In the place where the first flower bloomed and the first bird flew, in the hot land where the dawn of Chinese civilization dawned, in the birthplace of the Sanyan culture in Xianbei, there is a mountain with beautiful scenery, many strange stones, a long history and vivid stories. The dense vegetation is in stark contrast to the arid and less green landform in western Liaoning, so that the greenery stands out from the plane. This is the Beipiao Daheishan, located in the south of the eastern section of the Nuluerhu Mountains, at the junction of Liaoning and Inner Mongolia.
The 2,200-meter-long sightseeing cableway takes us directly from the visitor center to the Qunfeng Jingxiu Scenic Area, without having to climb the 310-meter mountain road like before, which saves energy and facilitates the tour. When you get on the cableway station and look back, you can see the Journey to the West Wonderland scenic spot in the distance. The sightseeing trail is like a long dragon winding around the mountainside. Standing from the cableway is the first and largest viewing platform of Qunfeng Jingxiu. The viewing platform of more than 700 square meters is based on Lao Tzu's beautiful sentences of "Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things" and "love". In 1314, I will love you forever and ever", and named it "Lifetime Taiwan".
Climbing up to the viewing platform, a row of natural strange stones on the opposite mountain protrudes in an S shape among the green mountains and green trees, and the erected giant stones in front are like two raised dragon horns. This Chinese stone dragon entangled in the mountains is more than 2,000 meters long. It is said that this is where a dragon vein is located. It became a place where the dragon thrived because it once hid the emperor of Beiyan. Near the viewing platform, there are Jinchanshi, Jinzhongshi, Lianxinsuo, which are shaped and imaged, implying beauty.
The two stones on the mountain are like a pair of lovers standing side by side. They are named the Condor Heroes. One has long hair and a long flowing skirt swinging in the wind; Accompanied by the left and right, walk the world with the sword together, to interpret the beautiful legends in the rivers and lakes.
Leaving "Yiyitai" and continuing along the sightseeing trail, this is a 5,000-meter-long circular tour route, including 4,500 meters of wooden plank road, 106 meters of suspended glass path, and 3 viewing corridors and pavilions. There are 13 stations, moving all the way to change scenes, stop and go, it takes about three hours to go around. The day before was heavy rain and light rain in turn, and the next day was sunny and sunny, which was a good weather for taking pictures. Our shutters kept ringing one after another, eager to record everything we saw.
Walking along the trail for a section of mountain climbing, I passed the Taoist ancestor of Sanqing unknowingly, but I missed the deep love, and I just looked at the scenery of the Westward Journey to the Wonderland on the other side. It was a short distance, but it took more than half an hour because we were walking and shooting. I heard from the tour guide that Daheishan Scenic Area held a collection of scenic spot naming activities. You can give full play to your imagination to name the strange stone. Once you find out that you will get a certificate of honorary mountain people and leave your name in Daheishan.
Sightseeing Mountain Road turned a corner, and we came to Feng Bating for a rest. When you see the name, you know there must be a historical story. Feng Ba was the emperor of Beiyan during the Sixteen Kingdoms period, his posthumous title was Emperor Wencheng, and his character Wenqi. According to historical records, Feng Ba and his younger brother Feng Sufu once lived in seclusion in Yantanggou, Daheishan, where they performed military exercises and accumulated strength. Later, Feng Ba, Feng Sufu and others sneaked back to Longcheng, launched a coup to overthrow Murong Xi, supported Gao Yun as Yan Tianwang, changed Yuan Zhengshi, and was called Beiyan in history. In the third year of Zhengshi (409), Gao Yun was killed by his subordinates Liban and Taoren. Feng Ba pacified the incident and was promoted as the king of heaven by the generals, changing Yuan Taiping. After becoming the emperor of Beiyan, Feng Ba was grateful for Daheishan being his place of Longxing protection, so he named Daheishan the sacred mountain of Yandu, the backbone of Longcheng.
It is said that when Feng Ba was the general of Zhongwei in Yan State, he came to the river ditch in front of Dahei Mountain during an inspection tour and saw a golden dragon swimming towards him. Feng Ba was worried that the emperor Murong Xi would find out, so he resigned his official position and went to live in seclusion in Daheishan. After Murong Xi found out about this, he sent officers and soldiers to round up Feng Ba in order to eliminate hidden dangers. As soon as we arrived at the mouth of the chimney mountain ditch, a sudden heavy rain with hail and stones poured down to block the mouth of the ditch, smashing the officers and soldiers and fleeing. Not long after, Murongxi sent officers and soldiers to come again. As soon as they arrived at Dahei Mountain, they encountered a big tiger blocking the mountain pass. Only then did Feng Ba's brothers settle down on this mountain. The smoke from their cooking every day curls up from the big rock crevice of a mountain peak at the end of the ditch, shaped like a chimney, so later generations called the ditch where Feng Ba lived in seclusion "Chimney Ditch" and the mountain that smoked. Made "Chimney Hill".
Daheishan is located at the junction of Beipiao City, Liaoning Province and Aohan Banner, Inner Mongolia. The highest peak in Beipiao City, Pingdingshan with an altitude of 1074.3 meters, is on the border between the two provinces. In Daheishan Scenic Area, you can see the majestic Pingdingshan from a distance. However, Pingdingshan has not been developed yet, and there is no ready-made road to climb to the top. I heard from the locals that standing on Pingdingshan can overlook Longtan Reservoir and Beipiao City 30 kilometers away. You can also see the nine mountains extending to the surrounding area like nine giant dragons, forming a natural spectacle where nine dragons gather. There is a towering rock peak on the east side of Pingding Mountain, which looks like a huge monument. This scenic spot is called Chaotianque. There is also a Beiyan relic, which looks like a man-made ruined wall. It is said that it is the stone house wall built by Beiyan Feng Ba when he took refuge in Daheishan.
After seeing the Immortal Stone, Laojun Yizhichan, Taoyuan Jieyi, and the boat in the desert, after passing through the Shimen Qiankun, we walked through the holy mountain and moon pavilion to the highest point of the peaks of Jingxiu Scenic Spot. After seeing the happy turtle, we started The journey down the mountain. Seeing that there is no way out in front of the mountains and rivers, but when I get closer, I find that there is another cave. There is a canyon leading to the front. It is said that this is the cave where the White Dragon Immortal once lived.
A long time ago, the primeval forest of Daheishan was a paradise for animals. A black snake spirit vainly tried to occupy the mountain as king, vomited poisonous juice and harmed the people, the white dragon fairy stepped forward to eliminate harm for the people, and showed his original shape to fight the black snake spirit. Although he killed the black snake spirit, he was stuck with the black snake spirit. The venom sprayed by the snake essence turned into a stone dragon and stayed in Daheishan, which is the "Chinese stone dragon" we saw on Yiyitai. . Walking out of the ground seam exit, there is another scene on the right hand side called the boy worshiping Guanyin.
After "Taizong Looking in the Mirror" and "Bigan's Heart", we embarked on the most thrilling Daheishan glass plank road. While experiencing the shocking step by step, don't forget to enjoy the strange rock scenery on both sides. Looking up at the mountain, there is a boulder shaped like an old monk reclining on the stone platform in the mountain, named "Wujie Guiyin" to commemorate Tan Wujie, the first person who went to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures earlier than the Tang monk. According to historical records, Tan WuJie is now from Longcheng, Chaoyang. During the reign of Feng Ba of the Northern Yan Dynasty, 25 monks were recruited from Longcheng to go to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures, 207 years earlier than Tang Monk. The landscape of Tang Monk worshiping ancestors in Journey to the West Wonderland Scenic Area comes from this.
The glass plank road at the foot is built on the cliff halfway up the mountain, with a total length of 106 meters and a width of 1.45 meters, and is more than 70 meters away from the highest point of the cliff bottom. Surrounded by mountains, the peaks and peaks are layered upon layer, and the skylight and cloud shadows are reflected on the glass, as if walking into a mirror of the sky.
It takes a bit of courage to walk on the glass platform, and most people dare not look down. As long as the fear is overcome, the magnificent and beautiful scenery can be enjoyed from the glass viewing platform. Leaning on the railing, you can overlook the undulating mountains in the distance. On the right side, the Wuyuebing Scenic Area has dense trees and jagged rocks. If you get closer, you can also see the Skull Rock, the Golden Toad Sending Treasure, and the Jade Pig Dragon.
How did the Daheishan, which is full of strange rocks, form? Let us analyze it from a geological point of view: there was a famous Yanshan orogeny during the period from the end of the Jurassic to the beginning of the Cretaceous, and a geological event in the Beipiao area was called the Songling Movement by the geological community. This change caused the Jianchang Basin, Beipiao Basin, and Jinlengsi-Banshan Basin to be folded and uplifted, and at the same time caused the overthrust faults of the Tuchengzi Formation of the Upper Jurassic System and the Lanqi Formation of the Middle Jurassic System to reverse, creating a majestic Great Montenegro. Vigorous crustal movement coupled with hundreds of millions of years of wind, frost, rain and snow, the uncanny workmanship of nature has made the landscape of strange peaks and rocks in various shapes that we see now.
The forest coverage rate of Daheishan Scenic Area reaches 93%, and it was approved as a national forest park in 1996. Due to the low rainfall and thin rocky soil layer, there are few big trees here, and many dwarf shrubs grow here. There are various species and harmonious ecology. According to statistics, there are 1,279 species of various plants; 28 orders, 75 families and 384 species of wild animals. It is the world of northern mountain flowers, the kingdom of plants, and the paradise of wild animals. It was once praised as "Liaoxi Green Island" and "the source of life".
Go down the mountain from the glass platform and continue the journey of strange rocks along the wooden plank road. On the opposite mountain, there is a general worshiping his mother. A general in armor is saying goodbye to his loving mother and preparing to go to the battlefield. The picture is full of family affection and national love. According to legend, this is the scene where General Bai accompanied Emperor Qianlong on his east tour to Dahei Mountain to watch the iron trees bloom, and bid farewell to his mother before leaving. The signs beside the plank road give a good interpretation of Kistler. After reading the introduction, look at it again, the more you look at it, the more it looks like it. The two stones below are embracing and kissing each other. It is said that they have been in love for ten thousand years.
Walking on the plank road, you can see the strange rocks with different postures on the mountains near and far, and listen to some myths and legends. The blessings of the old way, the gourd of blessings, the promotion stone, the fifth daughter's birthday worship, all the sons enjoying the scenery, teaching the children well, I really miss you... The strangely shaped stones have given full play to their imaginations and are endowed with different meanings. Dunjue Mountain became lively, full of stories. Looking up at the top of the mountain, the stone peak looks like a goddess, sitting solemnly and dignifiedly among the beautiful peaks. This natural stone statue is Mrs. Xian, who is known as "the first heroine in ancient China" and is regarded as the "Mother of Lingnan". According to historical records, Mrs. Xian's real name was Yaying, the leader of the South Vietnamese slang, and she was an outstanding figure at that time. Maintaining national unity and national unity, educating people to cherish peace and love life, has made outstanding contributions to the development of Lingnan's social economy and culture. Why did a Lingnan native appear in the Northeast? It turned out that she was the great-great-grandson of Feng Hong, the younger brother of Emperor Wencheng of Northern Yan, Feng Ba, and the wife of Feng Bao, the prefect of Gaoliang. Therefore, she also had a deep relationship with Daheishan. It is not surprising that Dahei Mountain, the backbone of Longcheng in Yansheng Mountain. It is said that one of their sixth-generation grandsons was named Feng Yuanyi, who entered the palace and became a eunuch. He was the famous eunuch Gao Lishi during the time of Emperor Xuanzong Li Longji of Tang Dynasty.
Watching strange stones and listening to stories all the way, all of them are vivid and lifelike. Every time I listen to the commentary, I feel suddenly enlightened, and every journey will have surprising discoveries. Looking up, a steed horse leaps across the mountain, and Ma Chao Feiyan, the symbol of Chinese tourism, appears here. Looking down, the naive national treasure giant panda is playing in the valley, looking left and right with its big head. Going forward, an Antarctic fairy appeared beside the mouth of the Ziqitian Gorge, showing a side face, smiling as if passing by.
The five-kilometer and three-hour tour of Daheishan peaks is perfect. Enjoy the wonders of peaks and forests, form strange stones, listen to legends and stories, and watch the changes of time. Daheishan in summer is a summer resort, very cool in the morning and evening. In spring, Rhododendron and apricot blossoms in Daheishan are competing to bloom, and hundreds of flowers are competing for splendor. Dahei Mountain in autumn is colorful, and the forests are full of rich autumn colors. What Daheishan dedicated to us is not only natural wonders, but also profound historical culture. A piece of strange stone bears stories of legend and history, tells us the ups and downs of honor and disgrace, joys and sorrows that have happened in this land, and shows us the power of nature and the beauty of the world through the tempering of years and vicissitudes.
