Daoshan Pavilion Scenery of Daoshan Pavilion

The existing Daoshan Pavilion 1955 and 1980 were rebuilt and renovated in 2008. The pavilion is an octagonal wooden structure with a perimeter of12m and a height of 6m. It has a stone foundation with bluestone relief and a cement floor. The double eaves are tilted and the top is decorated with pumpkin shape. There are four stacked wells on the back, one with three rows of herringbone stacked wells, two with longevity, three arched wells and four with seven stacked wells. The wellhead is like a bowl with a rose hanging in it. The wooden structure is decorated with exquisite patterns. The pavilion is built on more than ten rugged hills, and the beauty leans in seven directions for tourists to rest and enjoy the cool; Enter the door to the east and climb 12 steps to the pavilion. The new hanging pavilion "Daoshan Pavilion" was inscribed by calligrapher Wu Naiguang. Two couplets, door couplet: "The scenery behind the account is quiet and the balcony is deep everywhere"; Pavilion column couplet: "Jiang Guang embraces Chung Shan Man, the trees are far away and the trees are shaded by thousands of wells", and the poems written by Zheng Shuxin, a native of Changle, are extracted respectively.

The ancient trees around Daoshan Pavilion are towering and lush; There are more than ten cliff stone carvings in Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasties. There is an ancient fig tree on the south side of the pavilion, which grows tenaciously on the cliff next to the stone path and is called "Waterfall Banyan Tree". The tree is over 100 years old and is listed as a second-class protected ancient tree in Fuzhou. The trunk bust of ancient banyan is more than 6 meters, and it is divided into three parts when it is less than 1.5 meters above the ground. The height of the tree is only15m, but its branches are developed, exceeding 18. Most of them bend to the south, and are lifted up and down along the steep stone wall, extending down for more than ten or twenty meters. Some branches cover the road pavilion, and the whole crown is upside down, just like an umbrella that holds up the sky, so it is easy to enjoy the cool under the big tree. The ancient banyan not only has many air roots, but all the air roots are connected with the trunk and branches of the ancient banyan. In order to seek moisture and nutrients, the roots of trees are wrapped in rock walls and climb more than ten meters, which is like a waterfall pouring on the smooth rock surface, which is spectacular, hence the name "waterfall banyan tree". On the west side of Daoshan Pavilion, there is a natural granite stone, more than 2 meters high, shaped like a seal script, engraved with three Chinese characters "Tianzhangtai", written by Cheng Shimeng to the west. Tianzhangtai is one of the thirty-six wonders of Wushi Mountain. On the east side of Daoshan Pavilion, there are two toad stones side by side. How tall they are, they are as lifelike as two squatting toads. One of them looked up at the sky and the other was struck by lightning in the first half. It is said that it wanted to eat swan meat all day, and was chopped by lightning for half its head, and the remaining one dared not move. The three Chinese characters "Daoshan Pavilion" in Cheng Shimeng's seal script are engraved on the chest and abdomen of Toad. Cliff stone faces north, 2.2 meters high, 0.85 meters wide and 0.7 meters in diameter. The rock wall on the north side of Daoshan Pavilion is engraved with the full text of Ceng Gong's "Daoshan Pavilion", and the cliff face is engraved to the north, 2 meters high and 5 meters wide. In 2008, Fuzhou Municipal People's Government reprinted it, written by calligrapher Zhang.

Boarding the pavilion and having a bird's eye view of the whole city of Fuzhou has always been a topic that people talk about. After thousands of years of vicissitudes, the rivers and harbors inside and outside Fuzhou described in the story of Daoshan Pavilion crisscross, and the landscape of "Hundred Buddha Palace" is no longer there. Instead, it is a bustling scene with different styles of high-rise buildings, criss-crossing roads, pedestrians intertwined and all-night markets. However, the "three hills stand on tiptoe" is still the same, and the ancient buildings with "gorgeous rooms" in three squares and seven lanes are still quite well preserved and full of youth; The Daoshan Pavilion has been beautifully renovated, and the scenery of "beautiful mountains and rivers, large and small cities and splendid palaces" remains the same.
