There is a Zilai Cave on the waist of Jade Emperor Mountain, standing in front of the cave overlooking the mountain, there is a Bagua field, is the Southern Song Dynasty Emperor sacrificed to the first farmers when the pro-plowing place. Yuhuang Mountain below the Ciyunling south slope there are two niches in the Five Dynasties period of statues, for China's Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, one of the masterpieces of stone carving statues.
Mount Jade is located between the West Lake and the Qiantang River, with an elevation of 239 meters, standing out in the sky and lined with blue sky and white clouds, which makes it look even more majestic and lofty. Whenever the wind rises when the clouds, stand on top of the mountain to climb the clouds on the Pavilion, the ears but heard the sound of Xi Xi, sometimes there are clouds and mist come, fly across and go. Lakes and mountains are vast, the river and sky tide, this scene is named "Jade Emperor Flying Clouds". With its magnificent, sublime and selected as one of the ten scenic spots of the new West Lake.
Mount Jade Emperor, also known as Jade Dragon Mountain, was called Dragon Mountain in ancient times. During the Five Dynasties, Wuyue five from the Mingzhou welcome to take the statue of King Ashoka enshrined here, the mountain is also known as the king of the mountain. The name "Jade Emperor" actually began in the early Qing Dynasty, when a spacious Taoist Jade Emperor Palace was built on the top of the mountain, and the mountain was named after the palace, which was then called Jade Emperor Mountain. Modern writer Yu Dafu had written a travelogue "Jade Emperor Mountain", one of the paragraphs said: "Ascending a look, the northwest year to get all the smoke and clouds of the West Lake, and the band of peaks around the lake; southwest is the river, leaf sails, there is a beckoning to come and go, swinging the momentum; to the east look forward to the Sea Gate, a little Sundance Peak, two sides of the three Chao Road weather more majestic; as for the other side of the Yue Shan, the giant pagoda at the river, because it is high up in the sky, and the mountain, and the mountain, the mountain, the mountain, the mountain, the mountain. As for the Yue Shan across the river, the giant pagoda, because it is the relationship between the high ground, looking down, but feel plugged in inadequate.
From the Linhai Pavilion at the northern foot of the Jade Emperor Mountain, along the green stone paved stone steps, within ten minutes you can come to the Ciyunling. Ciyunling is the dividing ridge between Jade Emperor Mountain and Phoenix Mountain. On the ridge there is the ruins of Wuyue Dengyuntan, which was later changed into Ciyun Palace. After the abolition of the Taoist temple on Jade Emperor Mountain, this taciturnity was remodeled into a birth garden with sparse flowers and trees and exquisite stacked stones. Ciyunling south slope, drought first Buddhist temple Shilongyuan, existing Buddhist statues of two niches, carved in the Wu-Yue state. It is a masterpiece of the West Lake Grotto statues. Since the Ciyunling westbound, all the way to willow fir folder road, grass and trees grow, green shade ramp, the strange rocky, the birds are often heard. Suddenly, the mountain road up, a steep slope appeared in front of us, called the threshold of the gold, meaning that to climb Mount Yuhuang cave heavenly blessings, here to the gate. Climbed over the threshold of gold, from the side of the top of the Zilai Cave continue to climb along the mountain road, the top of Mount Jade Emperor Fuxing Guan to. Fuxing Guan built in the Qing Dynasty Yongzheng years, commonly known as the Jade Emperor Palace, was once the largest Taoist building in the West, there is a complete imitation of the palace-style complex, the central axis in turn for the mountain gate, Zhenwu Hall, Dalaoboden, half a Muge, on both sides of the Hall of the Three Qing Dynasty, the Hall of the Three Officials and the ancillary rooms.
Today, the Taoist temple has long been gone, but the architectural pattern is still largely preserved, while the new Dengyun Pavilion, looking at the lake, etc., for visitors to look down on the railings from a distance, the party "of the river three folds", "six and the tower of the shadow of the", "Lakes and Mountains", and other scenic spots. In the old days, people in the Taoist sect had boasted "sixty-four views of Mount Jade Emperor", although there are sweeping Taoism eight eight sixty-four hexagrams of yin and yang said the head of the face of the people to make up the number of suspicions, but it also shows that Mount Jade Emperor's potential landscape resources are really quite a lot, some of which have been for the people to hear and to see. For example, from the mountainside to the south overlooking, you can view the gossip field scenery, gossip field was originally the Southern Song emperor row symbolic ploughing ceremony to show that the advice of agricultural registration field, and later evolved into an octagonal field, the center of the He mound, around the division of the eight blocks, respectively, planted with different crops, the four seasons of the color is different, thus forming a gossip image, can be said to be climbing Mount Yuhuang a major spectacle of sight-seeing.

Nine Streams and Smoking Trees
"Streams" is the main part of this area, and with the mountains and trees, the water is more and more elegant.
Yueyue, a scholar at the end of the Qing Dynasty, traveled to the nine streams of poetry: "nine streams eighteen streams, the most beautiful place in the mountains. The former long heard of its name, today began to poor its interest. Overlapping mountains, curved ring road. Dang ding ding springs, high and low trees." Between the lines, the beauty of the landscape is portrayed to the fullest extent. After being designated as the new ten scenic spots, the name was changed to "Nine Streams Smoke Tree".
Nine Streams, commonly known as "Nine Streams and Eighteen Streams". It is located in the west side of the West Lake in the mountains under the ridge of the cockles. It is connected to Longjing in the north and Qiantang River in the south. The source of the Wengjia Mountain Yangmei Ling, through the convergence of Qingwan, Hongfa, Tangjia, Xiaokang, Foshi, Baizhang, Yunqi, Qingtou and Fangjia nine brooks, twists and turns hidden, into the Qianjiang River.
West Lake landscape, since the Middle Tang Dynasty has also been iteratively combed, development, scenery gradually become more sophisticated, so that some people slightly suspected of excessive carving. In fact, it is not. Nine streams and eighteen streams is located in the West Lake three Yunshan southwest corner of the West Lake, the plane was 'Ya' shape, from north to south into the Qiantang River, generally known as the province of nine streams. Here, rolling hills, dense forests, sunny weather full of cuiwei, colorful meal; in case of rainy days, cloudy and misty, smoke and arashi floating, the scenery is wonderful. JiuXi more mountains, JiuXi rich water, landscape **** generation look endless countless green trees CuiYellow, weeds and flowers. Bamboo flowers and grasses, and give the mountains and fields to the color, to the spirit, and then rendered by the smoke and arashi, will be the overall presentation of the beauty of the feminine and subtle, the beauty of the simple and wild, which is the nine streams of the smoke tree can be among the fundamental reasons for the new West Lake Ten Scenic Spot.
From the Six Harmonies Pagoda West, the Qiantang River side of the Xu Village north into the mountains, all the way to the line, a picture of the mountains, forests, villages and wild scrolls will gradually show in front of us. Initially, the paddy fields, villages and mountains, idyllic scenery; then, the mountains gradually close to, seem to want to be with the people it is close, the mountain streams in the roadside gurgling and singing, streams beside the grass and trees beautiful. As the road turns deeper and deeper, the mountains are green, the trees are green, the grass is green, the mountains are also green. Unconsciously, people have stepped into the green bushes, and the mountains into one. Late Qing scholar Yu Yue (Qu Yuan) in the "Spring in the Hall Essays" on the nine streams appreciated, he wrote: "West Lake victory, not in the lake and in the mountains. Bai Le Tian said Cold Spring a pavilion, the most Yuhang and armor Lingyin, and Yu is said to be nine streams eighteen streams, is the West Lake's most winning place, especially in the Cold Spring above also."
However, the beauty of the nine streams, lies in the natural, ordinary, wild, heavenly music, the tourists must be normal heart tour, can find all kinds of unusual landscape aesthetic feeling. Tour nine streams, and must slow down the pace, slow down the mind, leisurely, fine, enjoy the cliffs here, smoke, green trees, the sound of the stream, bird song, cloud shadow, do not come and go in a hurry, live up to this side of the clouds and mountains scenic. Nine Streams and Eighteen Streams, the two branches above the 'Yaya' shape diverge and converge in the Creek in the Caikan to form the trunk below, which is injected into the Qiantang River. From the 'Creek in the Creek' to the east along the creek, is the 'Nine Creeks', can reach Yangmeiling Village. This road is full of mountains, old trees and shade comparable to the famous Tianmu Mountain Nature Reserve in western Zhejiang. From the 'Creek in the Creek' to the west, it is the 'Eighteen Streams', all the way to the peaks and turns, the clear stream qin rhyme sometimes high and sometimes low, suddenly suddenly slow; shallow flow or meandering at the foot of the mountain, or sneaking in the rock crevice, or overflowed in the road, but also from the step of the stone vacancies gently tumbled down, splashing a piece of thin The water droplets, sprinkled a string of laughter. I do not know traveling through a few mountain screen, a few valleys, the sound of dogs and chickens, the dense forest through the green tiles and pink walls of the eaves shadow, the tea township Longjing village suddenly on the road. I do not know which village which store in front, how many mountains and how much water.
