Focus on Changyang Qingjiang Gallery.
Mount Wu Luo Zhongli takes an hour by boat from Geheyan Dam cruise terminal, climbs to the top of the mountain, enjoys the beautiful scenery of Qingjiang River and pursues the birthplace of Tujia nationality.
Changyang Tujia Autonomous County is located in the southwest of Hubei Province, 360 kilometers away from Wuhan. On 3,000 square kilometers of land, there are 430,000 people of Han nationality, Tujia nationality and Miao nationality, among whom Tujia nationality accounts for 48%. Qingjiang River, which originated in Lichuan, is a gathering place for Tujia people. Tujia people who have lived here for generations have created rich and colorful national cultures and displayed unique folk customs. Qingjiang River is a pearl of the Yangtze River. "The water is clear and clear, and people see it clear, so it is named Qingjiang."
Originated in Longdonggou, Lichuan City, western Hubei Province, it flows through Enshi, Changyang and Badong, and joins the Yangtze River in Zhicheng, with a total length of 423 kilometers, and has the reputation of "eight hundred miles of picturesque Qingjiang River". The length of the Qingjiang River flowing through Changyang is about148km. Geheyan Dam was built at 1994, with a length of 165 m and a height of 150 m on the Qingjiang River west of Longzhouping, the county town. The completion of Geheyan Dam can not only obtain electricity, but also prevent floods and store water. 1998 When the Yangtze River was hit by a once-in-a-century flood, Geheyan Dam made a great contribution to water storage and flood diversion.
On the Qingjiang River downstream of the dam 1 km, there is the longest iron cable bridge in Asia, which is 303 meters long and completely supported by iron cables fixed on both sides. The bridge deck is covered with strong wooden boards, with a total load of 80 tons, which can be used for motor vehicles. This iron cable bridge was built for Geheyan Project. Now, with the Qingjiang Bridge built on the Qingjiang River, the Tiesuo Bridge can no longer be used by motor vehicles and pedestrians, and it has become a magnificent landscape for tourists to visit.
From Geheyan Dam Cruise Terminal, you can take a boat trip to Baidao Lake. Baidao Lake is located in the upper reaches of Geheyan Dam. At first, many peaks stood on both sides of Yu Qingjiang. Due to the construction of Geheyan Dam, the water level of Qingjiang River has risen by tens of meters, making the peaks become isolated islands in the lake, hence the name Baidao Lake.
By boat, you can visit Gorge, Lake, Pinghu Luo, Baiyuan Island, Zhongli Mountain, Tianzhu Mountain and Barendong Scenic Area in turn. Wu Luo Zhongli Mountain is connected by Wuluo Mountain and Zhongli Mountain. The mountain is more than 300 meters high and 30 kilometers away from Longzhou Pingxi. It takes 1 hour to reach the foot of the mountain by boat at the ship dock. Although the mountain is not high, it is extremely steep. According to historical records, this is the birthplace of Ba people, the ancestors of Tujia nationality.
There are five stone peaks on the top of the mountain: Kuitou Rock, Niu Jiao Rock, Yannv Rock, Shitaitai and Miaotu Rock. Niujiaoyan boulder stands like a horn; Yan Nvyan is like a beautiful Tujia girl, and it is said that it is the embodiment of the goddess of salt water; There is a small temple at the top of the stone god platform for the stone god to use; The temple hangs in the sky, and there are temples to worship the king; There are two caves on the mountainside, one is red as Dan and the other is black as lacquer, which is the birthplace of the ancestors of the Ba people, the ancestors of Tujia people, recorded in the Notes on Water Classics.
Tianzhu Mountain is located on the north bank of Qingjiang River, 34 kilometers west of Changyang County. Since the Tang Dynasty, it has been one of the 36 caves and 72 blessed places in Taoism. It reflects the north-south trend of Wudang Mountain, a famous Taoist mountain, also known as Wudang.
Tianzhu Mountain is 1, 445 meters above sea level. Its stalagmites have high specifications, are unique, stand out from the crowd, and have the potential to write well. The peak is flat, the spring is clear, and the four seasons never dry up. Tianzhu Mountain Group peaks are independent, and three rock peaks 1.30 meters high stand side by side, only 4 meters apart. Between the two bridges and the three peaks, it is spectacular, just like a huge stone pillar.
The ancient buildings on the mountain are very spectacular. This Taoist temple was built in the Tang Dynasty. During the Tongzhi period in the Qing Dynasty, great construction was carried out, and the Mother Palace, Sanhuang Hall, Lingguan Hall, Yuhuang Pavilion, Yuxu Palace and Nanyan Palace were built in imitation of Wudang Mountain. The mountain has been dug with 1000 stone steps.
Fresh water, a tributary of Qingjiang River, has become an excellent place for tourists to drift because of its shallow water, crystal clear riverbed covered rocks and undulating mountains on both sides. The widest part of fresh water is more than ten meters, and the narrowest part is only four or five meters. After the heavy rain, the river has a large flow and a fast flow, which is a good time to drift, but it is also dangerous. 2-3 people take inflatable rafts and descend downstream from the upstream. In places where the water surface is wide and the water flow is slow, they can look up at the quiet scenery on both sides of the river while swinging, or bow their heads to search for small fish and crabs at the bottom of the water.
On the other hand, on the narrow water surface, due to the obstruction of rocks, water becomes splashing. If you are not careful when driving the raft, you will hit a big stone. Sometimes the raft is too fast to control because of the current. That kind of exciting feeling is hard for people who have lived in the city for a long time to understand.
Significantly different from the drifting of the Three Gorges and Shennong River, the noise of machinery makes it difficult to enjoy the beauty of its landscape calmly. Shennong Creek was pulled upstream by a tracker, and then the boatman lowered the raft. Visitors can only look up at the secluded mountains and clear waters, but they can't feel the pleasure of sailing and breaking the waves.
