The whole scenic spot covers an area of 92 square kilometers and is divided into five scenic spots: Taimu Mountain Yue, Jiulixi Waterfall, Qingchuan Waterfront, Sangyuan Cuihu and Fuyao Islands. There are also two independent scenic spots, Lengbao and ruiyun temple. There are mountains and mountains. Strange rocks, grotesque caves, beautiful streams, waterfalls and many other natural landscapes, as well as rich cultural landscapes such as ancient temples and inscriptions.
According to the investigation by the geological department, Taimu rock is a coarse-grained granite, which belongs to the product of the late Yanshanian period of Mesozoic Cretaceous, about 90 million to 1 100 million years ago. As the crust changes and the ocean rises, three groups of vertical joints develop, forming criss-crossing cliffs, peaks and caves. After millions of years of wind and rain erosion and flowing water erosion, today's abrupt peaks and rocks gradually formed.
Taimu Mountain was very prosperous in the Tang and Song Dynasties. There are 36 temples in the south and north of the mountain, among which Guoxing, Ruiyun, Lingfeng, Bajiao and Tianwang are the largest. There are still 360 stone pillars in the site of Guoxing Temple, and there are pagodas and stone pools in front of the temple, which shows the scale at that time. Yuhu Temple is Zhu Caotang, and the cave is Zhu's seclusion place. There are dozens of cliff stone carvings by famous people in the past dynasties, such as "the first mountain in the world", "the grand view of mountains and seas" and "the land of Taoism and Buddhism". Qinyu Town, at the foot of Taimu Mountain, was one of the heroic positions in Fujian coastal anti-Japanese war in the Ming Dynasty. It is called "the eternal town". 1988, Taimu Mountain was approved by the State Council to be included in the second batch of national scenic spots in the name of Fujian Taimu Mountain Scenic Spot. Visitors entering Taimu Mountain Scenic Area are like entering a large exhibition hall of contemporary world sculpture masters. There are thousands of giant sculptures with their own ingenuity, some of which are Xiao people and some are Xiao objects. Such as Eighteen Arhats Rock, Fairy Sawing Board, Couple Peak, Golden Cat Jumping Mouse, Jade Monkey Looking in the Mirror, Nine Carps Flying in the Sky, Two Buddhas Talking about Classics, Scarabs Climbing the Wall, and Wei Tuo Ascending to Heaven Gate. ..................................................................................................
In particular, the landscapes of "Nine Carps in the Sky" and "Two Buddhas Talking about Classics" are particularly unique. The stone of "Nine Carps Going to Heaven" looks like nine carp jumping into space, and the stone of "Monk's lecture" looks like a monk sitting on the altar wearing a cassock, holding a scripture and facing the East China Sea. This group of landscapes stretches for more than a thousand meters, magnificent, really spectacular. If after a thunderstorm, the mountains and rivers are washed, the water is bright and the sea is as flat as a mirror, showing a group of deep peaks, one bright and one dark, with strong contrast. The winding coastline behind the peaks, dotted islands, undulating mountains and varied rhythmic terraces enhance the strength and verticality of the cliffs, forming a huge watermark woodcut-like "grand view of mountains and seas" map, which is magnificent and finely carved. "Husband and wife peak" is different from different angles!
Because of the overlapping peaks and rugged rocks, mountains and valleys echo each other from afar, there are wonders such as "echo valley", "three echoes" and "seven echoes", which add endless interest to tourists.
Due to its special geographical location, Taimu is not only grotesque, but also has many tortuous and deep caves. According to the census of relevant departments, there are more than 100 caves of various kinds here. It takes 28 days to walk through so many caves, and some caves take a whole day as soon as they enter and leave. These caves have their own characteristics, such as extending to the lower part and reaching the sea, which is called "sea-opening cave"; There is an upward expansion that can reach the top of the stone. This is the so-called "Tiantong Cave". There are two steep rocks with stones attached to them, which are called "Seven-Star Cave". There is a wall-cutting lane, which regards the sky as a line and says "a line of sky"; There is dripping water all year round, which is called "drip hole"; Rocks are piled up, and the top of the cave is high and low, so tourists need to bend their backs when entering, which is called "three folds"; There is a hole in the cave called "Shenxian Cave" ... there is a hole where you can see the sun, and there is a well in the hole. There is a Longtan in the cave. Small ones can only accommodate children for a nap, and large ones can accommodate thousands of people. Can build buildings, platforms, pavilions. Every summer in the cave, the valley is full of orchids, and the fragrance wafts, sometimes not, which makes people ecstatic. For example, the General's Eighteen Caves is a group of caves composed of more than ten caves, which can go up, down, left and right. The cave can look at the sea and the sun. The grotesque rocks are like camels and jade bamboo shoots. Some of them rotate downward like a spiral, some are upright with walls, and the stone path is remote. There are not only "first-line sky" but also "third-line sky". There are many dark springs, and the bottom is clear. Due to the active airflow, some caves are cold and windy, and some caves are warm and harmonious. The wonderful thing is to stand in one place and spread out your hands, and feel different in cold and warm. In some places, there is even Tai Gu Teng who fights for the sunshine and rain, and fights for survival, stubbornly circling and winding along the cave wall, weaving a vibrant "hymn". It takes two hours to get in and out of this "General Eighteen Hole". Visitors must walk in various movements, such as squatting, climbing, climbing and sideways. Some people call these movements "Tai Mu aerobics", with different postures, laughing all the way and enjoying themselves.
"Cloud crossing the wall is a thousand risks" is a true portrayal of Taimu Qifeng. There are 45 peaks in Taimu Mountain, including Fuding Peak, Crescent Peak, Gaby Peak, Fairy Medicine Peak and Lotus Peak, all of which are between 500 meters and 900 meters. In particular, it is even more dangerous to cross Niubeishi in Tianmenling and overpass in Tuojiuling. Some people have to climb over it, and some people have to win here. After crossing the dangerous peak, you can overlook thousands of miles, and the weather is myriad, which really feels infinite. Fuding Peak is named after Fuding Peak, hence the name Fuding County. On a sunny day, I climbed to the top of the mountain and looked eastward. The vast sea and sky, boundless islands, large and small, were vividly in my mind. Crescent Peak, also known as Sunwatch Peak, can watch the sun in the morning and the moon at dusk, which is a good place to watch the moon rise. "You can see the shadow of Fusang when you put on your clothes, but the sky is not covered with clouds." When watching the sun in Taimu Mountain, you can see the spectacular sight of a red sun rising from the Ran Ran at sea, which is rare in other scenic spots. Chen Zhongqing's "The Story of Mount Taimu": "Seeing the sun on Mount Tai, seeing different things, the sky is far away, this is the first." Looking at the moon at night, the mountains are hazy and the rocks are black, which is another taste.
People who visit Tai Lao often say that Tai Lao lacks water, but it is not. Mount Taimu and Hajto, which are surrounded by mountains and seas, are known as the "fairy capitals on the sea". Looking at the mountains and the sea, they set each other off and become interesting, which is spectacular. There are many narrow valleys and caves in Taimu Mountain, and there is almost no water on the ground. After a heavy rain, about two hours later, surface water flowed into the cave, forming various hidden springs and waterfalls. The water gurgled down, like a pipa plucked slowly, like a zither flicked. Visitors can quietly listen to the sound of spring water, enjoy water and enjoy endless fun in the cave. There are many hidden springs in the mountain stream. Because of the echo in the cave, tourists can hear all kinds of underwater sounds at different positions and angles, some rustling and some singing, which is very beautiful. It can wash away all the troubles in your chest. There are water features such as East Folding Waterfall, West Folding Waterfall and Jiuli River. , distributed on both sides of Taimu. Longtan lake has been built in Longtan Cave behind Guoxing Temple, and "Nine Carps in the Sky" and "Eighteen Arhats" are reflected in the water, with lakes and mountains for people to enjoy. A few mouthfuls of mineral water gushed from cracks in granite or spring water, which was sweet and refreshing. Therefore, Tai Mu is not without water. The water in the cave is more wonderful than the water on the ground.
Taimu is foggy near the sea, 360 days a year, and the foggy season reaches 100 days. The ancients praised Mount Taimu: "The clouds change wonderfully." Where there are clouds in the mountains, there is aura. Mount Taimu is rugged with grotesque rocks, steep peaks, strange caves, and sometimes light clouds and fog, which makes the peaks of Mount Taimu even more mysterious. Sometimes blue gauze is worn to add beauty; Sometimes deep in the clouds, be vividly portrayed; Sometimes the fog is overcast, only the bells in the depths of the white clouds make people feel like they are in a fairyland ... At the turn of spring and summer or after the rain, Chu Qing and Shan Lan diffuse into a vast sea of clouds, stretching all the way to the sky. At present, in the boundless waves, the peaks appear and disappear, floating and sinking, just like Ling Bo treading the waves. Especially in spring and winter, when the sea fog comes, it is more like rough waves, the waves rolling, and the whole mountain peak is hidden in the clouds for a while. It's crisp in autumn. In the morning, a few wisps of mist cover the top of the mountain, or a few wisps of Shan Lan whirl between the peaks. The sunshine passes through the mist, which is bright, harmonious and wonderful.
