It is said that this is a 4A-level scenic spot without people. It may be that the transportation is inconvenient, or it may be that the reputation is not obvious. Shibaoshan Scenic Spot is located in Jianchuan County, 120 kilometers north of Dali City. Shibaoshan is a Danxia landform. The spherical weathered stones form strange peaks and rocks, such as bells, arrows, lions, and elephants. The tall ones form cliffs, which are patchwork and unique. There are many scenic spots in the scenic area, including Shizhongshan Grottoes, Taoist Temple Baoxiang Temple, Jinding Temple, Haiyunju Temple Temple, Shizhong Reservoir, etc. There are lush forests, infinite stone interest, unique temples and unique scenery, especially famous for its grottoes and cliff statues. Its scenic spot includes three parts: Haiyunju, Baoxiang Temple and Shizhongshan Grottoes. The Jianchuan Grottoes are comparable to Dunhuang, and are known as "there is Dunhuang in the north and Jianchuan in the south".
After trudging all the way, I finally arrived at Shibaoshan. There are very few tourists in Shibaoshan, so I can just relax.
Walking into Shibao Mountain and looking at the landscape of Shibao Mountain from the bottom up, we were completely shocked. The steepness of the Hengduan Mountains on the plateau, the peculiarity of the Kashite landform, and the intact virgin forest shocked me from the bottom of my heart. shocked. No wonder Jin Yong, who came to Jianchuan Shibaoshan, couldn't help writing "Nantian Treasure" while intoxicated!
Now the four words "Nantian Treasure" have become the slogan of Jianchuan Shibaoshan, which is not an exaggeration at all!
Lion Pass is worth a visit, there is no guardrail, all the way up, fortunately, through a hole, and then walk a little bit, you will reach the top. Looking back, it was a little exciting. The legs are weak, it is hard to imagine that I just climbed up,
Overlooking the mountain scenery, like a picture scroll.
Going north from Shizhong Temple is Baoxiang Temple. The scenery here is excellent, with towering ancient trees and flowing sweet springs. It is known as the most beautiful place in Shibaoshan tourist area. What we admire the most is that the whole temple of Baoxiang Temple is built on a steep cliff. Known as the "Hanging Temple in Yunnan", looking at its volleying appearance, I am really worried that it will collapse, but our worries are superfluous, how is it possible?
Leaving Thrilling Baoxiang Temple, continue to the north and left, and you will find the Haiyunju Tourist Area. Haiyunju, as the name suggests, is a land with sea and rocks. You will meet monkeys on the road, and the "Wanghai Building" in Haiyunju is the place with the widest view. Climbing up to the Wanghai Tower, everything is in sight.
Next stop, the ancient town.
At the entrance of the scenic spot, you can take a car to Shaxi.
Shaxi used to be an important station on the ancient tea-horse road. With the decline of the ancient tea-horse road, it was gradually forgotten. But because of this, now Shaxi is quieter and more primitive, and better retains the style of the tea-horse town in the past. There is a famous saying in northwestern Yunnan: When you pass Dali and Lijiang, don’t miss Shaxi.
From a distance, it looks very dilapidated, no wonder that on October 11, 2001, the Century Monumental Building Foundation (WMF) announced in New York, USA that the Shaxi (Sideng) area in Yunnan, China was included in the list of 101 endangered buildings in the world in 2002. In China, the Great Wall of China, the O'Hare Rachel Synagogue in Shanghai, and the Christian Pagoda and Monastery in Daqin, Shaanxi were included in the list at the same time.
Walk across the ancient stone bridge beside the Heihui River——Yujin Bridge
Walk along the ancient road for about 100 meters, and you will arrive at the Dongzhai Gate, which is called "Jiezimen" by the villagers. This gate is inlaid with adobe and only allows two horses to pass through at the same time. The original appearance of the door.
Because of the remoteness of Shaxi, the original appearance of the ancient town is relatively well preserved. Shaxi Town is really small, and one Sideng Street is all she has. But every step I take, I want to stop and can't bear to continue. Just turn a corner and you will arrive at Sifang Street. An old locust tree stands quietly in the middle, and the ancient theater restored by foreign friends stands behind it with sleek and smooth lines. He is the soul of the ancient town of Shaxi, with the front and back pavilions, and the pattern of cornices and corners, standing under the blue sky for hundreds of years. Can you imagine that in such a closed country, there could be such gorgeous buildings in the distant Qing Dynasty.
It has not been over-developed, such a place makes people calm, and it feels as if time has stopped here, the indescribable tranquility, and the feeling of returning to nature. Involuntarily slow down and enjoy slowly.
