Yantou Town is about 25 kilometers away from Shidaoyan. I pulled the bus alone and got to my destination in less than forty minutes.
When you get off the bus, you can see a boulder isolated in the sky, like the mast of a ship full of sails. This is the stone mast rock. It is said that this stone mast rock is more than 300 meters high from the foot to the top of the rock.
Tickets for Shiwanyan Scenic Area are 50 yuan. The scenic spot is not big. Nanxi river turned an Ω-shaped circle around Shijie Rock. Our tour route is to walk along the Ω-shaped coast of nanxi river and enjoy the beautiful mountains and rivers around Shijie Rock along the way.
Such a tour experience can't help but remind people of yesterday's visit to the Dalong Waterfall Scenic Spot in Yandang Mountain. Dalong Waterfall Scenic Area is surrounded by a scissors peak. From different angles, the image of this scissors peak is changing. Crocodiles, magnolia flower buds, woodpeckers, bears and masts move to change the scenery. And the stone mast rock, looking at the surrounding peaks, looks like warriors, vultures, unicorns and fishbones. There is another difference, that is, there is no water at Scissors Peak of Dalong Waterfall, while the green nanxi river flows down the Shigan Rock.
Nanxi river flows through the entrance of the scenic spot, and reaches a hundred meters long river before Shiyan. The water surface is relatively flat and wide. On the wide river, many bamboo rafts and kayaks are parked. Perhaps because of the season, these bamboo rafts and kayaks are not for tourists.
Walking along the flat and wide river, you can see the rock root of Shigaoyan, where a low dam is built to intercept the river in nanxi river. It turns out that this flat and wide water surface is artificially blocked, not a natural river.
Below the short dam, the current in nanxi river is so small. On the flat and wide river beach, there are all large and small white pebbles. There is a quiet and green river in the depression of the river beach. It is the tiny rushing waves and the quiet green river that make the beauty of Shidaoyan in nanxi river different from Dalong Waterfall, Lingyan and Lingfeng in Yandang Mountain.
It's not far from the experimental road. There is a cave on the mountainside, and there is a sign below it, Red Army Post. This place in Zhejiang has the saying that seven mountains, one water and two fields are divided. In the past, if people in this place didn't go out to do business and work, they couldn't live a well-fed life in this small field at home. Therefore, it is not surprising that the Red Army used to fight local tyrants and divide fields in this place.
From the foot of the mast rock to the back of the rock peak, through the collapse crack, is the rock tree. On a smooth stone, many unknown old trees are attached. The vigorous old roots cling to the cracks in the rocks and absorb the growing nutrients from the poor small soil.
Standing in the position of the stone tree, looking across from nanxi river, there is a stone peak called Bushiyan. The stocky mountain looks like a soldier's body, with a stone like a human head on it.
It seems that the path along the shore of nanxi river has changed from the position of stone trees to the plank road on the rock wall with stone masts. Not far from the plank road, you can see the peak on the other side of nanxi river like an eagle spreading its wings. This is Ling Jiu Feng.
If you think the image of Ling Jiu Feng is still a little far-fetched, then go a little further along the plank road and look back. On the other side of nanxi river, there is the Kirin Peak with both gods and shapes.
At this time, you can see an iron chain bridge hanging in the air on nanxi river, inexplicably standing between two mountains. There seem to be several caves in the middle of the opposite mountain. Is there a temple in this cave? I don't understand. I can only see that both ends of this iron cable bridge have been closed, and it should have been impassable for a long time.
Walking up the plank road, it is a not too deep cave in the semi-rock wall, Narcissus Cave.
The cave walls of Narcissus Cave were blackened by incense, and even many responsive pennants and red lanterns hanging on the cave walls were shrouded in black smoke. It is said that there once lived a narcissus girl in this cave. Narcissus girls often treat nearby villagers with drugs and are deeply loved by nearby villagers. After the death of Narcissus Girl, people named the cave where she lived as Narcissus Cave in memory of her.
However, if a good girl is not a fairy, why should she live in a cave? Stories made up by China people often can't stand scrutiny because they don't consider logic at all.
After the daffodil cave, the plank road began to climb higher and higher on the cliff of the stone mast rock, and the other plank road was made of glass. However, it seems that this glass plank road should be a long time, and people will not feel afraid when walking on it. However, standing on such a high plank road, you can overlook the scenery around the stone mast rock.
The distant mountains are covered with lush green trees. In the nearby nanxi river Valley, streams gather green ponds of different shapes and sizes. East and west, scattered on the white pebble beach. The plank road extends from the steep green trees, spirals upward, leads to a pavilion in the half wall of the stone mast rock, spirals downward and disappears into the green trees.
Follow the plank road of Shijieyan to nanxi river Valley. Nanxi river also began to turn here, leaving the stone mast rock and flowing to the northwest.
Go further along the nanxi river Valley, and you will arrive at the Little Three Gorges, another scenic spot in nanxi river.
The Three Gorges, as its name implies, should be a canyon-like landscape. From the map of Gaode, Shiyan Scenic Area does not have such strange peaks and rocks as Qilin Peak, Bushi Peak and Ling Jiu Feng. I asked other tourists and said that the Little Three Gorges Scenic Area is not famous and few people go there. So, I decided to end my trip to Stonemast Rock.
But judging from the time, I only stayed in the scenic spot for less than 40 minutes. At this time, I seem a little sorry about the ticket to 50 yuan.
Fortunately, at the bottom of the stone mast rock plank road, besides the road leading directly to the gate of the scenic spot, there is another stone road leading to a nearby hill with dense pine and bamboo.
Walking up the stone steps, I saw a small stone gate on a ridge. There are two small green characters on the gate, Pillow Mountain. There is also a small pavilion next to this gate.
Through this small door, down, around a circle, and returned to the original starting position.
Now, there is nothing to see, so we have to walk to the gate of the scenic spot step by step.
Next to the gate of the scenic spot, there are local peasant women selling a kind of food called Xiancao. Similar to bean jelly, dark. It tastes cold and cold, slightly sweet, and has a strong herbal flavor. Five yuan a bowl.
Chatting with the peasant woman who sells fairy grass, I know this thing is made of a plant similar to mint. It is famous in Zhejiang, Fujian, Taiwan Province, Japan and Southeast Asia.
When you leave the scenic spot and ask at the station, the bus from Shiqiaoyan to Yantou Town doesn't leave until half past two in the afternoon.
It's still early, so we can only sell tickets in the scenic spot. I saw a local making a kind of bread. Q, it is said that this is called wheat cake, which is a famous local specialty in Wenzhou. With stuffing, there are dried plums and shredded radish. Bread is baked on a baking tray with fire without oil. Fifteen yuan each. I bought a dried plum and tasted it. Dried prunes don't seem to have any special taste, but the bread has a strong noodle flavor. That's it.
There are still few passengers on the bus back to Yantou Town. In the scenic spots here, almost all the tourists come by car, and almost all of them come by car like this.
When the bus arrives at Yantou Town, get off at once and look for CMB at Yongjia Academy.
Find the bus driver of Yongjia Academy. The driver said: The bus to Yongjia Academy doesn't leave until 4: 30. If you go to Yongjia Academy now, you will definitely miss the bus back to Yantou Town after the game. Tonight, you must stay at Yongjia Academy for one night.
? I feel a little depressed. Think about it, the most important Shigan Rock in nanxi river Scenic Area has been there, and Yongjia Academy is no problem.
No, in fact, this so-called Yongjia Academy is just a new building built a few years ago. The name of the academy is hung in the scenic spot. In fact, the main attraction is the landscape. I want to go to Yongjia Academy because I take it for granted that there may be something for Xie Lingyun here. After all, in Yongjia, Xie Lingyun is a figure that can't be bypassed anyway.
? It is because my stay in Yongjia is too short and I have been to too few places. In Cangpo Village and furong village, I only saw a few landscape poems about Xie Lingyun and Yongjia in the exhibitions in the villages. This can't satisfy my curiosity and thirst for knowledge at all.
Xie Lingyun, the satrap of Yongjia in the Southern Dynasties, I know, was the founder who wrote Yongjia landscape poems with a stroke of a pen and made them an independent aesthetic object of poetry. Is the creator of the idiom "gifted scholar and beautiful woman". His famous sentences such as "Spring grass grows in the pond, willow turns into a songbird" and "The moon shines on the snow, and the wind is sad" are still memorable.
Forget it. Let's go back!
There are more cars from Yantou Town to Oubei Town than from Yongjia Academy. Unfortunately, it was past 4: 30 in the afternoon when the bus arrived in Oubei Town. The bus from Oubei Town to Wenzhou South Station has stopped.
Fortunately, there is a ferry next to Oubei bus station. Spend two yuan, cross the wide and swift Oujiang River by ferry, and then go straight to Wenzhou South Station by car.
There is a train to Lishui at Wenzhou South Railway Station almost every ten minutes, and the running time only takes more than half an hour.
Tonight, I want to live in Lishui. Tomorrow, as planned, I will go to Gu Yan to paint the countryside and the canal platform.
