Meixi Scenic Spot in Meizhou-High Hidden Cave

In Meizhou's cultural and educational history, knowing the state of Wang Zhi is a strong stroke, which has played an important role in the atmosphere of advocating literature and learning in Jiaying. Now the location of Messi Reservoir is Shangguantang, which is twenty or thirty kilometers away from the state capital, and it is very remote and desolate. However, during the Qianlong period, Wang Zhizheng, the ruler of Zhizhou, visited this place, visited the people's feelings and visited the scenery, and wrote the word "high hidden cave" and carved it on the stone wall. The cave park in Messi Reservoir was named here.

Dongtianhu Park is located by the lake of Messi Reservoir, and Pudu Temple is located at the gate of the park. The trees in the park are all primitive sub-forests, with towering trees and Gu Teng winding around them. Even in the hot summer, when you walk inside, the sun is blocked by the peaks and trees, and you can hardly get the sun, which is very shady. The simple cement trail rises and falls with the mountain zig zag, reaching into the deep valley. Walking on the path, birds chirped from time to time. A stream flows out of the valley. Unfortunately, there is too little rain and not much water this year. The deeper you go in, the more rocks there are, and the more stones there are. There is a waterfall in the depth, and the stream falls straight down from a cliff more than ten meters high. However, due to drought, the amount of water is small, which is not as spectacular as in previous years.

The park trail runs through dense forests, and the ground is covered with fallen leaves because it has not been cleaned for a long time. Originally, it was remote and inaccessible, lacking management, and it felt a little deserted. Perhaps, the reorganization of Messi Reservoir tourism can start with the upgrading of Dongtian Park.
