Main attractions

Grand Canyon

Enter Tongren Gorge

The valley first has to go through a 40 meter tunnel, which makes the canyon very mysterious. The canyon is a combination of precipitous, secluded, secluded, spacious, strange and dangerous. The original Canyon and forest, spotless fresh air and charming waterfalls form a fantastic natural scenery. The most attractive of the canyons are Xiaolongtan waterfall and yixiantian.

Xiaolongtan waterfall

Xiaolongtan waterfall is like a white horse coming down from the sky. It's like drizzle and white fog. It rises on the cliffs. Refracted by the sunlight, a rainbow appears and disappears. It makes people hallucinate.

In the cascade flow of Xiaolongtan, there are three green pools with clear bottom. Xiaolongtan waterfall overflows into Tongren Grand Canyon, where the river is turbulent, the dangerous shoals are dense, the strange rocks are towering, the rapids are rushing and surging. From then on, the boat drifted through the dangerous place, and the screams were heard all the time.

Yixiantian is located in the deep canyon in the middle of Tongren Grand Canyon. The canyon is more than 200 meters long like a sharp axe. The stone walls on both sides are more than 300 meters high, and the largest part is only 4 meters. The trees on the stone walls are connected with each other and leak into the skylight line, which is called "uncanny Craftsmanship".

The plank road is 30 meters away from the river. Visitors can enjoy the magical beauty of the sky and interact with the drifting tourists. It's also enjoyable!!

drift

Tongren Grand Canyon is about 2km long and takes about an hour to drift. The beach of Tongren Grand Canyon is full of strange water and circuitous flow. On both sides of the canyon, there are green trees, mountains, clouds and beautiful scenery. The waterfalls, flowing springs and karst peak forests complement each other.

Take the rafter to shuttle in the beach, galloping soul and soul, relaxed and happy. "Men are laughing, women are screaming!"

Pinghu

Tongren Grand Canyon Pinghu tour is the essence of Tongren Grand Canyon, and it is amazing that the scenic spots and lovely scenes are taken by scenic boats. Tongren Grand Canyon bridge has a wonderful and secluded scenery. First of all, its clear river water.

This winding river, rippling blue waves, a pool of green, level as a mirror, quiet as a virgin. The magical and secluded scenery of the canyon lies in its steep bank.

The average width of the river bed in the canyon is 36 meters. Some river banks - let's call them banks - are concave caves with stalactites hanging and endless springs dripping down.

In many places, there is no buffer bank, and the towering cliffs are directly connected with the river.

These steep banks sometimes stand alone, rugged and towering, sometimes meandering and rolling, rugged ups and downs, overlapping peaks, green and gorgeous green, the peaks turn back, the water is poor and the peaks come out.

Countless waterfalls pour down from the top of the mountain to the canyon, piling up countless tufa materials on the mountain wall, such as rare flowers and Yushu, like rare birds and animals, in various forms and colorful.

The magic and secluded of Tongren Grand Canyon lies in the various waterfalls along the coast. On the banks hundreds of meters high on both sides of the canyon, the clear springs and trickling streams that supply water for countless villages and paddy fields finally pour into the canyon, thus forming countless waterfalls on both sides of the canyon.

These waterfalls, no matter big or small, are very attractive. It is just the so-called "all around fat and all around thin, each with its own beauty".

With the sound of thunder in the sky and the silver waves touching the ground, thousands of piles of snow rise, which naturally reminds people of the famous calligrapher Yan yinliang's famous couplet for Huangguoshu waterfall: "white water is like cotton, it doesn't need a bow and a bullet to scatter itself, and the red clouds are like brocade, so why should it be made of edge weaving embroidery?" written by Yan yinliang, a famous calligrapher in Tongjiang Academy of Tongren in the Qing Dynasty.

And the small waterfall is flying, ethereal, intermittent, like a divine song floating from the distant sky, the water mist floating in the canyon, like melodious notes dancing with the wind.

Local cuisine

rice curd

"Mashed bridge rice tofu" was first produced in the late Qing Dynasty, famous for its delicious color and taste. Its main raw material is made of Shichang xiangshuidong "oily sticky" rice and xiangshuidong spring water, so it is also known as "oily sticky delicious rice tofu". Xiangshui cave is one of the eight scenic spots of Songtao. This place is endowed with unique advantages, mild climate and pure water quality. The "oily sticky" rice produced three kilometers from the lower limit of the mouth of the cave has the characteristics of "color like jade, grain like pearl, fragrance like zongzi". In the Qing Dynasty, it was used as "tribute rice" and presented to the imperial court.

In the past, people once wrote a poem praising: "the outstanding people have the unique advantages of Lingshui Feiquan, which is rich in oil and good in color and taste. It is called a treasure, and it is ordered to pay tribute to the people and offer fresh food. Although the appellation of "Gongmi" has lasted for a long time, it has never declined. Today, every autumn harvest, the superior specially ordered the special storehouse to store it. It can be seen that it is unusual.

Local people use this rice to make rice tofu. With a little seasoning, it has a unique flavor. It was moved to the market for trial sale, and all the diners praised it. This is the name of "oily and delicious rice tofu". Around the 20th year of the Republic of China, Huang Changgui (nicknamed "langrouqiao"), a chef in Nanmen of liaogao Town, was good at cooking. He improved the processing technology of rice tofu from beating rice and refining to pot making. After that, the color of rice tofu was jade green and elastic. It was cut into small cubes. After a long time of cooking, the color and shape of rice tofu were the same as before, supplemented with pepper, ginger, green onion, red pepper noodles, and crispy refined meat Tender and delicious.

Once listed every day, customers rush to buy food, and the supply falls short of demand. If they fall behind one step, they will feel sorry for their lack of food.

In the past, the county used to treat people with morning noodles (chicken soup and silver noodles), night wine (table noodles) and noon tea (cakes and fruits). Since the glutinous rice tofu came out of the market, the guests asked to eat his rice tofu instead of morning noodles and afternoon tea. Even if the table was full of delicacies, it was boring.

Local students who go abroad for further study or who live far away in business travel, that is, Songtao people in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, the United States and Europe, often come to Xinxin and luanheqiao's rice tofu to think it is precious.

Wormwood cake

Artemisia cake, also known as powder cake, Qingming cake and miancai cake, is a kind of food loved by Songtao people, and it is also a common good product for ancestor worship. During the Qingming Festival, every family has to make several bowls of rice Baba, which not only can be enjoyed by our ancestors, but also can be tasted by modern people.

There are three main raw materials of Artemisia cake

(1) The proportion of glutinous rice to sticky rice depends on the quality of glutinous rice.

(2) Artemisia ordosica L.

(3) Stuffing.

Production: (1) make noodles. First soak the sticky rice for one to three hours, then put the sticky rice together and soak for a while, drain the water and beat it into noodles (previously, when there was no motor, it was pounded with a pestle). After the flour is beaten, it should be used immediately, otherwise, it should be spread dry to avoid acid.

(2) Remove and boil the white wormwood and thicken the noodles. The wild white wormwood should be picked and used fresh, cleaned, boiled with water, squeezed dry, pounded with a pestle, and then thicken with a small amount of rice flour in the pot.

If the use of soft vegetables, it is more convenient, because soft vegetables generally only in the Qingming season after picking flowers to dry, for a year's use. At that time, just pound it into a foam and thicken it.

If you beat too much, the cake will be sweet. If you beat too little, the softness and toughness of the cake will be poor. Beat a good euryale, on the joint in the rice and flour, knead into Ba group.

(3) Make stuffing. There are two kinds of stuffing: salty and sweet. For salty stuffing, Bacon (fresh meat is also acceptable), dried bean curd (all cooked and cut into small pieces), garlic sprouts (chopped), and a small amount of pickled turnip are added to stir fry and set aside; for sweet stuffing, black sesame is generally used, stir fried, mashed and sugar added. Raw materials prepared, package filling steamer steaming can be eaten

Artemisia cake is tough, soft, waxy and smooth. It has a strong fragrance of wild Artemisia, and it can replenish qi, strengthen lung and soothe spleen and stomach. But in the past, it was delicious and hard to pound. Especially at the end of the new year, families with pestles often lined up, and families with weak labor often had to go out to pound ten kilograms of rice in a hard day.

It's easy to make rice noodles, but it's not difficult to make them
