Outdoor Travel Notes | Yongkang Jiuxieba Beach

Jiuxiebatan is located in the deep mountain canyon of Jiandaoyan and Jiuxie Mountain at the junction of Yongkang and Dongyang. It brings together the mountains and rivers of Huangnikeng, Huanggansunkeng, Shangchanhoushan, Jiuxie Mountain, and the southern slope of Monkstone. And the north rushes straight down. The mountains are wild mountains, the ridges are wild ridges, and the water is green water. There are nine pools from the foothills to the top. Steps down, it is said to be the place where dragons live. It is known as the Nine Catharsis Beach in the world and is one of the ten scenic spots in Yongkang.

This is a world of rare waterfalls, with dense forests covering the sky on both sides, and a small path in the middle extending downward like a narrow corridor. The waterfalls pour down along the gray-white rocks to the bottom of the valley. The clear stream flows through the rocky jungle, and when it hits the cliff, it sings and falls, forming a beautiful waterfall. At the lower end of each waterfall, there is a pool of deep blue water. The pool is shaped like a pot, with a small mouth and a big bottom, and is unfathomable.

The first leak has a drop of about 10 meters. The pebbles in the pool have been washed by water for a long time and are shaped like ancient round stones called weights, so it is called "Weighing Weight Pool". The second leakage is called "Mi Weitan", the third leakage is called "Caojitan", and the fourth leakage is called "Jinsitan".

The fifth channel has a small and narrow entrance and a height of about 20 meters. The water in the pool is blue and clear. Its depth is unpredictable, its location is hidden, the terrain is steep, and the waterfall scenery is the most spectacular. It is called Dragon King Pool. Even in years of prolonged drought, the water in this pool will never dry up. The sixth, seventh and eighth floods were all flowing down, with rain and mist, flying beads and splashes of jade, and the atmosphere was endless.

The Ninth Cave is about 20 meters high and 3 meters wide. It pours down. The wide waterfall pours down, and the valley roars with endless echoes. There is a water pool under the water pool, which is tens of square meters wide. There are cliffs on both sides of the water pool outlet, east and west. The peaks face each other, resembling a turtle and a snake, which is called "the turtle and the snake guarding the gate". After the stream water leaves the mouth of the valley "Guarded by Turtles and Snakes", it flows gently in the valley creek, twisting and turning, forming eighteen bends and eighteen beaches. The bottom of each beach is crystal clear, and fish can be seen swimming. Join Changchuan.

There are three routes to Youjiuchie Beach: one is to go back to the rest of the road from Shangchan Village and enter the first channel from Monk Rock; the other is to go down from the watershed and directly enter the "Turtle and Snake Gate" to climb the cliffs, pass through the jungle, and enter the first channel from the monk's stone. The first one is from Jiuxie to No.1 Xie, then to Shangchan Village; the third one is to go up the stream from Changchuan Mazong Bridge to Ninth Xie, and then walk out of the deep mountains and valleys.
