Geology and geomorphology

Nushan ancient volcano Geopark is located in the territory of Nushanhu town (formerly Shaogang township), in the northeast of Mingguang City, 27 kilometers away from the urban area. Nushan is a dormant volcano.

It is one of the most well preserved ancient craters in the world (there are only two in China, and the other is in northeast Heilongjiang). The crater is 1.1 km long from east to west and 1 km wide from north to south, with an altitude of 101.5 meters and an area of 1900 mu. Nushan is a precious treasure left by nature. It has unique volcanic landforms, complete institutions, typical features, rich contents and complete structural combination. It is a window to observe the structure of the earth. Overlooking Nushan from the air, it is like a jade ring floating on the water surface, so it is also called Yuhuan mountain. There are more than 20 scenic spots in the mountain, with beautiful lakes and mountains, beautiful natural environment and rich cultural landscape. It is known as "three villages surrounded by a piece of water, verdant farmland in April".

Representative landscape

Mosquito free place

Sulfur and other minerals sublimated from volcanic gas eruption emit special gas, which makes summer free of mosquitoes and flies, forming a unique area. It covers an area of more than 1000 square meters (there are Qifeng in the pass of Yuhuan mountain, sleeping in the hazy summer night). If it's not the strong smell of sulfur, there will be no mosquitoes here.)

Immortal Cave (also known as Xianju Grottoes)

The section is composed of multiple layers of porous basalt and volcanic ash, and there are many pores with different sizes and shapes. This section is an excellent place to study Neogene contemporaneous volcanic eruption in Nushan. (it has been said for a long time that a pair of fairy maids are mysterious in Taoism. The name hidden in the poem is really wonderful, and the son of Shuanglong has a lot of trouble.)

Yuhuan pool

After several eruptions, the crater ruptured and expanded. In addition, after the eruption, the lava naturally cooled and subsided, forming a concave crater of different depths. Later, it accumulated water to form a lake. A small reservoir naturally formed at the bottom of the mountain, maintaining the water level of 4-6 meters throughout the year. According to the determination of Australian and Japanese experts, the water collects a variety of minerals. Long bath of this water can protect the skin and open up the sky However, the project of Nushan Tianchi is under development. (about 5 mu)

Lake View Pavilion

Built in August 2003, it is a hexagonal pavilion with a 3.5-high column and a 7-meter-high Pavilion. It is a wonderful place to view the beautiful scenery of Nvshan lake. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the lake and the scenery of the mountains. You can hear the fishing boat singing late and feel happy.

Pumice Beach

Pumice is a kind of glassy rock with pores, which floats immediately when thrown into the water. The volcanic lava here is eroded by the lake waves to form beach, and the columnar joints of basalt and olivine inclusions can be seen. (leprosy was born with a light body, and the water surface is bumpy and does not sink; handicrafts are made with skillful hands for people to enjoy and enjoy.)

Pearl Spring

Six flat circular springs of different sizes are formed in the fault, which are arranged in a string of beads and belong to low temperature hot springs.

He laofen

It is said that it is the tomb of a famous official in Nanjing after his death. The tomb is a north-south trend, sitting in the north and facing the south, with a large scale. It was destroyed later, and now only remains. (why does he fall in love with officials and worship Fengshui Yin Yang master? He fantasizes that his son and grandson are in high position and his father and son are buried in the world together.)

Panlong tree

There is a village called xiaolinying in the north of the highest peak of Nushan mountain. In front of the village, there is a big tree, ancient Pistacia chinensis, also known as Coptis chinensis. Its trunk is 3.30 meters in bust, 21 meters in height, and 16 meters in crown. It covers an area of more than 200 square meters. It is more than 500 years old. It has dense shade and blocks out the sun. When summer comes, it attracts hundreds of birds to contend, which is very interesting. The tree has a different flower plate top, under the ancient tree roots, named Panlong tree. Vehicles can't get to panlongshu. It's 2 kilometers from the top of the north mountain to panlongshu, and it takes two hours to go back and forth. It's 4 kilometers from the bottom of the mountain to panlongshu, and it takes two hours to go back and forth. Therefore, among the 1000 tourists in Nushan, very few of them arrive at Panlong tree. According to the identification, it has a history of more than 500 years. The tree is Coptis chinensis, with a height of 21 meters, a chest height of 21 meters, a chest circumference of 3.3 meters and a crown width of 16 meters. The tree grows vigorously, has a plump crown, and its roots look like Dragon claws. It is rare. (this old tree does not know its age. It is filial and enjoys the cool. The horse is tied. The dragon plate is like a giant umbrella, and its shade covers half of the sky.)

Folklore

Nushan Lake is famous for Nushan. According to folklore, there was an old ferryman on Nushan Lake, who was called bieye because he was sure of the turtle. Bieye had a daughter, a jade girl, who was born like a flower and fell in love with Pang GUI, a fisherman. When they were about to get married, the bully Wang Ye took a fancy to the jade girl and wanted to marry her as the second wife. One day, Wang Ye took someone to the door to rob her. He fought with Pang GUI. Pang GUI was so powerful that no one was close to him. Wang Ye ordered him to bow and shoot arrows. When the arrow penetrated Pang GUI's chest, Pang GUI also threw the sharp arrow in his hand, which hit the heart of the king. When the king died, Pang GUI fell on the board of the boat. Pang GUI's body floated to the west of Jiuxian town near Nushan Lake. A mountain, called Guishan, grew up, which is now called guitouzui beside lingyunwei. Yunv also died of love. Her body floated to the lake, and a mountain grew up, which is Yunv mountain, now Nushan.

Protection and development

Nushan ancient crater is one of the best preserved ancient craters in the world. The geological and geomorphic remains of Nushan ancient Huoshankou were formed 1.5 million years ago, and the various flow structures of its eruptions are very obvious. It is one of the most representative areas of neobiochemical basalt eruption in China, and has high aesthetic and research value.

In accordance with the requirements of Geopark development and construction, Mingguang City has always adhered to sustainable development since March 2001, focusing on protective development. On the basis of not destroying the original Huoshankou landform, the development of Nushan mountain is positioned as a Geopark integrating sightseeing, entertainment, popular science education and scientific research. In January 2004, it was approved as the first batch of provincial geoparks by Anhui Provincial Department of land and resources.
