Wanglong Lake

Wanglong Lake

Wanglong lake, formerly known as the Chapan reservoir, is named because the lake and the surrounding mountains are shaped like dragons. It is located in zhangpengzhai, Chapan Township, 7 kilometers south of Yingshan County in northern Sichuan, with a water area of about 1 square kilometers. Throughout the lake, such as the Dragon Pentium, dragon head north, dragon body lying, East and West and South three tail, meandering. Looking straight up, the waves are bright, the clear water is clear, and the reflection of Cangshan Mountain is full of the charm of Xia Tian Shen. Looking around, you can see that the mountain is lush and green, and the forest is full of color. In spring, there is a vast and heroic song. This static and dynamic scenery, water and sky, constitutes a "thousand miles tea lake water color, smoke with blue moon" intoxicating picture.

brief introduction

Wanglong lake covers an area of about four square kilometers, of which the water area is about one square kilometer. The reservoir is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with magnificent mountains and beautiful peaks. The highest peak is 581 meters above sea level. The lake is clear, blue as green, deep and quiet, with a maximum depth of 30 meters. Because the shape of the lake and the surrounding mountains is like a dragon, it is named "Wanglong Lake". It is located in zhangpengzhai, a town seven kilometers away from Yingshan County. In April 2000, the Provincial Forestry Department approved Wanglong Lake as a forest park. The lake is surrounded by mountains on Wednesday. From Longwang mountain to Duantou temple and then to Jianshanzi, Yanmian mountain is like a giant dragon, standing on one side; from zhangpengzhai in Chaqi mountain to sitting shigu, it's like a long dragon lying on the ridge, and the sky roaring; around the lake, there are countless hills, forming more than 40 Peninsula, which are gorgeous and strange, like a small dragon, like a lion, like a drum, like a bamboo shoot. Accompanied by mountains and rocks are the lush forests, flowers, birds and animals, dark green cypress, deep indigo pine forest, green ginkgo, green mountains. The forest is ten miles around, with wild animals and wild interests.

The natural scenery is beautiful and unique, and the cultural landscape has a long history. It is said that during the Three Kingdoms period, Zhang Fei, a general of Shu Kingdom, was on the march to fight. When he passed Wanglong lake and climbed over Leigong rock, because the rock was steep and cut like a chop, Zhang Fei only grasped the stone to climb the mountain. Where he reached, his fingers were deeply sunk, and his finger marks are still visible, so he named it "handlebar stone". When Zhang Fei climbed up the mountain, he was so tired that he was sweating that he sat down on a huge stone. When he got up, there was a big resistance left on the stone. The seal could hold about 20 people, so people called it "sitting stone stock". Zhang Fei left the "sitting stone unit" and came to the top of the mountain. He put on the flag of Shuai character and commanded thousands of troops to fight bravely, which made the enemy run away in confusion. When Zhang Fei took the shuaizi flag, he left a stone cave more than two meters deep on the top of the mountain, and also left the interesting talk of "inserting the flag mountain". Zhangpengzhai is the head of ZhouFeng lake. Its name is a vivid story. Once upon a time, Zhang Xianzhong, the "eight kings", wanted to wipe out the Wanglong Laker when he suppressed Sichuan. A local warrior named Zhang Peng, Zhongyi Yingwu, immediately led the people to flee to the mountain, built a stronghold with stones, and guarded the stronghold, so that the people survived. Later generations named this mountain "Zhang pengzhai" in memory of Zhang Peng's loyalty and bravery.

Throughout the scenic area

Looking at Wanglong lake, it is like a dragon lying horizontally, with its head facing north and its body stretching southeast. It turns into a trident and meanders away like three water dragons. Its posture is lifelike and fascinating. Surrounded by Cangshan Mountain around the lake, more than 30 peaks are rolling, just like several Wolong. From Longwang mountain to Duantou temple and then to Jianshanzi, the mountain range is about 20 kilometers long, like a giant dragon occupying one side; from zhangpengzhai to Chaqi mountain and then to zuishigu, it is like a long dragon lying on the ridge, whistling up in the sky; around the lake, there are numerous hills, forming more than 40 islands with different mountains and unique appearance, especially Wolong Island, facing the lake embankment, is like a little dragon just out of its mother's mind, lively and lovely. The three draught dragons are connected as a whole, and depend on the three water dragons, male and female. They are company all the year round. I hope that Longhu can take the spirit of heaven and earth, absorb the essence of the sun and moon, and breed many strange rocks. It is really a mountain, a shape, a Shi Yijing. Accompanied by these strange rocks, there are forests, flowers, birds and animals all over the mountains. The verdant cypress forest, with pine, camphor, Phoebe, gingko, red bean trees and other 10 kinds of trees shoulder to shoulder rub waist, peacefully get along; the dazzling wild roses, with peony, chrysanthemum, orchid, YINGSHANHONG competing for splendor, each other into fun; the flocks of black chicken, azalea, cuckoo, owl and other birds flying in the forest, singing melodious; the bird Wild boar, hare, Fox and beaver are running and jumping on the hillside. They are lovely. The harmonious scenery of mountains and forests, together with the farmhouses on the hillside, the curl of cooking smoke, the sound of school reading, the sound of fishing boats, the laughter of mountain girls and the folk songs of villagers, make up a simple and pure pastoral beauty, and add to the charm and charm of looking at the strange mountains and rocks of Longhu.

Boating on the lake

When you go boating on the lake, you can have a panoramic view of Cangshan. The scenery of the lake and the mountains is diverse, and the water and the sky are the same. The mountain is alive because of the water, and the water is quiet because of the mountain. This is an intoxicating picture of "the water color of the tea tray lake, with smoke and blue moon". Especially the green islands around the lake, the situation is different, as if to Wanglong Lake tied to a surging wave of jade belt; far sighted, a number of green mountains and peaks winding ups and downs, green pines and cypresses, swaying in the wind, as if to build a long dyke for Wanglong Lake; gaze, Wanglong lake with the width and depth of the lake changes, from green to green, from green to quiet. People praise Qingcheng Mountain as "secluded in the world". Compared with Wanglong lake, it is more subtle, more profound, more hierarchical and more poetic. Climbing from the boat, overlooking the lake, there is a unique scene in front of us: enjoy the lake in the morning, the lake is quiet, and the white fog rises, which makes us feel vigorous; enjoy the lake at noon, the lake is quiet, deep, and sparkling, which makes us feel heroic; enjoy the lake in the evening, which makes us feel boundless. Especially when enjoying the lake at sunrise, the morning glow and mist blend together, the rooster singing and bird singing interweave, carp and otter roam in the lake, crane and Bailu fly happily on the lake, weaving a three-dimensional picture of harmonious movement and quiet, full of seclusion, which makes people feel like they are in the Fairy Lake, drunk in the fairyland and happy not to return.

When you travel by boat, you can lift up the net of your thoughts and pick up moving legends. It is said that long ago, there were two dragons lying in Longwang mountain and zhangpengzhai mountain. The males and females looked forward to meeting. One day, there was a sudden storm. The dragon of Zhang pengzhai took advantage of the wind and broke a local bridge. The wind and rain stopped suddenly, and finally did not get together. Therefore, today's deep green Wanglong lake is formed. In the past few years, the local people have repaired the bridge many times, all of which were broken by floods. Lu Ban heard that in order to benefit the people, he wanted to transport stones from the mountain behind Wanglong lake to rebuild the bridge, but he failed because of the high mountains and dangerous roads. To this day, there is still a broken bridge under the lake, called Jielong bridge.

Mountaineering Tour

When you cross Jielong bridge, you can abandon the boat and climb the mountain. When you look up, you can see the legendary scenic spots such as handlebar stone, sitting stone stocks, and inserting flag mountain. One by one, old and fresh stories come to your face. It is said that when Zhang Fei of Shu Kingdom in the Three Kingdoms was marching and fighting, he passed Wanglong lake and climbed Leigong rock. Because the rock was steep and cut like a chop, Zhang Fei had to grasp the stone to climb the mountain. Wherever he reached, his five fingers were deep in it, and the mark of his fingers is still clear, so he named it "handlebar stone". After climbing up the mountain, Zhang Fei was so tired that he was sweating that he sat down on a huge stone. When he got up, a big hole was left in the stone. The seal could hold about 20 people, so people called it "sitting stone stock". Zhang Fei left the "sitting stone unit" and came to the top of the mountain. He put on the flag and commanded thousands of troops to fight bravely, causing the enemy to flee in confusion. Zhang Fei won a great victory and immediately went north. When he took the shuaizi flag, a stone cave more than two meters deep was left on the top of the mountain. He left an interesting talk about "inserting the flag mountain".

Zhang pengzhai is the first of the peaks, and it has been a must for military strategists in the past dynasties. It is said that Zhang Xianzhong, the "eight kings", wanted to kill the Wanglong Laker when he suppressed Sichuan. Zhang Peng, a local warrior, immediately led the people to escape to the mountain and built a stronghold with stones. He guarded the stronghold according to the danger, so that the people survived. In memory of Zhang Peng's loyalty and bravery, later generations named this mountain "Zhang pengzhai". Looking for the ancient along the mountain path and following the strange rocks, you can find beautiful legends and moving stories wherever you look: Immortal cave, Guanyin hall, shuwanggou, woniugang, Huangyan Cave Each mountain and stone has its own spirit, and each scene has its own canon.
