When you look up to the southeast, you can see that there are many strange peaks in the distance, and the waterfalls are like the Milky Way hanging upside down. A beautiful picture of nature comes into your eyes. You can't help but think of Li Bai's poem "the Milky way is falling down three thousand feet.". Many literati in the past dynasties came here to explore the secluded scenery, to entertain the forest and spring, to see the scenery and create many beautiful poems.

Mao Yikui, a hermit in the Qing Dynasty, was intoxicated with the beautiful scenery of Daixian and Youlou. He expressed his love for the beautiful scenery of nature and his extraordinary thoughts. He wrote that "if you are quick enough to search for seclusion and happiness, the wonders are not only springs; if there are mountains, they are all illusory, and there is no wood in them.".

There are thousands of clouds and birds on the cliff, and the blue sky is hanging. Floating life can avoid things, slightly drunk is also floating.

From chishikou, along a winding and deep mountain, you can go up the stream. Along the way, the trees are gloomy, the air is fresh, the road turns around, and the birds sing in the valley.

Looking up from the bottom of the waterfall, you can see a cliff rising like a knife. It is like a towering natural wall, steep and precipitous.

The two places are particularly spectacular. On a sunny day, Daixian waterfall looks like a huge pearl curtain drooping and silver glittering; on a cloudy day, the waterfall splashes into fog and is covered with layers of gauze, like a tender girl, whose shadow is faint and hidden.

In the early morning, standing on the hillside of Feixian mountain, you can see the dense fog in the valley. The waterfall is so complicated that you are in a fairyland like floating clouds. Sometimes the mountain wind suddenly makes, the sky chaos cloud flies across, the mountainside fog sea tumbles, listens to the waterfall roar, just like a thousand troops, shocks the human soul.

In spring, standing at the bottom of the waterfall, there are ten thousand Ren waterfalls surrounded by mountain flowers. It's like being in the water curtain cave of journey to the West. You feel relaxed and happy, and you feel exhausted.

Legend and myth

It's popular among the people that the sisters of Ma's three immortals fly to Feixian mountain to yearn for the world. One of them is Dai Xian, and the other two Fairies Fly to Yinping mountain and feifeng mountain respectively (near Jiuzhu village and Shanghu village, Shuikou Township, Dehua County).

The formation of Dai Xian waterfall and Youlou waterfall has a fascinating fairy tale. It is said that a long time ago, three fairies of Mahalanobis traveled around famous mountains by riding the white dragon. Seeing this place, Zhong lingyuxiu is so beautiful that he can't forget to return. They use spring water to wash yarn, and the spring water immediately turns into a stream. They gargle with spring water, and the spring water immediately turns into a waterfall. There is a local farmer's wife, Zheng, who lives alone. She flies to Xianshan mountain to cut firewood in the daytime and lights up the lamp to spin at night. One day, Zheng was felling trees on the cliff. Due to excessive fatigue and dizziness, she fell off the cliff. When the fairy saw it, she rode a white dragon to lift her out of danger. The fairy saved the people. Later, villagers built pavilions at the precipice of Zheng's cliff. Feixian Pavilion is built on the cliff, next to the valley. It is like a bird's wing. The pavilion is located in the forest of green trees. The daisian Pavilion and the oil leakage pavilion are arched on the left and right, which is breathtaking. Standing outside the pavilion, looking down, flying jade splashing beads, white smoke rolling, steep abyss, people feel guilty, dizzy, creepy. It's true that "when you look up at the Bijian River, you will see the clouds passing down; when you know that the Milky way is coming, you will never catch the current.". Fairy riding white dragon, mountain half every swaying; stone mountain three yuan Jun, Dan Cheng all Gu di. In the game, the vast rock is as long as the steps are built; the empty Pavilion is embedded outside, and the sky is clear. " (poems by Li Daotai in Qing Dynasty)

A few years ago, the local people opened a 34 km long channel between the cliffs to irrigate more than 300 mu of terraced fields at the waist of the mountain with waterfall water, ushering in bumper harvests in successive years. This "artificial Tianhe" makes the waterfalls more brilliant and the mountains and rivers more colorful. The local people happily and mysteriously told the tourists that, according to legend, there was a fairy poem on the Feixian Pavilion in the past: "happy, happy, rich, rich, green dragon time, people from afar come." Fairy these prophecies, today is not a reality? Look, waterfall and smile in welcoming distant tourists!

The seeker is drunk and sings cloud sleep.

In what year is Deng suspended?

Today's journey brings flying immortals.

Love on the wall,

Looking back on another day of setting sun.

2、 Mao Yikui, a hermit in the Qing Dynasty, wrote:

I'd like to have fun,

The wonder is more than a spring;

All mountains are illusory,

There is no wood in the world.

There are thousands of clouds and birds on the cliffs,

The sky is blue.

Floating life can avoid trouble,

Slightly drunk, but also floating.

3、 Li Daotai's poems in Qing Dynasty:

On the top, the Bijian river is suspended, and on the bottom, the clouds are gone;

We know that the Milky way has never been connected.

Fairy riding white dragon, mountain half every swaying;

Shishan three yuan Jun, Dan Cheng are Gu di.

Game vast rock, thousands of feet, such as step masonry;

The empty Pavilion connects with the sky
