What to see in Paradise Village, look at the mountains, and look at the ability of the house is the mountain male, the secluded ravine, and the water show. The strange rocks in the park are towering, and the perennial clouds and mist cover them, giving people a sense of unfathomable mystery. This is the Valley of the Gods, and it's so picturesque that we walk in the paintings, so please be careful to take care of the environment and make the magical colors shine brighter. Wonderful place will naturally have beautiful myths and legends, there is a legend in the Valley of the Gods for the Taishang Laojun loves to frequent activities of the place, everyone see, that boulder, there is a deep hole under the boulder, there is a pool in front of the hole, according to legend, there is a pair of carp in the pond is infected by the fairy spirit of the Taishang Laojun, whenever the Taishang Laojun concentrates on preaching, the two carp also swim into the well to listen attentively, and the feathers become dragons for a long time, and the cultivation is a positive fruit, so the descendants call this two wells Shuanglong Pond. This is the myth and legend about the origin of Shuanglong Pond, although the myth is beautiful, life still needs to be practiced. The cave in front of everyone's eyes is said to be the place where Taishang Laojun lived and ate, so people named it the fairy cave.

The water of the Valley of the Gods was now split in two by a boulder, gurgling down from both sides of it, like two silver dragons happily running out of the valley.

Let's keep looking, please keep up. What we see now is the Philosopher's Peak, which is known as one of the Three Wonders of Heaven. Please take a closer look, this cliff is about 100 meters high, resembling a huge head, broad forehead and thick eyebrows, high raised nose bridge, fleshy lips, contemplating the north, as if thinking about a major philosophical proposition. The buildings here are unified in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Most of them are located in the mountains. Quite a copycat. The mountain road is rugged, please be careful with your steps and pay attention to safety. It may seem inconspicuous, but in fact it has quite favorable military conditions.

In the War of Liberation, Liu Deng's army advanced into the Dabie Mountains, which was a historical turning point for our army to shift from strategic defense to strategic offensive. On June 30, 1947, Liu Bocheng and * led the main force of the Jin, Hebei, Shandong, and Henan field armies, Liu Deng's army, in accordance with the strategic policy of the Party Central Committee, with superhuman courage and courage to cross the Yellow River and leap into the Dabie Mountains, victoriously opening the prelude to the People's Liberation Army's strategic counter-attack. By mid-October, Liu Deng's army had controlled more than 150 kilometers of Jiangfang on the north bank of the Yangtze River. Now we have reached the summit of the Philosopher's Peak, and here, looking around the world, you can see 100,000 mountains worshipping below. To the north, you can see the Central Plains, and you can see the Jingchu landscape in the south. Watching the sunrise in the early morning is like being outside the nine heavens, and watching the sunset in the evening is like walking in Asgard. Whenever the rain is clear, the morning to climb the peak to watch the sea of clouds is the weather is thousands, the vast sea of clouds, layers of smoke flow, the green mountains, like the fishing boat in the sea of white waves, from time to time, and like a dragon soaring and dancing, swallowing clouds and spitting fog. The view is spectacular and breathtaking. It's a pity that we don't have enough time to enjoy this beautiful scenery together, if you have the opportunity to come to Dabie Mountain next time, you must not miss this view!

This is the Star Picking Peak, as the name suggests, we are almost at the end of the sky. It is surrounded by abysses on both sides, with only a stone path to climb up, and the danger is shocking. Several boulders on the top of the Star Picking Peak, independent of the peak, seem to fly from the sky. If you stand on the star-picking peak and look northeast, there is still a dangerous scene that will jump into your eyes. A mountain range is interrupted to become a cliff here, different from others, here every spring and autumn, there are countless stone swallows come together, dwelling between the cliff wall cracks, flying in the mountains and jungles, people call the stone swallow cliff.

It's getting late, so please come down with me. Please be sure to pay attention to safety when descending the mountain.

The staff of Education International Travel Service expressed their heartfelt welcome to everyone. Welcome to the beautiful river city of Wuhan. I am your tour guide Liu Yaping, you can call me Xiao Liu. As the saying goes, there are friends from afar, and it is not said that it is also true!

I hope you can have a good time in the next tour and leave good memories in Wuhan.

We are now on our way to Wuhan's most famous attraction, the Yellow Crane Tower, the landmark of Jiangcheng. The Yellow Crane Tower is the first of the three famous buildings in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Guqin Terrace and the Qingchuan Pavilion are called the three major scenic spots in Wuhan. Friends, please look at the place where I pointed, that is the Yellow Crane Tower towering on Wuchang Snake Mountain, which was built in the Wu Huangwu period of the Three Kingdoms (223 AD), with a history of 1,700 years. However, the history is long but after the vicissitudes of life, repeatedly built and destroyed, the last yellow crane tower in history is also called Tongzhi Building, in Guangxu ten years, that is, in 1884 destroyed by fire. Repeatedly built and destroyed in the world, why? This is because the Yellow Crane Tower is no longer a famous building in the general sense, it is not only a lyrical place for countless literati and scholars, but also a witness to the rise and fall of an era. Not long ago, the Yellow Crane Tower was lit up, and a feast of lights kicked off in the Yellow Crane Tower. The lit up Yellow Crane Tower shines brightly, which is the collision of the times and the soul. The times are advancing, the soul is constantly being renewed, and we must be civilized when traveling. Please let this visit be remembered in your heart.

The Yellow Crane Tower, which is about to arrive, was started in 1981 to build, based on the Tongzhi Building of the Qing Dynasty, and can summarize its characteristics in five words: Qi, beautiful and wonderful. It is composed of the main building, the pavilion, the corridor, the archway, the ancient commercial street, etc. The main building has a net height of 51.4 meters and a total of five floors. Each side is 35 meters long, 72 big pillars rise from the ground, 60 warped corners fly the eaves in the air, absorb the length of the building, and gather the wind of the north and the south. The golden glazed roof is simple and magnificent, and the red gourd-shaped treasure roof sparkles at night, and each layer has a strong poetic and picturesque feeling. Like a yellow crane, spread its wings and want to fly.

We now walk into the hall on the first floor of the Yellow Crane Tower, what catches our eyes is a large ceramic mural with a height of 9 meters and a width of 6 meters - the white cloud and the yellow crane, the picture can be divided into two parts: the sky and the earth, the immortal in the sky blows the jade flute, drives the crane to take off, very elegant. In the world, the common people sang and danced and were jubilant. Please look at the columns on both sides, the columns are engraved with the couplets known as one of the two unique Yellow Crane Towers: the refreshing air comes from the west and the clouds and mist sweep away the heaven and earth, and the great river goes to the east to wash away the eternal sorrows. It means that the crisp and pleasant air comes from the west, dispelling the fog accumulated in the clouds, and sweeping away the regrettable things between heaven and earth; The surging Yangtze River rolls eastward, washing away all the troublesome things that have been troublesome throughout the ages. Climb the Yellow Crane Tower today, let us forget about the humiliation, and the future can be expected. Please go upstairs with me, this is the first and a half floor of the horse running corridor, and it is also the only mezzanine floor of the Yellow Crane Tower that is open to the public. By now, you may have noticed that the Yellow Crane Tower has five floors on the outside, but it is not the case on the inside, it actually has nine floors. This is because in ancient China, the singular number was called the yang number, and "9" is the largest of the yang numbers, and it is the same as the Chinese character "long", which has the meaning of "long". In this racecourse, some celebrity calligraphy and paintings are mainly displayed for everyone to enjoy.

Now we are in the hall on the second floor, which displays the historical rise and fall of the Yellow Crane Tower, where the models of the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties and the modern six Yellow Crane Towers are displayed. You see, this Tang Dynasty Yellow Crane Tower, the first floor is connected to the city, there are only two floors from the outside, the overall structure is relatively simple and rough, giving people a simple and majestic feeling. It is very consistent with the famous style of opening up in the Tang Dynasty. Take a look at the building of the Song Dynasty, which is a courtyard-style building group composed of buildings, platforms, pavilions and corridors, showing the exquisite and elegant artistic style of the Song Dynasty. The Yuan Dynasty is characterized by peculiarity and has obvious national characteristics, which is related to the vast territory of the Yuan Dynasty, and there is a bridge in the middle that embodies the good wish of peaceful coexistence between the cultures of the north and the south. In the Ming Dynasty, the Yellow Crane Tower gathered the essence of northern and southern cultures. Let's see, there are some cloth puffs and other things here
