Travels of Xiqiao Mountain

Taking advantage of this good time and sunny weather, with a pleasant mood, my partner and I started a trip to Xiqiao Mountain.

Along the navigation route, we have the correct guidance. After several waits, we got on the train to Xiqiao Mountain. Although the journey is far away, the mood of playing is naturally pleasant, and the sunny mood also has a long-awaited desire for the place to play. It's not a problem that the road is very long. Naturally, I feel that I am willing to swim back for her even if the road is very blocked.

Arriving at the mountaineering avenue, we saw the figure of Xiqiao Mountain in the distance, hidden by towering trees, like a veiled woman, shyly half hidden. Along the spacious mountaineering avenue, the weather is particularly sunny, the sunshine is also very lively, the old trees are lush, the streets are hung with red lanterns, and the breeze is blowing gently. Naturally, we can feel that the scenery here is really charming, the environment is very quiet, the life is very rich, and it feels like a paradise. After a walk, we finally came to the gate of Xiqiao Mountain, bought tickets and went into the mountain to play.

Xiqiao Mountain has a long history and a long culture. It is an extinct volcano with a history of 450 million years. It is the largest stone factory in prehistoric times in southern China, forming a unique Xiqiao Mountain culture and creating the Pearl River civilization. The mountain is 346 meters above sea level, steep and flat outside the mountain, like lotus petals, with a diameter of 4 kilometers, a circumference of about 13 kilometers and an area of 14 square kilometers. There are 72 peaks, of which Dake Peak (344 meters above sea level) is the highest, and the peaks are staggered in order. Jiulong Rock, mushroom stone and rock have different peak shapes. The biggest feature of Xiqiao Mountain is that there are lakes and mountains in the mountain, water in the mountain and water in the mountain. There are 16 caves, 232 springs and 28 waterfalls in the whole mountain, among which "Flying to thousands of feet" and "Yunyan Waterfall" are the most spectacular. It is a good place to watch the sea of clouds, sunrise and summer vacation, and also a good place for geological investigation. For such an excellent ancient rhyme holy land, you must come here for a visit, and you will certainly gain a lot.

When we enter the mountain road, we can see the beautiful forests and valleys of Xiqiao Mountain. The mountain road is tortuous and seems to have the shape of nine bends and eighteen bends. The endless mountain road will make the newly arrived tourists get lost. Walking in the mountains, you can also see the tourists who are playing along the way in high spirits, beaming and intoxicated in this high mountain and flowing water. Nature is a pure land with elegant and beautiful environment, quiet and exquisite, and it should be a paradise that many people yearn for. There are mountains and trees, and you can feel the hanging spring waterfall in the distance. Springs sound like a harp, waterfalls sound like a tide, pines sound like a rhyme, birds sound like rain, as if they had entered a fairyland on earth. The clouds are light and the wind is light, the flowers are overflowing, the bamboos are swaying, the pavilions are hidden among the pines and cypresses, and the love for mountains and rivers in my heart is even stronger.

Following the instructions of the road sign, we went to the Jasper Cave, took some photos, left records and visited the park. Beautiful and cloudy, the mountains are extremely steep, and there are many strange peaks and rocks in the valley. At this time, white petals were scattered all over the floor, and the air was filled with faint fragrance. When you walk across the winding stone bridge, you can see brocade scales swimming in the water. The landscape of Jasper Cave is also strange, like a treasure house of nature, attracting countless tourists. The most profound thing here is that in Jasper Cave, walking along another mountain pass, we can see that this is a red historical and cultural corridor, and we will go straight along the stairs. When the red revolutionary cultural icon comes into view, we will stop and learn about the historical deeds of Xiqiao Mountain during the Anti-Japanese War. Xiqiao Mountain has also nurtured countless people with lofty ideals and revolutionary martyrs, witnessed the ebb and flow of the times, bathed in bullets, and this hot land is also full of revolutionary blood. During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, it was also mercilessly strafed and bombed by Japanese artillery, and many villagers were poisoned. But the revolutionary martyrs who saved the country and the people fought to the death here and gave their young lives. In the red corridor, it is also recorded that Mr. Guo Moruo was invited to give a speech on "Winning the War of Resistance Against Japan", which inspired the people of Xiqiao to resist Japan and injected impetus into the revolution. Along the way, we saw that the record of every revolutionary martyr on the red background wall was very clear, and the heroic spirit made us feel warm, great and noble between the lines; The face of every revolutionary hero is still vivid, full of spirit, and the heroic spirit of youth is always fixed at that moment. At the end of the corridor, there is a small garden. The red cultural wall is engraved with the scene held in the early stage of the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and the next plate is engraved with the oath of joining the party. Don't forget your initiative, remember your mission and other contents, and then look at the farthest. It can be found that there is a huge stone tablet engraved with "Monument to Anti-Japanese Soldiers and Victims in Xiqiao Mountain, Nanhai County", and there are bouquets under the stone tablet as a memorial to the martyrs. Revolutionary soldiers who risked their lives to forget their lives gave their precious lives to protect their country and defend their country. They will eventually be remembered by history and people, and the spirit of red culture will be passed down through visits and studies from generation to generation.

Out of the Jasper Cave, we moved on under the guidance of road signs.

Along the steep winding mountain road, we came to the 100-step ladder and climbed the mountain step by step. There are dense trees and green leaves like clouds on both sides of the mountain road. Under the sunshine, green is flowing into a river, and the air is unusually fresh, which makes us feel particularly comfortable and carefree. Hundred-step stairs are made of all kinds of long stones, and ancient stones must also contain the mystery of the times. Pines and cypresses are shaded by trees. When climbing stairs, you can also feel the elegance and tranquility of "my road twists and turns, through a sheltered valley, branches and flowers, to a Buddhist retreat". Walking on the mountain road, the circle twists and turns, and you can't see the direction of departure. We boarded the pavilion halfway up the mountain again, providing tourists with the convenience of rest and shelter from the rain. About Banshan Pavilion, the past life of this pavilion is described. During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, people moved to Xiqiao Mountain from all over the country, but it was a long way to and from the market, so people chose to plant pine trees and build bluestones in a moderate place as the first place to rest and shelter from the wind and rain. Later built, like now, the pavilion is still preserved as a scenic spot here, and relevant information records are also engraved on the stone wall, so that we can clearly understand its relevant history. After a short rest on the pavilion, we continued on our way and continued to play.

Xiqiao Mountain is a gift from nature to Lingnan, a native land, where precious natural resources are treasured, a living treasure house and a natural oxygen bar. On the road and along the mountain road, we can also find many Chinese herbal medicines, such as plantain, honeysuckle, motherwort and selfheal, which are rare and precious. Also known as the "southern drug storehouse", we can see the rich medicinal resources here. Chinese herbal medicine culture is one of the treasures of Chinese culture, which nourishes hundreds of generations, helps the world and saves people, and continues to this day.

The farther you go into the mountains, the more secluded you feel, just like walking into the virgin forest. When you walk alone, you will feel an inexplicable cold. Not far away, you can see the huge Guanyin stone statue hidden in the jungle, which is clear and natural against the white clouds and blue sky. Crossing the overpass and stone steps, we came to Baofeng Temple. The temple is located halfway up the mountain, like an old man living in seclusion in the mountains, meditating and realizing the Tao. On this day, although the weather is hot, it is inevitable to sweat, but there are still many tourists visiting here. With sincere faith, good men and women lit incense sticks in front of the temple, bowed down devoutly, and made a wish for blessings. We visited temples all over the country, including the king's temple, Drum Tower, Bell Tower and Bodhisattva Hall. The stone statues of the four great kings stand on both sides of the king's temple and look lifelike. In addition, there are statues of Sakyamuni Buddha, Guanyin and Wei Tuo. Religious culture has a strong color, and the breath of religious culture overflows everywhere. Pavilions and pavilions all show the unique style and exquisite skills of architects. Carved columns with blue bricks and green tiles are all buildings.

Finally, we successfully climbed to the top of the mountain and came to the high archway, which was closer to the Guanyin statue. The towering archway gate, with the stone statues of the four heavenly kings neatly arranged at the gate, is filled with a stone lion playing with hydrangea, which is majestic, lively and aura, and looks lifelike. Other stones are carved with images of Kirin and Guanyin, all kinds of patterns, and the sculptor's skill is a must, which makes such a huge stone gate stand like a giant and full of charm. This is very similar to the mythical bad door. If there are clouds and smoke around, it must be as spectacular as the fairy world. Looking down the mountain, I feel my vision is getting wider and wider. "Once I climb to the top of the mountain, you will see that other mountains are short under the sky." . I can see buildings, lakes and green trees at the foot of the mountain. Looking around, I feel that everything is very small. When I climbed to the top of the mountain, I found that I saw more scenery and felt more pleasant to see things.

Walking up the stairs, we came to the huge Guanyin statue. Such a huge building is also amazing and surprising. Probably in the myth and legend of Xiqiao Mountain, Guanyin is the local patron saint of local residents, and also left a legend in the local area. Overlooking the Daxian Peak here, it is completely in line with the best time of "Zuo Qinglong Yan, right white tiger training, back to the sky, before the Suzaku dance"; Looking up to the law is like a grain of sand under its shelter, making it look small. The methods are sitting posture, crown of orb on the head, round eyebrows and lips bent, eyes like a double star, slightly bent, wearing clothes, hanging wreaths and ornaments, wearing skirts, sitting firmly on the lotus platform, having a good eye, seeing all beings widely, showing serenity and dignity, and giving this side a quiet, harmonious and beautiful pure land. It's like a tireless guardian. Political integrity and harmony, Socialism with Chinese characteristics's religious culture is more colorful, every belief is guaranteed, and the Chinese dream of great rejuvenation is also integrated into all aspects of life.

The photo album left by the joy of mountains and rivers is also a good memory of the travel years. Nature's uncanny workmanship has left a magnificent natural garden here, which is full of colorful secrets. For such a vast tourist attraction, we need more time to blend in with nature, get close to nature, respect nature and feel more spiritual scenery.

Travel, let us get in touch with the scenic figures and folk customs around, and feel the long cultural history of every inch of scenic spots; It has also increased our love for the great rivers and mountains of the motherland; It enriches our life experience. A long trip, let us walk out of the comfort zone, broaden our horizons, baptize our hearts and feel the vastness of the world; Let's travel as a middle school culture and inherit the red spirit. Travel is also an escape from ordinary life, which can help us find our true self. "The world is so big, I want to see it." Everyone has a dream of traveling around the world, just as Haizi said; "Feed horses, chop wood, travel around the world, and give every river and mountain a warm name. I just want to face the sea and spring blossoms. " So go all the way, study well all the way, and don't forget the trip ahead.

As the sun sets, time flies. It's almost dusk in an instant. Facing the setting sun in the afternoon, bathed in the breeze, talking and laughing, full of happiness, we will join hands to set foot on the mountain road when we came up, and go all the way down. The journey of Xiqiao Mountain has reached the end, looking forward to more wonderful things on the road in the future. ......
