The so-called "born a fairy village, unlimited no light at the peak." The air here is very fresh. It's a natural oxygen bar! We can do a inhalation, deep breathing, product a product!

Treasure Valley is a paradise for treasure seekers to seek their dreams. It is widely spread among the people that the Taiping army once buried 30 carts of treasure here, and treasure seekers have been searching here all the time. According to the local people, a few years ago, several outsiders who claimed to be "the descendants of the leader of the Taiping Army's treasure house guard" came here to explore the treasure with detectors.

Xianren peak is also called Junma peak. Only one horse is drinking Xianren lake water. Meeting with Tianma, Tianma escaped from the stables and came to the mortal world secretly while Sun Wukong was playing. They ate the grass and seedlings of Qianshan people in the poor county at that time, drank the water from Xianren lake used for irrigation, and fattened the fields of the neighboring county, because Qianshan County was poor and the neighboring county was very rich at that time. The immortal uncle Cao fought against injustice and stepped on the horse's ass. He chopped off the horse's tail and made it a stone horse without a tail.

Xianren lake is named after the legend that immortals often play here. The water area is more than 100 mu, the lake is clear, the lake is quiet, and the Baima River flows through, so the crucian carp produced in the lake is delicious and has a long reputation. Looking ahead, there is the beautiful landscape of the scenic spot. Xianren peak is also called Dragon elephant water absorption. It looks like an elephant trunk and absorbs the fairy water in Xianren lake. Elephant is the symbol and mascot of Buddha. It is also the mount of the Bodhisattva. Buddha Sakyamuni's mother. Madame moye once dreamed of an elephant and gave birth to a generation of founders of Buddhism, namely, Prince Siddhartha, Sakyamuni, the leader of our century.

Lingfeng temple, formerly known as e Hu temple and monk Zhifu, was built in the reign of emperor Taihe of Tang Dynasty. Because it is located on the back of an elephant, and the elephant is the mount of Puxian Bodhisattva, it is the way of Puxian. In 1861, it was damaged by war. It was renovated in 1978 and further renovated in 2008. When you enter the temple, you should step over the threshold. Don't step on the threshold. Stepping on the threshold means stepping on the shoulders of the Buddha. It's disrespectful to the Buddha. You can ask for incense here and draw lots

Shuipo village. Zhaimen was built in the Wanli period of Ming Dynasty (1368-1644 AD) and destroyed in the Xianfeng Period of Qing Dynasty (1855 Taiping Heavenly Kingdom). What we see is that it was rebuilt in 2008 on the basis of its original appearance. The steles of shuipo mountain village were salvaged from Xianren lake at the bottom of the village and re installed here, which can be regarded as the original steles.

Looking at the cliff, we can see a beautiful picture of eight immortals swimming in the sea. It is said that eight immortals came to Xianren peak to gather and practice, and left cards here. Baxianyan is a natural cave with eight parallel caves, up to 6 feet high. Eight immortals, including tie Guai Li and LV Dongbin, practiced here. (eight immortals, Tieguai Li, LV Dongbin, Han Xiangzi, he Xianggu, Zhang Guolao, Cao Guojiu, LAN caige and Han Zhongli have different shapes.)

At that time, Wang Haiyang, king of Kang, stationed in shidakai, Taiping army, was a production line of xianrensai. At the crack on the cliff, there are thick wooden cross frames, which are scattered on the cliff. It is the trace left by the salt mining in Xianren village when shidakai troops of Taiping army were stationed there. There are piles of gravel in the cave at the bottom of the mountain. The cave had piles of mud like yellow clay. It is said that at that time, he climbed up the cliff and sat down on the crossbars to chisel saltpetre. He chiseled it down and put it in the mortar for crushing. Then he washed the white saltpetre on the surface of the rock and boiled it in an iron pot. It's a bit similar to the first product, and the dregs under it accumulate into this pile of clay bags. At that time, it was mainly used as gunpowder for earth cannon. There are layers of green features on the cliff. Its main component is nitrate. When the weather is dry, it will burn with a match. It is called "burning stone". This is one of the unique features of our scenic spot.

The picture above shows the She nationality (local minority) (indigenous people) living on the cliff. The local custom is to cry, invite tea and bury the old lady in the cliff. Ancient cliff burial site. In 1983, archaeologists found a well preserved mummy here. As for the Millennium hanging coffin, the burial method is similar to the cliff burial culture in other parts of the country.
