Further on, over a mountain beam, we came to the northern foothills of Cangshan Shengying Peak, the field of vision suddenly opened up, on the left is the tall and majestic Cangshan Shengying Peak, on the right is the towering Cangshan Malong Peak, the pine fir that spreads over the mountains dyes the valley green, and the Qingbi Creek is like a white ribbon, falling down from the top of the valley, appearing from time to time, dividing and merging. Looking up, a clear spring poured from the overhanging rock cliff, and the flying beads splashed jade and converged into a pool. The jade pillar at the top of the pond is flying, and the water flow between the pools is clear.
Qingbi Creek is also known as "Qinglong Lake", on the cliffs on the edge of the pool, there are two big characters of "Yukong", and several fir pines stand on both sides, and it seems that there are really dragons hidden in the water. Three pools are stacked, each of which is bright and bright, the mountain light and clouds, reflected in it, the tired small stones at the bottom of the pool, or green or white, seem to be able to see the lines on the stone, whenever the sun shines, reflected at the bottom of the pool, like crystal clear gems in the flash, beautiful. We first go to the lower pond, the water is as clear as jade, the pebbles in the water can be counted; then look at the middle pond and the upper pool, the two pools are suspended in the cliffs of the steep cave, and the waterfall falls from the rock in turn, and the flying flowers are green, giving people the magical feeling of a clear spring coming from the sky.
Walking to the Seven Mile Bridge in the valley, the two friends stopped moving.
"Why didn't you leave?" I asked.
"There's a dinner party at noon." The man replied, and then said, "Follow the road upwards, turn left on the fork in the road, and you can walk to the Jade Belt Road."
Say goodbye to road friends, cross the Seven Mile Bridge, go up the stream, the path is hidden from time to time, look up from under the peak, the three pools of the blue stream are lined up layer by layer, to the peak, the smooth and straight giant peaks face each other, forming a narrow mountain pass, between the steep cliffs A clear spring pours from the overhanging rock cliffs, converges into a pool, the flying beads splash jade, the brakes are spectacular, the top of the pool jade pillars flying, the water flow between the pools is clear, just like the gods in the sky take the emerald basin in line to receive the water, the three pools are stacked, each pool is bright and clear, the mountain light and clouds, all reflected in it, The tired small stones at the bottom of the pool, or blue or white, seem to be able to see the lines on the stone, and whenever the sun shines, it is reflected at the bottom of the pool, like a crystal clear gem shining, beautiful.
It was not beautiful, it was raining lightly, and we put on our raincoats and continued to move forward. At about eleven o'clock, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and just passing by a rain pavilion, we went in to rest and shelter from the rain. There was a young man in the pavilion who was also hiding from the rain, but he was a stuffy gourd, who didn't like to talk, asked him where he was from, and thought about it for a minute before answering. He was the last passerby we met on our climb, and until we walked into the Cloud Belt Road, we followed each other back and forth, but didn't say a word.
We sat on the pavilion rain to rest, looked up at the pavilion, the pavilion is larger, steel-concrete imitation wood structure, a look at it knows that it has been built in recent years. The base is octagonal, the columns on the corners are topped by the pavilion, the glazed tiles cover the top, and the octagonal angle is slightly upturned. There is a sign under the front eaves with three large characters written "Mao Miao Pavilion". I remember that the Song Dynasty poet Zhao Chuzhuang once wrote a poem "Mao Miao Ting", and the poem is as follows:
The two factions merged, and the echoes came here.
Dangerous peaks heng ancient stones, caves separated by dust.
Cloud shadow high and low trees, Lan Guang far and near the mountain.
The relics of the sages are there, and the old winds are still there.
Zhao Chuzhuang, No. Nan village, Wenzhou people. Whether there was also a pavilion in this place during the Song Dynasty, there is no research, it is not known. However, the scenery depicted is very similar to that of Qingbi Creek.
After passing through the Maundy Pavilion, further up, there is a hut on the gentle slope of the mountain. We passed by and came out a young man who said to us:
"This is the ticket office, please make up your tickets?"
"Can I use the Senior Citizen Discount Card?" I asked.
"Show me."
The young man took the concession card, looked at it and released it. Tourist tickets in China are particularly opaque, and it is never known whether the senior discount card will be useful.
"How far is the Jade Belt Cloud Road?" I asked again.
"Twenty minutes further."
We arrived at the Jade Belt Cloud Tour Road at twelve o'clock. From Qingbi Creek in Malong Peak in the south to Meixi in Yingle Peak in the north, the 18-kilometer-long and 2-meter-wide Jade Belt Cloud Tour Road connects many scenic spots in Cangshan. Tourists walk the jade belt cloud tour road, you can see the strange peaks and stones of Cangshan Mountain, and the waterfall of Forest Spring.
Walk on the Jade Belt Cloud Tour Road, there is a road sign on the cliffs of the roadside cliffs, and the Seven Fairy Ponds are 4.5 kilometers. The Seven Dragon Female Pond is located in the middle of the Black Dragon Creek, in the deep flow of the Black Dragon Creek, from the bottom to the top of the natural seven clear spring pools, the west side of each pool of the waterfall falls down, just like the white light veil hanging on the wall, giving people a sense of illusion and mystery, the water in the pool is clear to the bottom, surrounded by green mountains and white stone decorations, into the pool is like a cave heaven wonderland.
After an hour and a half walk, we reached under the Seven Fairies Pool. Looking up, on one side is the majestic Malone Peak, and on the other side is the fantastic Yuju Peak. Malong Peak is the highest of the nineteen peaks of the mountain, with an altitude of 4122 meters, and the Yuju Peak is the place where the legendary Wangfu Cloud rises, covered with a magical color.
Located between Malong Peak and Yuju Peak in Cangshan Mountain, the Seven Dragon Female Pond is sandwiched by such two majestic peaks with magical colors, and its geographical location is naturally particularly eye-catching. Coupled with the strange boulders around it, tracing up the creek, the pool is smaller than a pool, the scenery is more than a pool, and the legend is that this is the bathing place of the seven dragon girls, which is really a fantasy attraction.
Between Cang'er, the ancient Ze kingdom, there are many legends about dragons. Most of the many springs and ponds in Diancang Mountain are named after dragons, such as the washma pond between Yuju Peak and Longquan Peak, which was called "Dragon Pond" in ancient times, and the Yellow Dragon Tan, Black Dragon Pond and Double Dragon Pond between Sanyang Peak and Lanfeng are also related to dragons. It is said that the black dragon living in Black Dragon Lake is a male dragon, the yellow dragon living in Yellow Dragon Lake is the female dragon, and the seven dragon girls are the daughters of the Black Dragon and the Yellow Dragon, who often hide from their parents and come here to bathe. The eldest daughter is tall, naturally in the largest area of the Dragon Female Pool, the following sisters according to the age of the younger sisters, in turn, choose the remaining pools. The Seven Dragon Girls were the youngest and shy, so they hid in the Deepest Mountain Stream and bathed in the Seven Dragons Women's Pond. When the seven dragon girls bathed, the cangshan mountain floated up with jade belt clouds, which were formed by their belts being untied and connected together.
We climbed up the stairs built with the mountain, layer after layer, to see the colorful and heart-warming waterfalls. Or twisting and turning, or slipping into the pool, or flowing into a stream, or converging into a pool. The first dragon female pool is as clear as satin, the second dragon female pool is as clear as green jade, the three dragon female pool is transparent as thin ice, the fourth dragon female pool is pure as crystal, the five dragon female pool is crystal like mercury, the six dragon female pool is shallow like moonlight, and the seven dragon female pond is hidden deep in the mountain stream, like a pole of mellow wine. The scenery is beautiful and beautiful. Along the stream, it coils down among the boulders, and the sound of the water rings the ears and winds through the path, making people feel that they are gradually entering a better place. In particular, the Seven Dragons Female Pond, hidden in the deep ravine between the two mountains, the pool water reflects the mysterious halo under the reflection of the skylight, and the word "soul" encompasses its situation, no wonder some people carved it on the stone wall next to the pool.
Leaving the Seven Dragons Female Pond, we walked 4:5 kilometers on the Yudai Yunyou Road, returned to the Ropeway Station on The Gantong Temple, and took the ropeway to leave Cangshan. There are no hotels on the mountain, don't expect to finish the mountain in one day, I will definitely come back.
