Tourism resources
Tourism resources are rich
Geographic landscape:
Heshan City area is a typical karst terrain, the peaks are lofty, jagged, majestic, is a good place to view the mountain tourism, decompression of worry, and has not yet been artificially carved. The cliffs are steep and treacherous, which is the preferred region for outdoor rock climbing program. Caverns, stalactites stylized magnificent, unpredictable, beautiful (unfortunately, insufficient protection, more signs of damage, but still better than some rated high grade cavern landscape.)
It has been found with the development value of Beisi Yuping Mountain, Siguangzhai Mountain Zhuang cultural heritage sites, such as 8 attractions. In addition, the Lianchi of Xiandi, the Moon Cave of Siguang, and the idyllic scenery of Tunshan Mountain of Heshan have unique styles, and the Ma'an section of the Hongshui River has been found to be a resource of strange stones with high artistic appreciation and collection value, which has been famous and renowned in China and abroad.
Landscape legends are beautiful and moving, for example: Legend has it that the ancestors in order to avoid the war, leading their families and neighbors to long-distance trekking, came to the Siguang Mountain, in a seemingly only ten meters of the big cave to rest. An adult riding on the neck of a four-year-old child on the cave wall protruding, nearly two meters high on the rocky base, did not expect, the child just to stand up, on the "flop" sound, no shadow, the adults rushed to climb up to the rocky base, open to a diameter of only about thirty centimeters of the small hole, the child's cries from the hole. The child's father had to put his feet down, stepped on a raised stalactite, squatted down, into the hole, and then jumped off the stalactite, pick up the child, held in his arms. He was about to climb up the stalactite, when he suddenly felt that the hole was a good hiding place, so he stretched out his arms and measured the size of the hole, and surprisingly, he could not touch the edge. Rush to report back. Outside the people heard, are very happy, have entered the cave, one meter away from the cave entrance has been out of reach, light a torch forward, encountered a fork in the road, take a fork to the left, the next intersection and then to the right, I do not know how many intersections, found that there is a bright light in front of them, towards the bright light, out of the cave entrance, open up, only to see the long wings of the nymphs in the pool swimming, like a dragonfly pointing to the water in general. The fairies saw someone coming, looked at each other and smiled, and together they flew away into the distance and disappeared. Again in the "fairyland", everywhere is food, there are bananas, guavas, sweet potatoes, cassava, taro, corn, lettuce, cabbage, bitter vegetables, etc., and there are also big carp, pond fish, river shrimp, crabs in the river. The villagers were so happy that they cut down the trees and built houses, intending to live in this wonderland for a long time. However, leaving home in too much of a hurry, left out a lot of necessities of life, it was agreed that the young and strong men and adult women to take advantage of the night, go home to bring things. A group of people went home to carry things to the cave entrance to gather, and then into the cave, how do you know, the cave passage is intricate and complex, can not find the markings drawn when they came out, turned around a lot, or back to the cave entrance. They had no choice but to live in a house outside the cave and wait until they regained their strength. After that, they settled here and prospered.
Since then, the villagers outside the cave from time to time because they miss to stay in the cave loved ones, and ventured into the cave, some can still turn to the mouth of the cave, and then back to the village, some but into the dead hole, can not find the way out, starvation in the inside.
When the Japanese invaded, they heard that there was treasure in the cave, and they also went to try to explore it, but the result was that there was no return. I heard that those who went exploring later even found their remains. Anyway, no one has been able to enter the legendary wonderland again.
