One day in the fall, the sky was high and the clouds were light, the golden phoenix was cool, the fragrance of Dan Gui. With his wife not far away from a thousand miles away, I came to Benxi's tourist mecca - Benxi water hole.
Look up and see the blue sky is exceptionally clear, a few white clouds leisurely floating in the blue sky, a look of pleasure is very envious. Looking out the car window, green mountains, blue water, water gurgling, winding mountain road, unknown wildflowers spread over the mountains, the whole green mountain embellished with very beautiful. The breeze is refreshing, and the fragrance of flowers is overflowing, which is refreshing. Together with the very different beautiful buildings, adding a few points of magnificence. Such a fairyland, as if the beautiful masterpiece of the painter's pen, how can not make a person's heart, forget to return.
Under the tour bus, only to see the mountain in front of a, the strange stone abruptly, Cuilin densely covered, silver bridge waterfalls, blue ripples, clear spring bubbling. Blazing sun in the sky, the tourists, pavilions and pavilions, flowers, picturesque beauty into the eyes. Have to marvel at the beauty of nature. Tourists have to grab a photo in this memorial.
I. Water Cave.
Pick up the steps, along the green stone paved path into the dry cave. The cave is a small, dark cave that is uneven and undulating. Inside the colorful lights flashing, follow the guide all the way forward, do not pay attention to, turned a corner, suddenly was in front of a thing startled, fixed eyes, it was a dinosaur. With the guide's speech, know a little. A few steps further, only to see is a few dinosaurs, different body shapes, and can not name. In the reflection of the colored lights, it seems to be exquisite, alive and well. Because the lights are dim, can not see what handwriting is written on it, can only follow the flow of people continue to go forward.
Across a wooden bridge, came to an open space, only to see a rather large elephant standing there motionless, a lion and tiger lying on the ground. Not far away, a large lizard stood motionless and cocked its head at the visitors. Turn around, only to see a dragon pool about a few meters deep, a huge dragon hovering in the winding undulating hillside, looks lifelike, alive. The dragon pool and tiger's den could not help but give one the creeps and fear. Turning around, a few mischievous monkeys were laughing and playing in the trees, greeting the passing tourists. Another place, a few primitive people in front of the thatched hut men plowing and weaving, hunting and living. Looking at all this, I learned that this is the Liaodong people in ancient times. At this time, the guide told us a beautiful legend about this dry hole:
The people of the Kanto Mountains, the place where the mountains and water turn is called "Waili". Benxi County, eight miles east of Xiejia Weizi, backed by mangled green mountains, facing the water of the Taizi River, towering peaks, meandering streams, idyllic and picturesque, the weather is a thousand. The Benxi Water Cave is hidden in the belly of Xiejiawailizi Mountain, which is like a fairyland on earth. The original name of Benxi Water Cave is Xiejiaweizi Water Cave, which is deep and long, like a labyrinth. There are water caves, dry caves, and outward flowing water caves. Three holes in one, each with a strange scene. Into the arch-shaped hole, you can see the spacious "Zixiao Palace", the left side of the dry hole, the right side of the mouth of the lagoon Yinbo hole, a waterfall from the more than two zhang high immortal hole down, pouring into the nine curved Milky Way like the water hole is just like a spring to welcome the guests, XiXi cool wind brushing the human face, so that people are relaxed.
The dry cave is shaped like a coiled dragon, about a hundred feet long, the cave heights are staggered, wide and narrow, hole in the hole, winding paths, the wonders of the natural world. In the cave, there is the "Eye of the Sea" which is connected with the sea; there is the "Wall of Balsam" with overflowing fragrance and golden color; there is the "Dragon's Aweed Barrier" which touches the earth and connects to the sky, and which is made up of wisps of silk and a trickle of fine streams; and there is also the "Suspended Rock Peak" at the top of the cave which is like ten thousand sharp knives emptying out in the air and wanting to go down and other marvelous sights. Ride a flat boat, along the water hole known as the "nine curved Milky Way" upstream, where, clear and quiet, deep more than ten feet, the water hole as high as a few zhang, two or three zhang wide. The riverbanks and overhead are full of spectacular views. Boat line five miles of the Milky Way, around thirteen turns, was stopped by the boulders, abandoned the boat wading into the water, inside the water hole or wide or narrow, or high or low, the water or deep or shallow or slow or rapid, unpredictable and dangerous, visitors had to be afraid to stop.
Yujing Mountain under the cave, there is a heavenly beauty of the fairy, named Taiyuan Jade Lady. She and become manly Hongjun fell in love at first sight and gave birth to a son named Jade Emperor; a daughter named Jiu Tian Xuan Nü. There was the Golden Turtle Stone One night, from beyond the blessed cave came the sound of thunder, the vast expanse of water came pouring out of the sky, and the people were swept into the waves to sink and float. It turned out to be a monstrous beast with many horns and many mouths, spitting out a hundred or ten feet high columns of thick water from its mouth. Hong Jun raised his walking stick and fought with the monster for 90,000 rounds, but still could not distinguish between high and low. Hongjun drank, "This sin-creating beast, no matter how much water you have in your middle two, you won't be able to fill my vial."
Nine heavenly basilisk girl from behind to unload a white jade bottle, to load the monster spit water flow, the monster spit seven seventy-nine days, that water is all loaded into the white jade bottle, just cover the bottom of the bottle. The beast is not convinced, and then spit 9981 days, only more than half of the bottle of water, the jade bottle is not yet full. Eventually, the monster lost, worship Hongjun as a teacher, willing to redeem the crime, Hongjun spell will be spraying water monster pressed under the water hole, let it spit under the hole, the water gushed out of the ground. From then on, the water Dongting Lake water, dry days do not dry, rainy days do not flood.
When the sea gradually receded, Hongjun and his wife and children were busy reorganizing the mountains and rivers, so that after the flooding of the earth and grow flowers and trees, trees bear fruit. He was about to open the door of the Purple Heavenly Palace of Yujing Mountain, which had been sealed with sacred soil, when he suddenly heard the sound of crying in the distance, and looked up to see that it was a number of gods and goddesses who were worried about the world and loved the people who cried there that there were no more human beings and birds and beasts between heaven and earth. Hongjun led the audience to the Yujing Mountain, hand patted the door and said: "Yujing Mountain, Purple Heaven Palace, hiding a hundred thousand and eighty thousand lives, flying birds and beasts hidden in the cave, a pair of men and women to do the human species."
Hongjun old man was about to uncover the blocked in the palace door of the sacred soil, suddenly from the sacred soil arched out of a big rat head, three scurrying two scurrying run out of the hole, that rat than piglets are still big, the Hongjun and all the gods and goddesses startled! The rat was even bigger than a piglet, so Hongjun and the immortals were shocked! While they were in a daze, they could only hear the squeaking of a dragon, the crowing of a chicken, the biting of a dog, and the squealing of a pig from inside the cave. Then from the eye of the hole arch out an old bull, the old bull is behind the tiger, the tiger is behind the big horse, the big horse is behind the sheep, the sheep is behind a jumping little monkey, the monkey is behind a colorful rooster, the rooster is behind a big yellow dog, the dog is behind the arch out of a big black pig, and finally from the hole hand in hand out of a young man and a big watery girl.
Hongjun counted, know that they have been in the hole for three hundred and sixty-five days, two young people jade elephant sucking water and birds and beasts drink the purple sky palace in the agar and jade liquid into the clear water. Elephants drink water with the nose pump, never looked up, and other stay in the immortal hole of the lion, apes, elephants, owls and other birds and beasts, all turned into stone like. That a man and a woman returned to the cave married, had children and grandchildren, many children and grandchildren, became the ancestors of the Han people. The two of them can be drilled out of the cave day and night, thanks to those smart and brave beasts, in order to make their children and grandchildren as smart and brave, according to the size of the work, to the children and grandchildren set the twelve signs of the Chinese zodiac.
Every year on the eighth day of April, the earth's gods and goddesses are driving auspicious clouds, to the Purple Heavenly Palace party, eat fairy fruit, drink jade syrup, play fairy music, blowing the hole weaver stone xiao ...... the immortals see Hongjun open up the Palace Polygon so majestic, all marveled at the good, have to give the gift of treasure decorated Purple Heavenly Palace. Purple Palace, all the exotic treasures, auspicious light, a thousand ways, a thousand scenes in a hole, the water around the hole line, interesting. Later, the earth out of greed, poisonous as a snake, often to the Purple Palace to steal the treasures of the Immortals, in exchange for high-ranking officials, seeking wealth and glory, the cruelty of the good people. When the ninety-nine Pearls of the Night were stolen by the greedy, the water hole became a deep black hole.
Nine heavenly basilicas see people's hearts are unpredictable, from the brother of the Jade Emperor borrowed the red bat, placed in front of the palace, always watching the pedestrians into the Palace of the Purple Sky, is a good person to give the blessing, is the evil people to descend to the disaster. And in the nine curved Milky Way like the water hole ferry put a paddle without sculling God boat, the people took refuge in the boat rescued, greedy people on the boat disappeared, dark and deep purple palace has become a labyrinth so that people do not dare to wade into.
The stars have changed, and today, the world is peaceful, the world is coming. Night Pearl reappeared, people saw the true face of the Palace of the Purple Sky, although in the five miles of the Milky Way can only see the "four palaces", "three gorges" and dozens of other scenic beauty of the Palace of the Immortals, can not swim in the whole of the water holes, but it also makes the tourists marveled at, acclaimed as "the world only this one! The first thing you need to do is to get to the bottom of it!
Listening to the tour guide's speech, through a winding undulating hole, out of the dry hole. Came to the water cave, each led the cotton clothes, have been on the boat. Started cruising the water in the cave, the cave cold. With the boat line, the cave can be seen at the colorful lights, jagged rocks, a variety of strange stalactites appear in front of the eyes, which has the Maitreya Buddha, Lohan Cave, etc. is exquisite, lifelike, as if it were really general. Tourists cheered, exclaimed, by the nature of this kind of ingenious work of art. Strange phenomenon by nature, marveled. People warmly and the oncoming boat greetings, although they do not know each other, but everyone's face is full of joyful smiles. The fresh water in the winding caves flowing leisurely, against the current, along the way, the fantastic scenery is mysterious, natural. Such a wonderland is unforgettable, wonderful and fun.
Second, the Geological Museum.
People drove out of the cave in a cheer. The second attraction is the "Liaoning Benxi National Geological Museum". Inside the museum, follow the footsteps of the lecturer, listening to his speech all the way. Touring in the museum, read the propaganda materials on the walls, all kinds of paleontology, rock changes, the evolution of the earth, as well as the minerals of Benxi. When a variety of exotic ores, crystals, mica, etc. into the eyes, so that my eyes wide open, benefited greatly, increased a lot of geological knowledge. Only one by one to take pictures, collection, to be free to read and study slowly. Now I'm afraid to write on three days and three nights is difficult to write their own insights, here will not be detailed.
Third, the Kingdom of Siliconized Wood.
Out of the museum, continue to take the tour bus, into the third destination - the Kingdom of Silicified Wood. Silicified wood, also known as "stone tree". Is the product of the late Middle Jurassic period, 1. 400 million years ago, where the climate is warm, tall trees flourish, due to volcanic eruptions and sudden breaks in the stratum, the plant was buried in the ground, in the isolation of oxygen from the high temperature of the environment, after a long time of petrochemical operations, the organic matter in the wood was replaced by siliceous minerals in the groundwater, and after the crustal movement such as stratum uplift, these fossilized wood out of the ground, and then formed the silicified wood.
The park consists of ten landscapes, Carnival has a dinosaur trolley, etc.; Jungle Adventure three caves are each unique. Strange house using gravity design, come here to explore the ghost of the people are not surprised, from a talking tree in the forest, given the magical power. Recreation Square, several mushroom-shaped houses are poetic, but also the majority of tourists to relax and cool place. A picture of ecological harmony into the eyes, three small dinosaurs in the pool side of the water, foraging, playing, a peaceful Jurassic ecological weather. Wandering in the countless silica wood jungle, so that people far away from these lush, 100 million years ago, the world of the dinosaur kingdom, while enjoying the landscape. It is really beautiful, happy, leisurely!
Four Thailand, the country style song and dance hall.
With joy, comfortable mood stepped into the last attraction - Thai style song and dance hall. Far away from hearing the cheerful "Little Apple" dance music, so that people can not help but relax the tired body, release the heart of the labor. Listening to the host's enthusiastic explanation, learned that people often say that Thai sirens, today you can not go abroad to witness. Curious people have stretched their necks and poked their heads out to see what is going on. Only to see both sides of the enthusiastic "siren" is also known as "red artists", one by one, flamboyant, charming, beautiful as heaven. Mouth constantly said "Sawadika sawadika!" Chinese is "Hello! The meaning of the word. If it is not the host to tell everyone these are red artists, I can not believe that the beautiful ladies in front of the original is a man.
The red artist is one of the four treasures of Thailand, mostly from poor families. Since childhood, they have been taking a lot of estrogen, and their bodies have slowly become what they are now. They mainly rely on singing and dancing to live, their average life expectancy is just over 40 years old, if a family has a red artist, then the family three generations do not labor. However, they are very hard, who would like to do what they are forced to do, are forced by life.
Next is the man and the crocodile battle, when the trainer put his head into the crocodile's mouth, people can not help but for him to pinch a sweat, y afraid to breathe. The trainer skillful and thrilling scene is really dangerous, people crocodile kiss love. Crocodile is also very humane, is also one of the four treasures of Thailand, is honored as a god. The crocodile is also very humane and is one of the four treasures of Thailand, which is revered as a sacred animal.
Finally, the host invited the group and the red artist photo, as a souvenir. In a warm atmosphere, in the red artists in the beautiful song, in their dance, all of today's journey came to an end, the whole field of cheering, leaping, boiling.
