Shijiazhuang is rich in tourism resources, with many places of interest and historical sites, including 18 national key cultural relics protection units and 98 provincial cultural relics protection units. Shijiazhuang was awarded "Excellent Tourism City in China" from 199.
1. Zhao Zhouqiao
Zhao Zhouqiao, also known as Anji Bridge, is located 45 kilometers southeast of Shijiazhuang, on the Nangao River in Zhao County. Because the bridge body is all made of stone, it is commonly known as Dashiqiao.
Anji Bridge is located on the river in the south of Zhao County. Because Zhao County was called Zhaozhou in ancient times, it was known as Zhao Zhouqiao. Anji Bridge has a total length of 64.4m, a vault width of 9m, a span of 37.02 and an arch vector of 7.23. The structure of this bridge is very ingenious. As a whole, it is a single-hole arch bridge. But it is made up of 28 vertically juxtaposed arches. In particular, two small arches were built on the shoulders of the large arch, that is, the open-shouldered arch, which made it more ethereal and beautiful than the solid-shouldered arch, and also made the shape of the stone bridge particularly beautiful. Anji Bridge has its unique features in construction: single bridge type, long span and gentle arc, which not only saves stone, but also facilitates pedestrians and four cars to walk; The application of open-shouldered arch not only increases the drainage area and reduces the resistance of water flow, but also saves stones, reduces the weight of the bridge body and increases the stability of the bridge. Using vertical parallel masonry, each arch can stand independently and form a whole, which is not only convenient for construction, wood saving, but also convenient for individual repair; There is no special setting for abutment foundation, and natural foundation is adopted, and so on. Anji Bridge is not only high-tech but also beautiful in plastic arts. Its curved flat arch and small open-shouldered arch are ethereal, majestic and elegant, stable and light. On the railings and towers on both sides of the bridge, dragons, animal faces, bamboo joints and floral decorations are carved, and the knives are vigorous and powerful, with bold and novel styles. Du Fu, a poet in the Song Dynasty, praised Anji Bridge for "driving a stone flying beam to make a rainbow, and the black dragon was frightened and ground empty"; Liu Baixi of the Yuan Dynasty wrote a poem praising "Water flows over Yuhuan, and people get on the back of the black dragon". Just fame.
It was built between Emperor Kai of Sui Dynasty and Daye, and was supervised by craftsman Li Chun. Zhao Zhouqiao has a novel structure and beautiful appearance. The ancients said that it was "a miracle made, and people don't know why." The bridge is 64.4 meters long, 9.6 meters wide and 37.02 meters across. It is a single-hole arch bridge composed of 28 relatively independent arches. Zhao Zhouqiao's greatest scientific contribution is his pioneering work of "open-shouldered arch". On the two shoulders of the arch, there are four parallel small holes, which not only increase the water passage, reduce the weight of the bridge, save the stone, but also enhance the stability of the bridge. This effectively ensures that in the history of 1400 years, Zhao Zhouqiao has withstood many floods, eight major earthquakes and the weight of vehicles, and still stands on the Weihe River.
There are many beautiful legends about the architecture in Zhao Zhouqiao. In the past, when the river flooded, people had to rely on wooden boats to ferry. Lu Ban, the founder of the carpenter, turned sheep into stones and built the bridge overnight. Zhang and Chief Chai came to inspect the bridge together. Zhang rides a donkey with his head down, and the sun and the moon are on the donkey's back; Officer Chai pushes a cart carrying the Five Mountains. Walking in the middle of the bridge, the bridge is crumbling. Seeing that the situation was not good, Lu Ban jumped into the water and held the bridge with both hands. This stone bridge is safe and sound. Up to now, there are clear donkey hoof prints, driveway grooves and knee prints on the bridge; Lu Ban's handprint was left at the bottom of the bridge. As the folk song "Little Cowherd" sings: "The stone bridge in Zhaozhou is repaired by Lu Ban, and the sage in the jade railing stays; Zhang rode on the donkey bridge, and the king of Chai County pushed the car and ran past the ditch.
Zhao Zhouqiao, also known as Anji Bridge, was built in the great cause of the Sui Dynasty (605-6 18) by the famous craftsman Li Chun. With a length of 64.40 meters and a span of 37.02 meters, it is a single-hole open-shouldered stone arch bridge with the largest span and the earliest construction in the world. Because the shoulders at both ends of the bridge have two small holes, which are not solid, it is called open shoulder type, which is a creation in the history of bridge building in the world (called full shoulder type or solid shoulder type without small arch).
Since 1400 years ago, Zhao Zhouqiao has experienced 10 floods, 8 wars and many earthquakes, especially 1966 Xingtai M7.6 earthquake. Xingtai is more than 40 kilometers away from here, and there is also a 4.0 earthquake here. Zhao Zhouqiao was not damaged. Mao Yisheng, a famous bridge expert, said that no matter what the internal structure of the bridge is, there can only be 65,433. 1963 The flood flooded the arch of the bridge. According to the local old man, standing on the bridge can feel the bridge body shaking greatly. According to records, Zhao Zhouqiao has been restored eight times since its establishment.
Adding two small arch coupons at the upper end of the main arch coupon can save materials, reduce the dead weight of the bridge (reduce the dead weight 15%) and increase the discharge of river water under the bridge.
1979 in may, a joint investigation team composed of four units, including the natural history group of China academy of sciences, investigated the bridge foundation in Zhao Zhouqiao. The weight of Zhao Zhouqiao is 2,800 tons, and its foundation is only a abutment with a height of 1.55 meters made of five layers of stones, which is directly built on natural sand and gravel.
Such a shallow bridge foundation is unbelievable. When Mr. Liang Sicheng inspected 1933, he thought that it was only a diamond wall to prevent water erosion, but not the foundation to bear the full load of the bridge ticket. He wrote in the report:
"In order to measure the coupon base, we dug at the foot of the coupon in the north, but now it is about 70-80 cm under the riverbed, that is, we found the stone wall lying flat under the coupon. There are five floors of stone, with a total height of1.58m.. Each floor is slightly higher than the upper one, and there is no solid foundation below. Obviously, it is only a diamond-shaped wall used to prevent water from scouring, not a foundation that bears the full load of the bridge ticket. Because water will be seen in another 30-40 cm, unless it is excavated on a large scale, it is impossible to reach the bridge foundation position that we speculate according to theory. "
1991September, Zhao Zhouqiao was selected as the 12 "International Civil Engineering Milestone" by the American Society of Civil Engineers.
And in the east side of the northern end of the bridge, there is a bronze medal monument of "International Civil Engineering Historical Monument". In order to protect Zhao Zhouqiao, the new bridge structure built at 100 meters east of Zhao Zhouqiao at the end of last century still uses Zhao Zhouqiao, but the number of small arches on the main arch is increased to five on one side.
1400 ancient bridge: gorgeous cultural turn
The ancient Zhao Zhouqiao celebrated its1400th birthday in 2005. Zhao Zhouqiao, which has experienced the vicissitudes of 1400 years, has a unique charm in the hearts of the world. Although it has experienced years of changes and vicissitudes, it still stands tall and dazzling, attracting Chinese and foreign tourists with its great historical and cultural value and unique charm.
Witness and Historical Facts: past lives, "The First Bridge in the World"
A bridge spans north and south. Under the bridge is quiet running water, and occasionally you can see a few vague rut marks and a few modest pits on the bridge. Built in the great cause of the Sui Dynasty, some people swallowed Zhao in ancient times. The traffic task is very heavy. After the completion of the bridge, it has been used as a practical traffic bridge. Until 1955, it was still used by modern trucks, leaving a few deep and shallow pits.
The ancients once praised him for "doing wonders, and people don't know what he did"; As early as more than 70 years ago, Mr. Liang Sicheng was surprised to say after field investigation and calculation: "The way adopted by Zhao Zhouqiao's structure shows that its builders have a very good understanding of engineering mechanics-showing an extremely modern and progressive engineering spirit." 199 1 year, Zhao Zhouqiao was recognized as the 12 "International Civil Engineering Historical Monument" by the American Society of Civil Engineers.
The restoration and protection of Zhao Zhouqiao has been "operated" eight times.
Walking on the Zhao Zhouqiao and touching the wrinkled railings on the bridge, people seem to understand its vicissitudes. According to the staff of Zhao Zhouqiao Park, it took 200 years for Zhao Zhouqiao to carry out its first large-scale renovation. The reason for this transformation is that the Jingang wall in the north of the bridge was destroyed by the flood, which affected the small arch. So, in the eighth year of Tang Zhenyuan (792), people rebuilt the bridge with stones, restored it to its original state, and copied some railings and sentries.
Later, from 1066 to the founding of New China, Zhao Zhouqiao underwent seven renovations, large and small. The biggest transformation was after the founding of New China. From 1953 to 1958, Zhao Zhouqiao has carried out large-scale maintenance, rebuilding five main archways, four small archways, bridge deck railings and east watchposts. Under the condition of keeping the appearance of the ancient bridge unchanged, the bridge body was strengthened and waterproof. 1982 in order to protect Zhao Zhouqiao, a thousand-year-old ancient building, the local government built an antique reinforced concrete double-curved arch bridge on the east side of the bridge. From then on, the avenue no longer passes through Zhao Zhouqiao, and this bridge with a history of nearly 1400 years began to "rest".
The Value of Ancient Bridges —— The Ancient Bridges in the Eyes of the Director of Wenbao Institute
As people from Zhao County, Zhao Zhenwei, director of Zhao County Cultural Protection Institute, and Zhang Huanrui, former director of Zhao County Cultural Protection Institute, have extraordinary feelings for Zhao Zhouqiao. According to Director Zhao, although he has not been the director of the County Cultural Protection Institute for a long time, he has been with this bridge since he was a child and has deep feelings for this ancient bridge. Worse than director Zhao, Zhang Huanrui, a former director who has worked nearby for nearly ten years, not only knows the history of the ancient bridge like the back of his hand, but also can casually say every small crack on the bridge and the vague poem left by tourists when they opened the bridge hundreds of years ago.
"When I was a child, old people told stories about Zhao Zhouqiao and always said,' There is a big fairy bridge in the south of Zhaozhou'. In the hearts of local people, Zhao Zhouqiao is not an ordinary bridge, but a fairy bridge. " Zhang Huanrui, 60, recalled that an earthquake of magnitude 7.6 occurred in Xingtai in 1966. Zhao Zhouqiao is only over 40 kilometers away from the epicenter, and the earthquake is very strong, but Zhao Zhouqiao is "unscathed". 1963 was hit by the flood and flooded to the arch of the bridge. According to the local old people, the bridge body shook violently when standing on it, but the old bridge still survived safely-the local old people all said it was a mysterious bridge.
After 8 major earthquakes and 54 major floods, this ancient bridge has remained strong and healthy after countless wars for thousands of years. /kloc-how did craftsmen in China build such a bridge 0/400 years ago? Why are you still so strong? Since Liang Sicheng, a famous Chinese scholar, discovered it in 1933, his life experience and architectural value have been tirelessly discussed for nearly 80 years. Now retired at home, Zhang Huanrui is preparing to find another way to study the exact age of Zhao Zhouqiao and the profound cultural heritage carried by this "God Bridge". According to him, it is almost a miracle that the bridge can exist for 1400 years regardless of its structure.
The future Old Bridge "Bridge Culture" Park will come out soon.
In order to carry forward the "Bridge Culture" represented by Zhao Zhouqiao, and create the main tourist cultural products of the provincial capital and even the whole province, the local authorities have begun to plan to make Zhao Zhouqiao a "home". According to the person in charge of the local government, the local government has decided to build a "Bridge Culture" theme park with Zhao Zhouqiao as the core. The park planning has been handed over to Tongji University and will be finalized soon.
Wu Xianguo, the former mayor of Shijiazhuang, said that Shijiazhuang should take this conference to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the founding of Zhao Zhouqiao1400th as an opportunity, scientifically plan the development of Zhao Zhouqiao tourist area around the brand of "Bridge Culture", strengthen planning management and project development, lay a solid foundation for cultural characteristics, constantly meet the needs of tourists for knowledge, innovation, beauty and novelty, and strive to build Zhao Zhouqiao into a unique theme park of "Bridge Culture".
Cultural relics expert: It also represents a kind of culture and spirit.
Liu Zhimin, a senior engineer and cultural relic expert of the Provincial Institute of Ancient Architecture, said that Zhao Zhouqiao is an open-shouldered stone arch bridge with the longest construction time, the longest span and the best preservation in the world. It can be said that it is the largest bridge and the "longevity star" in the bridge industry. Zhao Zhouqiao is not only Zhao Zhouqiao in Zhaoxian and Shijiazhuang, but also Zhao Zhouqiao in Hebei and China, and Zhao Zhouqiao in the world. If Zhao Zhouqiao is built into a unique "Bridge Culture" theme park in the world, it may become another window for Shijiazhuang to open to the outside world.
Zhang Huanrui, who has lived next to Zhao Zhouqiao for 60 years, told reporters that the cultural structure of Zhaozhou consists of three parts: bridge culture, Zen culture and pear culture. It can be said that Zhao County is the northern county with the largest number of bridges, and it is also the only county with two bridges listed as national key protected cultural relics. "Bridge culture" can be said to be a symbol of a county. According to the idea of "tourism plays a role" and "economy plays a role", and Zhao Zhouqiao's position in the world, Zhao Zhouqiao can become a pair of wings of Shijiazhuang's economy.
"Zhao Zhouqiao is the' ancestor' of the world bridge. So far, no bridges earlier than Zhao Zhouqiao have been found, because those bridges have fallen. " Liu Zhimin said that Zhao Zhouqiao is still the oldest and best preserved ancient open-shouldered stone arch bridge in the world. Zhao Zhouqiao's structural style shows extremely modern and progressive engineering spirit, which has great inspiration and influence on bridge construction in later generations.
Transportation: Take bus No.213 at Shijiazhuang Railway Station, and you will arrive at the end.
Tickets: around 25 yuan.
2. longxing temple
Located in Zhengding County, Shijiazhuang City, it is one of the earliest, largest and most well-preserved Buddhist temples in China. Longxing temple was founded in the sixth year of Emperor Kai of Sui Dynasty (586), formerly known as "Longzang Temple". At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, Mao Zhao Kuangyin ordered the bronze Buddha to be cast in Longzang Temple, and the Great Compassion Pavilion was built, and a number of Song Dynasty buildings with the Great Compassion Pavilion as the main body were completed one after another. During the reign of Kangxi and Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, there were two large-scale repairs and additions, and the temple reached its peak. In the forty-eighth year of Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty (1709), Longzang Temple was changed to longxing temple, commonly known as the Great Buddha Temple.
Longxing temple, a thousand-year-old temple, has been visited by emperors for many times, staying in the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha, writing poems and erecting monuments, and carving monuments and stones. It can be seen that the bells and drums, chimes, cigarettes and the sound of "not going south" in the morning used to be here. The Great Compassion Pavilion is the main building of longxing temple, with five eaves and three floors and a height of 33 meters. There stands a tall bronze statue in the pavilion, which is the famous Zhengding Great Bodhisattva. The Buddha statue of Guanyin with thousands of hands and eyes is 2228 meters high and has 42 arms, which is used to hold the instruments such as the moon, the moon, the net bottle, the treasure stick, the treasure mirror and the diamond pestle. The face feels auspicious and quiet, kind and solemn. Achieved the artistic effect of climbing high and looking far and admiring.
The giant Buddha was first cast in the fourth year of Kaibao in the Northern Song Dynasty (97 1), and 3,000 craftsmen participated in it. Because the Buddha statue is super high, it is cast in sections from bottom to top. The lotus pedestal was cast in the first stage, poured to the knees in the second stage and topped in the seventh stage. The project is huge and complicated, which is much more difficult than the wood carving statue of Guanyin in Mahayana Pavilion of Puning Temple, the eight major temples outside Chengde. It is one of the four great buddhas around Beijing, namely the Lama Temple Buddha in Beijing, Dule Temple Buddha in Jixian County, Tianjin, and Puning Temple Buddha in Chengde. The Buddhist temple at the end of the temple was built in the Ming Dynasty. There is a bronze statue of Pilu in the temple, which is an isolated case in China, with exquisite design and strange shape. The Buddha statue is divided into three layers of lotus seats, with four bronze statues on each layer, facing each other and sitting back to back in the center of the lotus seat. A small Buddha statue was carved on the first petal of the lotus, with a total of 1072 Buddha statues. There are many inscriptions in longxing temple, among which the inscriptions in Longzang Temple in Sui Dynasty have high calligraphy value and historical value. There is Guo Rongfu in the north of longxing temple, which is close at hand. It is based on the antique buildings of Guo Rong Tower and Rong Ning Street described in China's literary masterpiece A Dream of Red Mansions. It was built for shooting the TV series A Dream of Red Mansions.
3. Cangyan Mountain
Thousands of scenery are opposite to the valley, and thousands of peaks are opposite to the top.
Smoke locks green, trees are pale.
Rain makes mountains more beautiful, and wind makes grass fragrant.
Leisurely, the world sees Emperor Xi.
Cangyan Mountain is located in the southeast of Jingxing County, Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province, 70 kilometers away from downtown Shijiazhuang, with an altitude of 1000 meters. It is one of the national key scenic spots in China.
Cangyan Mountain is not only beautiful in natural scenery, but also enjoys the reputation of "the five mountains are beautiful, and the Taihang peaks are just Cangyan". It is said that Princess Nanyang, the eldest daughter of Emperor Yang Di, came here to practice as early as 1300 years ago. There are still many ancient temples in the mountains, so it was announced by the State Council as the second batch of national key scenic spots in 1988.
Cangyan Mountain has steep cliffs, strange valleys, gurgling springs and towering old trees. The natural landscape is peculiar and diverse, among which "Sixteen Scenes of Cangyan" is the most famous, such as "Bijianling Pond", "Shaded Cliff with Stone Milk", "Beaded on Cliff", "Sunset at Furnace Peak", "Leitian on the mountainside" and "Bridge Opening Other Faces". Facing the mountain gate is the wonder "Bijian Lingtan". I can only see that in the gap between the cliffs here, the sandalwood of Cooper stands upright, leans out or hangs upside down. Listen to the name, there are welcome sandalwood, deerskin sandalwood, dragon hand sandalwood, arhat sandalwood, fairy sandalwood and giant sandalwood, which are various and magnificent. There are many meditation rooms, ancient temples, pavilions and steles among the peaks in the scenic area. Most of them belong to the ancient temple buildings on the mountain, mostly relics of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The main buildings are Qiaolou Temple and Princess Nanyang Temple. The temple was built on the mountain, climbed the mountain gate, and the peaks turned. A single-hole stone arch bridge with a length of 15 meters and a width of 9 meters flies between the facing cliffs, and Qiaolou Temple is located on this bridge with a depth of about 70 meters. Qiaolou Temple is a two-story pavilion-style building with double eaves. The golden glazed tile roof and vermilion hall columns are reflected in the blue sky and green peaks, each showing its own light. There are buddhas, bodhisattvas, eighteen arhats and murals in the temple. The magnificent palace is built on a high stone bridge on the cliff, just like a castle in the air, which is rare in the world. The ancients praised this spectacular scene: "thousands of feet Hongqiao looks at the details, and the sky and the clouds are Qi Fei." Further north, it is the main building of Fuqing Temple, Princess Nanyang Temple. It is said that Princess Nanyang lived here in those days. The temple is 3 rooms wide and 1 room deep, with yellow-green glazed tiles standing against the mountain and single eaves. There are three niches in front of the temple, in the middle of which sits the colorful sculpture of Princess Nanyang, with a heavy and carefree look, and four musicians standing on each side, with different expressions and lifelike; The gables are painted with colorful murals of the princess's self-cultivation and salvation. There is a deep cave in the niche, which is said to be the princess's bedroom Fuqing Temple has Cangshan Academy, Wanxiantang, Giant Buddha Hall, Fenghuixuan, brick tower and other buildings, as well as several stone tablets, carved beams and painted buildings, which are exquisite and elegant. The highest point of Cangyan Mountain Scenic Area is Yuhuangding. Climbing to the top of the mountain, looking from a distance, surrounded by mountains and mountains, is pleasing to the eye and lingering. Cangyan Mountain is as high as 1000 meters.

4. Xibaipo
Located in Pingshan county, 80 kilometers away from Shijiazhuang city, it is a small mountain village with lush pines and cypresses and beautiful scenery. Formerly known as Bobu, it was built in the Tang Dynasty. 1935, a teacher changed "no" to "po", so Xibaipo came into being.
1947 In May, the Central Working Committee headed by him entered Xibaipo ahead of schedule. A national land conference was held here, and the Outline of China Land Law was promulgated and implemented. 1948 In May, the great leader led the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the headquarters of the People's Liberation Army to Xibaipo, where he organized and commanded the three major battles of Liaoshen, Huaihai and Ping Jin, which shocked China and foreign countries, and held the Second Plenary Session of the Seventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China with great historical significance. 1On March 23rd, 949, Archbishop He left Xibaipo and moved to Beijing. Xibaipo, with its special contribution, has been recorded in the history of China revolution and set up an immortal historical monument.
Today's Xibaipo is in front of the rippling and sparkling Xibaipo Lake, and behind it is the Xibaipo Ridge of cypresses and pines. Lakes, mountains and mountains complement each other, forming a beautiful scenery with unique charm.
Xibaipo is a national patriotic education base. The main attractions are Xibaipo the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China former site, Xibaipo Exhibition Hall, Xibaipo Multifunctional Film and Television Hall, Xibaipo Monument, Xibaipo Stone Carving Garden, bronze statue of leader, leader style sculpture garden and Zhou Enlai Monument.
Introduction of scenic spots:
Baipo stone carving garden
The stone carving garden is located on the beautiful Xibaipo ridge, surrounded by water on three sides and a slope, with elegant environment and beautiful scenery. The main building adopts the classical cloister style. Inscriptions given to Xibaipo by famous people from medium-sized countries and society in the park, as well as the calligraphy works of Mo Bao, a famous calligrapher and a hundred old generals who participated in three major battles. It is a revolutionary, educational, ornamental, artistic and entertaining garden. It is a good place to see Baipo Lake, with boundless blue waves.
Site of the Second Plenary Session of the Seventh Central Committee
Xibaipo is the command center for our Party to further liberate China and establish a new regime. It is here that the transfer of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China's pro-work center is of epoch-making historical significance to the establishment of new China. After the three major battles, the victory of the war of liberation is a foregone conclusion. On the eve of this victory, China * * * held the Second Plenary Session of the Seventh Central Committee in Xibaipo from March 5, 1949 to March 3, 1949 in order to solve a series of major problems under the new situation. At the meeting, various policies were put forward to promote the revolution to win the national victory quickly and organize this victory; It shows that under the situation of national victory, the focus of the party's work has shifted from rural areas to cities; It stipulated the basic policies adopted by the Party in politics, economy and diplomacy after the complete victory of the revolution, as well as the general task and main ways of China's transformation from an agricultural country to an industrial country and from new democracy to socialism. In addition, the meeting also pointed out that winning the national victory is only the first step of the Great Wall of Wan Li, and the road ahead will be longer and the work will be more arduous. Therefore, the whole party must maintain the fine style of modesty, prudence, impatience and hard work, and be wary of taking credit. Pursue pleasure, beware of bourgeois sugar-coated cannonballs, and strengthen the party's ideological construction. This guiding ideology is still the center of our party's ideological work, and we will intensify rewards and punishments to safeguard our party's image in the hearts of the broad masses.
5. Tiangui Mountain
Tiangui Mountain is a famous mountain temple scenic spot in northern China, 80 kilometers away from Shijiazhuang. It is a national key scenic spot and a national AAAA-level tourist area. There are many strange peaks, strange caves and strange springs in the territory, with lush trees and misty clouds, and it is known as "Guilin in the North". The ancient temple on the mountain was originally a secluded palace built for Emperor Chongzhen. Because Chongzhen hangs Jingshan Park, Lin Qingde, a eunuch who specializes in palace, changed the palace to Qinglong Taoist Temple. More than 300 years ago, there were more than 100 Taoists here, so it was called "Northern Wudang". In recent years, Tiangui Mountain has been rebuilt, expanded and beautified, with temples, steles, pavilions, winding paths and trees.
Tiangui Mountain is a famous mountain peak in Taihang Mountain, which is famous for its beautiful mountains in Shan Qi. During the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, it was called "Sanmenzhai" because of the danger of "one person guarding it and ten thousand people can't force it", and it was once guarded by soldiers. Its mountain is called "Guilin in the North" because it resembles the mountain shape of Guilin. At the end of Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty, Seiryuji was built here, which added a group of buildings with royal garden style and Taoist style to the pure natural landscape, because Wudang Mountain in Hubei Province is a famous Taoist holy place in China, and then it has the reputation of "Northern Wudang".
The newly-built main scenic spots in Tiangui Mountain Scenic Area include Xuanwu Peak, Wanghaishan and Yinhe Cave, which are various and have their own characteristics. 1997 To celebrate the return of Hong Kong, the word "Gui" carved on the cliff of Tiangui Mountain is the largest Chinese character in the world, which has been recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records, and the skyscraper has landed, which has far-reaching implications. There is a cable car in the scenic spot, which is beautiful and comfortable, safe and reliable, and all kinds of service facilities are complete. It consists of the prestigious Qinglongguan Central Scenic Spot and eight scenic spots, including Xuanwu Peak, Wanghaishan and Yinhedong. Qinglongguan central scenic spot is a tourist area with the historical and ancient buildings with the integration of politics and religion as the main attractions and natural scenery as the background.
The scenic area is full of mountains and peaks, cliffs and caves, endless springs, birds and flowers, waterfalls in the sea of clouds and ancient temples, which are very attractive and have high sightseeing and appreciation value. The ancients said that "this body is forgotten in the world" and it is a tourist attraction worth visiting.
Introduction of scenic spots:
1. Qinglong Taoist Temple
Seiryuji was originally the refuge palace of Emperor Chongzhen. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen was deeply influenced by the instability of the country and sent eunuch Lin Qingde to build a refuge palace. Seeing that Tiangui Mountain is "secluded and secluded, its mountain is high and beautiful, and sometimes it has the shape of aura and phoenix dance", Lin Qingde built a large-scale project according to the pattern of the palace and completed it in 20 years. Because Emperor Chongzhen did not escape and hung up Jingshan Park, Lin Qingde was disheartened and changed the palace to Qinglong Taoist Temple. Seiryuji originally had three courtyards juxtaposed and symmetrically arranged. During the Cultural Revolution, most ancient buildings were destroyed. This view belongs to the school of Qiu Zulong and has a deep origin with Beijing Baiyun Temple.
Qinglong Temple in Tiangui Mountain was originally a secluded palace built for Chongzhen, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty. The Li Zicheng Uprising at the end of the Ming Dynasty seriously shook the imperial power of the Ming court. Zhu Youjian, Emperor Chongzhen, had a premonition that the mountains and rivers were unstable when the rebels approached Beijing, so he secretly sent Lin Chongji, a confidant eunuch, out of Beijing and chose a hidden place to build a palace to prevent accidents. Lin Chongji has traveled half of China and has a unique vision. He chose Tiangui Mountain in Zhong Ling, which is beautiful and easy to defend but difficult to attack. When Lin Chongji's palace was about to be built according to the royal garden pattern, Li Zicheng approached Beijing, and Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself in Jingshan Jingshan Park before he escaped. In order to be loyal to Master, Lin Chongji became a monk and converted to Taoism. His name is Qingde, he renamed his palace Qinglong Taoist Temple, and made a bronze statue of Zhenwu according to Chongzhen, offering incense day and night. Therefore, on the column dedicated to the bronze statue of Zhenwu in Zhenwu Hall, such a couplet is engraved: "Go out to three palaces and six courtyards and build a jade body; When you enter Wudang and return to the right path, you will be refined into a golden body. " In desperation, there is a trace of relief in the final destination.
Seiryuji belongs to Longmen Sect, the autumn ancestor of Taoism, and has deep roots with the ancestral home of Longmen Sect, Baiyun Temple in Beijing. Lin Qingde presided over Seiryuji for more than 30 years, and continued to accept disciples. At most, there are 40 or 50 Taoist priests, and the words in the middle of the Taoist names are also marked with Beijing Baiyun Temple. From Lin Qingde to 1937 July 7th Incident, Seiryuji experienced thirteen generations.
During the first hundred years of Qing Dynasty, Seiryuji was built frequently, with 12 large and small buildings. Zhenwu Hall, Cangyan Hall and Daguangming Hall are the three major buildings in Seiryuji. In this scenic spot with royal gardens, Taoist temples and beautiful natural landscapes, Seiryuji's huge buildings are built on the mountain. It can be said that the precipice is inlaid with gold and the precipice is inlaid with pearls, which is ingenious. In the shadow of the jungle, groups of buildings are sometimes hidden and sometimes exposed. Here, you can not only enjoy the natural landscape with many strange peaks, dense clouds and waterfalls, but also revel in the atmosphere of red walls and green tiles, cornices, wind-blown bronze bells and empty valleys, which naturally has a unique flavor.
"The world is famous for its mountains and monks". Tiangui Mountain not only has the danger of the North Mountain, but also has the wonder of the South Mountain. Emperor Chongzhen chose this place because it is "high and beautiful, quiet and secluded, with aura and phoenix dance" and is going to build a secluded palace here. "The dust is in the air." Tiangui Mountain is east-west, and the mountain consists of three layers of rocks. Between the steep cliffs, there is a gentle slope platform, forming a natural plank road. On the platform, there are lush trees, a layer of pale rocks and a layer of shadows, and the red cliff peaks are spectacular. Climb to the top of the mountain along the green mountain road, and face the majestic green sea and magnificent Lin Tao, you will feel an infinite power and a silent beauty. In Tiangui Mountain in spring, branches, trees and patches of peach blossoms, like red and white floating peach blossom clouds, float up the hillside, float into the valley, surround the mountain forest and embrace the mountain temple. When the golden breeze is cool and late autumn comes, the Tiangui Mountain, the fire of Qian Shan and the red leaves all over the mountains look like HongLing dancing with the mountains, and vertically it looks like thousands of pictures hanging between heaven and earth, really like a long scroll of autumn mountain red leaves.
6. Lake Biliu
Beaulieu Lake is located in Yuanshi County, 22km southwest of Shijiazhuang City, in the Mid-levels area. Before sunrise, there was a lot of fog floating on Panlong Lake, and the clear water was integrated with heaven. I wonder if there are mountains, water, clouds and fog in the distance. Give a person a hazy feeling. Overlooking Beaulieu Lake from the high platform is like floating in a fairyland, and the mountains are not as good as it.
The total area of the scenic spot is 14 square kilometers, of which the water area is 3.5 square kilometers. It is a comprehensive tourist resort integrating leisure, entertainment and conference. Beaulieu Lake has a vast water surface and beautiful scenery. There are three islands in the lake: Lotus Island, Long Island and Lu Hua Island. Exciting events such as trapeze, large water slide, high-speed motorboat, dragon boat, fishing, swimming, mountain climbing and beach volleyball will make you linger. Bowling, KTV and other entertainment facilities can let you show your talents. There are not only high-end suites, standard rooms, hotel restaurants, but also family hotels and special snacks, which can meet the needs of tourists at different levels.
According to legend, the Yangcun area has been suffering from drought for years, and the people complained bitterly. It was the second day of June. It rained heavily and the people were very happy. The river near the village is rolling, and the villagers go to the river in groups to watch the excitement. Everyone looked at the water with great interest. One scholar said: If the water can be stopped and stored, there will be no water irrigation in the future, and the harvest of crops will be guaranteed. Everyone agreed, so they went home to get tools such as door panels and shovels and tried to block the water. At this time, an old man with white hair came over with a group of pigs, saw the scene by the river and stopped to watch. I didn't know it was getting late and everyone couldn't stop the water, so I called it a day and went home. The old man who drives pigs is in a hurry. It is difficult to get the pigs home before dark. A kind-hearted person told me that there is a cave on the mountain near Henan, where pigs can be driven to live for one night. So the old man did it. At night, a golden light appeared on the mountain and stopped the river. The next morning, the old man found that the pig named Wangzai had disappeared, so he looked around and came to the river. The villagers came to the river with tools. They were very surprised to see that the water had stopped. At this time, the old man gave a cry of "Wangzai ..." Everyone pulled him and asked why. The old man choked and said: My "Wangzai" was flooded. When you look carefully, it is a big pig that has blocked the water in the river. Just as he was crying for land, a white smoke appeared at the foot of Nanshan, forming a mountain bag, and the white smoke took shape and rose into the sky. At this time, everyone understood that "Wangzai" gave his life to stop water for the benefit of the people, turned into white smoke and rose to heaven, and became a real dragon himself. Since then, the pool where Wang Zi stopped has formed a lake, which has been handed down as the present "Beaulieu Lake". The mountain package that ascended to heaven was called "Wang Zi Chenglongtai" and later called "Wang Zi Chenglongtai", and the original river became the present "Zhulong River". In order to show respect for their thoughts, Yangcun people beat gongs and drums and sang big plays on the second day of June, and this is the case every year, which has been passed down to the present temple fair.
