In people’s impression, Chongqing is a famous Internet celebrity city. It seems that Hongyadong, Jiefangbei, Yangtze River Cableway, and Liziba Light Rail are the representative attractions of Chongqing. In fact, it is not the case. Internet celebrities are a label of Chongqing, but they cannot be truly authentic. Representing Chongqing, Chongqing is a famous cultural city with a history of more than 3,000 years, and a super-large city covering 82,000 square kilometers. Its beauty cannot be summed up by an internet celebrity label. There are world-class cultural sites such as Dazu Rock Carvings, and There are world-class scenery like the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, and even around the main city, there are also top big-name scenic spots like Jinfo Mountain, which has many world-class and national-level famous brands such as World Natural Heritage, National AAAAA-level scenic spots, national geological parks, national forest parks, etc. Can an Internet celebrity city represent it? Take Jinfo Mountain as an example. Many friends only know that it is a World Heritage Site and a national 5A-level tourist attraction. Even if they have been, many of them only know that there are Bitan Valley, Cliff Road, Golden Tortoise Chaoyang, Ecological Stone Forest and other attractions, but they don’t know. In the 441 square kilometer Jinfo Mountain scenic spot, there are a large number of karst depressions, sinkholes, piercing holes, rock pillars, waterfalls, canyons, ancient villages, ancient villages, ancient teas, ancient trees and other landscapes. These landscapes are scattered in the southeast and northwest of Jinfo Mountain. One or two days of walking horses and flowers can not go to these places. For example, the candlestick peak that this article will introduce to you is one of them. Candlestick Peak is located at the intersection of Jinfo Mountain and Baizhi Mountain, where the Baizhi River Grand Canyon is formed due to long-term water flow and wind erosion. The valley is deep and the cliffs on both sides are towering. Peak, this is the candlestick peak. The candlestick peak is more than a hundred meters high, and it looks like a huge candlestick. A similarly huge “candle” is inserted on it, which is a solitary peak rising into the sky. The characteristics of the Zhutai Peak and the surrounding rock mass are Quaternary sedimentary rocks, with mountains above and steep rocks below, with obvious strata formation, with typical geological features below the Jinfo Mountain Plain. On the edge of the Candlestick Peak, there are two karst caves. The entrance of the cave is built with a wall of gravel. Obviously someone once lived here, but in what age? It is impossible to verify who they are, and how did these people get to the cave where there are cliffs up and down? On the mountain opposite to Candlestick Peak, there is a waterfall flying down from the cave in the middle of the cliff. According to local villagers, this waterfall is constant all year round, the water volume does not increase or decrease, and the long flow does not stop. Where is its source? No one knows that it has become an unsolved mystery. On the side of this waterfall, there is also a cave. The entrance of the cave is the same as the cave on the opposite side. The wall is made of gravel. Obviously some people have lived in it, but this cave is still tens of meters away from the top of the mountain, and there are also some underneath. It’s tens of meters and it’s very steep. How did these people get up? Let’s take a telephoto view at the entrance of the cave. The wall at the entrance of the cave does not seem to be formed naturally, it is definitely man-made. Seeing that these rocks are not big, they are like small rocks taken from local materials just around the cave. . According to local villagers, it may be the place where the rich stored valuables in the past turbulent years. The average people simply went up. They couldn’t climb up below, and couldn’t get down below. How they got to the cave on the cliff is like the valley of the Yangtze River. Like the hanging coffin, it feels incredible. It was also said that it used to be a place where gods practiced. With the aura of Jinfo Mountain, they finally gained the way up, leaving behind these incomprehensible cliff caves. The authenticity cannot be verified. What do you think these caves do? Do you have a better understanding of this aspect? Let me tell you about it.

On the second day of driving around the mountain in Jinfo Mountain 178, we set off in the morning from a thousand-year-old tea tree (it is said that this is the birthplace of artificially planted tea in the world, there is an ancient tea tree that is more than a thousand years old), and we are going to Nanchuan Toudu Town Visited the Qianxing Grand Canyon, but when we came to Toudu Town, it was rainy, misty, foggy, and visibility was extremely low. When we entered the canyon, we couldn’t see anything. Finally, we had to give up the visit to the Qianxing Grand Canyon. Later, we came to Pangguandu in Qingyuan Town. According to local friends, this was the ferry crossing from Chongqing and Sichuan to Bozhou (now Zunyi). Later the ferry was abandoned, but the scenery is still charming. It is a good place for fishing and playing in the water. , Especially the layers of rocks on the side of the stream, like books overlapping each other, it is very magical. There is a winding river at the location of Pangguandu, and there is a cliff on the opposite bank. The wall stones are very special, layer by layer, and the lines are straight, like ten thousand scriptures. Yufan asked local friends what geology it belongs to. feature? They only said that Jinfo Mountain belongs to the southern karst landform. As for the geology of this layered rock structure, they don’t know what geology is. Everyone thinks it is magical, like a city wall built by God on the river. The water of the Guandu River is clear and green like a rock. The water on the opposite bank is deep, while on the nearshore side, the river becomes shallower, forming a sandy beach. The gravel on the sandy beach is like a blanket, the water is crystal clear, and there are small fish and crabs swimming. Free to play. The current of this river named “Guandu” is not large, and the river surface is not wide, but it is an ancient ferry, which is really incredible. Did the ancients travel north and south and rush east and west through this river? Is there no other way to go? After checking the map on Pangguan Watanabe, the mystery was discovered. It turns out that Jinfo Mountain is a natural watershed that runs from east to west. Dayou, Qingyuan, Guhua, Hexi, and Zheng’an, Guizhou are all located in the south of the Jinfo Mountain barrier. The water on the southern slope of Jinfo Mountain is drawn from the gully in the south of Jinfo Mountain from the north. The streams in the south converge into a mainstream at Pangguandu. People go from east to west or west to east. If they take other roads, they will inevitably pass through the barriers of multiple rivers and need to build multiple ferry crossings. The reason why this place was built as an ancient ferry may be because it is a place where many rivers converge. It only needs to cross the river once to complete the traffic in the east-west direction. It is the most economical, most convenient, and lowest-cost option. There is a stone stele on the side of Pangguandu with a “Pangguandu Inscription” inscribed on it, which records some history of the ferry. Guandu River originated from the southeastern foot of the Jinfo Mountain, and passed through the Qianjin border into the Wujiang River through Qingyuan. In ancient times, the water was deep. The current is so fast that you can’t wade across the river in mere, you must ferry by boat. Since the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, both Nanchuan in Chongqing and Zhengan in Guizhou belonged to Bozhou (today’s Zunyi). The official road from Nanchuan to Zhengan must pass through this ferry, hence the name Guandu. Because of the frequent flow of people and logistics, merchants from both sides of the ferry have gathered. It is huge, so it is called “Pangguandu” by people. It is said that it is Pangguandu, but the pier and ferry are not seen. What is going on? According to the “Pangguandu Inscription”: Guandu “suffered an earthquake, the water volume was reduced, the official road was separate, and the ferry was no longer there. However, although there is no ferry today, the name Pangguandu is still in use today.” According to relevant information, there were indeed earthquake records in Nanchuan in the past two hundred years, but all occurred during the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty. The most serious was the Qianjiang Xiaonanhai earthquake in the sixth year of Xianfeng (1856) (the current Xiaonanhai is The Yansai Lake left by the local direct earthquake), the earthquake may have a greater impact on the Pangguandu area, or it may be that the earthquake caused the water volume of Pangguandu to shrink and lose the function of the ferry. There is another record in the “Pangguandu Inscription” that there are caves on the shore of Guandu, and there are underground rivers in the caves (which may also be one of the important reasons for the reduction of Guandu River’s water volume). The depth is unfathomable. There used to be large fish more than 2 meters in length. Swim out of the cave and was passed down as a good story by the people. Nowadays, there are definitely no big fish two meters long, but there are quite a few small fish in the stream. When we arrived, several tourists from Chongqing were fishing here. It didn’t take long to catch more than ten small fish. It seems that the harvest is not small. These are the few tourists who came to go fishing. They brought their own cooking stove and ingredients, and found some dried branches of trees around, and they started cooking. Everyone gathered around the pot, chatting and tasting. It looked very good, Yu Fan stepped forward to find hello, and after obtaining consent, he conducted a brief interview with them. They said that they were from the main city of Chongqing and couldn’t get away from work on weekends. Today, Monday was rather idle. So a few friends came to Nanchuan for camping, wild drinking, and fishing. They didn’t want to catch as many fish as they wanted to eat. What a big meal, the important thing is to enjoy the fun of fishing, wild drinking, and camping. They said that the environment here is really great. The birds and flowers are fragrant during the day, and the scenery is pleasant. At night, you can sleep with the gurgling stream. If the weather is good, you can see the stars in the sky. The experience is really good, and the transportation is very convenient. It only takes more than an hour to get to the main city. The road is not only a high-speed oil road, but also does not pick cars, so when they have free time, they often invite friends to camp, play in the water, move crabs, catch fish, barbecue, etc. Very happy every time. On the 178-kilometer self-driving road of Jinfo Mountain, there are many beautiful scenery like Pangguandu, such as Shanwangping, Health Valley, Jinshan Lake, Longshan Village, Candlestick Peak, Ginkgo Village, Ancient Tea Village, Feilada, Tianxing Grand Canyon Wait, many are not scenic spots, but the landscapes are better than scenic spots.
