Bashui River

Bashui river is named after a short mountain stream formed by eight zhangshui rivers. Bashui river is located in the south of Laoshan mountain. It is one of the highest rivers in Laoshan mountain. It originates from tianchading, and Tianquan is one of its birthplaces. Bashui River belongs to Shangqing scenic area, which is a must for tourists to visit Laoshan. Bashui river flows to Taiqing Bay, and the valley is full of many large pools, which is unique among many rivers in Laoshan. The most spectacular is Huahua prodigal son. The water flowing from the top of the mountain is evenly spread on the hard and smooth stone wall and gurgles. Here is bashui. The water evaporated from the ocean meets the barrier of laoding, turns into rain and fog, and falls down in the upper reaches of the bashui River, which makes the water source of the bashui River continuous, and is known as "xiaojiangnan".

brief introduction

This mountain Zhang, diarrhea in between the two mountains, the bottom of the big stone base, water from the rock gap in the Pentium and down. Up the stream, turn around the depression, face a waterfall on the cliff, rush down from the top of the rock, and fall in vain, flying down in the air, forming an octagonal shape, just matching with the eight streams that meet. Because this is a precipice, after the heavy rain, the mountain torrent broke out, the water volume of the waterfall increased rapidly, rolled and soared out of the stone wall, like two jade dragons flying across the sky, stirring up the water mist all over the sky, like rain and snow. In particular, under the sunlight, it is diffused outside the waterfall. The "scaly shell" flashes like a white dragon playing in the water. It is a spectacle. It is known as the "Longtan spray rain" of Laoshan's twelve sceneries.

LAN Zhenzhi once praised the poem "Jade Dragon Waterfall on the bashui River", saying:

The cliffs are 100 feet high, and the green mountains are close to each other,

On the top of the cliff, Yulong sprays water from the West River,

The foam of the afterwave floats with the wind, like a pearl falling from the ring,

Spring should be the source of direct access, looking up at the spring is not against the near.

legend

There are many wonderful legends about Longtan waterfall. It is said that there is a jade dragon under the Jade Emperor who specializes in clouds and rain. Once, Yulong made a mistake in traveling, sowing the wrong rain, and crossing the five oceans and four seas, he found this beautiful and pleasant place in Bayun, Laoshan, and the upper reaches of ShuiHe river. One day, on the hillside, Yulong saw a beautiful girl in red and green, and he was in love with her. In the middle of the night, Yu Long takes advantage of the wind to his daughter's courtyard, turns into a handsome young man, and quietly walks into her embroidery room. They are married for a hundred years. This matter was known by the Heavenly Master. One day, Master Zhang was wearing a Taoist robe. Seeing that he couldn't fight with Tianshi Zhang, Yulong turned back and picked up the wooden fish in his hand. In the name of quietness, he came to find Yulong to fight for his daughter-in-law. A spring with a thick bowl mouth, with a roar, came from the stone to the underground palace. Just listen to "Gudong" coming out from the bottom. The spring water weaves into a wide and long waterfall, which drives Tianshi Zhang down the cliff. From then on, the Yulong couple settled down in the bottomless puddle. Because the water comes from Yulong's underground palace, people call this bay Longtan and that waterfall Longtan waterfall.

On May 4, 1985, mountain torrents broke out after the rain, and the water potential of Longtan waterfall increased sharply. The water overflowed the bridge, and the depth of the bridge was too deep. More than 200 tourists were blocked in the north of the bridge, and some people were besieged by mountain torrents, endangering their lives. More than 40 cadres and soldiers of the people's Liberation Army, public security officers and policemen, students, workers and peasants were present. Regardless of their personal safety, they bravely rescued the besieged people and made them all out of danger, In order to commemorate the heroic deeds of Shi Jian and other rescue people, Qingdao Municipal People's Government erected a monument here and rebuilt the bridge.
