Ancient post road

Xuanjiaoling

"In the night of tea mountain, all the bells are around the body. The plate is divided into two states, each for a spring in front of the lamp. Qing'e's dance should be wonderful, and purple bamboo shoots should taste each new. I sigh that under the North window, the wine of pollen Typhae is good for sleeping people. " Bai Juyi, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty, wrote the song "night news of jiachangzhou and cuihuzhou tea mountain jinghuiting banquet". It is the "xuanjiaoling" located at the junction of shangru village in Meishan town and Yixing in Jiangsu Province. It is also the "jinghuiting" for tea making and tea tasting in ancient times. As a watershed between Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, it has the potential of "one man is the gateway, ten thousand men are not allowed to open".

2.3.5

Wushilang

Wushilang is located on the north side of the watershed of Laohushan mountain. It covers an area of more than 100 mu from near the hill to near the bottom of the valley. Probably because of a long history, most of the stones are black on the surface, which is called wushilang by the local people. Most of the areas have grown shrubs or moso bamboo, but the core area, which is about 20 mu from the ceiling and below, is still short of grass, with huge stones scattered everywhere. Many huge stones weigh from several tons to dozens of tons and are gray white.

The reason for the formation of the black stone wave is that it was said that a flood happened thousands of years ago, and the entrance of the flood was on the ceiling. Standing on the huge stone on the ceiling, overlooking the wushilang, how mysterious is the origin and power of Hongjiao this time! One of the mysteries is that tiger mountain is 488 meters above sea level. There is no higher peak around it. The ceiling is only 20 meters from the mountain. Where does the underground flood water come from, which can push dozens of tons of huge rocks? The second mystery is that the whole soil of tiger mountain is purple sand soil (the local area is mostly purple sand veins), and the stone in the middle of Shilang is quartz stone. Where do these stones come from? Mystery 3: there is a kind of soft shelled turtle (a kind of soft shelled turtle) in wushilang area, but there is no such soft shelled turtle in nearby villages. It is said that an expert came to wushilang more than ten years ago and found this kind of soft shelled turtle. To his surprise, he said that it only exists in Mount Emei, Sichuan! Its origin is hard to imagine.

There are many mythical and legendary scenic spots in and around wushilang, such as baijiaojing in the ceiling, cock head in dalingtou, legend and strange stone of jipodun, snake spirit stone and eagle mouth stone beside Laohushan Road, which constitute an independent scenic spot. From Jianxi road of shangru village to tiger mountain, young and middle-aged people can reach wushilang in an hour. They can complete the mysterious journey in 2-3 hours. They can enjoy the wonders of modern and ancient times. They can also see Taihu Lake at the top of Tiger Mountain in sunny weather!
