The wonder of Qinglan

According to local folklore, Qinglan cave was made by the immortal when he was refining pills. It was a kind of fairy medicine mortar. It is said that in ancient times, the Qinglan valley was shrouded in fairy fog, and the cave was open to the sky. The tree of the God of immortality was born against the wall, with strong roots and luxuriant leaves. The emperor liked to find the holy land of alchemy, so he led the heavenly spring to lead the public

The immortals use the roots of the immortals as their medicine. They wash the mortal dust with the immortals spring. They pound and pound the rocks to make secret medicine. Year after year, the rocks in the valleys pound the medicine to form mortar, leaving traces in the world. Song Yu, a poet of the Song Dynasty, toured Qinglan in those days. He marveled at the fairyland scenery of the valley. He wrote an impromptu poem: "the clear spring is full of water, and the stone cave is full of water. The fairy of medicine and alchemy has gone, leaving only the remains for people to see." the wonderful work has been handed down for thousands of years.

Qinglan wonder -- pot hole

Some experts believe that in the south of China at low altitudes and latitudes, there is no climatic condition for glaciers to form, and it is impossible to form glaciers. According to the research conducted by Foshan Geological Bureau in 2011, Qinglan cave is a round, bowl shaped, cylindrical or irregular pit formed by vortex flow or current carrying sand and gravel eroding bedrock riverbed for a long time, which is a pothole.

Strange scenery of Qinglan

Magic Canyon, strange audio. Standing on the top of the rock peak, the strange sound varies from high to low, like music and laughter, resonating in the valley, which can be called Qinglan first strange.

It is said that when the immortals were here to make pills, they used to play the Qin and make music for fun. They sang loudly or played harmoniously. Songs, laughter and sounds of silk and bamboo reverberated in the secluded valley, which was full of joy and peace. The reason for this phenomenon is that the Qinglan gorge has been eroded and divided for a long time, forming the upper, middle and lower Triassic cliffs near the stream. The whirling air effect resonates in front of the cliff, and the echo is loud. Therefore, it is also called "echo rock".

A unique place in eastern Guangdong

Qinglan strange mortar Valley got its name because of the strange mortar, and it was called Jue because of the strange mortar. In the strange mortar Valley, which is about 8 kilometers long, there are thousands of stone mortars of different sizes and shapes, which are either exposed in the bedrock riverbed, or perched on the bank wall of the riverbed, or hidden deep under the huge rolling stones of the riverbed. There are single mortars alone, accompanied by groups and connected with each other. Its shape is like a mortar, like a basin, like a urn, like a niche, or into a hole, a pool, a trough, or a well.

The perilous scene of Qinglan

The ancient trees live on the wall, and the old roots support the huge rocks.

It is said that in ancient times, Qinglan grotto, jiugu grotto, opened to the sky and was surrounded by fairy fog. The trees were rooted and leafy because of the spirit of heaven and earth, and they were immortal. At that time, the Supreme Lord took this root as a medicine and made it into an elixir of immortality.

The dangerous scenery of Qinglan

With one hand, gently push the boulder to shake it, but not fall it. Fengdongshi is the only dynamic and dangerous scene in Qinglan provincial Geopark. When you push it, it looks like it is tottering, but actually it stands upright. Its swing is unparalleled, which can be called the best.
