Yaolin Wonderland is located at the northern foot of Camel Mountain from the Fenshui River in Yaolin Town, Tonglu County to Dongqian Village, Nanxiang. It is also known as "Yaolin Cave". The average annual temperature is only 16.2℃. As soon as you reach the entrance of the cave, you can feel the coolness that comes to your face. Therefore, summer and early autumn are the best seasons for tourism in Yaolin Wonderland.

However, the low temperature is only one of the advantages of Yaolin Wonderland. What is really surprising is the winding cave landform and the strange stone landscape, which can be called a typical example of karst caves in the subtropical humid area of the central east coast. Representative, with its unique karst landform, attracts tourists from all over the world.

It is said that after textual research by geologists, this place was once a shallow sea 270 million years ago. Fossils of marine animals in the shallow sea such as stringers, meander worms, and sea shells can still be found in the rocks on the mountains in the area. It took time to turn, and it was not discovered in modern times. As early as the Song Dynasty, the poet Ke Yuezhai had compared this cave to a fairyland. In the 12th year of Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty, Yang Baoyi, the magistrate of Tonglu, even nominated it as "Yaolin Wonderland". It is also recorded in the Tonglu County Chronicles during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. It is said that it is a "place for immortals to play" and it does look extraordinary.

The entire Yaolin Wonderland is 1 kilometer deep and has a total area of 28000 square meters. In such a large area, it can be said that there is a scene step by step. For example, the first statue is a shaggy lion on the left and a group of long-nosed elephants on the right. The "lion and elephant welcome" welcoming guests from afar is like a "Guanghan Stage" where fairy music is played and fairies dance, especially the "Milky Way Flying Waterfall" where icebergs and snow melt. It is very rare both in terms of geological structure and landscape appreciation. No wonder the painter Ye Qianyu once praised it as "rare in China but rare in the world."

It is worth mentioning that in addition to the regular natural scenery, Yaolin Wonderland also has karst cave rafting! By kayaking down a slope, you can not only feel the excitement, but you can also enter a colorful world of light and shadow. There are many underground river boating in the karst caves that I have been to, but there are indeed not many who can play rafting in the karst caves.

When you come out of the cave and return to the hot weather, you might as well have a Yaolin Jade Peak Internet Red Ice Cream. Inspired by the appearance of Yaolin Jade Peak, it restores the outline and details of Yaolin Jade Peak in proportion, and even some fine lines are clearly visible. Taking photos and checking in the scenic area with the Internet Red Ice Cream has become a unique ritual feeling during travel now. There are also three flavors to choose from: milk, chocolate, and strawberry. The summer heat in autumn has not subsided, so come to the cave together to escape the heat!

The wise enjoy the water, and the benevolent enjoy the mountains and rivers. The fun of mountains and rivers has been deeply loved by people since ancient times.

During the rainy season, the waterfall can be The height is 30 meters high and 6 meters wide, which is particularly spectacular. Not only that, the park also relies on the natural mountain streams and valley sources to create scenery, building pavilions or stone bridges and plank roads, and even some small scenery, which seems very artistic.

In addition, Daqi Mountain has opened up amusement facilities such as Green World, Children's Fun Garden, Barbecue Ground, Bath Pond, Fish Paradise with the theme of "Green", especially the "Crazy Forest" theme park. It allows children and even adults to fasten their seat belts to ensure safety while shuttling through the jungle.

After visiting Daqishan Forest Park, you must not miss the Daqishan Magic Park at the foot of the mountain. The colorful building next to the parking lot is. When you enter from the gate, you will also enter a world of light and shadow.

There are two main projects in Magic Park: a light show and a naked-eye 7D track theater. The first thing you see is the light show. It is a magical space created using light and shadow effects. There are also many interactive scenes, either in glass and transparent partitions. Shuttling through the maze of walls, wandering in the wheat field of the planet, or being in a rolling tunnel of time and space. Magic and reality are intertwined here, making people feel beautiful, but also an absolute place to take photos and check in.

Coming out of the magical world of light and shadow, the last thing waiting for everyone is 7D movies, which is the naked-eye 7D track theater. While ensuring the naked-eye 3D effect, the seats will also move with the progress of the movie. Even the wind and rain in the movie have corresponding interactions. It can be called an immersive experience. The movie theme also has a variety of themes to choose from. You can travel back to the Jurassic or underwater world in a second, which is very worth experiencing.

In our country, painting culture is as profound as calligraphy culture, especially the ten works by famous artists are the most exquisite and are known as the "Top Ten Famous Paints in China". One of them is "Fuchun Mountain Residence" created by Yuan Dynasty painter Huang Gongwang in 1350. It is set against the Fuchun River in Zhejiang Province. The ink is dark and dry, which is extremely changeable. The original Fuchun River is full of clear and beautiful mountains on both sides and clear rivers. It is famous for its beautiful water color. This real-life version of "Fuchun Mountain Residence" is located in Tonglu County, Zhejiang Province.

There is a fishing platform at the foot of Fuchun Mountain on the north bank of the Fuchun River. It is said that Yan Ziling lived here in seclusion in the Eastern Han Dynasty and got his name. Who is this Yan Ziling? He was a native of Yuyao, Kuaiji, Zhejiang Province. He once studied with Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty. After Liu Xiu ascended the throne, he recruited him many times as a remonstrant minister, but he rejected him all of them. Finally, he retired to Fuchun River and ended up farming and fishing. The place where the ancients chose to live in seclusion must have beautiful mountains, clear waters, outstanding people and earth. We followed Yan Ziling's footsteps and went to see how beautiful it was.

To go to the Yan Ziling Fishing Terrace Scenic Area, you need to buy tickets at the gate, and then take a boat to the opposite bank. The entire scenic area consists of Dongtai, Xitai, Mr. Yan Temple, Shifang, Monument Garden, Fuchun River Small Three Gorges and other attractions. However, most people will choose to go to the East and West Taiwan first. Here, you can choose to take a big boat to set off together. If you are in a hurry, you can also take a speedboat. As soon as you arrive at the dock, you can read the words "Yan Ziling Fishing Terrace, the first sight in the world."

Walking along the Fuchun River, various staff members dressed in ancient costumes, some playing flutes, some playing guzheng, and some even told the story of Yan Ziling and Diaotai like storytellers. Of course, as time turns and history changes, we cannot witness Mr. Yan Ziling fishing on the banks of the Fuchun River, but we can also see the immersive performance brought by the staff, as if we have traveled back to the time when fishing, firewood, farming, reading, and piano, chess, calligraphy and painting were the main focus. era.

Follow the steps and you will reach the fishing platform. The fishing platform is divided into two places: the east and the west. The two are more than 80 meters apart. They are both on a rock about 70 meters high on the mountain. There is a "Shuangqing Pavilion" on the fork of the stone path to climb the mountain. It is said to be built during the Republic of China. In this way, we will walk along the way in the tranquility and pursuit of the relics of the ancients.

The steps are not high and you can reach the top in less than an hour. It is recommended to go to Dongtai first, which is said to be Yan Ziling's fishing place. You can see a flat boulder like a viewing platform on the East Terrace. Here, you can look around and enjoy a panoramic view of the entire Fuchun River. In order to allow everyone to enjoy the scenery without blocking, there is no fence beside the boulder, so whether it is taking photos or looking far away, you cannot exceed the signs on the ground, and safety comes first. There is also a stone pavilion built in the Qianlong years next to it, which is also very simple.

Xitai is called "Xie Ao Terrace", named after Xie Ao, a survivor of the Southern Song Dynasty. It is said that he once cried bitterly north here in the 26th year of the Yuan Dynasty (1290), and then boated on the Fuchun River and hit rocks with bamboo ruyi. At the same time, he sang "Chu Ci" and wrote "Xitai Wailing Notes" to explain the matter. It was a memorial to the patriotic hero Wen Tianxiang. It is also a historical relic worth visiting.

In addition to pursuing the relics of the ancients, Yan Ziling Fishing Platform has also added many water entertainment facilities, allowing tourists to understand history while also rafting on the Fuchun River to feel the charm of nature.

From ancient times to the present, Li Bai, Su Shi, Lu You, Zhu Xi, Li Qingzhao, Fan Zhongyan, Meng Haoran and other literati have all come to Diaotai. From the Northern and Southern Dynasties to the Qing Dynasty, thousands of poets or writers have come here., leaving behind more than 2000 poems and poems. It seems that it is indeed a treasure place of outstanding people and earth.

In just a few days, for Tonglu, the back garden of Hangzhou, it was just a glimpse and looking forward to seeing it again next time.
