Datengxia

Dateng Gorge is located in the lower reaches of the Lijiang River, about 8 kilometers northwest of Guiping City, is the largest and longest canyon in Guangxi. The entrance of Dateng Gorge is located in Lema Beach, while the exit is located in Litan, which is 41 kilometers long. The peaks on both sides of the canyon stand off, dangerous rocks, dangerous beaches in the river, reefs are all around, there is "Guangxi Xiaoxia Three Gorges", also known as "the first gorge of the Pearl River Basin". Interestingly, there are three village committees along the river, named Shangxia Jiang Village, Zhongxia Jiang Village, Xiaxia Jiang Village because of the Gorge, and the villagers are called "Three Gorges Village". The reason why Dateng Gorge is called Dateng Gorge, legend is because in ancient times there were big vines such as buckets, across the river, day and night floating, for people to climb the river, "Dateng Gorge" hence the name. Dateng Gorge is at the narrowest part of the Lijiang River. The river here is more than 50 meters, and the peaks on both sides are towering, making people feel trapped. Sitting in the cabin, you can only see the river more than 50 meters away, and then you will see a mountain blocked in front. But when the boat bypassed the peak, the river became wide again, and there was a feeling of "boat to waterway". This is probably the most wonderful feeling of visiting Dateng Gorge. Although it is not a perfect life, it always makes people feel full of hope. Everyone who has been to the Grand Canyon Gorge will be conquered by its magnificent beauty. Xu Xiake, a traveler in the Ming Dynasty, is one of them. He described Dateng Gorge in his travels: "Both cliffs are connected to the mountains, and this is the beginning of entering the Gorge. The mountains on both sides of the Straits are towering, and the peaks are alone crowned. There are sometimes stone peaks hanging. The river is turned east, and its south is turned east. The stone of the river's left turbulence. There are big books and stone .... From the description, it is easy to get the role and magnificent shape of Dateng Gorge at that time. There are records that the "big book of stone" in the travel history is the imperial book of Emperor Zhu Houzhao of Mingwu Zong, "Yu Gi Yongtong Gorge", which is still clearly visible today. Dateng Gorge can be regarded as the "tea horse ancient road" in Guiping and even Guangxi history, but this ancient road is not a road race horse, but a water road race boat. There are three ancient tea-horse roads in history, namely the ancient tea-horse roads in Shaanxi-Gansu, the ancient tea-horse roads in Shaanxi-Kang, and the ancient tea-horse roads in Shaanxi-Gansu. The source of the Hongshui River is the Nanpan River in Zhanyi County, Yunnan Province. Therefore, Dateng Gorge is a major traffic road that runs through Guangxi's east and west in the Ming Dynasty. In "Guangxi County Zhi", this description of this waterway: "(Since ancient times) Tuyuan Yuwoyan, Shangzhou spoke. Its people are also simple, eating the hair of the soil, and being self-sufficient." At the end of the Ming and early Qing Dynasties, Guiping gradually developed into a commodity distribution center, and river-side ships came and went. The market sells tea, herbs and other mountain goods, cargo ships full of salt, cloth, utensils and other exotic goods shipped to the dock, and then by the horse gang to transfer the mountain. Datengxia river tidal flats are many, but the beaches are the most dangerous. The beach is named after the rapidity of the beach and the dangerous water. The reefs on both sides of the Straits are rocky, the underwater reefs are all around, the vortex is round, the swirling waves are rolled, and the dangerous signs are overgrown. In the old days, the boats came here, and passengers often burned incense and read Buddha, and went to the Ganwang Temple on the north bank of the gorge to pray for Bodhisattva to bless peace. After liberation, it was dredged. Although the water trend slowed down and navigation facilities were added, it was still not suitable for night navigation. There is also a dangerous beach in the middle of the gorge, called Langtan, and there is a place called Bitan not far from the Langtan. Here, the river is rolling in front, with its back pillows and mountains, and the terrain is towering. The ships in the river are always in sight, looking up at the waves, and controlling the river in the four sides. When Hou Daxu led the peasant uprising, he built a camp here. There is a "Emperor Palace" in the middle of the camp, which is the place where the rebels gather for discussion. The "Emperor Palace" side has a gun building, the total area is about 3,000 square meters, the future people called "Bitan Metropolis", the capital site is still vaguely discernible. It is said that "Bitan Metropolis" was very beautiful and prosperous at the time, like a "Qingming River Map" belonging to Guiping, the suburban scenery, downtown street view, river street market as many. About 10 kilometers north of Bitan, there is a circle of miles, towering into the clouds, trees shaded, majestic mountains nine floors, this is an important stronghold of the people's uprising in the Ming Dynasty. Climb the mountain along the stone path, you can also go to the castle and wells built by the rebels. Not far from the castle there were a large number of stones used by the rebels to fight the Ming army. If the danger of Daeto Gorge is awe-inspiring, its beauty is aspirational. The essence of Datengxia Scenic Area is Jinyintan. Xu Xiake once squashed on the banks of Jinyintan when he visited Datengxia. Here you can see its original appearance, in groups, and countless pools. The most charming place is Jinyintan in the Nine-Turn Eighteen Bay. Gold and silver colorful stone on the slow flowing pool water, spotless, year-round blue, sloppy. The eight scenes of Jinyintan are also a must-see place for tourists, the eight scenes are: Jintan Waterfall, Yinyu Hanteng, Longmen Apes, Cuizhu Fengming, Shuangyu Opera Moon, Qingxi algae shadow, Yaqiao Misty Rain, Nanguo Acacia. If you still feel unsatisfied after swimming in Jinyintan, then Rain Silk Cave is also a good place to go. Rain Silk Cave is a place that only listens to the name, which is very desirable. Rain Sidong fell from the mountain stream, along the impact of the stone trough, into the stream of spring and the discharge, more than 60 meters high Rain Sidong waterfall has "flying down three thousand feet, suspected to be the Milky Way down nine days" trend. In addition, there are such scenery as Qiaoqiao, Lover Stone, Millennium Shou Turtle Small Water Pool, Feilong Waterfall, Shuangling Huilong Waterfall, etc., summer vacation does not have to go to the beach, it is enough to come here. In addition to the above mentioned, there is a place to go to Datengxia Scenic Area - Tongguchong, because the scenery here is not lost to the first two. Tonggu has typical canyon peak forest characteristics, there are 18 Bay 18 Tan, Qingxi Waterfall, etc. It is worth noting that the stones under the pool are colorful. The scenery here is copper stock blue shadow, waterfall drumming, Dianchi Linggui, Tianxi Suqian, Tianpu Hongyun, Tianwan release rows, etc. The bronze drum is said to be the bronze drum of the ancient Minhou Daxuan, named after the stone like a bronze drum. #Hou Summer Fun #My travel wish
