Peach Blossom Stream
is located at the northern foot of Xiangshan Mountain. Qing Qianlong's "Jiangyin County Records" contains: "There are dozens of feet of streams in the left post of Xiangshan, and there are four peach trees in the stream, which is called Peach Blossom Stream." From top to bottom, the stream runs through Qinglonggang, with a total length of about 8 meters. The source of Jianshui comes from the spring eye at the top of the mountain, and it does not dry up all the year round. Now it is the natural lake Lunv Lake at the top of Zhongfeng Mountain. Overlooking the panoramic view of the Peach Blossom Stream from the peak, the whole mountain stream is winding and shadowy, hidden in thick green coverage; Several Longgang roads on the left and right sides of the stream are majestic, and converge down to the intersection of Taohuajian Mountain Pass. The mountains turn with the stream, just like a blooming peach blossom. In those days, Xu Xiake visited the Peach Blossom Stream three times, twice under the moon and once in the rain. The peach blossom stream in the spring rain is magnificent, just like the waves of the Three Gorges. Ten steps east of the Peach Blossom River Pass, there is a cave named Peach Blossom River. Originally a civil air defense fortification, this cave is now open to tourists. It is about 2 meters high and 2 meters deep. The wall is smooth and wet, and there are spring beads dripping from the cracks, which are loud and clear. There is also a long mountain stream named South Peach Blossom Stream at the southern foot of Xiangshan Mountain, which is separated from Peach Blossom Stream by a hill. This stream is close to Tingsongyin, which is far away from Meixiangshan Plum Blossom Hall. Although this stream can't compare with the spectacular sight of strange rocks and rapids and waterfalls in the north stream, it is full of green springs all year round, clean, cold and sweet, with deep forests and dense grass, and the scenery is extremely elegant.
Xiangcai Trail
is located at the southern foot of Xiangshan Mountain. Qingganlong's "Jiangyin County Records" reads: "From the foot to the top, it is curved to climb the stone, and the feet are full of clouds. It is said that the King of Wu tried to send a beautiful woman to pick incense on it (the mountain has horseshoe fragrance, and Du Heng also has it), saying that Xiangcai Trail." The whole path twists and turns from southeast to northwest along the mountain, about five miles long, almost across the entire Xiangshan Mountain. The diameter and width are generally about three feet, and the pines stand upright on both sides, and the roads are paved. The exotic flowers are gorgeous and the grass is fragrant, and the scenery is beautiful and fascinating. Walking on the fragrant path, you can enjoy the small stone forest, listening to pine songs, Xiangshan Temple, Shengguotan and other scenic spots one by one. It is no wonder that Xi Shi came here and was intoxicated by the beautiful scenery in front of him, and even lingered. The fragrant path naturally attracts many tourists, and thus leaves many poems chanting the fragrant path. Such as: "Spring is as bright as vanilla for thousands of years, and people are as clear as plum blossoms", "Fragrant paths are cold and flowers fall, and flying springs are meandering".
Tingsongyin
is located on the south hillside of Xiangshan Mountain. When you look around, there are thousands of pine forests on a hundred acres of mountains, which are spectacular. When the wind comes, a hundred branches shake, the vast forest and the pines surge, and the huge waves roll over, shaking into a huge music field. During the Republic of China, Mr. Liu Tianhua, a national musician from China, went back to his hometown to visit his relatives in the province, and also specially visited and listened to the songs of the Song Dynasty, which inspired his creation. His erhu solo "Birds in the Empty Mountain" fell in love with one pulse, and I don't know how many listeners it attracted, making it a masterpiece. Listening to Songyin suffered a historical catastrophe. After liberation, the people's government advocated afforestation. After decades of efforts, Xiangshan was dressed in green again, and listening to Songyin was full of vitality.
Shengguotan
Also known as Shunguotan, it is said that in ancient times, Dayu took a rest in the southeast of Xiangshan to quench his thirst by taking spring water. He felt that the spring water was clear and mellow, so he untied his sword and expanded it into a pool, hence the name Shunguotan. Located in the middle of the peak of Xiangshan Mountain. The pool is generally round, about 2 meters in diameter, surrounded by rocks, and looks like a big well. There are springs under this pool, so the water is very clear and does not dry up all the year round. There are snails with or without buttocks in the pool, which has become a wonder in Xiangshan.
Tibetan Army Cave
Located on the east side of the top of the Tiger Back, the main peak of Xiangshan, there is a stone-capped hole, about 8 cm square. This is the Tibetan Army Cave, a famous historical site in Xiangshan. According to historical records, the Tibetan Army Cave in Xiangshan was first built about 3, years ago during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. At that time, He Lv, the king of Wu, dominated the country, attacked the more Chu, and went to war. Due to the need of attack and defense tactics, many Tibetan army caves were dug and built in Xiangshan and Changshan along the Yangtze River. In the 197s, archaeologists found a large number of geometric pottery and red pottery with the characteristics of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in the Tibetan Army Cave on the northwest slope of Xiangshan Mountain, which confirmed this historical record. According to research, the Tibetan Army Cave is a tunnel-type A-shaped structure, with narrow top and wide bottom. Both walls are made of stone blocks, with a height of 5-1 meters inside and a width of 4-5 meters between north and south at the bottom. It is tunnel-shaped in the east-west direction and a depth of 25 meters. The unique features of the Tibetan Army Cave in Xiangshan are: first, every three Tibetan Army Caves are grouped into one group, and the finished products are arranged in a regular zigzag pattern. There are 9 groups of * * *, and each group covers an area of about 2,5 square meters, which is not found in Tibetan Army Caves in other places; Second, the direction of tunnels in the cave is parallel to the direction of the mountain, and soldiers enter and leave from left and right, not from front and back, while tunnels in other places are mostly perpendicular to the direction of the mountain; Third, Tibetan army caves on other mountains are generally built halfway up the mountain, and only Xiangshan Tibetan army cave stands on the top of the mountain and becomes condescending; Fourth, the Tibetan Army Cave in Xiangshan is the closest to the Yangtze River in the "Great Wall of the South of the Yangtze River", which may be related to the fact that Xiangshan has always been regarded as an important strategic position of the gateway to rivers and seas. After proper processing and arrangement, the Tibetan Army Cave in Xiangshan has been restored to its original appearance and decoration and opened to the outside world.
Meihuatang
was originally located in the depths of the bamboo forest in Xiaoxiangshan, and was first built in the Song Dynasty. According to legend, Su Dongpo's career was frustrated in his later years. At the invitation of his friend Ge's family in Jiangyin, he visited Meihuatang several times to enjoy health and wrote a plaque on Meihuatang. Xiyan Lake was named after Dongpo's inkstone washing. Because it is close to the ancient battlefield of Shihumen between the big and small Xiangshan Mountains, Meihuatang was once destroyed by war. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Yingxia (the brother of Xu Xiake), who was addicted to mountains, rebuilt the Plum Blossom Hall and planted plum bamboos in the mountains. On a clear breeze and bright moon night, Xu Xiake's brothers sang for fun and enjoyed its beautiful scenery. Xu Xiake did not forget this meaningful life experience, and featured five poems and a long preface as a souvenir. With the passage of time, by the late 195s, both Meihuatang and Xiyan Lake had disappeared, and the surrounding plum blossoms were gradually scarce. In recent years, the municipal and township governments have taken measures to develop Xiangshan tourism resources, and Meihuatang and Xiyan Lake have been included in the tourism development plan. The new Plum Blossom Hall is five antique buildings. The main hall is written by Dongpo, and there are paintings and poems by Po Weng and Xu Xiake in the hall, so that tourists can be influenced by Chinese civilization from sightseeing.
18 scenic spots in Nansha
Nansha Township, which is near Zhangjiagang Port, was known as "Eight Scenes in Xiangshan" as early as the Ming Dynasty because of its numerous mountains and scenic spots. After Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Gaozong Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, ten scenic spots were added one after another, which were called "18 scenic spots in Nansha". There used to be a plum blossom hall here. Climbing over the mountain from Xiangshan Bay is the "fragrant path". Caixiang Trail starts from the northwest slope of Xiangshan Mountain and ends at the southeast foot. It is about 5 miles long. According to legend, it is the place where Fu Cha, the king of Wu, played with Xi Shi and his concubines in the Spring and Autumn Period, and built the "Caixiang Temple" as his palace. At present, the lower section of Xiangcai Trail has been cut off by mountain quarrying, and the upper section is still there. The mountains are covered with trees and trees, and the scenery is pleasant. Xiangshan is divided into big Xiangshan and small Xiangshan. At the junction of the two mountains, it is as steep as a cliff, forming a stone gate. Because it looks like a tiger guarding the pass from a distance, it is known as the "Stone Humen". It is surrounded by mountains on all sides. Originally, the two mountains were connected to each other. Later, due to military needs, the government ordered the people to cut the mountain and open the road for more than 5 meters, forming a stone gate. The situation here is dangerous, showing the potential of and while one man guards it, and it is a battleground for military strategists in past dynasties. Now it has been built manually and can be used by cars. Near Xiangshan Mountain, there are Changshan Mountain, Fenghuang Mountain, Zhenshan Mountain and other mountains, such as the stars arch the moon, which are really beautiful, and all the mountains and mountains are home to Tibetan military caves (also known as General Cave). Among these mountains, there are the most hidden military caves on the top of the mountain. The largest Tibetan army cave can accommodate more than a thousand soldiers. It has a kitchen, a conference room, a storage room, an arsenal, etc. It has always been known as the "Jiangfu Great Wall"! Out of Jiangyin East Gate, you can see the bonfire built on the highest peak of Phoenix Mountain from a distance. The beacon tower, also known as beacon pier, was originally built during the Spring and Autumn Period. Daxiangshan was originally named Taohua Mountain. According to legend, during the Spring and Autumn Period, peach trees were everywhere on the mountain, like clouds. There is a big stream in Gangxi, with a spring at the top, which sprays water all year round. Whenever the peach blossoms are in full bloom, the petals fall into the stream and drift with the water, which is poetic and picturesque. Tibetan Army Cave, Beacon Tower, Peach Blossom Stream and other historical sites still exist and are listed as key cultural relics protection units in Zhangjiagang City. Since February 1986, four ancient tombs have been discovered on many hillsides in Fusha, including one in Han Dynasty and three in Song Dynasty. The tomb is located at the foot of Changshan Mountain, about 15 meters from the ground. There are artifacts such as bronze mirrors and pottery pots in the unearthed Han tombs. Among the three Han koos, there are colored glazed pottery pots in Cizhou cellar, two pairs of porcelain bottles with double earrings, animal foot porcelain incense burners, porcelain bowls, bronze mirrors with double ties, small square bronze mirrors, bronze mirrors with octagonal inscriptions and other cultural relics. According to records, Cizhou cellar came from Hebei, Yuejiao from Zhejiang, and bronze mirror with inscription came from Guangdong. The appearance of the above-mentioned cultural relics fully shows that more than 2 years ago, the Changshan area of Nansha, with the Yangtze River in the north, was an important town on the north-south traffic line with convenient transportation, residents gathering and commodity circulation! These cultural relics, which sparkle with the brilliance of ancient culture, have been buried for thousands of years and almost forgotten. In recent years, due to the opening of Zhangjiagang to the world, 18 scenic spots in Nansha have regained their brilliance, and a string of antique "pearl ancient necklaces" has been put around the emerging seaport.
Xiangshan Temple
is located at the top of the southeast of Xiangshan Mountain. It was built at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and has a history of more than 1,7 years. It is one of the 72 temples in the south of the Yangtze River and is known as the "Buddhist Holy Land" in history. The vicissitudes of history, the original temple has long been forgotten. In March 1993, it was rebuilt on the original site with the approval of Zhangjiagang Municipal People's Government. In September, 1995, it was officially registered, and Buddhist venues were opened. The Shanmen, Tianwang Hall and Daxiong Hall in the first phase of the project were completed at the end of 1994, and the first-class famous temples in the south of the Yangtze River have begun to take shape. The mountain gate was built on the hillside of Xiangshan Tiger at an altitude of 125 meters. The "Xiangshan Temple" plaque above the mountain gate was written by Zhao Fu, vice chairman of Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. Climb up from the mountain gate, cross the 45-step granite steps, and enter the towering and solemn Heavenly King Hall. Climbing up the stairs again, it is the Great Hall of Heroes with grand scale and extraordinary momentum. This is a large-scale building with two-story pavilions. The temple is 21 meters long from east to west, 13.8 meters wide from north to south, 15.5 meters high on the back, with a building area of 282 square meters. Yellow walls, red windows, carved beams and painted buildings, the modeling format is in accordance with the Daxiong Hall of Lingyan Temple in Suzhou. The scale of the main hall is second to none in Jiangnan area. The overall planning construction area of Xiangshan Temple is 6,7 square meters, with a total investment of 6 million yuan. After the completion of the first phase of the project, by 22, we will continue to build a seven-level pagoda and ancillary halls such as Dharma Hall, Guanyin Hall, Buddhist Scripture Hall and Monk's House. There are two gardens in the temple, the East Garden and the West Garden. There are release ponds, rockery belts, merit pavilions and so on. For the convenience of believers, tourists and sightseers, there are also Foguang Mountain Villa, vegetarian restaurant and dormitory building. The temple is clean and tidy, and the trees are shaded. There are all kinds of trees and lawns around the Heavenly King Hall and Ursa Major Hall. Flowers are in full bloom in all seasons and the environment is pleasant. The halls are stacked on top of each other, and they are magnificent from all directions. Covering an area of about 1 mu, the temple is small and exquisite, and the number of worshippers and tourists who burn incense is increasing year by year. At present, there are 7 monks who become monks, and the person in charge is Fa Chan. Xiangshan Temple stands in the temple forest in the south of the motherland in the name of a famous mountain and temple, and becomes a shining pearl embedded in the top of Xiangshan Mountain.
Xiangshan Mausoleum
is located at the eastern foot of Xiangshan Mountain, covering an area of 2.6 hectares. It was completed before Tomb-Sweeping Day in 1992. The cemetery faces the square, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the bamboo is holding a monument. On the front of the cemetery, a stone tablet square with a height of 8.7 meters and a width of 15.4 meters is erected, and the top of the square is engraved with the "Xiangshan Mausoleum" inscribed by Peng Chong, former vice chairman of the National People's Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC). There is an arched three-hole bridge with a length of 2 meters and a width of 8 meters, which is called "Guanhong Bridge". On both sides of the bridge stand two sculptures, one is "sand"
