A geographer, traveler and writer in Ming Dynasty, and the author of the famous geographical work "Xu Xiake's Travels", he was called "a strange man through the ages".
Xu Xiake traveled all over his life, covering 2/kloc-0 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions. "What man can't reach, what man doesn't know", wherever he goes, he explores seclusion, seeks secrets, and keeps travel notes to record observed phenomena, humanities, geography, animals and plants. After 30 years' investigation, he wrote 600,000 words of Travels of Xu Xiake, which opened up a new direction for geography to observe and describe nature systematically. It is not only a geographical masterpiece that systematically inspects the landform and geology of the motherland, but also a tourism masterpiece that depicts China's scenic resources, and it is also a literary masterpiece with beautiful words, which has far-reaching influence at home and abroad.

February 21st (A.D. 16 16) was the time when Xu Xiake went out of the South Gate of Chong 'an to find a boat after swimming in Wushan. A stream in the northwest comes from fenshuiguan, and another stream in the northeast comes from Wenling Pass, which enters the sea in the south of the county seat and flows through the county seat. Thirty miles down the river, I saw a mountain peak by the stream, a lonely mountain peak. When I stare, I am surprised, but I am staring, so I am Man Ting Peak and I am Wang Feng. There is a small stream to the south of the peak, which flows eastward into a big stream, namely Wuyi River. Chongyou Palace is near the top of the mountain, facing the stream. I wanted to reach Jiuqu first, and then I went down the river to explore the calendar, so I went out of the palace and went against the current. The current is very fast, and the boat walks barefoot in the stream to pull the boat. The first song, Man Ting Peak and Wang Feng are on the right, Lion Peak and Guanyin Rock are on the left. On the right side of the stream, people near the water say "Shuiguangshi", and the inscription on it is almost repeated. On the right of the second song are Tiebanzhang and Hanmoyan, and on the left are Moufeng and Yunv Mountain in Ba Dou. Next to the chessboard, the cliff is steep and there are three holes in the middle, which are in the shape of "pins". On the right side of the trilogy is Huixian Rock, and on the left are Xiaozang Peak and Dazang Peak. There are thousands of towering walls, holes at the end of cliffs, and boards inserted like looms. A small boat leaned on the wood powder at the mouth of the cave, nicknamed "the boat with gullies". On the right of the four songs are Diaoyutai and Xizhen Rock, and on the left are Miracle Rock and Yanxian Rock. Miracle Rock is half-cave, narrow in the middle and narrow in the middle, with boards inserted horizontally, like small wooden stakes in a chicken nest. The next pool is deep in You Lan, and it is Wolong Lake. Its right big hidden screen, bamboo shoot peak, left dressing table, Tianzhu peak, five songs also. Wengong Academy is under the big screen. In Liuqu, on the right are Zhang Xianyan and Tianyou Peak, and on the left are the late opposite peak and Yinyan. Looking back between the hidden screen and the sky patrol, the dangerous ladder flying pavilion hangs on it, which is fascinating. Moreover, because the ship couldn't get in because it was in a hurry, it was still moored at Cao Jiashi.
Landing in the cloud nest, throwing clouds through the stone, all turned from the chaotic cliff. Behind the nest is the bamboo shoot peak. The peak is parallel to the skin and attached to the hidden screen side by side, and its waist is cut horizontally, so it is called "bamboo shoot". Along its side stone pass, there are several floors, surrounded by green mountains, leaving a gap like a hand as a tea hole. The entrance to the cave is from the west, with bamboo shoots in the south and Xianzhangyan in the north. To the east of the fairy palm is the sky tour, and to the south is the big hidden screen. All the peaks are steep and steep, but the lower ones gather together. There is no road outside, only the west, which is even more strange than the rocks on the roof. Climb from it to the hidden screen, to the cliff, hang a big tree as a ladder, stick to the wall and stand in the clouds. There are three ladders, with a total of 8 1 level. At the end of the checkpoint, there is an iron rope tied horizontally on the mountainside, and the next chisel is enough. Climb the cable to the west of the peak, and there is Gangjie in the wall. If you hang your tail, cut it out and climb, that is, hide the screen. There are pavilions and bamboos, surrounded by cliffs and overlooking out of thin air. Really a fairy. Still hanging a ladder, walked to the tea cave. Look up at what you have climbed. You can see it in Han Yun.
The cliff to the north of the mountain pass is Zhang Xianyan. The rock wall stands towering, like a palm, dozens of lines long. Follow the rock north to the ridge, the sunset invades the pine, the mountains and rivers bend, and enter the tour. Turn south and walk in the valley. When the valley is exhausted, the peak head suddenly appears, standing on three sides, and there is a pavilion at its head, that is, the peak of a day trip. It is the peak of the Nine Curves, not near the stream, but surrounded by the Nine Curves on three sides. Looking east, it is a big Wang Feng, surrounded by a Sange River. Look at the dressing table in the south. Near the south, there will be hidden screens of peaks, surrounded by streams with four or six bends. Looking west, it is the peak of the Three Religions, and near the west, it is also the peak of Tianding, surrounded by streams with seven bends and nine bends. However, there is no stream in the north, and the mountains are stacked from the water curtain mountain to this day. The person looking down at the front is the tea cave. Looking up from the tea cave, I saw dry clouds on the cliff and spring water pouring down from the side. At first, I didn't know there was a mountain on it to rest. If you don't meet the current, you can win the victory of the next nine streams. This peak should be the first. Standing on the platform, watching the sunset, the distant mountains are close to the water, and it is blue and purple. Behind the stage is the scenery of the sky patrol. I'm eager to quit my job. I'm already on the boat.
On the 22 nd, he climbed the cliff and resigned to the West. I follow the right side of the stream, and the other side is the left side. The seventh song has Sanyang Peak and Tianhu Peak on the right and Gaoyan Rock on the left. Under Sanyang, there is a small taoyuan, where the cliffs collapse and pile up, and the outside becomes a stone gate. Entering from the door, there is a land and a district surrounded by mountains, among which there is a flat-ridged qíquan, four Zhou Songbai bamboos, and birds are singing, all in the green. Going out to the west is Beilang Rock, and the top of the rock is Tianhu Peak. On the other side of the city, high rocks stand alone, and both sides are as steep as the city. There is a buddhist nun on the top of the rock, and there are ladders to climb, so it's not as good as a stream. The eighth song, Drum Tower Rock and Guziyan on the right, Daxie Stone and Haizi Grasping Stone on the left. I crossed the west side of Gulou Rock, turned north at the pier and climbed to the top of the mountain. Two stones stand like drums, and so does the drum rock. The rock is as high as the city, and the deep depression under the rock is like a corridor. The house is built on the railing and is called Gulou Temple. Look up at that rock. There are many boards in the hole. After turning the rock, there is a hole in the wall that is deeper and wider, called Wugong Cave. The ladder under the hole has been damaged and can't be climbed. Looking at the peaks of the three religions, the mountain side is getting higher and higher, and deep trees are on it. At the top of the mountain, there is a pavilion next to it, overlooking the drum tower and drums in the east. There are three peaks on the top of the mountain, and the stone bones are quite natural. Climb up from the stone and get a pavilion next to the cliff. After crossing the pavilion and entering the Shimen, the two cliffs are sandwiched, and the walls stand tall, with a straight line, more than a foot up and down, during which people walk, and their bones are gloomy. Cover three peaks, which are two peaks; There are two feet on its side, so there is no such pruning.
After going down the mountain, turn to the back mountain. A mountain peak is facing the Maoershi, which looks like a drum and is the Baiyun Cave of Lingfeng. To the top of the mountain, from the stone pier to the top, sandwiched between two walls, quite like Huangshan Tianmen. The level is very poor, winding to the bottom of the rock, because there are houses on the cliff, like drums. Looking south, in the upper reaches of Jiuwan, there is a continent in the middle, a stream from the west, which is not divided until it bends into one. The two mountains outside the continent are gradually opening, and the nine songs have been exhausted. It's the rock at the end of Jiuwan, where heavy stones overlap and the land is quiet. As far as the north side of the rock is concerned, one rock is particularly strange: there are cliffs on both sides, and there is only one line in the horizontal depression between the walls. You must crouch and snake to get into the wall. I walked down from the wall; It's getting lower and lower, and the wall is getting more and more dangerous and embarrassing; The lower the knee is, the narrower it is. The snake crouches, hanging only seven inches up and down and five feet wide at the corner of the depression. The outer wall of the depression is deep in Wan Ren. I crawled forward, my chest and back rubbed against each other and lingered for a long time, so I had to take risks. Stones and fruits are stacked on top of each other, and the axe is placed in the middle. The attempt to clear the way failed. After a long time, I returned to the former rock. Even after the rock, the new room is built, which is quiet and lovely. When you go to Jiuquxi, Lion Mountain is there.
Walking back along the stream, I looked at the eight curved face stones and seven curved high rocks across the stream, and all kinds of immortals flew around. Re-anchor the boat, enter the tea cave from the cloud nest, the dome is long and profound, and then you can't go again! It turns left from Wo Yun and enters Fuxi Cave, which is very dark. On the left, the grandson of Yinping, Ziyang Academy, visited the statue of Mr. Ye in the temple. Down the river, two rocks are flying green, which means "opposing" the speed of sailing. Over the south cliff of Tianzhu Peak, dressing table and boating. Since the Royal Tea Garden landed, if you want to bypass Jinjiyan, you will get lost in the thorns and have no way to go. From Yanhou Avenue eastbound, there is a detour in Hebei to climb the peaks of Dazang and Xiaozang, and it is impossible to return. Pass by the stream and get off at Yunv Mountain. If you want to look for a glimpse of the sky from now on, you can't ask questions, but you can't hear each other under the Golden Rooster Cave. Is to find a way along the stream, at the foot of large and small hiding places. In this area, the cliffs are high and the moraine collapses, and the locals plant more tea on them. Walking from Mingke, overlooking the deep stream and climbing the dangerous cliff, the so-called "fairy school" and "hidden fairy cave" are all difficult to distinguish.
I have reached the ditch boat, and I also saw the empty boat, which is clearer and more detailed than what I saw in the stream before. To the west of Tibet, the road is getting worse and worse. There is also a bird's-eye view of the Great Tibetan Western Rock on the thorn wall, and a boat has been built, but the two cliffs are facing each other and cannot reach their land. Suddenly two songs came against the current to a boat and rushed down the mountain to recruit it. People come by boat, and tourists are new here, so they will go back to the dressing table to enjoy the first sight of the sky and the roaring tiger rock. After crossing the boat, he went downstream, wanted to go to the curtain pavilion, and asked Wang Feng. Arrive at a watery stone, make an appointment with the boat to wait for the Xikou, rest on the cliff, enter less, and stop at buddhist nun. After seeing buddhist nun, there was a way up, so I rushed there and got a stone with a monk chanting, which is the Zen stone. The road to the top of the mountain is still to the west of the temple. Turn west before getting off buddhist nun, climb the mountain for two miles, reach the peak, and look for the immortal stone from the trees. The peak next to the stone stands out like an upturned enterprise, and the crane model stone is between the peak and the wall, with frosted peaks and picturesque cracks. The detour is poor, and there is a ladder hanging between the cliffs, and it is tottering to climb up. If the ladder is as poor as a stone, Zhang Xi 'an will lose his body. Rock in the peak half, looking for Xu Xianyan, all stone walls are impassable; Going down the stairs to find another way out is not available; Nie stone has no steps on the cliff, but you throw it on the rough, it is deep and difficult to distinguish. If the servant is in front, he will have a rest and shout loudly. I don't care about clothes. I'm eager to go back. The sun was thin in the west, and I hung my back and fell down. The road was on the right side of Wannian Palace. Entering the palace, the palace is very open. Feather and meet, "although the king can't climb the peak for a long time, Zhang Yanti is here. The six ladders on the summit and the Yan Xu ladder are rotten. Xu Xianyu has moved into Hui Zhen Temple. " Turn right when you leave the palace and pass the real hall. The big maple trees in front of the temple are lush, shaded by several acres and surrounded by dozens of hugs. No feathers. Go back to the boat.
Landing on the 23rd, I found a stone and turned it into a bone, and the water curtain cave won a great victory. Life moved ten miles, waiting in Chishi Street, and Yu Nai joined the real scene to pay homage to Wu Yijun and Xu Xian. When I left the temple, I followed the east foot of Man Ting Pavilion northbound for two miles, and saw the parallel prose of Sanfeng behind Man Ting Pavilion Peak. I asked about its differences and the three Gu Feng. The metamorphic rock is beside, looking forward to it. Climbing the mountain, the flying stream gurgled down. Overlooking it, there is also a dangerous wall. The spring water at the top of the wall is prominent and the bamboo forest is hidden, which is very beautiful. However, I'm on the board and can't go back. So I went from San Gu to the upper part to exchange bone rock, which is the cliff behind Man Ting Peak. There is a buddhist nun in front of the rock. Hanging two floors from behind a rock, climbing a rock. The rock is not very deep, but it is surrounded by mountains. The natives used wooden boards as their houses, competing with each other and turning with the rocks. Climb up along the rock gap, several times to the top of the curtain pavilion, and stop at the road jam. Go back to the foot of Sangu Peak, go around the back, and then walk along the old road until you can see the sudden spring. Cross the ridge from now on, that is, water curtain cave Road; Since then, that is, the spring wall has also sprung up. From the top, I didn't do my best, and even rebuilt it. Looking up at the sudden spring, more than half of it, the water is diverted by it, the ladder frame is set up, the wall is cut into a ditch, and the spring water is led. Looking up at the sudden spring, more than half of it, the water is diverted by it, the ladder frame is set up, the wall is cut into a ditch, and the spring water is led. I followed the ladder, climbed the wall and came to the bottom of the sudden spring. Its depression is only two feet, and the upper and lower walls are dangerous. The spring falls into the depression from the upper wall, and then overflows and falls from the depression. Up and down the depression, there is no place without water, and a stone protrudes from it to sit on. After sitting for a long time, the lower wall follows the bamboo road and crosses the ridge three times. It is about seven miles away from the mountainside, and it is the dock. Go up through the stone gate, half a mile, and you will find water curtain cave. The cliff is steep, protruding upward, embedding downward, and the spring water falls from the top of the rock. Rocks are expanding, springs are scattered, countless, hanging and pouring them, which is also a grand view! Its rock is high and convex, so the number of chambers under the rock is heavy, while the flying spring still falls outside the sill.
It's quite strange to see Tingzi Village on the road first. The road flow means that I'm still on the road, and I can get there over the mountains. Out of Shimen, I fell in love with the victory of dock creek and took the wrong way to Chishi Street. Passers-by refers to crossing the bridge south from here or walking. From then on, I climbed a mountain pass and was sandwiched between two mountains. There were rocks and rooms in it, and the title was "Duhai Rock", which was misrepresented by the natives as the ear of the pavilion. Re-entry, another rock, with an arc sill hanging from the building, looks very close to Chishi Street. From the old road, Sanli, crossing a stream, and another mile, Chishi Street Daxi also. Get off the boat, hang the sail for 20 miles and return to Chong 'an.

Traveling to Zhejiang and Fujian is a thing of the past. My wish is to visit Mount Emei in Sichuan and Guilin in Guangxi, as well as Mount Taihua and Mount Hengshan. As for traveling to Luofu Mountain and Hengshan Mountain, that's the next step. The next step is to go to Wuxie in Zhejiang and Laoliao in Fujian. But in Sichuan, Guangxi and Shaanxi Guanzhong, because my mother is old and far away, she can't travel immediately; Hengshan, Xiangjiang and other places, you can travel when you pass by, you don't have to make a special trip. Consider going nearby, preferably through Jiang Lang and Shisan, and then go to Jiuliao. So on the second day of the Dragon Boat Festival in Geng Shennian (the first year of Taichang, 1620), my uncle Fang Ruo and I set out to travel as scheduled. At this time, it is the ripe season of litchi in Fengting City Inspection Office.
On the 23 rd, it began to pass through the Green Lake in Jiangshan County. The mountains gradually overlap, and most of them are steep peaks in the east, very steep, like barriers; The mountain in the west is not high, so squat down slowly. Look at the end of the mountain in the east, and there is a mountain peak in the south that stands out, soaring into the sky. One is Jianglang Mountain. Staring at Jianglang Mountain, I hurried forward and walked twenty miles across Shimen Street. The closer you get to the mountain, the mountain suddenly splits into two and then becomes three; Soon, the mountain was split in two and cut straight down; Close to the mountain, the top of the mountain is sharp, and the bottom converges, as if to be disconnected, but connected. As soon as people move their steps, the mountain shape changes, changing with the clouds! There are Lingfeng in Yandang Mountain and stalagmites in Huangshan Mountain, which are dense, steep and straight. They are already magnificent landscapes, but they are all located in deep mountain canyons. Many peaks hide from each other, but they lose their "strangeness". As for Dinghu Peak in Xu Yun County, it is independent and towering, and its momentum is even more majestic; Only Bushu Mountain stands beside it, and the two mountains are equal. From a distance, it seems to be a mountain, which is not as good as this Jianglang Mountain. It stands out from other peaks and shows its strangeness. Arrive in Xinghua on the seventh day of June.
On the eighth day of the eighth day, we set out from the west gate of Xinghua Fucheng, traveled five miles to the northwest, climbed mountains and reached Caoxi for forty miles, and there were more than a few mountains up and down the way. Taixi is the downstream of Jiuliao. After Yingxifu, walk two miles and cross the stream from Shibu. Two miles further, a path extends westward to the ravine, and there is a stone step road in the north, which can go around the mountain. At this time, the mountain is deep and hot, and there is no pedestrian on the road. I don't know where to go. I estimate that the water in Jiuli Lake flows down Jiuxi, and there must be a wonderful place to climb up, so I took the stone steps. Uncle Fang and his servants were afraid of climbing mountains and thought they were going the wrong way. Soon, the neighborhood became narrower and narrower. They thought they were going the wrong way, but I got more and more excited as I walked. Soon it was getting higher and higher, the road was endless, the sun was scorching, and I was tired myself. A few miles, climb the ridge head, thinking it is the highest peak; Turn to Xishan, where there are peaks twice as high as this ridge. Walking back and forth along the mountain, three miles, Ping Ye is spacious, just like the story of Wu Lingren straying into the Peach Blossom Garden, he has no idea that he is above Wanfeng. There is a pavilion on the way, and the road leading to Xianyou County extends from the west, and the east is the road I take. Go south across Tongxian Bridge, cross the hill and go down. This is the former residence, here is the Penglai stone of the Bell and Drum Tower, and the Emperor is here. The stream flows from Penglai stone, and the stone under it is as flat as a millstone, and the water overflows from the stone surface, which is symmetrical as a layer of yarn. Slightly downward, there are many holes in the smooth bottom. The round holes in the potholes, called stoves, mortars, squats and wells, are all named after the word "Dan" and are the remains of Nine Carp Fairy. The stream flows slowly across here and suddenly falls into the lake, just like a horse at the beginning, which is really thunderous. This is the first-class waterfall wonder in nine places. Jiuxian Temple is built on the west side of the waterfall, facing Jiuli Lake. The lake is not mighty, but it is clear and blue in the mountains, surrounded by green trees and rippling blue waves. It's really strange to deify the creation of nature! On the right side of Brewmaster Temple, there are Stone Drum, Zhuyuan and Gumei Cave. The Gumei Cave is next to the temple. It is made of a big stone overhead, and the gap in the stone forms a door. Going up along the crevices, there used to be Brewmaster Pavilion, and there used to be the Crystal Palace in front of Brewmaster Temple, but now they are all destroyed. Directly opposite Jiuxian Temple, the water that falls across Jiuli Lake is the second to ninth grade waterfall. I walked along the right side of Jiuli Lake and came to the third waterfall. I came back with uncle Fang. I said, "Tonight, you should calm down, save your strength and wait for the dream of the Nine Immortals. Take the trouble to visit the wonders and wait until tomorrow. " Go back to Jiuxian Temple, go to Penglai Stone and walk barefoot in the stream. The bottom of the ravine is flat, and the water is clear and shallow, flowing slowly. The sandbar islands all over the water, like fairyland, lift up their skirts and cross over. Sitting in front of the temple at night, the rising moon hangs on the peak and overlooks the calm lake water. The scenery and mood in front of us are very good. There was only ironic water in the silence, and the sound of Reddy Falls came from time to time. That night, I prayed for the Nine Immortals in the temple.
On the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, I left Jiuxian Temple and went down the mountain to explore the end of Jiuliao. Jiudi is about a few miles away from Jiuli Lake. Walking down from the third waterfall, the road has been broken for a long time. A few months ago, Yuyao, a person who offered a drink in imperial academy and Putian County, ordered Lushan Mountain to open this steep Osamu Yamaji to Jiudi and go out from Yingxi. I regret that I didn't go up the waterfall from the path yesterday, but detoured along the road and lost the opportunity to see this wonderful sight. So I packed my bags and diverted, and went out directly from my ninth brother. The second stream is called Waterfall, which is in the south of Jiuli Lake, just opposite Jiuxian Temple. At the end of the lake, the water flows straight down and into the deep valley, just like being split by a knife, with cliffs on both sides as steep as walls and as high as thousands of feet. As soon as the water flowed out of the lake, it was blocked by stones, and the water potential could not be unblocked. The rushing water falls from the air, and the waves splash and water droplets splash, making the water and rocks look extremely magnificent. Further down is the third beaded spring, with the same scenery as a waterfall. There is a pavilion on the cliff on the right, called Guanlan Pavilion. A stone called natural sitting is also covered with a pavilion. From here, you go up the mountain, down the river and walk in the canyon. The mountain walls on both sides of the canyon are turned down and widened. Julian Waterfall falls from the front, and Yuzhuoquan Waterfall sprays water mist from the side. The two waterfalls hang side by side, and the two walls of the canyon are steep downward, surrounded by cliffs like iron walls and mountains as high as the sky. Two waterfalls, like jade, fell into the pool. The water in the pool is extremely deep and green and clear. Although smaller than Jiuli Lake, it is surrounded by cliffs and waterfalls. Only here is the best scenery! This is called the fourth stream.
Just arrived at the bottom of the ravine, Fang Shu was busy walking out of the canyon, sitting at the mouth of the canyon and waiting for me, and didn't come in again. I walked alone on the stone road at the bottom of the ravine, sat on the stone beside the pool, and looked up at two waterfalls flying angrily in the air. The stone wall Isonokamibe overturned like an urn. As soon as the rising sun rose to the top of the cliff, it was covered by falling water waves and jumping waves. I bowed my head and looked up, at a loss and reluctant to leave. Walking down the mountain stream, both sides of the canyon suddenly became steep, and a stream of water flowed down obliquely, and the road on the right side of the mountain stream was broken. Looking to the left, I saw a board on the steep rock, between the steps, crossing the stream and climbing up. So I waded across the stream and walked from the left, which was the fifth wash-Shimen. The cliffs on both sides are close to the middle here, which can only accommodate a glimmer of sky. If it doesn't close, it won't open. The mountain springs below are turbulent and misty. People crawl in the middle, just like monkeys. When the cold wind blows, people almost fall down. Roughly from the fourth stream, the valley has been deep, the road has been broken, and the depth is steep to the extreme, and only springs and birds can be heard.
Out of the fifth polyester, the mountain gradually widened. The steep cliffs on the right side of the mountain stream are arranged like obstacles, and the Fengfei peak on the left side is hovering and dancing, and the surrounding water is criss-crossing, some are clear pools, and some are reflected in the canyon. As for the sixth star, the seventh flying phoenix, the eighth chessboard stone and the ninth general rock are all named in order. Since the clouds are steaming in this area, the interest is obtained in the mountains and rivers. Where is it necessary to deliberately pursue the traces of one scene and one thing? Generally speaking, water is free and unrestrained by virtue of the situation in the canyon. The cliffs and boulders that collapsed on both sides of the water flow are obliquely inserted into the rock bank, and the stone chambers are horizontally arranged, layered like stones, and twisted into stone caves; Waterfalls are in the air, small ones circulate around rocks, and clear springs are accumulating. Rocks can sit and rest, springs can be washed near, bamboo and wood can be shaded, and clouds and smoke can help. The beautiful scenery between Wan Li makes people linger all day. Every time I go to a place and see another cave, I have to go through a rock crack, and the cave twists and turns, so I can't exhaust the beautiful scenery at once. As for the current, some hang on the cliff, some gather together, and some fly like the wings of birds, overlapping water and spraying. Even Sandiequan Waterfall in Lushan Mountain and Longshu Waterfall in Yandang Mountain can only win by their own characteristics. Unlike this mountain, the local and overall scenery is perfect.
When they came out of Jiudi, they turned along the mountain stream and walked five miles to the east. Only then did someone cultivate and firewood on the mountain with white clouds floating, and they were very surprised to see someone coming. Walk five miles to the stone steps of Yingxi, and go out by the usual way.
On the tenth day, we crossed the garlic ridge and arrived in Yuxi. It is said that there is Shizhu Mountain ten miles west of Henglusao. The rocks on the mountain are the most famous, and it is also the place where the Nine Immortals pray for their dreams. There is a saying in Fujian that "you can visit Shizhu Mountain in spring and Jiuli Lake in autumn". Now you can't miss the opportunity to visit this scenic spot face to face, although it doesn't coincide with the best festivals. So I went out on a whim. Because it is fifteen miles away from Yuxi, I stayed in Yuxi. 1 1 After arriving at the glass shop, take the path to visit Shizhu Mountain. Walk five miles west towards the mountain and cross a small ridge. Walk five miles and cross the stream, and you will reach the southern foot of Shizhu Mountain. Turn west along the foothills, and look up and see the cliffs at the summit, such as gathering and splitting. After a walk to the northwest, there is a building facing west with its back to the mountain. This is a hiking route. The stone steps were steep, so I walked up in a short coat. The stone steps are tortuous, the trees are shaded, the trunk is curved like a dragon, and the old vines are coiled on the steep and inclined rocks. The ape jumped up and down and kept crowing. Suddenly I saw a pavilion on the steep stone, tall and straight, standing in the air, with nothing opposite. This pavilion is located on the hillside. Then turn to the steep stone steps. At the end of the stone steps, flying stones are built in mid-air like houses. Turn up two more turns, enter from the side door of the cave, and get out of the cave to Jiuxian Pavilion, which is tall, spacious, elegant and neat. On the left are monks' houses, all built on the mountain, which can be seen from a distance. Behind the pavilion stands five or six steep peaks, all of which are tens of feet high. The distance between each peak is two or three feet, and the gap is like a knife. The road twists and turns through the gap and you can walk to the top of each peak. Pine trees lie prone and old vines spread. Looking around, they are all scenic spots. The monk sent fragrant tea, which was produced in the mountains. From the path down to the steep rock, there is another path on the left side of the road. I said, "There must be strange scenery from here." So I walked along the path, and sure enough, there was a cave embedded in the mountainside. Go through this hole and you will reach the Mid-Levels Pavilion. Go down the mountain, go to Lu Heng, and return to your hometown. The trip lasted 63 days, crossed two ridges, passed through 19 counties 1 1 prefectures, and visited three famous mountains.
