The main attractions of Wangshou Mountain

From Zhelin Village, Hongshan Township, Yongding County to Wangshou Mountain, there has been a rugged narrow path since ancient times. A year ago, the local government invested hundreds of thousands of yuan to organize local villagers to work. On the basis of this ancient road, it was transformed and expanded into a five-or six-kilometer-long hiking trail, which greatly eased the hardships of tourists climbing mountains and mountains. From halfway up the mountain to the chessboard stone scenic spot on the top of the mountain, along the roadside or through the dense forest, you can see Mishi, Gongyan, Xianren Bridge, Tianlufeng and Yangzhibi. This rock is steep and towering, and it rises into the sky like a copper incense burner when it meets clouds. From the side, it looks like a giant pen dipped in ink, called "Yang holds the pen"), a hat, a pair of flying turtles, mantis climbing the wall, lying in Foshan, Gangjiahu, chessboard stone, immortal footprints, three generals stone, rock and many other rocks or peaks, all of which are lifelike and breathtaking. Some scenic spots are also accompanied by interesting folk stories.

The magnificent chessboard stone on the top of the mountain is named after the chessboard carved on the boulder. There is a folklore on the chessboard stone that the Eight Immortals often swim to Wangshou Mountain. Once, Tie Guai Li and Lv Dongbin played chess on a chessboard stone. Tie Guai Li lost this game of chess, and in a rage, he split the boulder beside him in half with his cane, which still stands at the top.

On the lower left side of the chessboard stone, there are several strange stones that look like mantis and climb to the top of the mountain persistently. This is one of the attractions of Wang Shoushan's "praying mantis climbing the wall". There are also the Buddha offering in Xiantao, the thousand-year-old tortoise, the toad coming out of the hole, the candles flying all over the sky and so on, which are lifelike. In the lush forest, they constitute a strange and natural scenery, which is amazing. Looking up from the chessboard stone, Qiandao Lake in Yongding County is blue and blue, like a huge emerald embedded in the mountains, which is in harmony with Wangshou Mountain. The lakes and mountains are beautiful.

Wang Shoushan not only has a unique natural endowment, but also has a heavy humanistic and historical color. Wangshou Mountain is a temple with a history of 2,000 years. One is the ancient temple, and the other is the Huaguang Temple. Built in the Yongzheng period of the Tang Dynasty, the monk Wang Qi once practiced here. Another temple called Xin 'an, called Xiangguang Temple, was built in the Song Dynasty. There is a prince's cave in the mountain. Legend has it that at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen Li Er and Prince Zhu Ciliang sneaked into the cave to live. Later, due to the growing influence of the Qing Dynasty, he had to take the Prince to Lingguang Temple for a haircut and become a monk. The magnificent scenery of Wang Shoushan attracted many literati to visit, such as Cai, an anti-Yuan hero, and Qiu, an anti-Japanese hero of Baotai. They all climbed the mountain and left their poems and calligraphy behind. Wang Shoushan, which stretches for more than 20 kilometers, can be seen everywhere that Gu Teng climbs in various ways; You can hear the gurgling sound of the clear spring in the mountain stream, accompanied by birds and insects. Ancient trees, exotic trees, mountain flowers and fragrant grass are dotted with ancient roads, which makes people linger.

Halfway, we arrived at a canyon mouth, where an ancient road sign was erected. The inscription reads clearly: "cross the river to the right and shed yellow sand, go straight down to Hongshanwei, and look at Shoushan from the left." A provincial boundary stone tablet stands beside the road sign. On both sides of the thick granite, Fujian, Guangdong, 15, the State Council and 1997 are engraved, which is particularly eye-catching. This is the Fujian-Guangdong watershed on Wangshou Mountain.

Walk a few hundred meters along Li Lu, then turn a corner, and a thousand-year-old temple-Xiangguang Temple, hidden in the deep mountains, appears in front of you for tourists to have a rest or board the ship. It is reported that this temple had more than 200 monks and nuns in its heyday. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, patriotic poets and anti-Japanese defenders visited Wang Shoushan Temple when they returned to Shanghang County in western Fujian in autumn. He wanted to camp in a selected place and revive the great cause of returning to Taiwan, but it backfired and his ambition was not rewarded. Leaving only the handwritten couplets when visiting Xiangguang Temple:

"This mountain is self-contained at the turn of Fujian and Guangdong. Ren's stove is cold, the rocks are cold, and the peaks are still arched. Look at the empty flowers in the remnant world, violets with ten thousand handles, and the nine-pin table is high.

My Buddha regards compassion as his philosophy, so why cherish Jin Liang! Fortunately, Zhu Xi was left behind and Nan Zong lived there. It is easy to keep the original at the end of the robbery. Leave a hero to regress, a Huang Yexiaosheng, and a sansheng stone to prove Zen. "

In 1930s, the revolutionary kindling left by the Red Army's Long March grew into a guerrilla under the leadership of General Liu Yongsheng, active in the Fujian-Guangdong border region. It takes Xiangguang Temple in Wangshou Mountain as the contact center to publicize the revolutionary truth and develop the armed forces. During the war years, Xiangguang Temple was destroyed by soldiers, and it has been restored since1980s. At present, an old Nishi Pu Jun adopted three girls to study culture and Buddhism in the temple.

A few years ago, Mianhuatan Hydropower Station on the border of Fujian and Guangdong with an installed capacity of 600,000 kilowatts was completed for power generation. The Tingjiang River in the reservoir area above the dam has formed 64 square kilometers of Shuanglong Lake, which has become a major landscape at the foot of Wangshou Mountain.
