Beautiful Home—Huoshi Village
Huoshi Village—my beautiful home, is located in Xiji County, a mountainous area in southern Ningxia. Because its mountains are dark red, especially in Under the cover of green trees, it looks like a burning flame, hence the name Huoshizhai. The beautiful mountains and rivers, the gathering of humanities and the unique and charming natural landscape here deeply attract the hearts of tourists.
Today our family plans to visit Huoshi Village again. I am extremely excited and can’t wait any longer. After squeezing into the bus and listening to the tourists talking, laughing and talking, I couldn't wait and my heart had already flown away... When I walked into the gate, I saw the three characters "Yuntai Mountain" printed on the strange peaks and rocks as red as the clouds. Its special landform of red cliffs and numerous stone peaks deeply attracts tourists. ah! How dangerous! It's so high... The tourists all let out different sighs. Look, the main peak is extremely steep. It is about 100 meters high, in the shape of a hump, with cliffs on three sides. "The benevolent enjoy the mountains, the wise enjoy the water, and the brave enjoy the dangers. It depends on us today," said an old man, striding forward. We stepped on the artificial stone steps and held on to the iron chains, climbing step by step. There are more than 30 caves on Yuntai Mountain such as the Jade Emperor Pavilion, the Great Buddha Hall, the Bodhisattva Hall, the Niu King Hall, and the Wanshou Hall. The caves are all built on the cliffs. When you are in them, you will feel refreshed and ecstatic. Most of the caves are rectangular and flat. There are stone statues with strange postures in the caves, the largest of which is the statue of Sakyamuni Buddha. The Zen Buddhist Temple Grottoes are carved on a spire-like pagoda-like stone peak, like a spear piercing the sky, with four walls hanging in the air, which is strange and unusual. Climbing to the top of the peak, clouds and mist float below your feet.
Climbing over the top of Yuntai Mountain, it is the spring and summer season. The mountain is full of wild flowers and grasses, colorful, bees and butterflies are dancing, and it is full of vitality. Clusters of arrow bamboo grow among the sparse trees, adding a touch of southern beauty to Yuntai Mountain. Follow the curved stone stairs and arrive at Lover's Valley unknowingly. There is really a scenery everywhere, and the scenery changes step by step! Surrounded by mountains, the place is graceful with green peaks, blooming flowers, chirping birds and fragrant flowers. It is profound and elegant, as if you can feel the breath of the earth and touch the heartbeat of the earth. The strange natural shapes here are like miraculous craftsmanship, and the sky is in various forms - some are like pyramids, towering into the clouds; some are like ancient castles, flat, steep, and gentle; some are like flying rocks; some are like prostrates. Some are like lions and beasts of the earth; some are like attics, with layers of windows opening up to the young and beautiful soul; some are shaped like flat-topped square mountains and red cliffs, with grace and roundness in their majesty. It’s really “mountain peaks are high, caves are deep and bridges are dangerous, mountains are green, winding and deep
