Came to Urumqi, with the total to fly to a distant mind, have to go out looking for the distant scenery. In this way, put the nearby Red Mountain neglected.
Hongshan beautiful, there are many moving legends. Red Mountain towering in Urumqi city, because of the purple Permian rocks are rich red sandstone was named after. Mountain 1.5 km long, wide and 1 km, elevation 910.6 meters. It is said that in 1785 and 1786, Urumqi, two consecutive years of floods, floods wreak havoc, hurt people. The reason is the flying dragon from the Tian Shan Yao Chi committed, but also to the west with the Red Mountain demon Yamaai ridge, if so, Urumqi will become an ocean. To this end, the Qing Emperor Qianlong 53 years (May 1788), Shang-Qing Du Commission on the hill in the Hongshan and demons of all built a pagoda, quells dragons, from this safe and sound.
In the evening, drove to come into the mountains, a bright side think this picturesque mountains. This is a real Hongshan, not only volley the cliff is red, and even the mountains a stone steps that are red. Although the weather was very hot, could set foot on a mountain, cool, and Kusaka assailed my nostrils. The dense trees on both sides of the mountains, green rich, nowadays it is watering moment, the bush variety of nozzles, spraying like a flower with, sent a crystal, an elegant, a rainbow, so that people feel over this is not the depths of the Great Northwest, but rather walk in the south of the green inside.
On the mountain, overlooking the head of a three-storey building, magnificently decorated eaves and volley, and great momentum, spectacular endless. Boarded floor, the lean on a railing overlooking, everybody in town the scenery. Looking north looked, towering Tianshan Mountains, the east-west, Bogda peak of the snow shining in the sun shone under the Han-guang, crystal clear, clean Masaaki bright. Looking around the city pleaded, Look at green below, a tower erected, stands tall and straight, beautiful and delicate features, and demonstrates the school of life.
Floor overlooking the South had to go breeze blowing along the way and dies suddenly to sweep away the heat. Up on the hilltop, you will find the mountain wind is very clear, very long, so cool. And let the wind Yilue as soon as there is a refreshing soak into the depths the heart. Although the hot weather, may go to the mountain, there is the wind a wash gratification comfortable, I feel beautiful summer.
Walk very far, a tall white statue greets us, it is a national hero Lin Tse-hsu. Looked at the front, a statue carved with white marble, 3 feet high, An Block, the red granite base. Statue boundless stalwart, was overwhelming, an indomitable awe-inspiring. Written in red pen like a side in the Tao-kuang Lin Tse-hsu 25 years, AD December 4, 1845 board Hongshan write a poem: Ren Poets, Zuiwo Hongshanzui. Feng Jin Department, sprinkle scales from.
Lin Tse-hsu (1785 - 1850), character honestly, the word less Mu, Fujian Houguan people (today Fuzhou). In 1838 the emperor appointed him as the imperial envoy, moderation Guangdong navy. He Humenxiaoyan feat, becoming the hero of the Chinese nation against foreign aggression. Humenxiaoyan later, when he and an unyielding struggle against the British aggressors, when in 1840 the emperor was stupid to go leather office, and banished made with Xinjiang Yili. People only know that cigarette sales Lin Tse-hsu was a hero, but few know that he is a water management expert. He served in Fujian, he had presided over water, frequently merit. Yili, in his hair with the way the emperor has decreed shall be exclusively send into exile, so he helped the Yellow River. In 1842 he completed in a matter, he was made contingent Ili. In Xinjiang during his journey north and south Tianshan Mountains, over irrigation and water conservancy construction, the implementation of farmland irrigation, flood control strain and work in Xinjiang. In 1845 the court transferred back to the mainland was the first month, but leaving behind a reputation in Xinjiang. People in this set Lin's statue on top of Red Hill, is to express people's love of the hero, but also implies forward to his wisdom and talent to the town, town water, to keep the peace.
A statue of the south, across the valley, in that rugged towering Redstone uplift Hongshanzui Department, stands 10.5 meters high with a 9 brick tower, which is Red Hill tower. Sun looked inside the tower thin, leaving a shadow of vicissitudes and tired, as if guarding the dragons for many years some of tired. With this tower the mountains, becoming a Reiki there is also a magical trillion disease. Zhuanlian see demons across the mountains, the setting sun shine, there is the same tower block echoed. Standing tower, the liberalization of vision to see bathed in the sunset Hongxia, broad streets, endless traffic flow, as well as the growing city, suddenly felt the Xinjiang is rising. Today, we no longer worry about floods as in the past, because not only have emerged in Xinjiang, but also about to enter the era of large-scale development, a new Xinjiang is imminent. To see the mountains tower gradually integrated into the sunset glow, the kind of ideas thick up: This tower is just a microcosm of the real constraints dragons are hard-working and courageous people of all nationalities in Xinjiang.
