1, fairyland on earth, Huaguoshan
Huaguoshan is located in Lianyungang City, Jiangsu Province. The gate of Huaguoshan Mountain was built in July 1996. As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the mountain, the atmosphere of Journey to the West came to my face. The mountain gate is based on the skeleton of the traditional ancient city gate and is rendered by modern expression. The Monkey King's head is at the main entrance, and there is a circular pattern on the back, which symbolizes the perfection of merit. On the north side, there are four reliefs of Tang monks and apprentices learning from the scriptures. There are six carved lions at the bottom and 109 stone monkeys around the square to welcome guests. On the back of the mountain gate, Shen Peng, acting chairman of China Calligraphers Association, wrote the words "Dongsheng Shenzhou". Through the doorway in the middle, you can see the statue of Wu Cheng'en in the pine forest.
Walk along Xianren Bridge, Zhujieling and Shibapan Mountain, or take a bus to the top of the mountain. There is a stone that looks like a carp on the side of Shibapan Road, with its head on the ground and its semi-dedicated body underground. According to legend, the ancient emperor was afraid of the instability of the country and sent many Yin and Yang teachers to visit and destroy Long Mai. On this day, one of them came to Yuntai Mountain, found the carp stone, and saw the first Tianmen on this ridge. He knew that carp would become dragons as long as they jumped over Tianmen, born in the mountain owner's house, and would rob the emperor's country when they grew up. Master Yin and Yang found the mountain owner and told him the truth. The mountain owner was very happy and asked how to make carp jump over Tianmen. Master Yin and Yang told him that he could fly to Tianmen conveniently as long as eighteen plates were put next to the carp stone. So the master hired someone to build eighteen plates day and night, and the Yin and Yang teacher left with confidence. It turns out that carp can only become dragons by jumping over Tianmen. If it falls on eighteen plates, it can only be a plate on earth, and the feng shui is broken like this.
Climb eighteen episodes, the worse gate is not far away. In The Journey to the West, it is the outer door of the Jade Emperor's Lingxiao Hall. Every time the Monkey King goes to heaven for help, he must pass through here first. The old Guandi Temple in Nantianmen was destroyed by Japanese invaders. Lin Zexu visited before the Opium War, leaving behind three famous laws.
Arrive at Jiulong Bridge from Nantianmen. Kowloon Bridge is one of the main scenic spots in Guo Hua. It is located in a valley surrounded by mountains. Nine streams meet at the foot of the mountain and then rush to the sea. In the past, pilgrims went down the Nantianmen path to the bottom of the valley, and after a short rest, they could continue to climb up. Although this rise and fall increased the danger of mountaineering, it also increased the ups and downs. Jiulong Bridge, built in Ming Dynasty, is a massive brick arch bridge, which not only facilitates passers-by, but also leaves a beautiful work of art for future generations. Ginkgo biloba near the bridge has a history of nearly a thousand years and is a relic of the Song Dynasty. It covered the Kowloon Bridge with dense shade. The mountain breeze bursts on the bridge, the flowing water gurgles under the bridge, the pines and cypresses are full of ears, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and the fatigue of tourists is completely eliminated. To the south of the bridge is the Kowloon General Temple, which is the bridge temple of this bridge; High in the north is the Tea Temple, which used to be reserved for tourists to rest and taste tea, but now it has been converted into the Wu Cheng'en Memorial Hall. Climb along the mountain road or take a cable car to Sanyuan Palace. Sanyuan Palace is the main temple in Yuntai Mountain and the main building in Guo Hua.
Water curtain cave is a natural fractured cave with an artificial tunnel leading to a lower platform. There are many precious inscriptions in front of the cave. The Buried Stone House was written by Daoguang in Qing Dynasty and presented to Prince Shaobao, the minister of war, and Tao Shu, the governor of Liangjiang. In the 12th year of Daoguang (1832), Tao Shu was ordered to come to Haizhou to reform the salt policy, which achieved remarkable results, and turned the Qing court treasury into a profit, and there was a short-term resurgence. So the emperor gave him the honor of kissing the name of the book. Three years later, Tao Shu once again came to Haizhou as an imperial envoy to inspect the effect of salt policy reform and started the repair work of Yuntai Mountain Temple, which made the scenic spots in this area suddenly look brand-new. In order to commemorate his achievements, the local people carved the imperial book "Buried Stone House" next to water curtain cave. The word "Lingquan" was written by Shi Yu during Jiaqing's reign. "Lingquan" refers to the small square well in the cave. Although the well is not big, there is water all the year round and drought will not dry up. Folklore mentions it.

There are many historical sites here, which is the birthplace of ancient Haizhou civilization. There are cliff carvings in Kongwangshan, paleolithic sites in Taohuajian and general cliff paintings in Neolithic age. Kongwangshan was named after Confucius climbed the mountain here to look at the sea. It contains rich historical and cultural connotations and is highly respected by tourists of all ages.
More than 2,500 years ago, the famous story "Confucius asked officials" (Confucius once asked Ganzi's official system on this mountain) happened here. Today, in memory of him, a statue of Confucius watching the sea was built on the top of the mountain. There are many scenic spots on Kongwang Mountain, including floating pavilions, inkstone cups and plates, stone statues, stone toads, Longdong ancient temple and so on. The most famous is the Buddha statue at the southern foot of Kongwang Mountain, which is 200 years earlier than the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang.

6. Yushan Hot Spring
Yushan Hot Spring is located at the foot of Yushan Mountain and is now called Donghai Hot Spring. As early as the Ming Dynasty, it was recorded in the Annals of Haizhou in Qin Long. Because it is located in the border, there are only two small temples and several barracks. The so-called hot spring is also a small puddle. People who come from far and near to treat diseases all bathe in the open air. 1973, Jiangsu geological team took a look at the perennial artesian well here, and the wellhead water temperature was 82℃.
The water quality of Donghai hot springs is excellent, without sulfur smell and greasy. Spring water has decontamination ability, so you don't need soap to take a bath. In the past 20 years, this wasteland has become a mysterious place. Wide roads, rich hot spring hotels, hospitals, sanatoriums, shops, hotels, banks and post offices have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, forming a well-equipped hot spring town with small sparrows, attracting hundreds of thousands of people to soak in hot springs every year.
