It is 48 kilometers from Guilin to the north, 20 kilometers from Yongfu County, and 78 kilometers from Yangshuo to the south. This place is named after a peak in the basin, which is shaped like an upside-down golden bell. This is a comprehensive leisure and natural scenic area surrounded by mountains. There are naturally formed caves, sinkholes, small waterfalls, forest bathing beaches, longevity palace, racecourse, tennis court, golf driving range, floating restaurant, and European-style villas. , hotel buildings, etc.

At the kind invitation of Guilin Jinzhongshan Tourism Development Co., Ltd., "Hengyang Evening News" Tourism and Food Experience Group organized 60 readers to carry out an experiential two-day trip to Guilin Jinzhongshan Tourist Resort on September 19-20, 2015.

Departing from Hengyang at 6:45 in the morning on the 19th, we arrived at Xing'an Water Street at 10 o'clock. I have been to Water Street many times, and I am still very enthusiastic about her. Every time I come, I will gain something different. The clear and quiet flowing water, the stone arch bridge lying quietly on the water street, the fragrance of flowers, the green shade, the laughter of children, the leisurelyness of the old man...

11:15 Restart the journey to Jinzhong Mountain. Along the way, the scenery outside the car window is beautiful. You can gradually see the strange peaks of different shapes standing proudly. The rice fields are connected between the houses. The village lofts that appear vaguely among the forests are even more unique. External scene. The scenery along the way seems to have been moving forward in an ink painting.
At about 1 o'clock in the afternoon, a stone arch welcomed us into the Jinzhong Mountain Scenic Area. To get to the core scenic area, we had to walk a short scenic road through the deep mountains and canyons. The road was flanked by green mountains on both sides, which gave us a strange and mysterious feeling. . The bus finally stopped at the parking lot. The first thing that came into my eyes was the green lawn hidden among the mountains and jungles. Strange rocks and tall pines stood one after another. The Kamho Lake in front of me and the shallow green water were like A mirror makes Jin Zhongshan look beautiful and charming. All kinds of plants are lush and dense, and the orange orchards all over the ground are more eye-catching and cannot be picked. Neat, orderly, spacious and simple building. The mountain bones stand tall, and all these scattered around are combined together like artificial bonsai, but it is a wonder of nature.

After lunch, without having time to rest or arrange accommodation, the "Mr. Wang" of the scenic spot took us to visit Yongfu Rock .

Walking into the cave, I feel that it is really a geological wonder that enjoys the grace of nature.

As the name suggests, Yongfu Rock is also a karst cave. According to the tour guide, the entire cave journey is about 14 kilometers, and the currently developed tourist area is only 1.25 kilometers. Generally speaking, entering a cave will always make people feel that the air is turbid, oppressing the lungs, and it is difficult to adapt to it. In Yongfuyan, there is a gentle breeze and fresh air. The constant temperature is around 18 to 20 degrees all year round, which is warm in winter and cool in summer. The reason is said to be because there is an underground river connected to the outside, with abundant oxygen and cool air. How can it be called "cool". Under the illumination of landscape lights, the inside of the cave looks even more fantastic and colorful. The commentator said that the cave lighting in Yongfu Rock adopts time-controlled lighting that is close to natural light to protect the cave water resources as much as possible and keep the stalactites growing naturally.

The height of the cave is magnificent. The landscape in the cave is like piles of white rice, like mountains of gold, and like thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum and Longji terraces. It has various shapes, almost every three steps, and every five steps, making it dizzying to see. , Xiaojia jasper stalactite leaps into view, and "Li Gong's Helmet" has a realistic shape and delicate texture. "The tortoise and the snake discuss the Tao" are honest, interesting and lifelike. The "Twin Towers of the Sun and Moon", one white and one black, are natural. "Jia Dao Review" is vivid and lifelike... Although the large landscapes are similar, the small scenic spots are often unexpected and rare. The naturally formed words "luck" and "longevity" are amazing. Walking along the way, if you listen carefully, you may be able to hear the sound of running water, but not see its shape. The uncanny workmanship of nature and the vicissitudes of time have made the wonders in the cave extremely beautiful, and the wonders of geological movements have left people with endless reveries.

After an hour's tour, we left the cave entrance and waited for other teammates. The scenic spot provided us with a place to drink tea and rest, and the waiter introduced us to the local Luo Han Guo.

Visit Longevity Palace .

The European-style villas passing by the scenic spot are also provided for tourists to stay.

On the road, I could hear the sound of bells ringing from afar. arrive Halfway up Qilin Mountain, We arrived at the Changshou Palace, which houses the statue of Liao Fu, a long-lived man from the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The Changshou Palace is a temple and a shrine to Liao Fu. It is said that Mr. Liao Fu lived here until he was 158 years old. As temples carry people's wishes for longevity, the peaceful atmosphere of the temples can make people feel peaceful and purify their souls.

Standing in the temple, you can see at a glance Guanyin Songzi Mountain in the south, Furui Qilin Mountain in the north, Jinzhong Mountain in the west, and across the Immortal Staircase. At that moment, he transformed into the vast gas in the sky, drifting away with the curls of green smoke, to pursue the origin of longevity and experience a hundred-year life. Several "golden bell"-like mountains are buckled on the ground, and a picture of a vacation on Jinzhong Mountain comes to mind.

After dinner, watch a local performance.
After watching the show, go to the hot springs. Yongfu Hot Spring is located in the forest in the middle of Qilin Mountain. It is said to be a high-temperature hot spring that originates from the underground 1000 meters upward. Under the twinkling starry sky, in this elegant environment, surrounded by the forest, breathing freshnessAir, lie in the pool, drink beer, close your eyes and relax, surrounded by kissing fish The body dispels the fatigue of a long day's drive. There are also warm-up pools, salt pools, rose baths, milk baths, dynamic spa pools, swimming pools, sweat Steam your choice. If you're hungry, there's fruits and pastries to eat. Get close to the forestnatural area in your free time, feel the gift of nature, Regulate the spirit by absorbing a large amount of fresh air and natural environment, take care of the body, eliminate human fatigue, reduce physical and mental diseases, release stress, Enhance your own physical fitness, fully experience ecological health preservation.

The night in Jinzhong Mountain is so peaceful.
Back in the room, I originally planned to go clubbing in the cabin, but I gave up because I was already drowsy.

I woke up early the next morning and wanted to go hiking, breathe in the dew and feel the spirit of nature, but the incessant heavy rain prevented me from doing so and I could only sleep until I woke up naturally.
Go at 9 am Qianlong Tiankeng When we arrived at the scenic spot, we saw a long-lived turtle lying outside, which meant that it didn’t want to leave.
Enter the cave entrance. I could vaguely see the four colors shining brightly in the cave. I followed the guide into the cave. Stalactites of various shapes and sizes can be found everywhere, stacked up like rows of pine trees, or like monsters guarding the caves, in various shapes and sizes. As we continued to move forward, the roads in the cave became either winding and difficult to navigate, or suddenly wide and open. The hollow ones were several dozen meters high. Looking up, they were spacious and open, with towering domes, which were quite spectacular. The best stalactite, carved by time, with inverted spires and jagged rocks, hanging upside down above your head, as if thousands of strange monsters are vying to reach it, making people inevitably like this weirdness Spectacular . The cave is sometimes bright and sometimes dark. Going down to the 100-meter-deep pool makes everyone feel scared and terrified. Going down to the bottom, there is an underground river running all the way, "high gorge and flat lake". Looking back and looking up, isn't the relief "Seven Swordsmen Going Down the Tianshan Mountain" being performed on the steep wall? There are many gods and immortals on the top of the cave. When you enter the cave, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva and his mount Baoxiang welcome you. In the beautiful scenery Moving forward , Mysterious, Suddenly, my vision became clear, and I looked up, only I saw a skylight, breaking through the sky, A beam of light was projected in from the hole on the top. Dazzling, Drops of nectar fall . The entire tiankeng is about 40 meters in diameter and 50 meters deep. It looks like the trace left by the ancient nine-sky gods who used giant lightsabers to penetrate the earth's core, or like the eyes of the earth's core gods secretly looking up at the sky. Looking up at the hole from the bottom of the tiankeng, the sky is clearly visible, the forest breeze blows, the blue sky is misty, and the sunlight pours down from the tiankeng like a golden bead curtain. One is bright, the other is dark; one is blue, the other is white; one is yin, the other is yang; one is a mountain cave, the other is a sky cave. In this situation, Such a beautiful place with moonlit night sky, such clear water and such people are like a painting, it is really hard to describe it in words. It makes us, who are already very moved, even more moved. The karst cave is colorful and gorgeous, the cenote is magnificent and green. It makes people indulge in it. Moreover, because the surface of the tiankeng is connected to the underground and to a very deep underground river, the air is full of "negative ions" that are beneficial to human blood circulation and promote human metabolism. It is vividly called a storage depot of "air vitamins" and "longevity factors". It makes people feel refreshed and comfortable. From time to time, people are still exclaiming "it's so beautiful" and "it's so spectacular".

The name of Jinzhong Mountain"山" is famous, but it is not the mountain that is famous, but the caves and pits. There are caves and pits elsewhere, but the caves and pits in Jinzhong Mountain are famous because they are strange and strange, and the holes and pits are connected. Such a clever combination is amazing. "Yongfu Rock" and "Tiankeng" are both naturally formed karst caves. The unique connotation of karst landform tells people the power of water. It is the scouring, surging and infiltration of water that gives the mountain caves here an unparalleled effect. In fact, hundreds of millions of years before the earth's orogeny, the Guilin Stone Mountain that was still under the sea was already hollow. It should be said that the Jinzhong Mountain Cave is similar to the Reed Flute Cave and Qixing Cave in Guilin, but they both have their own gorgeous shapes. Perhaps this one is more shocking.

Come out of the Qianlong Tiankeng and arrive at the golf driving range. The driving range is located in an environment surrounded by mountains and green water. It is a refreshing place to swing and hit balls with real mountains and water. This is a kind of leisure that truly returns to nature and integrates into nature.

Jinzhong Mountain harmoniously combines nature and humanity, making a simple resort rich in content and making people want to visit it many times. This may be the way to success. From the perspective of photography art of nature and humanities, what shines in Jinzhongshan is the small scenes rather than the big ones. We can only discover the secrets from the tiny things. In the vast green ocean, breathe the moist mountain air, enjoy aerobic exercise, feel a little holiday leisure , the rich negative oxygen ions allow us to constantly "wash our lungs", wash away the hustle and bustle of the city, wash away the fatigue and worries of the world, and also wash away our health and happiness.

The drizzle of rain keeps falling...
