Lover Valley, formerly known as Fairy Rock. According to local legend, if extremely clever people come to the stone wall here, poems will appear on the stone wall for them to read, hence the name "Fairy Rock". Because of the beautiful scenery here, it has always attracted many tourists and couples to come here to see the scenery, picnic, play, climb mountains, explore and swim. It is said that Li Siguang was attracted by the beautiful scenery here and stayed when he visited Wushu on 1942.
In the early 1980s, some people of insight began to plan to develop this area into a scenic tourist area to develop Wudang tourism. After many people's efforts, it was finally put into development at 1996, and it was named "Lover's Canyon" according to legend. The infrastructure was completed in June, and 1997 was officially opened to tourists in the name of "Lover Valley".
Lover Valley is a good place to relax, enjoy the cool, get close to nature, feel nature and cultivate sentiment. Its valley is picturesque, and its love story is touching. When you come to lover's valley, you will marvel at her wonderful beauty.
At the entrance of the canyon, downstream of the river, the river is as calm as a mirror, and weeping willows and green hills on both sides are clearly visible in the reflection water. If you are boating on the river, you will feel "traveling alone in the painting world". Different styles of leisure villas are built on the mountain, standing by and facing the water, which is in harmony with the green mountains and green waters of nature.
Along the river, the river gradually changed from quiet to lively, and laughter and laughter flowed quickly all the way, as if playing with stones in the water and stirring up waves. The canyon is getting deeper and narrower. Look up, it's a natural line. The cliffs on both sides are steeper and higher, meeting the white clouds in the sky. Let you fully appreciate the wonderful artistic conception of Wei Yun painted by Qin Guan, a poet in Song Dynasty, on the mountain. The vines are still lush, the birds are still singing, the flowers are still fragrant, and the shadows are cool. In order to make it easier for tourists to fully appreciate and feel the scenery around, a "cliff road" was artificially dug on the cliff, winding between the cliffs, and an almost vertical "ladder" went straight to the "Tiangong" from more than 200 stone steps. Being on it and overlooking it is like being in an abyss, which is creepy, but there is also an exciting pleasure that stirs people's hearts; At the same time, you can see the whole canyon from a height: the canyon is deep and the mountains are beautiful, which makes you feel like you are in a fairyland, and your mind is suddenly enlightened.
The whole canyon, the scenery is changeable and magical. In addition to the wonderful canyon scenery, there are many caves deep in the jungle and between cliffs. For example, the grottoes such as Wangtian Pavilion, Tongtian Cave, Shenxian Cave and Rhino Cave are full of strange stones and Zhong Shi, which will make you laugh and think deeply.
Among many landscapes, the most legendary one is the scene of "Golden Tortoise Supporting Bridge". In the steepest valley on both sides of the canyon, a huge stone shaped like a turtle propped up a bridge across the valley. Under the agitation of the current, this "giant turtle" shook its head in the water waves, fluctuating from time to time and lifelike. There is a beautiful legend about the "golden turtle supporting the bridge", which is also the reason why the "Lover Valley" is named.
Thousands of years ago, in the deep mountains on both sides of Lover Valley, there were two Miao villages called Diwuling and Mitangjing. Ashan, a young man in Wuling, is handsome and hardworking; Tommy, a Jing girl, is affectionate and beautiful. Ashan often goes to lover's valley to collect firewood.
Water often goes to the lover's valley to herd sheep. They often meet each other across the river for a long time, greeting each other and greeting each other, so their feelings are long. One day, Ah Shui couldn't help it, blushing and singing to A Shan on the other side: "The river is full of water and sand, and the fish wags their tails in it;" When will the fish come to drink water? When will my brother get married? " Yashan was overjoyed when he heard this. Immediately, she sang back: "My brother crossed the water, my sister crossed the cliff, and the water came around the mountain. "My brother changed swallows to fly over the river, and my sister changed bees to fly over the cliff." They express their feelings with songs and vows.
In order to cross the river and be with his sweetheart, Ashan cut down trees to build bridges. However, the river was too fierce and too fast, and the trees on the bridge were washed away again and again by the ruthless river. When Ashan was extremely anxious, a giant turtle appeared from the water waves, built a bridge for Ashan and helped him cross the river to meet the water. So every day, Ashan and Ashui can be together and love each other with the help of the tortoise. Their love affair was known by Shui's parents. They thought that Ashan's family was poor and resolutely opposed it, and they wanted to marry Ashan's silly son. Ashan and Ashui are in great pain. In order to never part, both of them left home, hid in a cave deep in the lover's valley, and lived a loving life without worldly constraints. This story is so magical and moving that it has been passed down to this day.
The beautiful love story of Lover Valley adds endless charm to the landscape here, which makes people have a long aftertaste and thousands of thoughts.
