When I first heard that there was a Guanzhi Mountain in China, I knew nothing about this place. However, as I got to know this land more deeply, Guanzhi Mountain, with its unique charm and profound history and culture, gradually drew a fascinating picture in my mind.
Shocking presentation of natural wonders
Guanzhi Mountain, located in Liancheng County, Longyan City, Fujian Province, is like an isolated emerald, inlaid on the southeast land. Its main peak is named after the ancient supervisory official hat "Xiezhi Crown", which means fairness and honesty. This scenic area covers an area of 123 square kilometers, with a core area of 53 square kilometers, covering Xiezhi Crown, Shimen Lake, Jiulong Lake, Zhuanzhai and other tourist areas, with more than 100 attractions.
The Danxia landform here is amazing, and it is known as "North Yi Nan Zhi, Danxia Double Wonders" together with Wuyi Mountain. The scenic spots in the scenic area, such as Sandietan, Xianglang Valley, Tiger Rock, Guanyin Peak, etc., have their own characteristics, especially the "Root of Life" and "Gate of Life". The uncanny workmanship of nature makes people think about the meaning of life. Shimen Lake is like a pearl inlaid between the mountains. The lake and the mountains complement each other. Taking a cruise through it, it seems to enter a quiet and mysterious world.
The profound cultural heritage
The charm of Guanzhi Mountain lies not only in its natural landscape, but also in its profound cultural heritage. As early as the Yuanyou period of the Song Dynasty, Shimen Lake had become a gathering place for literati and poets. Literati of all dynasties left a large number of cliff carvings here. These stone carvings are not only treasures of calligraphy art, but also carry rich historical and cultural connotations.
The academy culture in the scenic area has a long history. Many academies built in the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties, such as "Yangzhi Pavilion", "Qiaochang Mountain House" and "Xiuzhu Academy", have witnessed the history of Guanzhi Mountain as a cultural highland. During the Southern Song Dynasty, Luo Congyan, one of the four great Neo-Confucianists in Fujian, once gave lectures here, leaving a strong mark on the development of Fujian studies. These academies are not only places for the dissemination of knowledge, but also cradles for cultivating talents. Many Jinshi and knowledgeable people have studied and grown here.
Conclusion
Guanzhi Mountain has become an important tourist destination in Fujian Province and even in China with its magnificent natural scenery, profound cultural heritage and unique academy culture. For foreign tourists, this place is not only a tourist attraction, but also a bridge to understand ancient Chinese culture and history. If you plan to travel to China, Guanzhi Mountain is definitely a destination not to be missed, and it will bring you an unforgettable journey.
