History and Humanities

The water temple can be literally understood as the Dragon King temple or the temple beside the water. The most distinctive symbol of the water temple town is that "the water flows up the water and the water passes under the water". It is formed by a three-layer zigzag corridor of small water channels. A channel flows from east to west, but there are channels flowing from south to north. Looking down, there are rivers from west to East, and there are channels on the channel. The water in Shenzhen is clear and sweet, carrying the ancient and legend of the town. There are 21 village committees in Shuiyang, guantian, Xinqiao, Xinzhong, Shuimiao, wanzitou, jianganshan, jiangmu, Shiluo, Shimen, Mars, Shiyun, Shuangqiao, Daping, Baiyang, Gaoping, shanjiachong, Jiangping, Shangxing, Zhongshan Tang and xiashantang. After two thousand years of baptism, although the buildings are old, the people in three townships and eight villages have been worshiping Buddhism constantly, and the incense is extremely strong, which is commonly known as "Wanzi village". It is said that as long as anyone worships "Wanzi village", makes a wish and burns incense, he will have a good fortune. Niu Gao, a famous general of the Song Dynasty, once passed wulizhen in Shuimiao. To commemorate him, villagers carved a stone tablet beside the mountain forest path. In the Qing Dynasty, the gentry donated money to build the Shenzhen, which was paved with stone road and planted with trees. It turned the river into a "five mile Gallery". In spring and summer, the ancient trees along the river were shaded and the wind was fresh. It was the best place for people to visit the countryside. If you can stroll in this picturesque scenery, you will never forget to return. Langshan Scenic Spot has mountains and water, but few caves. The karst caves in the water temple make up for this defect. Tired of climbing, tired of the sun, tired of drifting, tourists can go to explore the cave. Among the karst caves in Shuimiao temple, the famous one is the jade girl rock, which is mysterious and profound, full of twists and turns. In the cave, there are stalagmites, stone pillars, stone mantles and stone flowers in all kinds of shapes. The stone statue of "jade girl", with its head in a bun, bee waist and fat buttocks, is graceful and impressive. In the "jade girl Lake", the Yinhe river has no end. When you come out of the cave, you can enjoy the winding mountains, the bamboo forest and the spring. If you are ready to get on the bus and leave, please don't worry. The fragrant orange orchards are looking forward to your visit; the chestnut trees are yellow, and the crimson chestnuts are looking forward to your eyes and touch bayinyan, which echoes with yunvyan, was famous ten years ago. Although it is now overgrown with weeds and looks dilapidated, there is a different world in the cave. The cave is quiet. If you know the music theory, you can play a touching song by carefully tapping the music stone. Those lifelike stalagmite pillars, like the Great Wall, like a fairyland, like Guanyin sitting lotus, fascinating. After you get out of the hole, you will surely sigh. In addition, there is Wanfo garden, which is located in Wanfeng Forest Farm beside Jianghuang highway. The painting of Buddha statues in the garden is peeling off, and the path is deserted. The lonely mountain seems to be looking forward to your visit. Wuli Gallery, eternal cave, magical water temple, permanent charm.
