On September 10, the reporter drove along the winding mountain road to the town of Hujiashan in Shimen County, which is known as "controlling and inducing Eqian and accepting the three Xiangs". Along the way, the mountains are stacked and the stone walls are opened. A turquoise strip of water crosses the lofty mountains, and the endless sea of clouds churns at the top of the mountain. Immerse yourself in this mysterious wonderland and feel relaxed. Legend has it that when the Qianlong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty went down to Jiangnan, he went to the Kettle Mountain, and once left behind the good sentences of "the bottle is not enough to see, and it is fortunate to revisit it in the next life" and "Don't go far away with the bottle, the rivers and mountains are more divine".
In July this year, Hujiashan Town was rated as one of the second batch of characteristic cultural tourism towns in our province.
Canyon Flying Falls is not enough to see
Huquan Mountain is located in the territory of Shimen in the northwest border of Hunan, and the main peak is 2098.7 meters above sea level, which is known as the "roof ridge of Hunan". It is a national nature reserve, one of the world's 200 key ecological regions, a tertiary animal and plant refuge, known as the most complete treasure land of the same latitude species lineage in Eurasia, and a "precious species gene pool in central China". The forest coverage rate of Hujiashan Town is 92%, and the forest, waterfall and canyon landscape in the territory are all forested, which is a natural oxygen bar.
"The bottle flies to the waterfall, and the peach blossom falls at the mouth of the cave." The scenic scenery of the "Kettle Flying Waterfall" described by the poet Xian Li Bai is common in the Kettle Bottle Mountain Canyon. On September 10, the reporter braved the light rain to explore the Elephant Nose Gully Scenic Area, the most representative of Huju Mountain, located in Daling Village. Climb up the 1.6-kilometer gorge, densely packed with jungle. Large rocks are layered on top of each other, or diagonally laid over cliffs, or as neat as a knife. The vines hang down from the cliffs like beautiful green curtains.
"Look, The Bottle Falls!" Li Qibin, general secretary of the party branch of Daling Village, who was walking in front, suddenly shouted, causing everyone to look up. I saw that on the cliff facing the face, a slender waterfall poured down like a white practice, and when it was blocked by rocks, the waterfall folded into three folds. Li Qibin told reporters: "As the saying goes, the mountains of Zhangjiajie, the water of Jiuzhaigou and the canyons of Hujia mountain are the most beautiful. Every year, we receive tens of thousands of tourists from Elephant Nose Ditch, who come here to 'inhale oxygen' to escape the heat, enjoy the original canyon scenery, and eat Tujia bacon. In August this year, it received 20,000 visitors a month, many of whom were scientific expeditions. ”
Four hours are different days, ten miles are different scenes. Due to weather reasons, the reporter failed to climb the main peak of Hu bottle mountain and enjoy the wonders of the sea of clouds, so he came to Qingshanxi Village, which is famous for tourism. Crystal clear streams, swimming fish, crabs in stone crevices, flowers blooming on the rock walls... Retrograde along the creek, the pristine oil press river canyon is beautiful and delicious. The trestles on the cliff walls, only the size of two feet, add thrills to the canyon. The whole canyon is like an uncultivated virgin land, mysterious and primitive, and sought after by outdoor adventure enthusiasts.
As night fell, the canyon was flat, and the Tujia family set up a copper pot. More than 10 people ate around the copper pot and felt the enthusiasm of the Tujia family. Tang Shengqiu, a 72-year-old villager in Qingshanxi Village, said warmly: "Our Native family is hospitable, and when tourists come, we pour large bowls of tea and set up copper pots to greet us." In good weather, a bonfire will be lit, and the women of the village will put on Tujia costumes and jump on a piece of nine whips, which is very lively. ”
Alpine clouds produce good tea
Good tea from ancient alpine clouds.
The mountain in the northwest of Shimen is high, and it is a treasure place for growing tea. In the Western Jin Dynasty, there is a record that "the seven counties of Wuling have tea, the best". Shimen belongs to one of the seven counties of Wuling, and Shimen's calf tea is a tribute tea of the Five Dynasties of the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasties.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Guangdong merchant Lu Cilun opened the "Taihe Hecha" in Yisha, which is now the town of Hujiashan, and created Yi black tea, which was once known as Xiang'e and Haiguo Liufen. "At the ancient tea ceremony, Marshal He Long also carved an inspirational picture of 'one bow and three arrows.'" Long Xibin, former director of the Shimen County Museum, introduced the tea culture of the ancient town of Hujiashan gushing, "Hujianshan Town is the central area of the Wanli Tea Ceremony Yi black tea ceremony, with an annual output of 300,000 quintals at its peak, and the tea leaves from 4 provinces and 16 counties in the western border area of Xiang'e and Hubei are transported to Thailand and hehe for processing, and then exported to britain, Russia and other countries." ”
Today, through Yisha Old Street and into the quaint town of Hujushan, you can still see the main building of the "Taihe Hecha" that has been full of vicissitudes, as well as historical sites such as the ancient tea ceremony. The current "TaiheHe tea number" has been included in the World Cultural Heritage Application List of the Hunan Section of the Wanli Tea Ceremony and the Preparatory Catalogue of China's World Cultural Heritage, and The Bottle Mountain has also become a landmark of the Wanli Tea Ceremony Heritage.
All the way to the tea aroma all the way to the song. After the light rain, the organic tea garden in Liping Village, Hujiashan Town, is covered with clouds and mist, and it is an ink painting from a distance. Wang Zhangyuanzheng, a 36-year-old villager, and several Tujia women rehearsed the Tujia tea song "Sister I Live in Thirteen Villages" in a tea garden. Wang Zhanghuang, general secretary of the village party branch, told reporters: "There are more than 1,600 mu of alpine organic tea in our village, which is picked 4 times a year. The villagers' fresh tea is sent directly into the pot bottle mountain tea processing plant, and the price is good and secure. The village is building a walking trail and preparing to use the fame of the hu bottle mountain cultural tourism town to develop a tea tourism tourism and picking tour. This tea song, we still have to pack well. ”
Chen Hongping, secretary of the Party Committee of Hujiashan Town, told reporters that the tea industry is the pillar industry of Hujiashan Town, and two-thirds of Shimen Yinfeng, one of the top ten famous teas in Hunan, is produced from Hujiashan; The annual output value of tea in Shimen County is 1.5 billion yuan, and the bottle mountain is 300 million yuan. In recent years, Hujiashan Town has adhered to the principle of "rejuvenating tourism with tea and promoting tea with tourism", relying on more than 30,000 mu of tea gardens in the town, uniting Jiashan mountain, Baiyun Mountain and other places to launch high-quality routes such as tea garden ecological tours, and fully promote the integrated development of tea tourism.
Last year, Hujiashan Town received more than 1.6 million tourists and achieved a comprehensive tourism income of 780 million yuan.
