The Landscape of Wanquan Lake

Xiandong

Once upon a time, a brother and a brother boasted that they could walk on clouds, but the brother certainly didn't believe them. The younger brother took his older brother to a cave on the south bank. My brother stood near the mouth of the cave, and in a short time he was more than three feet off the ground, and after a while he slowly fell back to the ground; My brother was frightened. Afterwards, the senior brother told the master about this strange thing, and the master didn't believe what the apprentice said. After observation, I know that there is a python in this cave, which has been refined quickly. When it exhales, people standing at the mouth of the cave will walk around, and when it breathes, people at the mouth of the cave will slowly retreat. The master said to his disciples, fortunately, the python has not been refined, otherwise your's life would be in danger. A few years later, the python became immortal, so this place became the place where the masters practiced, and it was also called the "fairy cave" by later generations.

Tianxian bridge

The bridge deck is higher than the water surface 10 meter, and the water depth under the bridge is more than 20 meters. When people cross the bridge, the bridge will vibrate. When they stand in the bridge, their bodies sway and their legs become stiff. The bridge will sway in mid-air, making them feel like walking in the clouds. When the weather is clear, you can see the blue sky, white clouds and green hills from the bridge, and the green trees reflect the lake, like entering a fairyland. After that, the local people have convenient transportation.

Jinju island

After crossing the Tianxian Bridge, it winds northward along the lakeside path, and there is an island with a middle stream. There is a vertical stone more than five feet high on the island, which is located on a flat stone platform with a small bowl-shaped pit next to it. This pit is the golden pool. It is said that the golden pool is as big as a small wine glass and can sink gold in rainy season. Later, because of greed, a monk named Zhiyun in Shimen Temple chiseled the golden pool.

Boarding this island to see Wanquan Lake, the blue waves are rippling, the willows are swaying, the cypresses are shaded, couples, relatives and friends sit next to each other by the lake, or walk slowly along the path around the lake, or boating in the water, or boating on the lake, singing and dancing in the morning, the villagers hoe the fields, and in the evening, the people rest by the lake, washing clothes and washing yarn, which is a happy scene for the world.

Mu Jingchun

On the cliff next to Xiandong, there is a Toona sinensis tree sticking out from the gap in the cliff. Its trunk is like a dragon sting and its branches are sparse. It has a long history of cold and summer, and its branches are flourishing. Therefore, people admire the beauty of Wanquan and are determined to take root in the Cliff Grottoes, named Mu Jingchun.

Zhong Bai Yang Chun

There are many cypress trees growing on the thin soil and thick stone at the foot of Mu Jingchun. These cypresses grow naturally, not artificially. They were moved by Mu Jingchun's spirit, and their pens stood upright and grew around Mu Jingchun, like many soldiers holding their hands to protect cypress trees. People call these cypresses pine and cypress, also called pine and cypress protection.

Two dragons wading through water

About 100 meters after crossing the fairy cave, Er Quan gushed out water, which looked like a dragon playing in the water, hence the name Erlong playing in the water.

Spring gushes all the year round. According to the old man here, the spring water has never stopped. According to the calculation, the flow of this spring is about 1m? /sec, known as "the first spring in Zhongzhou".

The water plants here are evergreen all year round. The colder the weather, the greener the grass. Especially when the mountains are covered with snow in winter, this spring is steaming, like a green gem embedded in white jade, which is very popular with tourists.

Qiaoshang bridge

The upper bridge on the bridge is an underwater two-story stone arch bridge, and the lower arch bridge is built in 1958, which is the throat of Qi Lin leading to Shimensi village. 1977, Hekou power station was built in this area, which cut off the water source and formed a lake. The arch bridge was flooded by the lake, and people built another stone arch bridge on this bridge.

The bridge is anchored at the corner of Wanquan Lake. In spring and autumn, it's calm, birds are singing and flowers are fragrant, and fish are in the lower reaches of the bridge. The environment is elegant, surrounded by mountains, around the lake, making friends, picking chrysanthemums at the foot of the southern slope and singing at the height of the hillside, which is refreshing.

Hongquan

On the bridge, under the bridge, there is a clear spring named Hongquan, which flows out of it. The color of the spring water is different from that of the surrounding lake, and it is slightly dark red, so it has become a great spectacle here. This spring is named after the legendary python was slaughtered here and dyed with spring water. On both sides of the lower reaches of the spring, the slopes are low, the lake is calm, and the blue waves ripple in summer and autumn, making it a good place to swim.

Siquan

There is a spring in front of Shimen ancient temple, which runs all year round. The water flow is small in rainy season and small in dry season. Therefore, before the spring water flows through the Shimen ancient temple, it goes around the temple from west to east. Like the Hu Si River, the water flow lasts for a long time, hence the name.

Jinniuquan

Northbound along the road, under the shade of Shimen ancient temple, there is a mountain spring, and the surrounding rocks are very similar to cow heads. Spring water gushes from the cow's mouth, and people call it Jinniu Spring.

According to legend, when Zhu Yuanzhang was herding cattle in his village, he often did not have enough to eat. In the evening, he and his partner killed the owner's cow. He put the cow's tail in the soil and told his master that the cow had got into the ground, dragging its tail with his hand. The cow also gave a "moo-"cry, so the owner had to admit that it was unlucky. When Zhu Yuanzhang was talking with his boss about it, he suddenly found that the cow's head had not been thrown away, so he quickly picked it up and threw it away with his boss. I didn't expect Zhu Yuanzhang to be the real dragon emperor. He immediately threw the cow head here. The cow's head fell to the ground and turned into a stone, but gurgling spring water flowed out of its mouth.

Jieyuquan

This spring is named after the fish that comes out of the spring in March and April every year. People come here to get fish. This spring is divided into an upper spring eye and a lower spring eye, and the lower spring eye is now submerged by the lake. According to people here, before and after Tomb-Sweeping Day, you can get nearly 100 Jin of fish from here every day. Once upon a time, every time there was a famine, the fish in this spring water became the food that people here relied on to satisfy their hunger, and it was called life-saving fish. However, the fish gushed from this spring water was not the crucian carp in the two rivers, and it was called a wonder in Wanquan Lake Scenic Area.

Xiangquan

In Wanquan Lake Scenic Area, there is a strange mountain spring. First of all, the spring tinkled through. Second, if you put your ear against the rock by the spring, you can hear the sound of the spring, sometimes loud and passionate, sometimes light and slow, and the rhythm seems to be playing a famous song. Therefore, people call it Xiangquan.

Huanshaquan

In the crevice of the cave on the west side of Wanquan Lake Lake Dam, a spring water flows all the year round, and the water quality is clear and moist in winter, which is the Huansha Spring. If you use this spring to pick up the washed clothes, the clothes will not fade, but will stay fragrant for a long time. So the surrounding villagers like to come here to wash clothes and yarns, every day all year round.

Chishuiquan

Turning from Huansha Spring to Shankou, you can see a gurgling spring flowing out of a square hole made of stone. Square stones are very old, smooth and round, and have no edges and corners. Villagers often put buckets at the outlet of water and drink clear and sweet spring water, hence the name.

Divine turtle exploring water

From Shimen Temple to the hillside, from the top of the mountain, the mountain looks like a giant turtle. This mountain is a turtle body, and four ridges extend around it, just like a four-legged turtle. The glans penis is in front of Shimen ancient temple, as if exploring water.

It is said that the tortoise has a golden incense burner in its mouth. If the tortoise can immerse its head in the water of Wanquan for seven days and seven nights, the mountain will become a golden turtle. A Jiangnan man came here to explore the treasure. When he found the golden incense burner hidden in the tortoise's mouth, he took it away by magic, so that the tortoise would never become a golden turtle again.
