheng Scenic Area. In natural caves, there are Guanyin Hall and Daxiong Hall. You can also see the wind such as Mawei Spring and Carp yue longmen in the cave. Here is a famous "Long Lin Stone", which changes color with the seasons. It is more exciting to drill tunnels and cross stone crevices in low-lying scenic spots.
