There is also a beautiful legend about Conghua Hot Springs: It is said that there is an old man named Xu who lives in Qinglongtou Village by the Liuxi River in Conghua. He is an herbalist. One year, the plague was prevalent. Seeing that the villagers were ill and could not be treated, the old man climbed Shangjiashan to collect medicine regardless of the inconvenience of his old legs. His kind heart touched the fairy, who gave him a silver pot that could boil the spring water into medicine. The old man used this silver pot to alleviate the plague prevalent in the village. However, the clever use of the silver pot alarmed the greedy bully and the old man was forced to climb the cliff to avoid being robbed by the bad guys. But the bad guys chased after him, so the old man had to ask the fairy to jump off the cliff. Unexpectedly, a water column gushed out from the broken silver pot, and all the bad guys rushed into Liuxi River and drowned. From then on, the clear spring gushed out day and night along Liuxi River. This clear spring, which can not only keep fit but also cure diseases, is Conghua Hot Spring.
The main attractions are: Waterfall Hot Spring Waterfall is located on the stone cliff of Toujia Mountain, in the middle reaches of Toujia River, 3 kilometers away from the hot spring Bilang Bridge. Waterfalls are divided into five levels, called Baizhang Waterfall, Hong Fei Waterfall and Powder Waterfall. Baizhang Waterfall is composed of 1, 2 and 3 waterfalls, which is magnificent. During the Republic of China, Zou Lushu, the president of Sun Yat-sen University, wrote Su Dongbo's poem "A hundred feet of flying waves leak into the sky", which was carved on the stone at the source of the waterfall. 1962, President Zhu De wrote "Mountain Dancing Silver Snake" on Baizhang Waterfall Cliff. Hong Fei Waterfall is the fourth grade, with rumbling sound, dancing rain and fog, shining sunshine and colorful colors, and rainbows in the valley. The powder waterfall is five levels, the waterfall pours, and the water mist flies like powder, which permeates the valley. According to legend, the local people use waterfalls to push water hyacinth to make "fragrant powder" (a tree on the mountain is processed into powder, and now it is used as mosquito-repellent incense raw material), hence the name "fragrant powder waterfall". Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, many springs on both sides of Liuxi River naturally gushed hot water, and a large amount of hot water formed a hot pool (now Liuchunting Datang). Hot springs gushed from the beach in the northeast of the river, forming "hot sand". Hot spring water is hot, and the locals call it "Tangquan" for washing and bathing. 1960 The water quality of the hot spring was scientifically appraised by the mine water group of the Hydrogeology Team of Guangdong Geological Bureau, and it was confirmed that the hot spring water was a rare and precious mineral spring water containing radon, and the water quality was crystal clear, colorless and tasteless. Hot springs mainly contain silicon dioxide, radon, calcium, potassium, sodium, magnesium, ammonium, chlorine, fluorine and other elements 10. This hot spring hot water has important medical value, and has auxiliary curative effect on more than 30 diseases such as human dermatosis, scapulohumeral periarthritis, lumbar muscle strain and arthritis. At the hot springs 1O that have been developed and utilized in the hot spring scenic area, the average daily self-flow is about 1400 cubic meters, and the maximum daily flow is 3000 cubic meters. Twenty-seven units in the scenic area have used hot spring hot water. The main cultural landscapes of hot springs include Cui Di Pavilion, Liu Chun Pavilion, Yin Qing Pavilion, Bilang Bridge, Hot Spring Lake, Tianhu Lake, Tianyi Pavilion and Waterfall Pavilion.
Cui Diting is located on the left side of Bilang Bridge in Hexi, with red tiles and green tiles, standing on the banks of Liuxi River. This pavilion was built in 1930s, and was originally named Answer Pavilion, in which several natural yellow wax stones were used as chairs. On both sides are several tall maple trees, full of spring, shaded by green leaves and dripping with spring rain. 196 1 The famous poet Guo Moruo enjoyed the scenery and expressed his feelings in the pavilion with the title "Cui Di Pavilion".
Liu Chun Pavilion is located in the center of Hedong. This used to be a fish pond. 1958, a short flower wall was built around to form a small round lake. There are two hot spring eyes in the lake, one is a circular platform, the other is an elegant four-corner pavilion, with a green glazed tile roof and a curved bridge. There are villas on the shore of the lake, with red walls and green tiles, blue sky and green trees, reflected in the water, and spring scenery is always there. 1964 65438+ In October, Qi Yanming wrote "Liu Chunting".
Yin Qing Pavilion is located at the southern end of Hexi, beside Liuxi River, at the intersection of Dengtianhu Mountain and Guanwaterfall. In 1930s, a bamboo pavilion was built here, named Erli Pavilion (destroyed). 1957, the hexagonal pavilion was rebuilt here, surrounded by railings and chairs, with pale yellow and smooth wax stone in the middle. The lake in front of the pavilion is clear, and the breeze is blowing gently in the pavilion. Visitors can take a nap in the pavilion while climbing the mountain to see the waterfall. 1Feb. 963, Dong named this pavilion "Yin Qing Pavilion".
Bilang Bridge is located in the central area of the scenic spot, across the banks of Liuxi River. Built in 1960, it is a stone arch bridge with a length of 80m and a width of 8m. Under the bridge, the blue waves are rippling, overlooking the fence, the mountains and rivers are the same, and the fish are swarming downstream of the bridge, and the sun is shining. At night, the lights are brightly lit and the shadows in the water are colorful. 196 1 year, Guo Moruo named this bridge "Bilang Bridge".
Hot spring lake was built in 1960. After the dam was built in Shagang, the water level rose, forming a lake of several hundred meters in Fiona Fang, adding some elegance to the scenic spot. In summer, golden beaches and clear lakes attract people to swim and play, and laughter dances in the lake. In the early days of the lake, there were many colorful yachts here, where tourists could swim around the lake and watch the beautiful natural scenery of the hot springs.
Tianhu, located at the top of the waterfall, was built at 1972, which was one of the five major water conservancy projects in Conghua County at that time. Because it was built on a high mountain, it was named "Tianhu", meaning the lake in the sky. The water surface of Tianhu Lake is nearly 1 square kilometer, with a vertical length of 7 kilometers and a storage capacity of10.34 million cubic meters. There is a pavilion in the middle of the lake. There is a fairy pool under the dam, in which there is a fairy statue carved by Guangzhou sculptor Tang Daxi. The fairy stepped on the lotus platform, holding the gauze lightly in one hand, lifelike, floating in the pool, intending to play in the water Under Xianchi is the famous hot spring waterfall. There is also a speedboat in Tianhu. People can take the speedboat and enjoy the beautiful scenery in the lake.
Tianji Clinic is located about 400 meters behind Song Yuan Restaurant. Here, the mountains and rivers are gurgling, the forests are humming and the environment is quiet. There is a natural boulder by the stream, 4 meters long and 3 meters high, with a flat front, engraved with the words "Tian Yichu" and the inscription "There is no medicine to cure, but many people need Yi Tian." Living in polluted air, the disease should be quick-acting, the doctor should be more open at dusk, and Chinese and western medicines should be mixed until someone dies of the disease and someone dies of medicine. Pearl River Pension Park advocates the construction of sub-parks here. Do you love its quietness, its environment suitable for providing for the aged and its environment suitable for treatment? Anyone who comes to live here, I dare to agree with this, but I still write it down and tell each other so that he can persevere and climb to the city of longevity with the help of the king. This is also the meaning of the old saying. 1920 1 On the 26th of the month when the First Hospital was built, Liang Peiji of Shunde wrote a certificate that it was ok. "Liang Peiji advocates' heavenly doctors' and uses a quiet environment to recuperate certain diseases. Liang took a fancy to the treasure land of hot springs, with high mountains and dense forests, elegant environment and hot springs, which are suitable for providing for the aged, so he set up a branch for providing for the aged in Songyuan.
Waterfall Pavilion is located halfway up the mountain climbing road leading to Tianhu, in the pine forest along the road. There was a waterfall pavilion here in the 1950s, but it was abandoned because of the construction of Tianhu Lake. Rebuilt at 1985. The pavilion is rectangular, surrounded by railings and stone chairs, with ochre glazed tiles on the top, and the "Waterfall Pavilion" inscribed by Liang Lingguang hangs in the pavilion. Visitors can have a panoramic view of the waterfall in the pavilion and enjoy the scene of "flying waves with a hundred feet and leaking the sky".
