Adventure Log: In Pursuit of the Emerald Marvel at Shimen Beach

Located at the confluence of Xintianpu and Longkou Creek in Xinshao County, Shimen Mountain, also known as Shimen Beach, is a natural wonder praised as the 'Little Three Gorges'. Here, two mountains stand opposite each other, forming a natural gateway. The Zi River shuttles through, stirring up layers of waves, especially during the transition from spring to summer when the water level rises, the waves surge, and the momentum is magnificent, as if it is a symphony of nature. 🌄Driving along Longkou Creek next to Longxi Pu No.4 Middle School, the scenery along the way is refreshing. The high mountains along the way are like the spine of the earth, and the terraced fields are like green ribbons hanging in the sky. The streams are babbling, crystal clear, and each pebble sparkles with its own light under the sun. Blue sky, white clouds, and fresh air, every breath is filled with the baptism of negative ions. 📜Many literati and poets in history have been captivated by this place. During the Ming Dynasty, the politician Che Daren once wrote the poem 'Shimen Mountain', depicting the magnificent scenery here. The poem mentions 'Distant skies with a thousand peaks standing tall, two mountains crammed by the banks, spring rain washes the initial green, morning glow dyes it even redder. Midstream turns back rapid flow, chaotic stones run flying rapids. The perilous is known to be set by heaven, tread through eternity to watch.', it's a pity that the paulownia pillars by the river no longer exist. 🛥️Since the establishment of the People's Republic of China, the navigation conditions here have been significantly improved after river management. The phyllostachys bamboo on the mountain is still lush, swaying with the wind, peaks are stacked with greenery, and the scenery is charming, still attracting countless tourists to explore and seek beauty. 📍Address: Navigate to Shimen Mountain, Xinshao 🚌Transportation: Self-driving is recommended 💰Admission: Free😲 🚗Self-driving route tips: Starting from Longxi Pu No.4 Middle School, head north along Longkou Creek until you reach the confluence with the Zi River, then turn right and follow the river, and soon you will see the magnificent view of Shimen Beach.
