After running from the Tiger Run Dream Spring, go straight up to the Noble Pavilion, then turn left and go down, through Ma'er Mountain Hill to the Nine Creeks Smoke Tree.
The tiger's road to the Noble Pavilion was more than a mile, and it was all made of irregular stones in the shape of steps. The road is very steep, about fifty or sixty degrees, and it is particularly tiring to walk. Although it is winter, it is still raining lightly, and I will sweat when I walk.
The road from Tiger to Nine Creeks Smoke Tree was long, and I walked alone from about two o'clock in the afternoon to three and a half o'clock. This section of the road has few attractions except for the dense mountains and forests. The road on the mountain seems to have been paved in recent years, using smooth and flat thin marble slabs. It looks flat, monotonous, boring, and exudes a naked superficiality!
There is a Li'an Temple on the side of the Nine Creeks Tobacco Tree, and when I was about to arrive at the Li'an Temple, I received a call from the company saying that I would declare my health status on the company's APP, which was the health punch card that was carried out every day.
Li'an Temple was called "Yongquan Zen Temple" in ancient times, and it was named after the mountain spring "Fayu Spring", which is the same as The Tiger Running Spring. In the fifth generation, the high monk Fu Hu Zhifeng zen master once lived here, and King Wu Yue built a temple for it. At its peak, the temple was large in scale and richly decorated, with buildings such as the Mountain Gate, the Imperial Monument Pavilion, the Maitreya Hall, the Daxiong Treasure Hall, the Zen Hall, the Dharma Hall, the Tibetan Scripture Building, the Abbot, the Jizun Temple, and the Songwei Pavilion.
Inside the temple, there is a statue of the Fuhu Zen Master and the Tiger. Legend has it that Fuhu Zen master "Zhifeng" was a high-ranking monk of the fifth generation, who once spread his hair at Jiuxi Li'an Temple and Wuyun Mountain Zhenji Temple in Hangzhou. At that time, the tigers in Wuyun Mountain were seriously harmed, and Zen Master Zhifeng used the proceeds of the transformation to buy meat to feed the tigers. The tiger was eventually tamed and often carried the Zhifeng Zen Master to and from the mountains, so the Zhifeng Zen Master was also known as the "Fuhu Zen Master".
Coming down from Leon Temple, there is a stream all the way. Less than a mile down, you will reach the Nine Creeks Smoke Tree Attraction.
Jiuxi Tobacco Tree is located under the Chicken Crown, and its origins are two: one from Longjing Lion Peak, one from Yangmeiling in Wengjia Mountain, and on the way, it meets the waters of Qingwan, Hongfa, Pig's Head, Fangjia, Foshi, Yunqi, Baizhang, Tangjia, and Xiaokang jiuwu. This stream, along the way through the Green Mountains and Green Valley, and gathers countless streams, meandering 7 kilometers from Longjing into the Qiantang River, also known as nine streams and eighteen streams. The streams, tea gardens, mist, and green rivers here constitute the four major tourism characteristics of this scenic spot.
At 5 p.m., I arrived at the Nine Creek Bus Stop. After two days of running, I should have gone back to rest, but here you can stop by to Yunqi Bamboo Trail and Lingyin. If you go back and come back, it will be very troublesome. So I booked a room at the nearby Xian Oh Hotel. New Year's Day, the hotel has few guests, and the room rate is very low.
