This is my first time visiting Wushan, and the scenery and characters here have left a deep impression on me! Originating from Wushan, it was all because of the premiere of "Wushan Goddess" on September 28th. With a longing for mythological stories, I set off from the main city of Chongqing, took a high-speed train to Wanzhou, and then took a bus to Wushan County. Finally, I caught up with this magnificent opening!

This play combines folk stories, while also incorporating the regional cultural characteristics and mountain scenery of Wushan.

This drama, including the prologue and epilogue, has a total of 5 parts. The whole process is high-energy without any urine points, and the emotions can't help but shed tears when they reach the depths!
Preface: At the top of Wushan, shrouded in clouds and mist, towering peaks stand tall. There is an old man there every day, telling a beautiful story to passersby.

Aze brought Yao Ji back to the tribe. As the sun rises and the moon sets, people work, fish, and gather together in a joyful atmosphere, dancing enthusiastically.
Act Three: 'Guardian'
Water demons are now present in the world. Yao Ji transformed into a goddess to protect the village and fought against the army of water demons. In order to save the lives of the people, she spared no effort to turn the peak into water
Epilogue of 'Red Leaf Wushan'
Years later, the world prospered. Many villagers devoutly pray for blessings under the Goddess Peak. An old man caresses the red leaf necklace on his chest and looks at the Goddess Peak from afar, unwilling to leave for a long time.
The entire plot is compact and interconnected, echoing from beginning to end, thus creating a clear outline of the story. Among them, the "Love" chapter is the most romantic, with beautiful background music and stage design. The chapter of 'Entering the World' belongs to the preparatory stage, laying the groundwork for the subsequent protection and making it fascinating; And the chapter of 'Guardian' is the most touching, it is the climax of the whole drama, telling the touching story of the goddess Yaoji sacrificing herself for love. It feels like the whole theater is in tears~

The temporary exhibition hall on the fourth floor, the Hundred Year Old Wushan Ticket Era, is the closest existence to us. The food coupons and penny sharing that were only used by the parents' generation can be seen here; The cassette tapes I loved to buy in junior high school, those distant years seem to have suddenly returned~
The scene of the supply and marketing cooperative left the deepest impression, recalling the scene of hiding in the warehouse and stealing candy when I was a child; There are also nearby granaries, bookshelves, abacuses, and windmills, and these gradually fading times seem not so far away anymore. If you are a museum enthusiast, not even a week is enough for you to stay here. Hurriedly checking in, you also need to reserve 2-3 hours. The Wushan Museum, which has many precious collections, hopes you don't miss it!
Goddess Goddess Pilgrimage to Goddess Peak, the most beautiful road with misty clouds and mist
After watching 'The Goddess of Wushan', I wanted to go and see the appearance of the Goddess Peak. Driving to the Goddess of Heaven Road scenic area, it was raining and rainy all the way, and I was on a misty mountain road. It was a beautiful scenery surrounded by clouds and mist.
After the rain, the mountains were adorned with jade belts, but the Goddess Peak was never seen in its true form. Without waiting for the clouds to disperse, I took the cableway and the Divine Maiden Ladder, gazing at the Divine Maiden Peak from the observation platform. In the end, it was just a mysterious and elusive sight! Looking forward to the next day when the mountains are covered in red leaves and the sun shines brightly, standing here again and seeing the beauty across the river~
Although this trip to Wushan had some regrets, it was still a success. The surprise brought by "Wushan Goddess" is enough to give me a brand new understanding of Wushan. Poetic Wushan, romantic Wushan. See you next time!
