Jiulian Mountain and Jiu Feng are interlaced, and three canyons are formed due to mountain movement: Xiliangou, Guanhou Grand Canyon and Hongyan Grand Canyon. The Three Gorges is surrounded by a triangle, with rocks like axes, peaks like knives, waterfalls like practice, and shallow pools and streams at the bottom of the valley like jasper.
In addition to the beautiful natural scenery, Jiulian Mountain also has a heavy human landscape. Donglian Temple, Xilian Temple and Hou Jing Palace are places where people in Fiona Fang villages spontaneously believe. Among them, the gods and Buddhists are neck and neck, and Buddhism and Taoism sing together, which is very characteristic of folk culture, commonly known as "Little Western Heaven".

Jiulian Mountain is the representative of the scenery of South Taihang Mountain. It has the characteristics of heroism, danger, beauty and strangeness. It is named after the nine peaks resemble a blooming lotus. The scenery of Jiulian Mountain is beautiful, and the account book of Jiulian Mountain is amazing.
It is said that there are nine lotus mothers there, some make a wish step by step, some people go to burn incense together, some go to have fun alone, and some go to seek happiness with their families. There is no beautiful scenery at the foot of the mountain. Full of smoke and firecrackers, it is an ideal place for temple pilgrims.
Jiulianshan Scenic Area in Xinxiang is a scenic spot in Henan Province, a national geological park and a macaque reserve. Located in the east of Baligou Scenic Area in Xinxiang City, 55 kilometers away from Xinxiang City. Jiulian Mountain, named after Jiu Feng as the Lotus, is the most beautiful virgin land in South Taihang. Gullies, cliffs, clean pools, vegetation, geology and landforms remain primitive and wild. Mysterious gobbledygook, touching chanting, strange beliefs and endangered folk art are the unique original ecological tourism culture of Jiulian Mountain. Jiulian Mountain is a spiritual home to cultivate traditional culture and return to nature, and a good place for leisure and holiday.

Legend has it that there is only swift water here, and there is no still pool. Xiaoqinglong likes the scenery and waterfalls here and often plays in the water here. There is an old woman at the foot of the mountain who has a strange disease and can't be cured. Knowing that the water here can cure all diseases, Xiao Qinglong became a young man, carrying the old woman on her back and giving her water to wash outside and cure inside. The water in the canyon is fast, so it is inconvenient to take a bath, and you can't take a bath all over. At this time, Jiulian's mother was preaching in Xilian Temple, and Xiao Qinglong prayed for Jiulian's mother to create a pool to treat the elderly. Mother Jiulian threw nine lotus petals into the canyon, and the petals turned into nine pools in the blink of an eye. The water in the pools exuded attractive lotus fragrance. Xiao Qinglong asked the old man to drink the water from the first pool and take a bath in the other eight pools. Nine days later, the old woman recovered. Since then, many people have bathed in the pool, saying that they can cure diseases, protect skin and beautify. You can smell it carefully with your nose if you don't believe me. You can definitely smell that the water here is different from other places, and the fragrant lotus is intoxicating.
Tianhu Waterfall: At the source of Jiulian Lake. Above the waterfall is a large pool shaped like a teapot. Legend has it that Jiulian's mother used a pot to hold water to alleviate the drought, sprayed rain on the ground, abandoned the pot here and turned it into a pot-shaped pool. The waterfall spouts from the spout, hence the name Tianhu Waterfall. The waterfall falls 100 meters, and the momentum flowing down is both heroic and euphemistic like fog. You stand at the bottom of the waterfall, or the spray turns into fog and splashes on your head, face and body, making people feel like dreaming. Stay a little longer, and the water drops will make people feel refreshed.
At this time, we can't help but think of the poem that Li Bai, a great poet in Chinese history, recited the waterfall:
Shoot in the air and wash the blue wall left and right.
At first, the river fell and was half scattered in the sky.
Flying beads scatter light clouds, and foam boils dome stones.
The waterfall stands on three cliffs. Among the rocks in front of the pool, there are patches of bamboo forests swaying gently, and there is a thatched pavilion in the bamboo forests. Although the waterfall here is loud, it also makes people feel mysterious. Further on, there is a huge square stone called Hero Platform, on which Tai Ji Chuan is performed. With the sound of water and piano, the hero stage is like a martial arts performance with singing and dancing. Guzheng performance, Tai Ji Chuan has entered the national intangible cultural heritage list, which is a valuable folk culture in China. Let's listen to this guzheng, sometimes soothing and sometimes exciting, singing slowly in water and air. We seem to be in front of the pianos of Zhong Ziqi and Boya thousands of years ago, enjoying the deep affection of knowing each other.
Ladder: Built in 1972, 12 migrant workers fought day and night 146 days to complete the ladder construction. There was no high-tech equipment and no financial support at that time. Only 12 people, only 146 days, relying on hands, hammers, steel chisels, eating corn flour, confused, created this climbing road.
Enjoy Tianhu Waterfall, turn from the trail and climb the ladder. There is a sightseeing elevator here. If you want to get to the cliff quickly and conveniently, you can take the sightseeing elevator here.
The ladder * * * has 999 steps, here are 200 steps, and there are 790 steps up. Look at this archway, and the couplets on both sides are "Is there a true or false hero on the stage?" "It is difficult to look back at the sky and overlook the cliff." From here, you have to climb the ladder. Looking up, you will feel that it is hidden at the end of the ladder in nothingness. Perhaps there is a Tianque Qionglou, where the immortal lives high above, looking at the world with mirth and welcoming you to the top! If you want to see the scenery on the cliff, you can only climb up step by step without fear of difficulties and obstacles. As the couplet says, sincerity depends on whether you have the courage to go forward.
Tonghui Bridge in Xilian Temple: The first bridge that just entered Xilian Village, "Tonghui Bridge", as its name implies, is a bridge leading to wisdom. The Diamond Sutra is an important Buddhist classic, which belongs to Prajna academically, and Prajna is great wisdom. Knowing everything is called wisdom, and knowing everything is called wisdom. Prajna wisdom is not general wisdom, but savvy, savvy and extraordinary wisdom; It is great wisdom, and it is wisdom beyond ordinary wisdom. Legend has it that when Jiulian's mother was practicing in Jiulian Mountain, she just thought hard in the cave at first, but she never understood the true meaning. Guanyin told her to go out of the cave and walk in the crowd more, so that she would grow smart and know everything. Old mother Jiulian crossed the stream from here to observe the people's feelings and save the suffering, and soon became an immortal. This bridge is a bridge to wisdom. Whoever walks through it will gain wisdom and become smart. Don't walk back and forth a few times like you, it makes people smarter and smarter.
Xilian Temple: Built in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Legend has it that Liu Xiu built this temple to thank Jiulian's mother for saving her life. In the Tang and Five Dynasties, Buddhism was highly respected, and Wu Zetian felt that Xilian Temple was dedicated to the goddess, which was just what she wanted. The temple is still a little small, so we decided to expand Xilian Temple and combine Buddhism and Taoism in one temple. It is called Xilian Temple Xixin Temple to show merit. There are still inscriptions in the temple saying that Xixin Temple was built in the Tang Dynasty. Accurately speaking, Xilian Temple was built in the Eastern Han Dynasty and expanded in the Tang Dynasty. Although there is the saying of Xixin Temple, the people don't buy it, and it is still called Xilian Temple.
Although Xilian Temple is small, it has three unique features. They are: the first inclined mountain gate in the world, where Guanyin, Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism sit in a temple to worship.
Xilian Temple is also a place where women believe in gods, and more than half of them are enshrined in temples, which is also rare. China originated from matriarchal society and has long worshipped women's procreation. The construction process of Xilian Temple was related to women such as Jiulian's mother, Liu Xiu's wife Yin Lihua, Empress Wu Zetian and Li Taihou, the mother of Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty. It goes without saying that Xilian Temple is dedicated to the common god of women. Many old mothers in the temple are actually the image of their mothers. The most prominent feature of Mother God and Mother God is fraternity and tolerance. China's mother worship is a major feature of China's traditional folk culture and a traditional virtue of China people since ancient times. The old mother god here cares for and protects all beings, no matter men, women and children, whether officials or people, whether you are poor or rich, who has no mother and who has not grown up under maternal love. The worship of Xilian Temple in Xiaoxitian reflects our mother's traditional virtue and culture of kindness and filial piety.
