There are tender and delicious fish such as herring, grass carp, crucian carp, mandarin fish, silver carp and mandarin fish in the bay. It has always been a treasure trove for local fishermen to survive. Sails are like forests, and fishing boats gather all year round. According to legend, at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, Fu Cha, the king of Wu, and his beloved concubine stayed here for the summer. Every moonlit night, fishermen arranged their boats end to end in a long snake array and stood at the bow and stern to sing loudly, hence the name "Summer Fishing Song".
Mao gongxue

Mao Gong was the nickname of Liu Gen, a Taoist priest in the Han Dynasty, and was named after building an altar here to make an alchemy. Maogong stone altar is located at the bottom of the wharf. The real palace behind the altar has been destroyed, and the alchemy scene in front of the altar is still there. The four characters of Mao Gong Shi Tan were sealed by Yi Shunding of Qing Dynasty.

Yang Xuan Dao Lang got his name from this. Yan Xu, a adherent of the late Qing Dynasty, wrote the poem "Rice Waves in Yang Xuan": "There are many white clouds hanging in the dangerous stone hall. At the beginning of the wind in Qiu Lai, it looks like a green wave. " Visitors can enjoy the beautiful scenery of rice waves here, but also share the joy of farmers' harvest in sight.

Whenever it rains in the lunar calendar, pear blossoms are everywhere, rippling in the sea of flowers, like clouds like snow, hence the name "Linli Pear Cloud". Since the Republic of China, pear forest has been gradually replaced by orange forest. Nowadays, the scenery of flowers is gone, only the famous stone tablet is left. Visitors can only wander through the beautiful scenery of the past from the poem "Pear Blossoms Clouds, Fame Spread to Song Shijun" written by Zheng Bo, a adherent of the late Qing Dynasty. After the passage of time, there are still some trees in the ruins. "

There are four mountains in the south as the screen, Wujiashan in the north as the barrier, Baoshan Wharf in the west as the lining, and Taihu Lake, which is famous all over the world, is separated from the village in the east. Jilong Mountain has always been known as Wuzhong for planting plums. Therefore, Xue Mei was nicknamed the chicken coop.

Everywhere is so emotional and interesting.
Da sha Guan fan
The scenery is in the southwest of Xishan Island. "Where did the fishing sail go? Gather in Dalongshan. " Dalongshan stands by the water. During the Wanli period of Ming Dynasty, Yuan Hongdao, a scholar, praised the "Longshan Stone" here, which was full of water and matched with Feng Shui. . There is a natural port at the foot of the mountain. Every evening, all kinds of fishing boats come into port one after another. The boat is in the middle, the boat is next to it, one row in the east and one column in the west, in good order. Like a mast in a forest, it is uneven. The fishermen's laughter, one after another.

In the morning, whenever there is a cloud around the mountain, it is sometimes gorgeous and colorful, just like a shaken colored silk; Sometimes beautiful and unrestrained, as if it were a transparent gauze; Sometimes I want to show and hide; Sometimes the peak breaks several times, with silhouette scenery, or sword peak shape, or steamed bread shape, or branch shape, or thin waist shape. On and off, the changes are endless. Xia Yun has become a beautiful ornament of the rime peak, so it is called rime sunny.

Stone work and autumn moon
Shigong Mountain in the southeast corner of Xishan Island. In autumn in the south of the Yangtze River, it turns sunny to cloudy, the sky is high and the clouds are light, with stars and bright moon in the sky. According to legend, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Fu Cha, the king of Wu, and Beauty Stone enjoyed the moon in Shigong Mountain, not looking up, but looking down, because Shigong Mountain was near the water and the moon shadow was not far from the mountain. The bright moon floating in the water, with its dripping personality, soft and timid temperament, shy expression and beautiful face, gives people unlimited reverie. No wonder Bai Juyi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, happily wrote to Yuan Zhen after enjoying the beautiful scenery of the stone bow and autumn moon: "You should envy your news and spend five nights in the moonlight." In Song Dynasty, Fan Zhongyan wrote the poem "Stone Bow and Autumn Moon": "Who is the day of autumn night? The moonlight is 30 thousand hectares. "
