There are famous caves on the mountainside, such as Bailong Cave, Xuandong Cave, Longji Cave and Liu Xianyan. Because there are mountains, water, holes and springs here, the natural conditions are superior. As early as 1000 years ago in the Tang Dynasty, when the famous poet Li Bo was a local official in Guilin, he set about developing it into a scenic spot. After years of revision, officials have become perfect. On the nanxi river, there is an antique single-arch double-curved bridge with a bridge pavilion and Bailongquan beside it. The spring is clear and clean. According to legend, in ancient times, this spring was used as the tea-making for the Emperor of Shanggong, so it was called "Gongquan". There is Jinlian Island dozens of meters downstream of the bridge, and there is a curved bridge connected with the river bank on the island for tourists to visit freely.
According to the analysis of geologists, Nanxi Mountain belongs to pure thick limestone, which, like Jidu Mountain and Luohan Mountain millions of years ago, was gradually divided into solitary peaks after being continuously dissolved by water. This water became the nanxi river. The north of the mountain is surrounded by nanxi river, and nanxi river flows into the Lijiang River around the mountain. Nanxi Park, the wind and rain bridge on the stream, and the "Bailongquan" in the south of the bridge are said to be "Gongquan", which was once given to the emperor by spring water.
There are three groups of interconnected caves in Nanxi Mountain: Bailong Cave and Guodi Cave are connected north and south, Guanyin Cave and Longji Cave are connected east and west, and Yan Yuan and Chuanyunyan intersect north and south. Are developed from young underground rivers in different periods. The earliest cave is Longji Cave, which began to be eroded about 1 million years ago. Bailong Cave and Guodi Cave, Yan Yuan and Chuanyunyan started to develop about 654.38 million years ago, and a relatively complete underground river was formed tens of thousands of years ago.
Now these three groups of caves have been artificially opened and connected into one. From the stone trough in Bailong Cave to the Jinshan Yinshan in the pot bottom cave, the dried shrimps hanging on the wall in Yunyan, the Guanyin statue in Yan Yuan and the high mountains and deep valleys in Lingdong Cave, the total length is 523 meters, forming a tortuous, rotating, ups and downs, ups and downs, deep and illusory world of abode of fairies and immortals.
Out of the Longji Cave, I came to the saddles of two peaks in nanxi river. People call it the Dragon Ridge and build the Dragon Ridge Pavilion. Looking at the ridge of the east wind on the pavilion, it is only a few feet thin and uneven, much like the back of a dragon; The west peak is towering and towering, and the smoke from the kitchen is curling up. From your mountain in Longji to the south, halfway up the mountain to Liu Xianyan, the cave is divided into two floors. According to legend, Liu Jing, a Taoist priest in the Northern Song Dynasty, practiced here and became immortal after his death. There are dozens of inscriptions on the rocks. The earliest developer of Nanxi Mountain was Li Bo, the governor of the Tang Dynasty, more than 1000 years ago. Li Bo loves the clear water and quiet forests of this mountain, and there is still a stone carving of his poem "Away from Nanxi" in the cave: "I often sigh that the spring spring is gone forever, and it is even harder to come here today. If you want to know the pity after parting, I will plant stones and flowers in my hands. "
