Detailed explanation of scenic spots

Green pines welcome guests

Jiugong pine trees are in various shapes. In particular, the "welcome pine", known as the first of the eight scenic spots, is pulled up from the ground and stands on the roadside. Its trunk is several feet high, its branches stretch to one side as if waving, and its crown droops to one side as if bending to salute. Next to the welcoming pine are "father son pine", "sister pine" and "shameful pine". The main pine of father and son is old and tall. The trunk of the pine is like an arm stretching forward. The other dwarf pine pours into the embrace of the main pine, just like father and son nestling together. Sister pines stand side by side, charming and charming. The Mimosa pine, also known as the amorous pine, can't be hugged by one person. The crown of the tree is like a canopy, covering more than ten meters. If you gently touch the branches with your hand, the whole tree will swing, just like the affectionate daughter. The age of these exotic pines is increasing

For more than 300 years, all the viewers are amazed.

Spring cliff snowing

In Jiugong Mountain area, there are more than 70 waterfalls for people to watch. Among them, Baizhang waterfall, Longtan waterfall, Bailong cave, wujietanbu waterfall, whirlpool waterfall and so on, all of them are flying straight down and hanging high, some of them are rushing down and some of them are puffing like smoke. The highest is Dayantou waterfall, which is more than 300 meters high and has a spectacular momentum. When it lands, it really has the spirit of pouring into the gully and rolling up thousands of piles of snow. But the most peculiar and durable is Quanyan waterfall, which is the crown of the eight sceneries of Jiugong Mountain. It is called "Quanyan gushing snow".

If you walk from the Bank of Yunzhong lake to find the sound, you can see a waterfall viewing platform with a cliff in the air when you come to the southwest corner of Fenghuang ridge and the dam gap. Under the stage is an unfathomable long and narrow dark valley, which is steep on three sides. It's creepy to look at. Opposite the waterfall viewing platform is the sacrificial rock, which is known as "the first dangerous place in southern Hubei". Yunzhong lake water from the top of the hanging rock from the stone in the drop, spray beads splash jade, flying straight down, up to more than 70 meters. The lake water that fell into the bottom of the stream splashed a thousand layers of snow waves, and the sound was like beating a drum, which was exciting. Every time in the season of flourishing water, the water of the lake pours down and falls about ten feet. Then it is stirred by the wind and turns into mist and smoke. It is so mysterious that it is lost in the narrow valleys and ravines and drowns the miscellaneous trees and cliffs.

Zhenjun stone Hall

Zhenjun stone hall is all made of green square brick, hexagonal structure, divided into three layers, more than two Zhang high. Now, there is a statue of Zhang Daoqing in the hall.

There is a stone hall behind the Ruiqing palace, which is now called "Zhenjun stone hall". It was built in 1195. It is said that it is the retreat of Zhang Qingdao, and was given by Emperor ningzong in the name of "Zhenmu hall". In 1207, after Zhang Daoqing died, qundao hid his corpse wax in this hall, so it is also called Zuye hall.

During the song and Yuan Dynasties, wars continued frequently, and the Taoist temple buildings in Jiugongshan were destroyed several times, but the "Zuye hall" and the corpse wax of Zhang Daoqing were saved by luck. In 1855, an arm of the Taiping army came to Jiugong Mountain. Due to different religious beliefs, Zhang Daoqing's corpse wax, which had been regarded as a "sacred object" for hundreds of years, was destroyed. However, the stone hall still remains today, which is the only surviving ancient building on Jiugong Mountain.

Wu Xiongchu pass

Following the stone path under the tiger chin for hundreds of meters, Wu Chuxiong pass, which is "the sunny and rainy half of the mountain, judging Chu and Wu from east to west". Wu Chuxiong pass is the boundary between Wu and Chu in ancient times. The existing gate is a Ming Dynasty building, but it is also very spectacular. There is a clear spring on Xiongguan, which flows to the southeast. This is the boundary point between Hubei and Jiangxi provinces. Wu Chuxiong pass is like a back. On both sides of the pass are cliffs. An ancient road is embedded in the cliffs, connecting Hubei and Jiangxi provinces. There is a real danger that "one man is in charge of the pass, and ten thousand men are not allowed to open it.".

Turtle pilgrimage

Wugui pilgrimage, in the north of Fenghuangling, below is Jiugong I Hydropower Station (haohanpo), about 2 li away from Yunhu lake, opposite to yunguanshiwang. This big Bluestone is very much like a tortoise crawling up the mountain. Whether you look close or far away, from the front or from the side, the image of the tortoise is clear. You see, its head is stretching upward, its back is loaded with heavy tortoise shell, and there are circles of spots.

With the change of weather, Turtle Rock presents different colors. If it is sunny, the rock is bright, golden yellow and purplish red, just like the golden turtle in Huangshi village of Zhangjiajie. In case of rainy days, clouds and fog fly around, Turtle Rock appears and disappears in the fog sea, more like a turtle in the fog sea.

Taoyao spring cave

Jiugong group mountain, there is a Bijia mountain, the West foot of the mountain has an ancient cliff cave, known as "Taoyao fairy cave.". Although the cave is not big, it has been a must for poets and poets to visit the secluded place since ancient times. It is backed by Bijia mountain, and in front of it lies the spray snow cliff. There are huge rocks outside the cave and clear springs in the cave. From a distance, you can see the waves of Wu and Chu mountains, and from a distance, you can see the beauty of Yunhu lake. According to local records: in the past, there were stone beds, stone cases, alchemy furnaces, ramming mortar and other objects in Taoyao cave. Now most of them are gone. There is only a stream of spring water. If a coin is placed in a small pool of water, it can float and rotate on the water without sinking. Therefore, this place is also called "Gudong Fuquan".
