Important scenic spots

① Autumn moon in ancient pavilion

"Autumn Moon in ancient pavilion" is one of the "eight sceneries of Badong", also known as Qiufeng Pavilion. It was built when Kou Zhun, a famous Prime Minister of Song Dynasty, was appointed magistrate of Badong County at the age of 19, so it is also known as Kou Gong Pavilion. Located in the southeast of the new County, 176 meters above sea level, more than 10 meters high. The autumn moon in the ancient pavilion, facing the picturesque JINZI mountain and the endless Yangtze River, is very spectacular. The ancient pavilion is of wood structure, with red pillars and colored tiles, two-story cornices, sharp corners, carved beams and painted buildings, and exquisite workmanship. There is an inscription of "eternal" on the top of the pavilion.

There are many beautiful legends about Kou Zhun, a famous politician in the Northern Song Dynasty. According to the annals of the county, "the autumn wind pavilion was built in the left of the old county government by the Duke of kolai.". The original site is jiuxianping in Jiangbei, which survived in Qiandao period of Southern Song Dynasty, and later moved to Jiangnan with the county. Kou Zhun was a 20-year-old magistrate of Badong County. He was honest and upright, advised the people to farm, planted cypresses and mulberry, and was respected by people. In memory of Kou Gong, Sheng Gao, the magistrate of the Ming Dynasty, built an autumn wind Pavilion on this site. Later, it was repaired several times in the early years of Kangxi, Jiaqing and Tongzhi, and rebuilt in the 24th year of Guangxu. The reason why Qiufeng pavilion has been preserved and constantly improved is that people love Kou Zhun and respect his integrity and style of observing the people.

Qiufeng pavilion has also become a place for poets and poets to invite friends, express their thoughts on ancient times, recite poems and draw pictures. It has more than 20 poems to be recorded. Su Cheng, the imperial envoy of the Northern Song Dynasty poet, said: "people know that the public benefits are in Badong, but they don't know the achievements of the three dynasties. In ordinary times, where is the boat, and Jiangting is still near the autumn wind.". Lu, a poet of the Southern Song Dynasty, traveled to Badong, moored a boat and climbed to the pavilion. He wrote "autumn wind Pavilion" in his poem: "the river and autumn wind make Song Yu sad, and the chief officer repairs MAOCI himself. Who can predict that his life is poor, and wax tears pile up for another time."

It is said that some people hold a candle to explore the cave. After burning seven and a half sticks, there is no end to it. It is so deep that it can't find its source. So it's called passive fairy cave.

There are streams gushing out along the cave, jade beads splashing, water murmuring, flying down like silver, forming a waterfall at the entrance, like a white train whistling into the Yangtze River. With the change of time in the morning, middle and evening, the flow rate of the spring in the cave alternates with slow, rapid and slow, and the color changes with clear, muddy and yellow, which is really unpredictable. Stalactites and stalagmites are distributed alternately in the cave. There are holes in the passive hole, which are scattered, just like a labyrinth. There are also many cliff stone carvings along the mountain road and between the cave walls, praising the cave as a "passive immortal spring" and "holy land of Lingshan".

Most tourists also chant poems here. There is a poem that describes the passive Cave: "when is this cave located in Liexian. Slant mark scattered wet, deep morning dew, far potential flying, Breaking Dawn smoke. A crystal curtain cloud hanging outside, thousands of miles of snow training ridge head suspension. After listening to the song, I suspect there is another day in the mountains. "
