Emperor Kangxi personally inscribed the word "remote town flood" on the main peak of Huaguo Mountain, Yunv peak, to show his respect for the gods of Huaguo Mountain. Li Bai: "tomorrow, I will not return to the blue sea, but the white clouds will worry about the color of Cangwu." With Su Shi: "gloomy Cangwu sea mountain, Penglai Abbot has no room.". All of them are about Yuntai Mountain, which has been known as "the first scenic spot in the East China Sea" and "one of the four Lingshan mountains in the sea" since ancient times.

natural resources

plant resources

Huaguo Mountain is rich in wild plant resources, including more than 1700 plant species, including 1190 kinds of drug resources. Golden Jade bamboo and ancient ginkgo are rare in Jiangsu Province and rare in China. They are important wild plant resources in Jiangsu Province, attracting many domestic universities, scientific research institutions, experts and scholars to study here every year.

Animal resources

There are more than 300 lively and lovely macaques living in the lush forest of Yunv peak in Huaguo Mountain. Wild macaques thrive on Huaguo Mountain in summer. They live a carefree life in harmony with tourists. They become an interesting landscape and add aura to Huaguo Mountain.

Water resources

The management area of Dasheng Lake Water Conservancy Scenic Spot in Huaguo Mountain is 10.47 square kilometers, and the water area is 0.95 square kilometers. After years of construction, it has formed a beautiful environment with mountains and rivers connected, lakes and mountains matched, biomass enriched and water land ecosystem interwoven. There are many scenic spots in the scenic area, such as ayuwang tower of Haiqing temple, Shuiliandong, tangwangba, yipiaoquan and other historical sites and cultural landscapes. In August 2011, the scenic spot was approved as a Provincial Water Conservancy Scenic Spot, and now it is declared as a national water conservancy scenic spot.

Huaguoshan Dasheng Lake Water Conservancy Scenic Spot is an important part of Lianyungang's tourism industry development, which will effectively improve the local ecological environment.

mineral resources

Huaguo Mountain has been known as "the first scenic spot in the East China Sea" and "one of the four Lingshan mountains in the sea" since ancient times. It integrates rocks, sea views, historic sites and myths. It is of high value for viewing, sightseeing and historical scientific research. Its rich human landscape and beautiful natural landscape make visitors marvel. The natural landscape presents the magnificent scenery of mountains and seas, Qiqiao and open. In the mountains, there are towering ancient trees, gurgling water, fragrant flowers and fruits, macaques, strange peaks and caves, strange rocks and clouds, and the scenery is magical and beautiful. "A journey to the west is not half a step out of this mountain, and the biography of Sanzang to the East is not what the novel says.". Related to the story of journey to the west, the wa stone in the birthplace of the monkey king, the shuilian cave, the 72 cave, the Tangseng cliff, the zhubajie stone and the Shaseng stone are lifelike and lifelike.

Geology and geomorphology

Huaguo Mountain is located on the Subei Jiaonan Anticline of Dabie Sujiao fold belt of Qinling fold system, which is one of the most deeply incised faults in China. Located in the "Sulu orogenic belt", the stratum lithology is metamorphic rock, showing schistosity and gneissism development. The metamorphic rocks in Huaguoshan area are mainly shallow grained rocks, belonging to meso Neoproterozoic (1.1-800 million years ago), with many basic dikes, which are named "Yuntai group". The geological characteristics of migmatite and metamorphic rock in Yuntai Mountain are very typical, and the types of migmatite and metamorphic rock are relatively complete, leaving a lot of geological relics. Moreover, the geological landscape formed in this area has considerable ornamental value, such as caves, strange rocks, Tianshengqiao, yixiantian, valley, etc.

Huaguoshan sea erosion cave is a natural classroom and experimental site for studying global sea level change. This kind of geological relic is rarely seen along the Pacific Rim. It is an important basis for studying crustal movement and sea level change. At the same time, due to the steep terrain of Huaguo Mountain, the development of rock joints, and many earthquakes, many collapse geological relics have been formed, forming a rare collapse accumulation stone landscape in China.

As a result of intense plate collision, extremely strong extrusion force was produced, and ultrahigh pressure metamorphic belt and high pressure metamorphic belt were formed in the orogenic belt. The Huaguoshan metamorphic rocks were subjected to temperature of about 300 ℃ and high pressure metamorphism of 7000-9000 bar during the orogeny. Since about 200 million years ago, the thickened crust has undergone isostasy, and the mountain roots of the orogenic belt have broken off into the mantle. Due to the rapid exhumation of the orogenic belt, the rocks of Huaguo Mountain have been uplifted from the deep part of the crust about 20 kilometers deep to the surface. After nearly 100 million years, they have been uplifted about 20 kilometers vertically and close to the surface. The Huaguoshan mountain has shifted about 300 km to the northeast. Since the late Cretaceous to Neogene, the Huaguoshan mountain has risen slowly and accepted denudation, with the denudation range of about 3-5 km. The present Huaguoshan landform was formed in the geological formation of nearly 500000 years. Because of the brittle faults around the Huaguoshan area, the tectonic movement has shown the characteristics of uneven rise and fall since the Quaternary, and the Huaguoshan mountain has been rising continuously, forming the highest peak in Jiangsu Province.

Introduction to scenic spots

Huaguo Mountain Gate

The gate of Huaguo Mountain is guarded by four stone lions, which fully reflects the characteristics of Huaguo Mountain: there is no tiger in the mountain, and the monkey is called king. Around the square, these stone monkeys are welcome monkeys of Huaguo Mountain. The original number is 108, which contains 36 Tiangang and 72 Disha. The four characters "Dongsheng Shenzhou" written on the plaque on the back of the mountain gate were inscribed by Mr. Shen Peng, acting chairman of the Chinese Calligraphy Association.

The water curtain cave

Shuilian cave is the most characteristic and representative scenic spot in Huaguo Mountain. This is the prototype of water curtain cave in monkey king's hometown in journey to the West. As early as before the completion of journey to the west, Shuiliandong was well-known. There are detailed and vivid descriptions in Gu Qian's thirty six scenes of Yuntai, Zhang Chaorui's travel notes and various local records. In front of the cave gate, there is an inscription of "high mountains and flowing water" by Wang Tong, the governor of Haizhou in 1544. There are also some stone inscriptions such as "Shenquan Purun" and "Lingquan". As "journey to the west" wrote: "a school of white rainbow, thousands of snow waves fly. ······The famous waterfall is like a hanging curtain.
