Qingquan is a place where mountains and cliffs are cut, waterfalls at the top are sprinkled, flowers and plants are set off, and trees are verdant A goddess passed by here, and saw that the spring water was flowing and clear. The scenery here was pleasant and the environment was beautiful. It was a rare and secluded place, so she came here to take a bath. After the goddess left, the spring was stained with Fairy Spirit, and the spring became extremely fragrant and soft. If a mortal woman can get this spring water to wash her face, her skin will become delicate, white and smooth. As a result, the local daughters often go to great lengths to wash their faces with the water from the holy spring. Over time, all the girls here are beautiful and charming.

Yanzhi gorge not only has a magical and beautiful legend, but also has a precipitous and beautiful scenery. Because it is located in a remote and quiet place, and adheres to the land of no competition outside the world, this wonderful scenery in the world has always been "kept in the boudoir unknown", and the world rarely sees her "face". Winding up the Bangsha River, the river is surging, riparian rocks collapse clouds, the road is rugged, surrounded by mountains and water, intermittently, which means "nine twists and turns". So that visitors have to follow the scenery, sometimes trapped in the "mountains and rivers, doubt no way" of confusion, and sometimes intoxicated in the "another village" of gratification. Of course, there is no lack of "ten Li Gallery" scenery on the road, which makes people forget to return and relieve the fatigue. Especially worth mentioning is the peony Bay. This place is named for the peony growing all over the mountains and fields. In May, the peony flowers are in full bloom, the whole powan Bay is colorful, the mountain flowers are brilliant, the whole valley is fragrant, refreshing, and intoxicating. The feeling of intoxication can only be divine and unspeakable!

Although the road is "winding path leading to seclusion", if you reach Yanzhi gorge, you can feel the intoxicating scenery of "mountain light pleasing birds, pool shadow empty people". Green mountains and waters, green branches and cypresses, birds singing and flowers fragrant, swallows dancing and cicadas singing All people are intoxicated with the color of the mountain light and the scenery of the canyon. All of them are open-minded, pleasant and refreshing!

Standing at the mouth of the gorge, looking around, I can see the black tiger forest stretching for tens of miles, with pine waves, green waves and green mountains. In the distance, there are steep peaks and towering mountains. In the near, there are small bridges, flowing water and green trees. If you walk in the mountains, sometimes open-minded and open, when the children are narrow and quiet. If you stand on the Cliff Road, you can see the vastness of the world and the grandeur of the mountains. When you climb the mountain, you can only see the outline of the mountains, but you can't see the waves of the pines. If you walk on the path of Linyin, it's green and overcast. You can see green vines and branches everywhere.

As you enter the yanzhixia pass, you can gradually walk in. The trees are dense, the plants are different, and the scenery is more charming. Because there are few people coming and going, the road is narrow and difficult to walk. At first, you can find some rugged trails, and visitors can look around the mountains and jump over the peaks. Later, you can only shuttle through the jungle, climb on the steep slope, with moss green steps at your feet and twigs on your head. You can imagine the difficulty of the journey.

The water of Yanzhi gorge is even more charming. Although there is no way to confirm the exact location of the eye spring, the water of Yanzhi gorge, whether it is a mountain stream, a small spring, a flowing waterfall, a majestic River, or a warm river, has different styles and unique charm. They all give this magical gorge incomparable vitality.

As the saying goes: how high is the mountain, how high is the water. No matter where you walk in the canyon, you can always see the water and hear its whisper. As soon as you enter the mouth of the gorge, you can hear the empty mountain ring the stream and go away looking for the sound. You can also see that it looms and is covered by the branches on both sides of the Strait. Further inside, the water becomes more clear and colorful. According to the water, the water also follows the mountain, showing different styles. In the flat place, it forms a flat lake. In the steep place, it stirs up waves. Sometimes it falls into a waterfall, sometimes it splashes with jade beads, sometimes it looks like a veil People have to admire the magic of nature. The only square water sky is as moving as a rabbit, as quiet as a nun, as angry as King Kong, and as warm as a Bodhisattva, which gives birth to such different customs.

There is another place in Yanzhi gorge called Longtan. There is no need to visit it in person. Just by imagination, it lives in the remote end of a remote area, hidden in the deep of a secluded valley. Naturally, it is much more secluded and quiet. In the local area, there are also many mysterious and strange legends about Longtan. In addition, the distance to Longtan is far away, there are many thorns, the road is dangerous, and people rarely visit it, which adds a bit of mysterious charm to it.
