Shaoguan Zijia OK
3 at the beginning of the cold dawn, we left out of the car was still sleeping in the southern metropolis of Guangzhou Qiantan Town, turn off the northern suburb of the bell had just opened on the Beijing-Zhuhai Expressway. New asphalt pavement, a look Hirakawa; both sides of Castle Peak trees, charming scenery. A step throttle, cars, fast and lively manner line speed quickly on to 150 km, in the city, where would such a carefree feeling of dripping of the hurricane car? Maneuvering the way, full-speed gallop, Shaoguan City Qujiang County to reach nearly 200 kilometers, only less than a half an hour. The way a unique landscape that is frequently encountered hung Guangdong A, Guangdong, Guangzhou and Shenzhen B license from the north of the car, we seem to have the same purpose, self-driving to make a sightseeing tour also!
Qujiang County, South Temple is not not to place a long history, to construct a temple there 1500 years ago, is Liuzuhuineng carry forward the "Nanzong meditation," the birthplace of Zen is known as Lingnan, "birthplace of , "said an area of 12,000 square meters, Temple Po Lam foothills of the mountainous Qixiu, more possession of the Sixth Patriarch of the true body, rich in sihou towering pine trees of the nine water, it is can not help but think of the" Bodhi -tree, nor stand mirror heart, always wipe off, where can the dust alight? "through the ages made it clear that everybody's lips. Unfortunately, constant stream of pilgrims and tourists during the holiday season, this millennium ancient temple destroyed the atmosphere of quiet and retreat, we come not the time.
Qujiang County, the other attractions for the Lion Rock Maba Man site, Lion Rock from the north and south two one high and one low limestone Koho constituted to look at the shape of the lion lying, scenery in general, only in known human skulls unearthed in dam . From the tour is set on the next to the museum learned that dam were between China and the modern ape-man among the ancients as a type of living 12 million years ago, is really very old. In ancient times the land belongs to China's Lingnan actually wild and is also the birthplace of human civilization, one group of Southerners really make us proud.
Lunch at the Qujiang, we drove straight through the west, Shaoguan City, Ruyuan County. Is located within the Fingers area Ruyuan Nanling National Forest Park, Guangdong Province, the first peak Shihkeng Kong Mountain, elevation 1902 meters higher than the peak of Huangshan Mountain in Anhui Province Heavenly Capital Peak (elevation 1868 meters) is even higher on the tens of meters, is we are one of the main objectives of this trip. As the Beijing-Zhuhai Expressway in Shaoguan to Hunan Yizhang segment has not yet opened to traffic, Ping (stone) milk (source) of national highways is the way we have collected before departure to the floor hard to milk road trip information, but can not think of driving on the ground, its The bad roads are still something of a surprise: the whole mountain road, obviously in disrepair for years, is not a fracture is a bumpy road, and some pits as deep as tens of centimeters or even almost do not see a good way straight 100 meters. Between vehicles are in the left twist, turn right, "the" character line of bumps ahead, often just over a threshold, again a pit, and our cars are Volkswagen cars, shock absorbers hard, people and cars were forced to do song bones campaign miserable. During this "suspicion is the worst roads in Guangdong Province", we just walked over 40 kilometers are a full spent more than two hours, compared to the morning of the Beijing-Zhuhai Expressway has just gone through is simply from heaven to hell. Through Ruyuan beautiful Nanshui Reservoir, the lake area of 38 square kilometers, a lake, we cherish the beauty of eyes, after all, has to go through some bumps along the torment away. The irony is that we also met before the mountains turn into Nanling a toll station, but unfortunately obediently paid under the road maintenance money.
Reach Nanling Mountains, drove all the way along the winding up of the loess go. From the geographical data to extrapolate, the highest in Guangdong Nanling Jun majestic mountains, elevation 1000 meters above peaks are more than 30 seats, has 273 square kilometers of large-scale forest area, with more than 2000 kinds of plants, is the best preserved in Guangdong of virgin forest, Nanling or block the cold air invasion of northern Guangdong, the natural barrier. We circled away from the foot of the mountain winds of 20 kilometers, it arrived at the hillside about 1,000 meters above sea level forest farm. At this point the sky gradually sink, almost dusk, we live in the forest guest house farm (camping on the exemption of), in addition to the authentic taste of the delicious sensation in Shankeng snails sleep at night, when the "Forest + water" feeling really unprecedented wonderful!
The next morning, we continue to drive up along the open, luxuriant woodlands, ancient trees, cypress pine trees; dense bamboo, alpine azalea plants that; to see clearly in the differentiation of landscape plants, since the foot and on the is an evergreen broad-leaved forest, to fade into the mountainside conifer, alpine dwarf forest near the peak distribution of these three vertical landscape with its own charm, very enjoyable. Through "Little Huangshan," stop climbing, peak sudden vigorous ancient pine trees which stand now at the touch of cloud, there are indeed a bit of Huangshan welcoming pine demeanor. Once again drove forward from the pillar that stands on the roadside, we are left at an altitude of 1600 meters at the border of Guangdong and entered the territory of Hunan Province, traffic has become very poor mountain has no smooth road, leaving only a rugged loose roadbed, top covered with gravel of different sizes, seems to have been washed after the traces of mountain torrents. When the performance of the test car came, steep mountain roads are also bad, the car can only be increased by a low-gear throttle crawling. In fact this way best suited to off-road tire is equipped with four-wheel drive, ordinary car is reluctance. Interestingly, in the turn of the 10 a few bends, we again turn back into the Guangdong border. Fearing the car tires would be punctured and the impact of sharp gravel truck chassis, we almost lost confidence in the U-turn to give up want to continue to crawl the occasion of a sudden in front of the road suddenly see the light, not far from the stop a few more four-wheel drive jeep, and finally reach the its peak Shihkeng Kong Mountain, how can the card? Here are the former Guangdong governor zhu stone inscription of "Guangdong the first peak." Those owners are watching us with eyes of surprise, such a bad way actually be able to open up with the car? Standing peak, the whole surrounded by towering peaks, steep beautiful, patchwork, mountain water vapor in the clouds illuminated by the sun slowly rose, the rally dispersed, really did not expect such a human shengjing the mountains of northern Guangdong. Would like to mention here, the only downside to drive on to the top is to buy a Hunan Mang Mountain Forest Park tickets, each is 30 million people are slaughtered by knife feeling. Kokonoe the way down hill "waterfall corridor" is not to be missed landscape, waterfall base hidden in the Shenhe Nanling valleys, where Fei Liu falls by more than 10 at the upper and lower winding connected to divide up more than 200 meters. We go down the steep path up the stairs next to the waterfall after waterfall of pure heart, two waterfalls, the Qing Yun waterfall, peacocks and so a waterfall a waterfall pool a river, with different features, where the water splashed sound of the birds and Zhou Zhou Voice of the sound of the refraction of sunlight Chuanlin enter the premises to clean river water surface, thousands of negative ions per cubic meter of air mixed with vegetation Fanghua atmosphere, soak into the depths heart and lung, together constitute a ravine in dense forest in a unique waterfall scenery Gallery.
Reluctant to part with the afternoon farewell Nanling, the car has undergone some "rotten milk Ping Road," the pain, we are toward the ultimate goal of this trip - known as China embarked Danxiashan Redstone Park. Danxiashan is located in Renhua county, 45 kilometers northeast from the city of Shaoguan. In order not to miss the famous Danxia sunrise, we reached the ticket drove into the scenic area directly after the election at the foot of the mountain farmers in hotel accommodation. Starry night sky, sweeping away the cloudy day, for fear that we do not see the sunrise concerns. Shortly after midnight, we came to the concept of peak Danxiashan Elders Day pavilion, where has been packed with a large group of enthusiastic visitors to watch the sunrise. Under the hard look at the people cheering, a glowing red sky in the distance of the sun slowly exposed out. 10000 glow in the light, a Danxiashan gradually become her unique style, with red sandy conglomerate formed by the mountains are all steep slope roof flat, Chibi Danya, back on hill overlooking the whole, I saw "the color of Ottawa Dan illuminating as heavenly Ming-xia ", thus named Danxiashan, Hongyan appearing in the landscape called" Danxia landform. " Jinjiang foot of a green belt from north to south like a shuttle on the Crimson's Danxia mountains, across the Yangtze River is the newly developed in recent years, Yang Wonsan scenic spots. Under the elders peaks through late show rock, back to light rock, grass cliff, just like Daoxue by a large flush of red rock-like composition, in its left numerous monuments and LITHOGLYPHS humanities. Do not pass in the mountainside monastery built in the Ming at the end of the early Qing Dynasty, is one of the Lingnan ten Buddhist temple, the environment quiet, but also a place worth visiting. After the boat tour down Jinjiang viewing is another kind of feeling, coastal Chibi Linjiang, Niyama clear water off each other, bamboo clamps the shore arrangement, as if into the Landscape gallery. Yang Wonsan scenic spots in the dock, we came to more than 80 meters high stone front Yang Yuan, Secheng crimson, in the Mother Nature, no matter the shape or outline of detail and the male reproductive organs are lifelike, worthy claims to the world rocks. We are almost through the mountain side of the steep climb up the vertical Yang Yuan-chia lodged in the Peak Pavilion, the Pavilion and the Pavilion Danxiashan the concept of day relative look away, in this view to the southeast to the Danxiashan peak could be a complete picture of the north There-kun Wonsan and many people like objects like rocks form. Unique topography, as well as mountain-hung, Qi Shi, slope risk, Shui Sau work together to build into this Lingnan the first mountain.
This three-day trip in Shaoguan Zijia, originally expected no significant scenic attractions, but casually driving around town to see, flying mood, but instead gives us a trace of surprise, especially Nanling left a deep impression on us . Believed that with the opening line of Beijing-Zhuhai Expressway, Nanling forest Zheke the highest point hidden in the mountains of Guangdong Pearl will certainly be recognized by the people.
