dragon cave |
|
|
|
| Yellow dragon cave locates
at the northern foot of Qixia Ridge. Yellow Dragon Cave
was originally called as Protect C the C Nation Benevolent
King Cave, No Gate Cave or Yellow Dragon Pool. It got
the name from the legend that a Southeren Song monk from
Yellow Dragon Hill in Jiangxi Province came and decided
to build a temple here. One day, suddenly a yellow dragon
appeared and hit the ground strongly. Then, a big rock
cracked in the middle like dragon mouth and a spring
gushed out from it. Moreover, Yellow Dragon Cave seems
to be dressed in green with green bamboo growing in the
surrounding hills. Various kinds of bamboo are available
around the cave, such as black bamboo, square bamboo
etc. On a green huge high steep rock, there is a spring
issuing from the mouth of the yellow dragon and tricking
down into the pool below. A famous quotation was engraved
beside the spring: Regardless the depth, Divine is the
dragon pool. Near the pool, there two nice pavilions
called Fragrant Snow and Cranes Stopover. Now this garden
also is served as a folk custom display and entertainment
side. When you enter the courtyard, you will see the
musicians in the ancient uniform play the Chinese traditional
musical instruments. |

| Tianzi
Peak |
|
|
|
| Tianzi Mountain is named
after Xiang Dakun who led the local farmers' revolt and
called himself Tianzi---the Son of Heaven. Bounded by
Suoxi Valley on the east, Zhangjiajie on the south, Sangzhi
County on the north, Tianzi Mountain is one of the four
scenic zones in Wulingyuan. It lies on the highest point
of "Golden Triangle", its highest point being
1262.5m(Kunlun peak) and lowest point being 534m(Shilan
valley). It has an area of 67 square kilometers, a touring
line of 45 kilometers, an average temperature of 12oC,
an annual waterfall of 1800 mm, a frost-free period of
240 days and a frozen period of 60-80 days. Except a
layer of limestone and a few areolate stones at the peak,
some hundred meters above sea level, the majority of
scenic spots is formed of quart stones, belonging to
sandstone ground feature which is the same as Suoxiyu
Valley and Zhangjiajie. The 500-meter or 600-meter thick
quartzite sandstone has evolved from neptunic rocks that
subsided from oceans 380,000,000 years ago and after
a complicated and long process formed strangely shaped
spectacles. To sum up, the landscape in Tianzi Mountain
is natural and primeval. Every scenic spot is created
by nature and of no artificial trace. There are not only
primeval forests and beautiful water but also plain folkways,
special customs and local specialities and delicacies
awaiting tourists from home and abroad. No wonder people
make comments, like " people who have climbed Tianzi
Mountain will not climb any other mountains" and "It
can not be said that you have been to Wulingyuan without
reaching Tianzi Mountain". |
