Xialaoxi

Xialaoxi

Originating from niupingya, Yiling District, Yichang City, Xialao river flows from north to south through baimuping, baimaling, qinjiamiao and jiangjiamiao, then to Nanjin and into the Yangtze River, with a total length of 26.7 km.

Xialao stream is clear and jade like. The stream winds into the mountains and peaks. The two sides of the stream are beautiful. There are warblers in the green forest, butterflies in the flowers, and musical instruments in the flying spring. Step by step, it is quiet and beautiful.

Legend of scenic spots

It is said that in ancient times, in order to punish an evil dragon, he locked it at the bottom of Xialao River, the father of Dayu, the hero of flood control. Tourists walk into the valley of Xialaoxi and look up at the mountains on both sides of the Strait, such as Shimen, shigu, laohuling, yangquandong and shizinao. All these masterpieces make people confused and fascinated, just like entering the world of myth. The Xialaoxi natural bathing beach, which lives deep in the gorge, can accommodate thousands of people at the same time. Beside the bathing beach, there are chujiashanzhai built close to the mountain and Fengyu bridge imitating the ancient style of Bachu, bringing visitors into a paradise. Nearby, there are more than 100 kinds of precious tree species and exotic plants around shizinao bathing beach. Visitors can enjoy the forest bath with beautiful scenery in four seasons.

You can't feel summer in the stream in summer. When you go in in the morning and come out at night, you can only judge the time by the light and shadow on the top of the mountain. We enjoy the time in the natural bath, forget the time, forget the outside world, forget why we come, forget ourselves. In the evening, when we come out, the sun is going to set. When I was crowded on the bus, I knew we would return to the life of sardine, and we should find our own canned food. The mountains beside us and the water in the gorge will be memories. When we get together again in a few years, goodbye Xialaoxi

Poems of famous historians

[Author: Ouyang Xiu]

[time: Song Dynasty]

[poetry]:

I hear the sound of the stream across the valley and look for the stream to cross the mountain.

Qingliu Han white stone, static see Qianfeng shadow.

The rock flowers are endless, and the green and the green are full of vitality.

An Neng loves the ripples and looks up at the clouds.

Recalling Yimao's October trip to Xialaoxi, the first stream of the Yangtze River

When I heard that there was a tree under the prison, how many wanderers felt the curtain.

Xuanfu pursues climbing the cold mountain, while Qingke struggles out of cangyan.

The mountain peaks are active and the sun is rising. The long drive car is especially fast on the smooth road.

I know the road ahead, but I can't stay in a hurry.

Turn to Xikou to change your eyes and ears, and the river water gradually goes away.

Along the river, the range rover, the step Valley, the Qifeng ring, and the jingmang resistance.

It's hard to imagine the five mountains towering in the sky.

Looking around, you can see green, but you only know grass and wood.

When you walk, you will feel the sound of the waves, and jump round the bead.

The ellipsoid stone is gorgeous and ancient, and has been attacked and occupied by the clear current for a long time.

When the stream stone into the wild, algae no stone edge Cuk pain.

Thin ice is like walking on a treadmill. I can see that others have fallen.

The shore caresses the heart, the mountain trees, the wind smiles, and I belong.

This trip is really a victory trip. I have the feeling of victory. Why should I be afraid.

I've always been interested in ape.
