It is divided into Xiannu gorge, Lengjia gorge and yangtiao gorge. The two sides are luxuriant in forests and beautiful mountains. Waterfall after waterfall, like curtain, like practice, like jade belt; mountain contraction, such as the knife cut together; water narrow, such as the urgency of a bundle of salary.

brief introduction

It is located in Lianjiang section from Lianzhou City to Longtan town

Sitting on the boat, looking up at the gorge and the beach, I have no time for it. The beauty of Huangchuan is only admired by poets and poets of all ages. Liu Yuxi, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, was demoted to be the governor of Lianzhou, leaving a poem that "if Shanxi asks about Lianzhou, only Qingshan painting is inferior.". Lin Huawan, a Jinshi in the Qing Dynasty, left the book "Lianxia Xing" when he was the governor of Lianzhou in the sixth year of Kangxi, which is called "the difference of Lianxia, especially Guiyan". There are few scenic spots in Kyushu that are comparable to each other. Even if the Lianxia gorge and the wuxia gorge are viewed at the same time, they are also beautiful. "

There are many beautiful sceneries in Huangchuan. The ancient "eight sceneries of Huangchuan" are as follows: overlooking Jinfeng, evening mist on Guifeng, beautiful rocks, spring rising in Shuangxi, moon rising in Lengjia, flying rain in Longtan, offering in kunhu, and tranquil forest. When you get off the boat from Lianzhou City and go down the Huangchuan River, you will enjoy the picturesque scenery along the coast; Jianlan village in a paradise, majiantan shiplock, cliff straight as a knife, stone spitting in the wall, water spitting in the stone, hanging down the river, such as Longquan gorge and yangtiao gorge, which are close to each other and can be leaped by goats. In addition, the distinctive boats along the river, the shrimp boats with shrimp cages on both sides, and the small and exquisite bamboo rafts that hold you up as fast as flying will make you very happy.

There are written records of Huangchuan culture, which originated in the autumn of the fifth year of Yuanding in the Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Fubo general Lu bode and General Yang Pu of huilouchuan out of Guiyang to go down to Huangshui (Huangchuan) to hunt down Lu Jia and Ling Biao Siping. From then on, Huangchuan culture began to spread. Shuangxi Pavilion, built by Wang Dabao, one of the eight scenic spots in Huangchuan, can be seen in the spring of Shuangxi. On the steep wall of the North Bank of Lengjia gorge, there are four big characters with a square of one foot, "Lengjia ancient gorge", and next to them are mottled small characters which can be recognized vaguely. It records that in the winter of 1220, the 13th year of Jiading in the Southern Song Dynasty, Li Hua, a judicial officer, and Zhang Yuan, a local "wise old man", adopted the strategy of "going up with fire" The deeds of digging the Lengjia gorge. After the Lengjia gorge, you will see a natural stage by the river. It is said that there were many troupes here, and the passing boats were berthing in the river to watch the opera. After the Three Gorges, the valley is open, the flat field is a few hectares, the ridge is half suspended, and the waterfall is like rain. This is the famous eight sceneries of Huangchuan: Longtan flying rain. Next to it is a "Longgong Temple". When Han Yu demoted the order of Yangshan mountain, he stayed at Longgong temple at night, leaving "sulonggong Beach" engraved on the cliff.

Entering Longquan gorge first, you can see more than ten waterfalls (up to dozens in rainy days) flowing down the crimson cliff into the river. The scene is very spectacular. The stalactite, which is usually seen in caves, is exposed here. What's more amazing is that there is a stalactite that drips water all year round, like a horse urinating. Therefore, Longquan gorge is also known as "Ma Niao gorge". Next is lengqi gorge, with high mountains and deep gorge on both sides of the river, and jagged rocks. It is said that several fairies visited the gorge in the Qin Dynasty. When they met wind and rain here, one of them turned into a stone. Therefore, the gorge is also called Zhennv gorge. The last section is yangtiao gorge, which means that goats can jump from one side of the river to the other side of the river. It is more exaggerated than the "Tiger Leaping Gorge" in Yunnan, and its narrow degree can be imagined. This section of the river gradually narrowed, the river became dark green, and the stalactites hanging from the gorge wall seemed to be within reach, which was very dangerous. There is a natural stone platform beside the gorge. Yang DA and Huang Junying, two famous Cantonese crosstalk artists, saw it when they visited the gorge, and then boarded the stone platform to perform a crosstalk in front of the green mountains and waters.

Introduction to scenic spots

Lin Huawan, the governor of the Qing Dynasty, said that "the Pearl of Lianxia is magnificent and unique. It is rare to compare with the scenic spots of Jiuzhou. Only Wushan and Wuxia can be seen together." In ancient times, Lianxia, also known as Huangchuan Three Gorges, was composed of yangtiao gorge, Lengjia gorge and Xiannv gorge.

The masterpieces of nature's art have carved the mountains and rivers here into a corridor of poetry and painting, which combines the adventure of "Yangtze River Gorge" and the beauty of "Lijiang River landscape Wonderland". There are dozens of waterfalls on both sides of the Strait flying down from the top of the mountain. They are as beautiful as fog and colorful neon under the sunshine. It really has the artistic conception of "piling silver snow on the river and jumping pearls into the boat with white waves". The cliffs on both sides of the river are strange, straight as a knife. There are stones in the middle of the cliffs. Water is spitting out from the rocks, and the river is suspended in the air, like fog and gauze. There are the famous Ma Niao gorge, ancient Zhufu Road, Lengjia gorge, ancient stage and so on, as well as the eternal quatrains "Su long Gong Tan" left by Han Yu, the great literary master of the Tang Dynasty: "the sound of the beach is more suppressed when the vast is restored to the soup. The surging waves are like frost. Dream of light heart halo, night residual rain send cool. How to speak in the morning is half homesick. "

Fairy Gorge

The river course is narrow, the bay is urgent, and the cliffs on both sides are strange. It is said that the seven fairies in the sky saw the beautiful scenery of the Three Gorges in Huangchuan, so they made an appointment to visit on July 7. Suddenly, a strange wind came and swept away six fairies. The youngest fairy has been crying for her sister by the river. The river water of fairy gorge is the tears of fairy. "Fairy gorge" got its name from this.

Yujia Gorge

It is famous for its majestic and precipitous scenery. There is a huge stone on the gorge mountain that looks like Zhennv, so it is also called Zhennv gorge. This gorge has always been the throat of Lianjiang waterway. The running water is breathless and thunderous. When Han Yu was demoted to Yangshan County Magistrate in the Tang Dynasty, he traveled here and wrote the poem Zhennv gorge. The poem said: "the spring of Jiangpan gorge is full of breath, the thunder wind is fighting, and the fish and Dragons flee. The suspended current bombarded the water mansion, and the torrent of water swept the clouds. The waves fight with each other, and the rushing waves make a quick sound. The floating boat is full of stones and tiles, and the life is light

According to historical records, in the second year of Jiatai (1202) of the Southern Song Dynasty, it rained cats and dogs for days, the water level of Lianjiang River rose sharply, and Lianzhou City was a vast ocean. After the flood, the river channel of lengqixia was silted up, and Lianzhou was desolate since then. Eighteen years later, Yang Rong took office as the prefect of Lianzhou. He ordered Li Hua, the quick witted judicial officer, to control the flood. At that time, gunpowder had not yet been widely used in rock blasting. He drew up a plan of "attack with fire on the upper side and take with weir on the lower side": first, build a dam to block the river upstream and store water for reserve; then, in winter, pile up dry firewood and grass around the reef to light a fire; after the fire, immediately open the dam, and the hot rock is washed by the frozen river, cracking like thunder and gravel; then organize migrant workers to excavate Clean up the river bed. After three winters of repeated implementation, the lengqi gorge was finally opened, and Lianzhou was again prosperous. Now, there are still four big characters "Leng Qi Gu Xia" written by Zhang Qi, the official Minister of the Song Dynasty. The rows of small characters beside the big characters record the scene of the opening of the gorge at that time.

Yangtiao Gorge

The shortest and narrowest gorge in the Lianjiang River is less than one kilometer long, and its bank is only more than 30 meters wide. It is said that a goat lives on the right side of the river downstream. Every day, he has to jump to the mountain on the left to eat grass. One day, when it jumped over the canyon, there was a loud noise and the cliff collapsed. Unable to jump back home, the goat stood on the top of the mountain on the left every day and turned into a stone statue year after year. It is said that the goat like stone on the left mountain is the goat who was eager to go home. So it's called yangtiao gorge.

Because the canyon is narrow, there is no cloud water in the canyon. Here, the river is dark green, the river is gentle, the water surface is like a mirror, the rocks are jagged, and the bank wall seems to be open and close. When the boat passed by, it seemed that there was a danger of being caught between the two walls at any time. Looking up from the bow of the boat, on the eaves like gorge wall, there are stone stalagmites of heavenly gods hanging in various shapes. In addition, waterfalls are pouring down, the sound is like thunder, the torrent is churning, and the waterway is misty. There is indeed the artistic conception of "it is suspected that silver snow is piled on the river, and white waves jump into the boat.".

Shuangxi Pavilion

The confluence of the three rivers in Liannan into lianjiang is on Guilin island. During the Shaoxing period of the Southern Song Dynasty (1131-1162), Wang Dabao, the governor of Lianzhou, built the Shuangxi Pavilion here, and later changed it into a pavilion. In the vast waves, the pavilion building is indistinct. Along Shuangxi River, you can see the stone steps, sand beach, floating bridge in the river near the bank, the old house, ancient pagoda and Jinfeng mountain in the distance, with poetic and picturesque scenery.

Shuangxi Pavilion sits in the southwest and faces northeast, with the main gate facing Shuangxi. The water of the stream is clear and slow. When there is water in the third spring, if you stand in the pavilion and watch the scenery, you can see the ups and downs of Shuangxi and the vastness of Jinya, which make up a strange picture. It is known as "Shuangxi spring rising" and is one of the eight sceneries in Huangchuan. According to the records of Lian county annals, Zhang Shi, a scholar of the Southern Song Dynasty, once wrote a poem describing the scenery of "spring rising of Shuangxi River" with the name of "Jingfu" and "nangan": "spring rising of the river, and the two branches are rippling. The fish and the dragon race to step, the waves even misty mang. When the pedestrians want to join the river, they sigh the river wide. We'll ride the mighty boat for us. " During the Jingtai period of the Ming Dynasty, Kong Yong, the right Minister of the Ministry of work, praised Shuangxi in the poem of "the river is divided into two zones and the spring flows".

Previously, people from Longtan and jiupi mountain villages had to go through the "Shuangxi Pavilion" along a bluestone road when they came to the city. They were tired of walking and had a rest in the "Shuangxi Pavilion". From the pavilion, they could not only see the "Shuangxi" where the two rivers converge, but also enjoy the beautiful scenery of Lianzhou City. When building Shuangxi Pavilion, skillful craftsmen chiseled a pair of "Shuangxi Pavilion" with two stone stones one meter long
