Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Immortal Cave Welcomes Guests
According to Lan Xinrui's proposal, the Stone Forest Cave was officially named the Immortal Cave, and the development of the Immortal Cave is in full swing.
The day after the group wedding, Lan Xinrui and Manager Xu of the Provincial Archaeological Construction Team took a speedboat up the Taohua River, crossing the Immortal Valley and passing through the Immortal Cave to inspect the development situation comprehensively.
After returning to the headquarters, Lan Xinrui looked solemn, rested her head on the sofa, and was silent in thought. Manager Xu made her a cup of tea, and when she saw that her expression was wrong, he asked, "Unwell?" ”
Lan Xinrui shook her head: "No, I always feel that there is something missing in the development of the Immortal Valley?" ”
"Oh, got a new idea?"
"Maybe, show me the development drawings."
"Well, don't you just put it on your table."
"Alas, look at me, when I think about the problem, I can't tell the difference between east and west, north and south."
"It's normal, I sometimes think about the problem, and I can't even name the most familiar person."
Lan Xinrui frowned, looking at the development drawings and meditating. The drawings are crisscrossed with various line patterns, and the digital text marks are dazzling, it is difficult for people who don't know the drawings to see what is going on, but Lan Xinrui has more ideas the more she looks, she picked up the pen and lightly traced a few strokes on the drawings, and then smiled, pushing the drawings to Manager Xu's side.
Manager Xu didn't know what he meant, and asked, "This is your new idea, why can't I understand it?" ”
Lan Xinrui pointed to a few places in the pen and said, "If you improve these places, the whole development will become more perfect." ”
"How?"
"You look at the fairy valley, from the mouth of the valley to the bottom of the valley is distributed in a slope, and the slope is more than 30 degrees, the valley is three miles long, which fully meets the design standards of the drifting channel, and the underground river of the fairy cave has a large amount of water and rich water resources. So I had the idea to build a reservoir at the outlet of the Immortal Cave and transform the stream in the Immortal Valley into a drifting channel. Take a leisurely rafting ride at the forest oxygen bar, which will be a kind of endless enjoyment for tourists. ”
"How was it that such a valuable tourism project was overlooked when it was designed?"
"Everything is difficult to do in one step, it can only be gradually improved and improved, step by step."
"Only you, Mr. Lan, can think so thoroughly. I immediately sent people to explore, single map, single construction. ”
"It should be noted that the design and construction must be carried out in accordance with the construction standards of rafting, and at the same time, the original ecological environment around rafting must be protected."
"No problem, please rest assured that quality is our reputation, but also our life, and protecting the original ecology is our purpose."
"How long will it take to complete the whole project?"
"About four to five months."
Lan Xinrui pinched her fingers and stared at the ceiling: "The Provincial Tourism Bureau has decided to hold a provincial tourism work meeting in Taohua on August 8, and we must complete all the projects before the meeting." ”
Manager Xu did not hesitate: "Okay, I can promise you that you can also make a military order, and it will take another four months for all the projects to be completed and delivered for acceptance." ”
Manager Xu did not break his promise, and four months later, that is, on July 12, he solemnly submitted the project completion acceptance report to Lan Xinrui, announcing the successful completion of the Xianren Cave-Xianren Valley-Taohuahe conjoined development project.
On July 13, Xie Lei led 30 tour guides to enter the Xianren Cave and the Xianren Valley for on-site tour guide simulation training.
On 15 July, the Taohua River Water Service Team was established, and 30 sailboats and three small cruise ships shuttled back and forth on the Taohua River to conduct driving skills and waterway adaptation exercises.
On July 18, the Xianren Cave, the Xianren Valley Forest Leisure Oxygen Bar, and the Taohuahe Water Park were fully opened. According to the tourist routes stipulated by the company, there are two routes to Xianren Cave for tourism: one is to take a boat from the ancient plank road ferry or the water curtain cave ferry of Xiantaoyuan, go straight up along the Taohua River to Shixin Lake in the north of Shilin and then return to the Xianren Valley ferry in Shilin West to get off the boat, and then stroll through the Xianren Valley Forest Leisure Oxygen Bar, then enter the Xianren Cave, and finally enter the Stone Forest Scenic Spot. The other is to enter the fairy cave from the stone forest scenic spot, and after leaving the cave, or hike or drift through the fairy valley forest leisure oxygen bar to the ferry, take a boat to Shixin Lake, and then return to the ancient plank road ferry or water curtain cave ferry port.
On this day, the sky is beautiful, the white clouds are faint, the sun is shining, the south wind is swishing, and the birds are chirping. At seven o'clock in the morning, the ancient plank road ferry port was full of tourists, and 30 sailboats and three cruise ships were fluttering with colorful flags, ready to go. After a simple ribbon-cutting ceremony, Lan Xinrui accompanied the leaders of the four sets of county teams led by Secretary Miao, as well as Director Zhu of the Tourism Bureau and Director Wang of the Public Security Bureau to board the No. 1 cruise ship.
Most of the tourists on the cruise ship climbed to the top of the cockpit, holding their cameras, leaning against the railing, clicking and enjoying the view. Tourists wearing scarlet life jackets on the sailboat hold cameras in both hands, sitting or standing, squatting or kneeling, in different postures, creating different postures for the beautiful scenery.
When the fleet sailed into the ten-acre natural lake, Shixin Lake, the scene in front of them made all the tourists in an uproar. I saw that the ten waterfalls poured down from the 50-meter-high stone cliff, like ten silver chains like pillars, and like ten fluttering white belts, splashing silver flowers on the surface of the lake, producing a roaring noise, making people look at it and tremble when they hear it. This is the famous peach blossom "Ten Swords Piercing Heart Waterfall", which is formed by the long-term crustal movement caused by the ground rift fault.
Secretary Miao looked at the waterfall, his thoughts surged, and he chanted a poem: "The flying stream goes straight down 3,000 feet, and it is suspected that the Milky Way has fallen for nine days." ”
Yu deputy county magistrate praised: "This waterfall not only has the magnificence of Lushan Waterfall, but also has the majesty of Huangguoshu Waterfall. 'Pounding the pearls and breaking the jade, the droplets back, like smoke rising into the air, the momentum is very majestic. It is fitting to use the ancient saying of Xu Xiake to praise this waterfall. ”
"Actually, there are so many places where this waterfall gives us praise and thought, and I think the most interesting thing is its name." Lan Xinrui leaned on the railing and pointed to the waterfall, "You see, the waterfall that flows straight down is like ten bladed swords piercing the henchmen of Shixin Lake, and this is how the name 'Ten Swords Pierce Heart Waterfall' came about. ”
Through the gap of the waterfall, I occasionally saw the black shadow behind the waterfall, Director Zhu asked: "The black shadow behind the waterfall is the bead curtain cave, why is this bead curtain cave named?" ”
"The bead curtain cave is more than 20 meters deep, the entrance of the hole is covered by the waterfall all the year round, the waterfall rises more than 10 meters high on the surface of the lagoon, forms a water curtain nearby, you can get a glimpse of the natural water bead jade curtain in the window of the hole, the bead curtain is the abbreviation of the water bead jade curtain, this is the origin of the name of the bead curtain hole, interesting, right?"
Director Zhu teased: "Is it still interesting to spit out the jade words of your Mr. Lan's golden mouth? ”
"Peach blossoms are so interesting." Lan Xinrui pointed to the rippling and unfathomable Shixin Lake and said: "You can just say this Shixin Lake, its name is also quite symbolic, you see, it is surrounded by towering and steep stone mountains, and then look at the shape of this lake is quite like a human heart, the heart of the stone mountain and the huge flow of water have the saying of Shixin Lake." Legend has it that Shixin Lake used to be the place where Zhu Bajie bathed, and the image of Zhu Bajie in the minds of the common people was ugly, so the common people called Shixin Lake a taboo lake. The lake is a place that you dare not go, and it is a forbidden place. If it weren't for the tourist development, this place would be rarely visited. ”
The cruise ship gradually sailed out of Shixin Lake.
Secretary Miao stood with his hands behind his back, looked back at Shixin Lake, and teased: "I should really thank Zhu Bajie, and I should give him a tree monument to pass on his name, if there is no old man here to guard it, how can there be this original ecological pure land and pure water!" ”
Lan Xinrui applauded happily: "Eh, Secretary Miao, your idea is so good!" ”
"What's a good idea? I don't have any ideas. Comrade Xinrui, what information have you captured? ”
"Secretary Miao, didn't you say that you want to set up a monument to Zhu Bajie to correct the name? This is a high move to enhance the tourism value of Shixin Lake and start the tourism brand of Shixin Lake. ”
"You're pretty good at figuring out what the leader means! Now that you understand, it's up to you what to do next. ”
As he spoke, the cruise ship had stopped at the Immortal Valley Ferry. After the leaders got off the boat, they watched the performance of the art troupe in the small leisure square of the ferry for a while, and then entered the Xianren Valley Forest Leisure Oxygen Bar with towering ancient trees and lush vegetation. The oxygen bar is just like a sea of green, looking up at the cascading green barriers, shading the sun, looking down at the cobblestone-paved antique stone steps criss-crossed, and the clouds are entangled in fog. Thatched houses, ancient wooden houses, swing pavilions, warrior climbing areas, tea room leisure areas, forest anion breathing areas, forest recreation areas, forest camping areas, forest science popularization areas, and extreme drifting areas make the fairy valley an extreme paradise for human leisure.
The leaders tossed and turned through the forest, amazed and lingered. They left the Immortal Valley with reluctance and entered the Immortal Cave through the newly dug tunnel. After the development, the fairy cave is colorful, like stars, like the moon, like the sun, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, different colors reflect each other, constituting a colorful and spectacular picture. Stalactites, stalagmites, majestic stone waterfalls, exquisite and unique stone corals, golden jade wisps of "mirage", vivid "seven fairy shapes", reflecting the colorful stone forest in the water...... These miraculous natural creations come together to make the entire cave feel like a dragon palace wonderland. What is particularly pleasant is to take a boat on the underground river, which is like the beauty of the West Lake and the exploration of the Three Gorges. The most amazing thing is the bones of the soldiers of the Three Kingdoms who were buried in the cave and the huge python that dutifully guarded the cave.
Walking on the sidewalk paved with non-slip plastic boards, it is like climbing the Nine Heavens Wonderland, and walking in the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas.
The leaders walked and stopped from the west entrance of the fairy cave, stopped and walked, leaving envy and admiration all the way, and unconsciously arrived at the east entrance of the fairy cave. The leaders stopped and looked back, attached and reluctant. At this time, there are more and more tourists in the cave, and it has reached the time when it is overcrowded. A young and beautiful waitress shouted to everyone with a megaphone in her hand: "Tourists, please pay attention, in order to ensure the normal order of tourism, please move forward in order, keep moving forward, and do not stop." ”
Lan Xinrui opened her mouth and squirmed her lips, wanting to say something but didn't dare to say it. Her expression happened to be caught by Secretary Miao, and Secretary Miao whispered to her: "It's inconvenient for you to give an order, I'll give an order." ”
Lan Xinrui smiled.
Secretary Miao waved his hand: "Let's go, make some space for tourists, don't be stunned here to occupy their territory." As he spoke, he took the lead out of the cave and entered the Stone Forest Scenic Area.
At the entrance of the fairy cave, a stone forest scenic spot, a long line of tourists is slowly moving towards the cave.
