More than 1,000 years ago, Li Bai traveled to the Three Gorges by boat, leaving behind many popular ancient sentences, especially the "Early White Emperor City", whenever I think of it, I will think of White Emperor City, Qutang Gorge and other places - Li Bai is really an ancient tour guide, as long as the copywriting is good, there is no attraction that cannot be caught fire (instantly not fan Xu Xiake [see]).
Similarly, another song by Li Bai, "From the Padang Boat Journey through the Qutang Gorge to the Highest Peak of Wushan Mountain, is also inscribed in the evening", which brought fire to the top of today's Three Gorges. I can't help but admire that everything he has visited has become one popular attraction after another today, and even Xu Xiake later probably admires him.
The top of the Three Gorges is one of the popular scenic spots in Fengjie County in Chongqing today, and it is the best location to see the steepness of the Qutang Gorge, and the looming White Emperor City can also be seen.
If you stand on the top of the Three Gorges and look at this thousand-year-old city at sunset or in the morning, it is like a veil of mystery, which makes people more and more curious about the history of the White Emperor City.
The peak of the Three Gorges Scenic Area is located at the head of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, which is the highest physical form of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River and the most beautiful landscape form.
Its concept comes from the fourth song of Du Fu's "Ten Absolute Sentences of Cuizhou Song" - "Red armor and white salt pierce the sky, and Yan Yan winds around the top of the mountain." Maple Grove Orange Tree Danqinghe, Fudao Heavy Building Splendid Suspension".
The "Chijia" mentioned in the poem refers to the "Chijia Mountain" where the top of the Three Gorges is located, which together with the "White Salt Mountain" is called the highest peak on both sides of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, and the confrontation between the two mountains always brings out layers of light or dark silver glow.
On the observation deck at an altitude of 1388 meters, you can't help but marvel: the Yangtze River is like a giant dragon roaring from an ancient distance, when passing through the steep Qutang Gorge, it is like splitting rocks, the two banks suddenly stand off cliffs, the mountain is high and narrow, the clouds and sky, Chijia Mountain and Baiyan Mountain are like magnificent gateways, opening the most majestic Yangtze River civilization in the Three Gorges.
There are still ancient stone carvings on the cliff wall (mainly distributed in the Pungjiang River on the west side of Baiyan Mountain on the south bank of Qutang) and ancient plank road ruins; There are still hanging coffins in the bellows gorge that have not been solved for thousands of years, as well as wonders such as divided walls, phoenix drinking springs, and upside-down monks;
Of course, there are also several masterpieces by famous poets of the ages. Li Bai's "From the Padang Boat Travel through the Qutang Gorge to the Highest Peak of Wushan Mountain and the Evening Inscription Wall" is one of them, and the top of the Three Gorges has become popular so far.
Although the Qutang Gorge is the shortest of the three gorges of the Yangtze River (only 8 kilometers long), it is also the most dangerous. At the entrance of the west end, the cliffs on both sides of the bank stand, hundreds of feet high and less than 100 meters wide, similar to the portal, named "Menmen", known as "Mengmen Tianxiong". From the observation deck, the sound of admiration is endless.
The mountains and forests on both sides are dense, and it is suspected that there are apes crying in the wind, and the surface of the river is visible to the naked eye. The thick river was merciless, and its turbulence was so intense that I did not dare to look at it for fear that I would fall into it. And this is the charm of climbing to the top of the Three Gorges.
When I saw the boats coming and going in the depths of the canyon, I couldn't help but think of the experience of riding the Chijia No. 6 deep tour to Qutang Gorge - standing on the deck, facing the top of the Three Gorges, looking up at the blue sky, the clouds were like a slit, and just as I was about to marvel at the phrase "the peak meets the sky, the boat travels from the underground cave", the wind and waves suddenly rose and slapped me.
At this point, the boat turned around and left the gorge. If it continues to move forward, the wind and waves ahead must be bigger and more urgent. I can't help but wonder how thrilling and magnificent Li Bai was when he first climbed to the top of Wushan Mountain through Qutang Gorge?
After all, today, we can reach the top of the Three Gorges by climbing the top of the Three Gorges or taking a cable car or taking a scenic sightseeing bus, and then walking for about 20 minutes after arriving at the mountain.
In addition to the panoramic view of the majesty of the Three Gorges, the top of the Three Gorges Scenic Area also has an ancient Yale culture. A stone statue on the top of the mountain is the originator of Yagaku, "Houku".
According to legend, he completed the five tones, made musical instruments, and fixed the six laws in Chijia Mountain, and was later named "Lezheng" by Emperor Shun, and took charge of the world's music laws to educate the people. At the same time, the Siwang Altar of Chijia Mountain was also the place where the sacrifice ceremony was held when Emperor Shun patrolled the Three Gorges.
This ancient mountain has been one of the sacred mountains since ancient times and is the birthplace of Gagaku. Many tourists who love and learn Chinese classical music will come here to check it out. While marveling at the steep scenery of Qutang Gorge, you can also feel the thousand-year-old elegance of Yale culture.
