Mount Li extends from northeast to southwest, reaching the Qinling Mountains, majestic and majestic. There is no evening view in the north and east. Even on the west side of the peak ridge, it is far from sight and nearly invisible. Only the ancient Bashang, a Baqiao area famous for its "snowstorm in Liu Ba" since ancient times, is not far away and relatively moderate, which is the best location. Whenever the sun goes down, the afterglow of the setting sun paints Mount Li with a faint Xia Hong color. The mountains are all red and the forests are all dyed. Its charming natural scenery makes people linger. This scene often evokes people's historical memories of Zhou Youwang's "The Prince of the Bonfire Play", as Zhu Jiyi, a poet in the Qing Dynasty, said: "The sun is shining at dusk, and the bonfire comes from the west with hesitation."
Baqiao area starts from Bailuyuan in the south and reaches the Weihe River in the north. Within forty or fifty miles of Fiona Fang, you can see the beautiful "Night Scene of Mount Li" everywhere. However, the scenery you see in different places and from different angles has its own characteristics. From the tomb of the thin queen mother in Zhaizhai to the original site of Wufang Village, the mountains are magnificent, bright as mirrors, and golden light shines. Overlooking Bachuan, the brilliant glow sets off the scenery of Baling, the fields of cottages, green trees and young crops. Looking down at your feet, the viewer is even more "strange": there is no shadow at all in the sunset, no matter people or things. It turned out that because Mount Li reflected the strong sunlight on the shady slope of Bailuyuan, it "converged" with the afterglow of the western sunset and became a "shadowless mountain".
However, the mansion only sees the scenery on the west side of the main peak of Mount Li. If we want to face the main peak and look at the overall situation, its best position is in the south bank of Weihe River and the north of Bahe River. It turns out that the main peak of Mount Li is divided into three levels. From top to bottom are beacon tower, old mother hall and laojunmiao, and nearby village houses, rocks and trees. They are clearly visible, but they are completely enveloped in a fiery red light, just like a glass building, crystal clear and colorful. According to local villagers, the best season to watch the "Night Scene of Mount Li" is summer. At this time, farmers working in the fields can look up and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Mount Li. It's really "the summer solstice is red and the fields are singing!" "
Since ancient times, people have enjoyed the moving scenery of "Night Scene of Mount Li" and left many famous poems. Zhu Guangting, a poet in the Song Dynasty, said: "The beauty of Mount Li, as always, lies in the poet's feelings." Since ancient times, "the sunset glow of Mount Li" has been listed as one of the eight scenic spots, and it really deserves its reputation.
