The wonders of Guidong Sea of Clouds:
Guidong can be said to be a rare and excellent place to view the sea of clouds in the country. There are hundreds of mountains to choose from. Let’s introduce two first: Then I’ll tell you why Guidong has such good resources for the wonders of the sea of clouds.
1. The wonder of the Sea of Clouds in Qing'e Fairyland, East Guangxi: The microclimate is unique, and the wonder of the Sea of Clouds can be seen in all seasons. It is also a rare place in the country where Buddha’s light often appears. Qing'e Fairy Mountain has a stone top and is open all around. After a shower, the water vapor forms a sea of clouds. The waterfall clouds formed by the influence of air currents are ever-changing, and the wind and clouds are rolling. The wonder of the sea of clouds appears on Qing'e Xianding Mountain, which is more than 1,800 meters above sea level. The sea of clouds stretches for several kilometers, like a waterfall in the Tianhe River, and is turbulent. As the sun rises, the mountains, fields, and sea of clouds are woven into a spectacular landscape painting.
2. The wonder of the sea of clouds in Qiyunxian in eastern Guangxi: Qiyunxian is more than 2,000 meters above sea level and is one of the three highest mountains in Hunan. The clouds in Qiyunxian are like turbulent sea waves and ever-changing. Sometimes there are "turbulent waves" that cannot be stopped, sometimes "the wind is calm" and the fog disperses and the clouds hide, sometimes there are thick clouds and dense fog covering the sky and the ground, and sometimes the white clouds are as light as shark rays. When the morning and evening are clear, the sea of clouds reflects golden light, and the scenery takes on a completely new look. The clouds and mist rising out of the sky are like mountains and seas, changing endlessly, like a landscape painting drawn from the sky. Being in the sea of clouds makes people feel like they have entered a fairyland that deepens the legend.
Why are there so many wonders and beautiful sights in the Sea of Clouds in East Guangxi?
As we all know, any place where you can often see the wonders of clouds, mountains and foggy seas must have many mountains, high mountains, and just the right temperature and air humidity. Guidong is mountainous, and the average altitude of Guidong County is close to 900 meters, there are 471 mountains in the county with an altitude of over 1,500 meters. It is the county with the highest average altitude in Hunan Province and the place with the highest negative oxygen ion content in the air in the country. It is known as Little Tibet in southern China. The reason why many mountain peaks in the world are called fairyland on earth is because it is easy to see clouds, mountains, fog and seas, the reappearance of Buddha's light and many other wonders.
Hundreds of peaks in eastern Guangxi are named after immortals, such as Qiyunxian, Qing'exian, Shiniuxian, Baihexian, Niushixian, Gaolongxian, Sanfengxian, Chishuixian, Golden Goosexian, Hundreds of high mountains such as Huilongxian and Xiangluxian are named after immortals. The reason why there are so many immortal mountains is because there are too many wonders in the sea of clouds. Almost every peak called an immortal mountain will appear in the sea of clouds and mist every morning, covering the entire eastern Guangxi. It is decorated like Penglai Wonderland, which makes people feel like they are entering a dream world.
When the sea of clouds rises to a certain height, hundreds of mountains near and far appear and disappear in the sea of clouds, like countless islands in the sea, appearing and disappearing on the "waves". Standing on the top of the fairy mountains in eastern Guangxi, when watching the flying clouds spread and spread, the clouds and mist often show the strange appearance of walking on the clouds; the mountains in eastern Guangxi seem to be inlaid in the vast sea, with various lifelike animals and plants The shape moves towards the steep peaks. It turns out that the fairy mountain is the top of the mountain exposed on the sea of clouds. Only when the height and shade of the erratic sea of clouds are just right can such a wonderful scene be produced. For tourists who come to Guidong to view the sea of clouds, this is a wonderful and beautiful lucky encounter. When the Xiahai appears, the sky shines with dazzling golden light, and the mountains are covered with colorful brocade, dazzling and ever-changing. The dynamic beauty shown by the sea of clouds greatly enriches the expression and spirit of the landscape. The strange peaks and rocks in the Fairy Mountains of Guidong appear confusing only when they are set off by the erratic clouds and mists. The weirder the rocks and the weirder the peaks, adding to their alluring artistic charm.
The hundreds of fairy mountains in the east of Guangxi appear and disappear in the sea of clouds, seeming real and illusory, making people feel a kind of ethereal fairyland-like beauty. The scenery in the sea of clouds is often looming, blurry, and insubstantial, making the viewer uncertain, thus creating a sense of depth, mystery, and mystery, giving people a hazy beauty. The real scene of the peak rocks and the virtual scene of the sea of clouds perfectly match each other. The scene of a blur of smoke and water is poetic, painterly, and implicit in beauty. It leaves room for imagination and can arouse visitors' infinite meditation and reverie. The smoke and clouds are floating, the mountain peaks seem to be moving, and the ever-changing sea of clouds is bound to cause variability in the beauty of the scenery.
The moving clouds show various forms of movement along with the mountain shape, and the mountain shape inevitably moves with the moving clouds. They are both opposite and unified. Movement comes from stillness, and stillness comes from movement. They are inseparable. This interlaced transformation of movement and stillness is one of the manifestations of the advanced form of formal beauty law in aesthetics - diversity and unity, and it is also one of the sources of our sense of beauty. Therefore, when we travel, we should learn to grasp the beauty of cloud scenery from the contrast of movement and stillness, the combination of reality and reality, change and unity.
The beauty of Guidong is overwhelming:
Guidong needs to wear short sleeves or even long sleeves in the summer morning. Guidong has four distinct seasons, warm in winter and cool in summer. It is a place only three feet away from the sky. Third, the gods also come to earth - the seven fairies come to escape the heat, the eight fairies come to play chess, and you have to cover yourself with quilts when sleeping in June. No one wants air conditioning. The average summer temperature is 6-8°C lower than Changsha, making it a veritable "natural oxygen bar" , natural air conditioning" and a well-known "health paradise and health resort". It is also the hometown of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, a summer resort for gods, and a paradise for lovers. It has the beautiful business cards of "the county with the highest negative oxygen ion content in the country" and "the best eco-tourism demonstration county in China".
Guidong is also a place where gods long to live. It is a mysterious secluded place. Zhang Sanfeng, the founder of Wudang Sect, once lived in seclusion here. Guidong itself can be regarded as "reclusive" and has even lived in seclusion for too long. Even people who yearn for seclusion almost don't know that Guidong is the most suitable place for reclusive people to live in seclusion. Why is this said? Everyone knows that Chenzhou has been known as the "Land of Nine Immortals and Two Buddhas" since ancient times. It is a blessed place for the development of Taoist and Buddhist culture. The stories of Su Xian, Wang Xian and Cheng Xian attaining Taoism are widely spread among the people. Su Dan, who was well versed in medicine and knew hundreds of medicines, boiled orange leaves in well water to cure the plague, and ascended to heaven astride a crane, leaving the "Orange Well Spring Fragrance" story spread all over the world, becoming a symbol of ancient Chinese medical history and the medical community.
Chenzhou was called Guiyang County in ancient times. During the Three Kingdoms period, there was a "Biography of the Immortals of Guiyang", in which there is a story about a man named "Cheng Wuding" who became an immortal. It was he who revealed the date of the meeting of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. The famous scenic spot Suxianling in the city is known as the 18th blessed place in the world because of its wonderful myths and legends. In Guidong, the territory of Chenzhou, there are Qiyunxian, Qing'exian, Shiniuxian, Baihexian, Niushixian, Gaolongxian, San Hundreds of high mountains, including Fengxian, Chishuixian, Golden Goose Fairy, Huilongxian, and Xiangluxian, are named after immortals; the legendary place of the Cowherd and Weaver Girl during the Chinese Valentine's Day - Guidong Xianyuan Bridge, Qiaotou Shenxiandong Village, and the fairy farming fields in Sidu Natural villages, cultural landscapes, etc. are all named after immortal characters; Shou Fo, a famous Taoist monk in Chenzhou during the Tang Dynasty, left his footprints in almost the entire Chenzhou when he was preaching in Chenzhou. It is a geomantic treasure land that Shou Fo called: "Wutai Mountain is in the north and Santai Mountain is in the south." He sighed that he had stayed in a fairyland for many months and refused to leave. It can be called a city in the Chinese fairyland, but it is actually a fairyland on earth and a paradise of seclusion.
