Legend of Guniu's landing in Kowloon

According to legend, there is a temple on Guniujiang Jiulong Mountain, with many monks and pilgrims. One year, there was a severe drought. Countless victims came to the temple of Chi Shan in Kowloon in droves to pray for the Buddha's rain to save the people's suffering. There is a little monk who is the incarnation of a real dragon. He has the ability to call the wind and the rain, and has a heart of compassion. He leaped, flipped nine somersaults, and when he landed at the temple, there were nine cave pools. When he got to the temple, he rowed, and a clear spring flowed down the river, like a white drill, connecting the nine cave pools, forming the nine dragon pools. Villagers say that the water dragon king of Jiulong pool is very smart. There used to be a rain praying platform at the foot of the mountain. In case of severe drought in Shitai, Dongzhi, Qingyang and Qimen counties, people came here to pray for rain. To pray for rain, a young man must burn incense and take a bath. Then he comes to the rain praying platform with a bamboo tube and prays devoutly. Then he takes the holy water from the fifth dragon pool and rushes back to his hometown day and night. There will be dark clouds, lightning and thunder all the way, and rain will follow. Legend is fascinating. In fact, Jiulong pool is a spring at the top of the mountain. When it flows down, it forms small pools in the mountain stream. However, because the water is pure and the stone is strange, the water is colored by the stone, the stone is fresh by the water, and the water and stone match each other, which is unpredictable. It has been praised as "the first scenery of Huangshan", which shows the beauty of the scenery.

From the foot of the mountain up the stream, the stones in the stream are like altar, round and regular, and the flowers and grasses on both sides are fascinating. When you first enter the mountain, there is a stone cliff. The stream overflows from the cliff and falls to the ground to form a pool. It is a dragon pool, more than Zhang. The water is yellow green in the shallow part and dark green in the deep part. It is said that it is the place where the Dragon King takes a bath. The villagers also call it the Dragon King bathtub. On the steep wall above, there is a river pool in the shape of a grand master's chair, which is the throne for the Dragon King to enjoy the cool, so it is called "Dragon King's chair". There is a school base on the top left of the Dragon King chair, which covers an area of about one mu. It is the place where Chinese people in ancient villages study. I don't know when the school was destroyed. Erlong pool is an irregular pool, with a cylindrical shape extending to the bottom of the pool, just like an old dragon drawing water. The pool is deep and dark. Dozens of steps forward, there is a stone arch on the left side, bending legs on the back, just like a toad. This is the toad stone. There is also an interesting spectacle near erlongchi. A sudden cliff stone stands up. The front looks like the territory of China, which is named "Zhonghua stone".

Guniujiang, sanlongchi and silongchi

The three dragon pool and the four dragon pool are the places where the dragons play and rest respectively. The distance between the four dragon pool and the Jiulong pool is not far. It is a series of deep pools on a high cliff. There are waterfalls at the top and bottom. The height is about tens of meters. In the rainy season, jade beads are splashing and the sound of water is murmuring. The scenery is very spectacular. It is said that wulongchi has the most aura, which can satisfy the rain prayers. It is said that an old dragon often lies in it, so it is called wolongchi. There is a concave shadow behind the six dragon pool. It looks like a statue of Guanyin from a distance. It has a kind face and a shape like a treasure gourd. The villagers say it's the wine gourd of monk Jigong after he was drunk. Once the wine is released, it makes the mountain people have a good and forthright character. The eight dragon pool is also called Longmen pass. The two stones stand opposite each other, holding the eight dragon pool as the dragon gate. It is said that someone once used eight pairs of hemp thread to tie up the stones and throw them to the end. Jiulong pool is more than 40 meters away from Balong pool. A stone cliff extends to the center of the pool. There are holes under the water. It's like a cow's nose, which can be used to wear ropes. It's also called a cow's nose string. Due to the dense vegetation, the nine dragon ponds are always full of fresh springs, which are never dry up. The water and waterfall are connected like beads, with different parts and combinations. Sometimes they are swift and violent, and the momentum is like thunder; sometimes they are winding and winding, and they are slow and lingering.

Further up to the top of the mountain, it suddenly becomes clear that a feldspar dam is built between the two mountains to block the clear spring and form a reservoir. The high mountain comes out of the Pinghu Lake, and the lake water is clear and green, like a huge piece of jade. The mountain wind is blowing and the waves are sparkling. It is suspected that it is a fairyland of Yaolin. Surrounded by mountains, verdant trees, green pines and ancient cypresses, business is full. No matter from which direction you look at the past, it is like a huge landscape painting, with beautiful scenery. Jiulongchi is located in a gorge with towering rocks and steep cliffs. It looks like an adventure, but it has a road to climb. In the dense forest, there are many orchids, mosses, flowers and leaves everywhere. It is a good place for sightseeing, exploration, fitness and leisure.
