Scenic spots

Kongshan Tianpan

There are 137 peaks in the park, which are full of clouds all year round. The scenery is changeable, just like a "natural bonsai". Therefore, it is called "empty mountain Tianpan".

In the center of tianpen, there are four fox peaks, standing out in jade, echoing each other from afar. The height of Zhongfeng is about 120 meters, square

The circle covers an area of about 5000 square meters. The four walls are as sharp as a chip. At the top of the peak, there are ancient pines and wild flowers all over the place. There are karst caves inside, with an ancient inscription: "the first cave". The other peak is about 140 meters high, covering an area of more than 6000 square meters. Its four steep walls are covered with thorns. The whole mountain is a honeycomb like cave, which can be accessed from East, West, North and south. People nickname it "honeycomb Park" with the ancient inscription "the second cave". In 1933, it was the camp of the Red Army, so the local people also called it "Red Army stronghold". The other two peaks, a "cizhubao" and a farmyard at the foot of the mountain, are the ruins of the "Kongshan military conference" of the Fourth Front Army of the Red Army. This conference proposed the military line of the Fourth Front Army of the Red Army against the "three routes of encirclement and suppression", which is of great significance to the consolidation and development of the Sichuan Shaanxi revolutionary base. A "lotus flower" is composed of six long curtains, covering an area of about 30000 square meters The green lotus is in full bloom. The four fox peaks are staggered to form the main scenery of the basin. The bottom of the basin is surrounded by stone buds. Among them, the "Face Buddha facing the sky" in the northeast is the most spectacular. The scenic spot is more than 2000 meters long and 300 meters wide, with large stone teeth arranged along the slope, 5-6 meters high and 1-2 meters low. From a distant view, you can see Ten Thousand Buddhas lining up to worship the heaven and the earth; from a close view, you can see one stone and one Buddha, with different and lifelike expressions.

The depth of the earth's surface of the "empty mountain and sky basin" is indeed empty. There are many unfathomable holes in the hillside. Even if the mountain torrent breaks out, the flood will disappear in an instant. Interestingly, there is a water cave in Longchi village. The groundwater level is always the same as that of the cave entrance. It will not overflow in rainy season and will not drop in dry season. Local people call it the source of life of the empty mountain. Around the "empty mountain Tianpan", there are 137 peaks, each with its own characteristics. Guabaoyan is located in the north of Tianpan, with an altitude of 2088.6 meters. It is the highest peak of Tongjiang nuoshui scenic spot. The top is round as jewelry, the main peak in the middle protrudes from the platform, and the plaque stands on the cloud. In the middle of the plaque, there are many weeds and vines, which are embroidered into two pieces of Yuanbao in the shape of a wreath. They are colorful and dazzled by the breeze. Along the plaque two measurements, each has a stalagmite, more than 20 meters high, diameter of three meters, into an arched round door. From the arch hole into the inside, there is a rugged ancient road, climbing the peak. Under the peak, there is a lake of more than 5000 square meters, which is as flat as a mirror and unfathomable. It will not dry up after a long time of sunshine, and will not overflow after a long time of rain.

Five Buddhas

The five Buddhas temple is located in the northwest of guabangyan. On the top of the five peaks, there are each a tall and strange stone, which seems to be a plaque on guabangyan by five free looking holy monks wearing monk hats and cassocks.

Xiangqishan is located in the west of Tianpan. Facing the steep, about 1000 meters long hill, the protrusion size of five hills, front copy back, the distance is roughly the same, pine cover top, wrinkles clear. The breeze blows the vegetation, like five green country flags fluttering in the wind. On both sides of the mountain, there are long trenches left by the Red Army.

Seven star lamp

The seven star lamp is located in the south of Kongshan Tianpan. On the 5 square kilometer hill, there are seven hills with different heights and shapes, which are about 120 meters high and only 80 meters low, similar to the old style lamps used by farmers. Because of the dense maple trees growing in the mountain, the maple leaves are as hot as fire in the golden autumn
