The corridors, peaks and white pagodas reflect the water, and the scenery is picturesque. In the southeast, there is a stone bridge connected with the shore, and the beautiful Jingshan and the Forbidden City complement each other. The dark blue light makes a magnificent picture.

In 1751, a stele was set up here to carve characters, and white jade columns were built around it. The four characters "Qiongdao Chunyin" and the other three poems on this monument are written by Emperor Qianlong of Qing Dynasty. On the back of the poem is a rhyme poem: "when Liang Yue moved to shifa'e, he felt a lot about the relics of the past thousand years. Leaning on the rocks, the pines are green, the Dragon scales are blue, and the new phoenix tail is dancing. Yuezhiji was awarded Jiahe because of its success. When the spring is the most urgent, every dark hair HAOGE The poems express his thoughts of agriculture. "Chunyin" symbolizes the breeding or budding state of all things, and naturally breeds business in gardens.

The performers were divided into two teams. The players' clothes were red and yellow. They wore ice skates with "iron bars" and "iron teeth" under them. The players were flying on the ice "If the two teams fight for a leather ball, the winner will get a prize." "The ice skate team is in the west of the liquid pool. It's only a long time ago that it has gathered athletes. It's divided into eight colors of the tent flag. It's on the Qingxiao tower to watch the" ice play ".

According to legend, Qionghua is the flower of qiongshu (huajihua), which grows on Penglai Fairy Island. People can live forever after eating it. This also means that the island is modeled after yaochi fairyland. At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, a signal fort was set up on the top of the mountain. It was garrisoned by the army of eight banners and looked down on the whole city. Once there was a police, it could send out a signal immediately.

Ode to Qionghua Island

Hao Jing, Yuan Dynasty

Kui Chou Hsia, who was born in Yan at the age of 16, ascended Qionghua island from Wanning Palace Museum at the beginning of May. Wandering around and standing in front of the wind, I want to see the rule of Dading and the prosperity of Youjin for a hundred years.

His words are as follows:

The flying swallow in the middle of Xia Dynasty is the most spectacular in Jinyuan. The grandeur of Yu Tianju, the seamount of land. Suddenly the mausoleum flew and FUZOU walked, and saw the tiger and the dragon. Built in Heshuo water, Hao do not know its waves. Deep Qin Qin, spin Kun turn dry, Chicheng purple house, fantasy out of the world. Guangdong is only one of the islands in Qionghua. At the top of Kunlun Mountain, the sea breeze blows furiously. Split the head of the waves and burst down, the end of the water green lotus. Rock plate, stiff and weak face. He is like the top of the mountain, but he walks when he looks at the sun; he is like the back of a whale, but he is cold when he looks at the moon cave. Yao guanglou, Jinbi hook up; cut off the neon drink sea, antagonistic to the sky. Huayang Jiuzhou dust, wind clear rain sprinkle; Liaohai hundred years of implication, gushing
