Chuanshanyan

From the south of Qixingyan scenic spot to Chuanshan Road (or Shanghai Road), you can visit Chuanshan scenic spot full of interesting and new ideas. It's only about 20 minutes by car. On the way, you can see that the shape of Chuanshan is very strange, and the five peaks are connected into one. The north peak and the West Peak are close to the Xiaodongjiang River, the middle peak rises, and is closely connected with the East peak and the south peak, with a relative height of 94 meters. From a distance, there is a big hollow hole on the hillside, transparent and clear, just like the moon. There are many wonderful caves in these peaks, which are scattered in layers and penetrate the whole mountain, so they are called "Chuanshan". Because the five peaks stand up like a penholder, it is also called "Bijia mountain". The most attractive thing is that when the sky is clear, the hanging moon rock has a secluded realm. The ancients once described it like this: "as soon as the clouds are swept away, the bright moon suddenly comes. Panshi sits on the Qingxiao, and the shade of flowers prints on the green platform.... "

Chuanshan is one of the famous mountains in Guilin, which has enjoyed a long reputation since ancient times. Its main peak has a hole through which the sky is bright and round. It looks like a bright moon hanging high. It is called "moon rock". Because it penetrates north and south, it is also called "through rock", and Chuanshan is also named after it. Chuanshan has more than 30 caves, the most beautiful of which is the Chuanshan cave discovered in 1979. It is another large scenic cave in Guilin after Qixingyan and ludiyan. The total length of the cave is 517 meters, the distance is 248 meters, the normal temperature is about 22 ℃, warm in winter and cool in summer. The exquisite stalactites, stalagmites, stone curtains and stone shields in the cave are very beautiful. In particular, the crystal clear goose tubes, curly stone branches, snow-white transparent crystal stones and blooming long hair of stones form the unique four characteristics of chuanshanyan, which has high ornamental and scientific research value. Therefore, chuanshanyan is known as "a rare and magical crystal cave in the world".

Origin of address

There is an old folk legend here: Yueyan was shot through by Fubo general in Han Dynasty. At that time, general Fubo was ordered to supervise Guilin and resist the invasion of Southern Xinjiang by Zhuchi. The powerful Fubo general awed king Chuchi and forced him to negotiate peace. The two sides agreed that Chuchi would retreat to a distance of one arrow. General Fubo went up to Fubo mountain to draw a bow and shoot a magic arrow, which penetrated through Chuanshan, the moon mountain of Lijiang River, and the moon mountain of Yangshuo, and reached the border between the two countries. King Zhuchi had to withdraw his troops and return to his hometown. Because it was the mountain that his arrow shot through, it was named Chuanshan. In fact, Guilin was a vast ocean as far back as 350 million years ago. 200 million years ago, the sea water retreated, and the rock penetrating water was continuously moving for thousands of years. This long acting "Magic Arrow" scoured and dissolved day and night, and was chiseled through day and night. From this we can see that the superb skill of "water dripping wears stone" is really the immortal power of nature sculptors. Along the riverside highway, looking to the Shanxi side, there are new scenes that have been built everywhere. With the discovery of Chuanshan cave, in 1980, Chuanshan scenic spot and Chuanshan rock were built. In recent years, a new 600 meter Chuanshan road scenic Avenue was built. On both sides of the avenue, ancient banyan trees were planted, including Ficus microcarpa, Osmanthus fragrans and peach trees. It is continuous and charming, showing a beautiful green corridor. It is adding the charm of mountains and rivers with a new look.

When you enter the scenic area, the bamboo trees on the cliff are green, and the grass on the river bank is green, especially the tall cedars, Magnolia grandiflora and osmanthus trees, accompanied by flowers and grass. Recently, a bronze statue of "three friends of the year and the cold" has been erected. It is more than 2 meters high and looks handsome to welcome tourists. On the left is Tian Han, a famous contemporary dramatist; on the middle is Ouyang Yuqian; on the right is Xu Beihong, a famous painter. During the Anti Japanese War, they lived at the foot of the Chuanshan mountain. Under extremely difficult conditions, they not only actively engaged in or led the Anti Japanese and national salvation cultural movement, but also created a large number of works, leaving many handed down works and famous paintings, which made great contributions to the Anti Japanese culture of Guilin. New bronze statue. It is to let people remember and remember the respectable revolutionaries.

Features of scenic spots

Xiaodongjiang Bay is a quiet lake with a water surface of about 2.7-3.3 hectares. It is built into a small island in the middle of the river to connect the arch bridge. The East and West banks are connected, and the willows dance beautifully. On the West Bank of the lake is a row of new dykes, holding a large solitary peak. On the mountain is a seven story hexagonal solid tower built in the Ming Dynasty. The brick tower is 13.3 meters high. On the north side of the second floor of the tower, there is a statue of nanwuwuliangshou Buddha In ancient times, it was called shoufo pagoda, but now it is called Tashan. The reflection of the mountain does not create artistic conception in the water. These mountains, grotesque caves, ancient pagodas, rivers and lakes, pavilions and pavilions, green trees and flowers echo each other and reflect each other. All the green hills on all sides are picturesque. They are extremely beautiful natural scenic spots.

The most interesting one is the enclosed rock cave, now known as chuanshanyan, which was accidentally discovered during the excavation of the war readiness air raid shelter in 1979. It is one of the most distinctive giant caves among the 30 odd layered caves in Chuanshan. Through exploration, it is found that the natural cave is 1531 meters long, of which Wangdong is 349 meters long, 3-5 meters wide in general, and 30 meters wide at the widest part. The height of the cave is generally 2-7 meters, and the highest is more than 30 meters. There are countless kinds of stalactites in the cave. Among the rare stones, there are many crystal clear goose tubes and rolling stone branches. The stalactites are white and shining, and the stones are blooming and hairy. It's hard to see them in other caves, so they are known as "the magic crystal cave rarely seen in the world". After walking about 50 meters, we suddenly turned on the color lights, and everyone stopped and was stunned. In this magnificent cave, looking up, the stone curtain hanging on the wall of the cave is folded and folded, about 10 meters wide. From a height of more than 10 meters, it falls down heavily along the stone slope, flashing with bright light, like a waterfall falling from a high mountain, splashing with jade, like the Milky way falling into the sky. This is the first scene: the waterfall through the mountains. Along the stone steps uphill, the guide points to the second big scene, which is the place where the stalactites concentrate more: the stone pillars and stone trees in the middle and lower layers, like strings of flowers and fruits, coiled around the dark cave in the lower layer. There is also a pool of water in the cave, forming a magical triple cave, such as the paradise, which is the "water curtain cave". This is the reappearance of the real scene described in journey to the West. It's a wide place to move on. Some of the stalactites here grow at the bottom of the cave, some hang at the top, and some are attached to the rock wall. The big golden stalagmite on the ground is a betel nut fruit tree in the subtropical zone; the small white jade stalagmite is like a loving mother holding a baby; the hanging stalagmite is like a sword. In addition, there are four connected "embroidery sheds", knot stone lotus root and long towel gourd The landscape is magnificent! Around these scenes, there are many "goose tubes" (stone tubes), such as crystal clear glass tubes, some as the size of chopsticks, some as thin as fingertips (crystal needles), which are very rare. The landscape of the third cave is dazzling and beautiful.

Then turn back to the narrow corridor, and the guide lights up the top of the cave with a flashlight. A long groove extends to the top of the highest cave, about 30 meters high, which is called "a line does not see the sky". A little bit ahead, and see more rare treasures. This is the most wonderful cave hall. On the dome, there are many colorful stones. "Quick look - how many" Diamond Swords "!" on the top of the cave, there are rows of inverted stone branches and bell milk. There are countless white and finger thick branches in clusters. The longest one can reach more than 1.5 meters, which is the longest in China and the rarest feldspar branch in the world, forming a "stone branch corridor". Some of them are like sharp swords, others are like sharp needles, and there are large bell breasts, such as sharp blades, shining with different colors, such as golden, milky white and so on. Along the cave, there are ginseng, salted duck, crystal white shrimp, iceberg snow lotus and so on, which are as transparent as jade. Particularly bright is that the pieces of open petals, crystal clear, withdraw in the four sides of the rock, appears extremely beautiful. These stalactite objects seem to be covered with fine and shining velvet, which is full of life and gives people a sense of vitality. It is another wonderful masterpiece of nature.

We all gaze at this novel phenomenon, and the pleasant explanation fascinates the tourists: who shapes all kinds of looks for the towering mountains and grottoes in the Karst World? Who makes the unpredictable stalactites, stalagmites and pillars in the cave The formation of various images and scenery? In detail, it is also very complex! In short, it is the magical and incomparable underground water flow, which not only promotes the vitality of nature, but also makes the earth a changing spectacle.

Cause of formation

Scientists believe that water can dissolve calcareous matter. This dissolution is very slow and is not easy to be observed directly. As the saying goes, "water drips through stone". In addition to the impact and weathering of water, part of the rock is dissolved by water. For thousands of years, the continuously moving water has the extraordinary ability to scour, dissolve and depict numerous karst landforms of different shapes. At the same time, the rainwater flowing into the rock cracks dissolved the main material of limestone - calcium carbonate, and became calcium carbonate solution. With the increase of temperature, decrease of pressure, evaporation of water vapor and escape of carbon dioxide, calcium carbonate recrystallizes. It condenses into solid and grows on the top, wall and bottom of the cave. The stalactite formed by dripping water from the top of the cave is called "stalactite", which accumulates from the bottom of the cave upward
