Confucius said: "The wise man leshan, the benevolent one enjoys water." "The joy of the wise is as sublime and tranquil as a mountain, and the joy of the benevolent is as leisurely and indifferent as water." In the high mountains flowing water, the picturesque Qingtian River, whether you are Leshan or Leshui, you can find the peach blossom source in your heart here.
Originally known as Hongqi Reservoir, Qingtianhe is located in Bo'ai County, Jiaozuo City, Henan Province, and is listed as a Global Geopark for its unique geological resources. The "mountain" of the Qingtian River has both the scenery of the north and the south, and there is both the majestic and dangerous trend of the mountains and rivers in the north, and the beautiful scenery of the Nanxiang River. And the "water" of the Qingtian River is like a thousand acres of glass, and the blue waves are vast, as if they come from the sky.
On the foothills on both sides of the Qingtian River, a series of protruding hills have been eroded and tempered for many years, and they resemble beacon towers, stretching endlessly, as if the majestic Great Wall, so it is known as the "Natural Great Wall" by the world, and it is also the unique natural Great Wall in the world. Qingtian River three steps and one spring, five steps and one waterfall, green mountains and green water, clear water around the Qishan Mountain. There are more green trees on the distant mountain to cover the ancient temple, so that people stop for a long time and do not want to break this tranquility.
In the middle of the left bank of the Qingtian River, where the thousand-year-old sandalwood elm covers the sky, the Qingyu Ancient Temple is hidden in the lush forest, which can not only look at the mountains and waters by the railing, but also enjoy the simplicity and tranquility of returning to nature. Hidden in the clear water under the ancient temple is the "first spring in China" - Sangu Spring. The diameter of this spring is 2 meters, the water inrush is extremely large, and the annual influx of water is about four to eight flows, which is the first in China, and gives birth to the Yujin Cangsheng on both sides of the Qingtian River.
Due to the erosion of the flowing water over the years, the rocks on both sides of the river are washed away by the currents, and when the water level is lowered, they fall generously in front of the eyes of tourists, scrambling to tell the traces of time to tourists.
Affected by the terrain, the Qingtian River has many tributaries and meanders around. Among them, jiuqu stream is the most tortuous, named after the nine major twists and turns. Boating into the stream, the mountains and rivers are restored, quite a bit of Su Shi's "driving a leaf of the flat boat" open-mindedness and detachment. As the water flows deeper into the stream, the boat moves the scenery differently, and the blue water is long and colorful, forming a beautiful scenery of "mountains turning back to water, and water holding peaks and streams".
At sunset, the sun shines brightly, and most of the sky is lit up by the purple light in the distance. The natural Great Wall is clearly contoured under the golden light of Yaotai, adding a bit of beautiful atmosphere to the majestic Great Wall in the daytime, depicting the poetic scene of "half of the shore and half of the mountains and half the sunset".
In this Zhong Lingyu show, the yellow hair is hanging down, and it is comfortable, just like a pastoral village map, there is a quiet and distant "under the eastern fence of picking chrysanthemums, leisurely seeing the South Mountain".
Boating on the Qingtian River, enjoying the spiritual beauty of clear water, the wonders of the deep gorge, overlooking the simple and quiet mountain forest ancient temple, feeling the subtlety of nature, tasting the true meaning of life, and having a different flavor.
