legend

According to folklore, Zhaobi mountain is named for its steep mountain, sunshine and river competition. There are other myths and Legends: Tang monks and disciples went to the west to get scriptures. They once passed here and met seven snake demons. They named them to fight with the monkey king. The monkey king was lazy to do it, so he pulled out a fairy hair and threw it into a fairy fruit on Zhaobi mountain. The snake demons were wriggling, leaping at the fairy fruit from three different directions at the same time, competing for each other. The great sage recited a mantra and decided to stay here, so they became towering mountains.

On the south side of Zhaobi mountain, on both sides of the valley, there are cliffs against each other, only a line of blue sky is exposed, forming a famous water gorge with a length of more than ten kilometers. Among them, a section of wudaoao gorge in Houshan mountain has deep forest and dense grass, cliffs force water, stone gates stand, and mountains turn back. The environment is quiet and dangerous, and there are often red deer, roe deer, wild boar and so on. It is a good place for exploration and eco-tourism.

Tourism information

Tourist routes

ZHAOBISHAN majuangou line is one of the more distinctive lines in the South-North longitudinal crossing of South Tianshan Mountain in Urumqi. It takes about 5 hours to re load the whole line. Starting from an unimportant path beside Zhaobi mountain, you can cross the gorge, follow the clear horse path, and keep going up the mountain. When you get to maquangou, you will have a bright vision. In front of you, you will see a prairie like Bayinbuluke, which is the core of maquangou corridor - maquangou prairie.

The road along the way is basically through the canyon, accompanied by a small river. The river reaches the source 40 minutes after starting from Zhaobi mountain. However, in case of heavy rain, the whole Canyon may become the outlet of majuangou grassland.

Zhaobi mountain, Ludian

Zhaobi mountain is more than 20 kilometers away from Ludian County. Qiaowei highway passes through the whole area. The Babaoshan silver mine developed during the reign of Emperor Qianlong also left piles of slag. Longtoushan Longquan River and Shaba river flow into Tianshengqiao karst cave after crossing ZHAOBISHAN, and flow into Niulanjiang river more than 200 meters through the cave.

Zhaobi mountain is a raised mountain on the Wumeng plateau in Northeast Yunnan, with a radius of about 50 Li. It is boat shaped, with an altitude of 1000 to 3000 meters. It is surrounded by water on three sides. In front of the mountain is Longquan River, and behind the mountain is Shaba river. The two rivers flow eastward. At the easternmost end of Zhaobi mountain, they meet under a steep peak called snakehead, and then flow into the yellow and turbulent Niulan river. However, the water flows down the mountain roots. People living on Zhaobi mountain can see and hear the water, but they can't make use of it. Lack of water has become their destiny, and they have to look at the water year after year. The westernmost end of Zhaobi mountain was originally connected with an unknown and long mountain range. Because of the appearance of a deep mountain pass called luomaya pass, it was completely cut apart, forming a solitary boat like shape. There is also a legend about the boat like landform of Zhaobi mountain: as usual, it was "a long time ago". Zhaobi mountain is still a vast ocean. A big ship came from a long distance. It didn't know where it was going and why it capsized here. I don't know how many generations and disasters have passed, but a boat shaped mountain rises slowly from the shipwreck. The old people have no doubt about the authenticity of this legend. One important reason is that many great grandparents claim to have witnessed the "mast" of this "ship" - an extremely large ancient pine. It is said that this strange tree grows on the boundary of goujialiang mountain at the top of Zhaobi mountain. It is more than ten meters thick and towering into the clouds. Half the height of the tree, you can have a panoramic view of Ludian County more than thirty kilometers away. There is a big bell on the tree, which can be heard dozens of miles away when it rings. On the top of zhuannaobao, another peak of Zhaobi mountain, there are some fossils similar to fish and shellfish in several blue rocks, but this is not enough evidence, because such fossils are not rare in many plateaus.

There is no need to prove that Zhaobi mountain used to be covered by wild primeval forests, because many places will still be green and overcast if they do not experience the vigorous "steel smelting" movement and the large-scale deforestation after the land was removed. Like most primeval forests, Zhaobi mountain was sparsely populated. It is said that some Yi people once lived here, but like the mysterious "mast", no trace has been found for a long time.
