[2025 Wenzhou Attraction] Travel Guide for Xianyan (Updated May)

Longxu Pool is a waterfall pool in the Xianyan Scenic Area of Wenzhou. It is named after the long white beard of an old man. Longxu Pool is the highest waterfall pool among the "Five Pools" in the Xianyan Scenic Area, and its spectacular scenery is self-evident. Standing at Longxu Pool, you can feel the overwhelming momentum of the pool. Longxu Pool has a unique personality in the alternation of day and night. In the early morning, the sun rises in the east, and the "Danxia reflects the wall and the brocade of Shu is spread out"; at night, the bright moon is in the sky, and the "bright moon shines on the stream and the golden pills". In midsummer, the sun is scorching, but here it is "cold in June"; in the middle of winter, the ice is covered with rocks, and Longxu Pool is like a "white dragon hanging upside down in the blue sky" and "a thousand feet of ice hanging down".

Xianyan Scenic Area is located in Xianyan Sub-district, Ouhai District, at the western foot of Mount Daluo, and is known for its beauty as 'the elegance of five ponds and two wells, the wonder of nine lions and one elephant', being one of the first batch of provincial-level scenic spots in Zhejiang. In the first year of the Jingping era (423 AD), Xie Lingyun, the progenitor of landscape poetry, set foot in wooden clogs 'to seek the traces of the Three Emperors' Wells at Xianyan by boat', which made the beauty of Xianyan widely known. From the verdant Parent-Child Plaza to the poetic Qu Shui Liu Shang, from the meticulously polished landscape pieces to the newly renovated original buildings... After this year's upgrade and transformation, Xianyan Scenic Area has formed new 'Ten Views' including Luoshan Layered Greenery, Cliffside Ancient Queries, Leitan Clear Sounds, Ancient Emperor's Traces, and Huxi Wisdom Light. 'When I visited Xianyan for the second time, I was amazed at the green of Meiyu Pond.' — This is the opening of Zhu Ziqing's 'Green'. This year also marks the 100th anniversary of the publication of this famous essay. One of the 'Five Ponds' formed by the waterfall at Xianyan — Meiyu Pond is also famous far and wide because of 'Green'. What charm does Meiyu Pond, referred to as 'daughter's green' by Mr. Zhu Ziqing, possess? Standing by the pond, with water splashing chaotically, it feels like bunches of white plum blossoms are hitting your face, 'falling like a drizzle', making one feel as if they have stepped into a fine rainy day in Huangmei, hence the name Meiyu Pond. The shape of the pond is like 'a very large lotus leaf spread out', and the pond water is 'like a piece of warm and moist jade'.

In addition to Meiyutan, Xianyan also has Lei Xiang and Long Xu Er Tan. Starting from Meiyutan, the stage is also built with a triangular "self-clearing pavilion". The name of the pavilion was written by the famous calligrapher Xie Yun. The word looks far and wide, but it looks young and childlike. Can not help but sigh, no loss is a contemporary book writer. There is a tablet inscription on "Green" in the pavilion. Going up, it is Meiyu Pavilion. The Meiyu Pavilion, which is flying in the corner, is exquisite and small. continues upwards, about a mile away, the woods are quieter, and there is no trace of Lei Xiangtan. Sitting at the small pavilion for a while, and moving on, I finally saw a small stream running through the jungle not far away, presumably Lei Xiangtan was nearby. Soon, I heard the sound of the waterfall flowing. Lei Xiang Tan is hidden above the Meiyutan, three layers of shackles, along the mountain road next to the canyon, when you bend up and down, about half a mile, see the sign: from here, see Lei Xiang Waterfall . There are steps, like a staircase, going down and down, about a hundred levels, to the riverbank between the canyons. It is all wet pebbles, with a clear stream in the middle, only two feet wide, only shallow feet. Along the stream, but a few tens of meters, the rocks on both sides are closed to the middle and gradually become a huge cave. The bottom of the hole is flat with water and gravel. A line of sky can be seen at the top right of the hole. On the upper end of a building of more than a dozen floors, you can see the cement bridge that was previously used. The waterfall is just leaking from here.

Through the Tongxuan Cave, take a few steps, and then cross the Xiaoxigou, a leafy alcoholic "Juhong" instantly smeared in the eyes - she is the Meiyutan who has been fascinated by countless literati. Standing on the edge of the pool, looking up at the Meiyu Waterfall, the silver-like waterfalls hit the abrupt rock wall and the little Mercury is just like the blossoming white plums. It occasionally falls to the face, like the frivolity of Mayday. Qing Huan Shen Huan is pleased to praise the "four-time plum rain" - no matter what season you are, sitting on the edge of the Meiyutan, you will feel the imaginative mood of the Meiyu season. Zhu Ziqing has long called it "daughter green". And I, however, can no longer find more precise words to modify the beauty of Meiyutan green. Sitting in the pavilion suspended in the air, Meiyutan is at the foot, wrapped in green. Seeing the beautiful scenery in front of me, I couldnt help but scream a few times, but I was afraid that I would disturb the quiet green of the pool, but only quietly appreciate it. Green is floating in front of my eyes, my heart is also a lot easier, and the exhaustion in the journey is also forgotten!

Speaking of Mr. Zhu Ziqing, perhaps the first thing you think of is the Back, which is so popular, but in fact, he has traveled to cities of all sizes, and left many classic essays. About ten years ago, when I read "Green," I first knew the name Xianyan. At the beginning of the article, I said, "When I went to Xianyan for the second time, I was amazed at the green of Meiyutan!" Although this essay is very familiar, the details of Xianyan and the beauty of Meiyutan are still blurred in my mind. Clear. But today, I finally had the privilege of walking into the land of his "Green" - Xianyan. Xianyan Scenic Area is located in Ruian City, southeast of Zhejiang Province, more than 20 kilometers north of Wenzhou City. It takes about one and a half hours to get a long-distance bus from Wenzhou. The bus took us to the gate of the scenic spot under the Xianyan Mountain. On the right side of the entrance is a Shengshou Temple, also called Xianyan Temple, which reads The World No. 26 "Fo Di", I do not know what serial number. Since I am eager to find a pool of green and different beliefs, I have not entered the temple, but I have been going all the way up the width of the stone at the foot of the mountain, about halfway through the road. Looking at a silver ribbon floating in the distance between the waist of Qingshan Giant Rock, it is a graceful Meiyu Waterfall.

"When I went to Xianyan for the second time, I was shocked by the green of Meiyutan. Meiyutan is a waterfall pool. There are three waterfalls in Xian Waterfall, and the Meiyu Waterfall is the lowest. When you walk to the mountainside, you will hear the sound of flowers and flowers; At the beginning, it was set in the wet black side of the black, and the white and shiny water appeared in front of the eyes." This is Zhu Ziqing's "Green", which is written by Xian Yan. Meiyutan. I want to come to this Xianyan is enough to be immortal, beautiful enough to make the literature everyone willing to give a text. "Green" is an article in Mr. Zhu Ziqing's early travel essay "The Trace of Wenzhou", which was made on February 8, 1924. "Green" has a popular population, and it has been vividly described so far. It vividly depicts the "singular" and "intoxicating" green of Meiyutan, attracting countless people to visit Meiyutan.

There are many mountains in Wenzhou, Zhejiang, and many mountains in the water. The scenic spots in Wenzhou are the most. The most famous nature is Yandang Mountain, but there are a lot of scenic spots in Wenzhou, not as famous as Yandang Mountain, but it is also worth spending some time to visit. About 20 kilometers south from Wenzhou City, at the junction of Wenzhou City and Rui'an, there is a Xianyan scenic spot. This is a scenic spot known for its waterfalls. It was the first to be obscured. Since Xie Lingyun, the originator of the landscape poetry, has come here, it is slowly becoming famous. Xianyan is very suitable for weekend hiking and fitness, and the traffic is also convenient. From the city, take bus 18, 39 to arrive. There are not many tourists in the scenic area, and slowly climb the mountain to see the most famous three waterfalls. Three waterfalls from top to bottom, or soft, or fierce, each with its own characteristics. At the bottom is called Meiyutan, because the water is deeper and the water is green. After Zhu Ziqing came to see Meiyutan, he also wrote a special essay called "Green", which called the green of Meiyutan as daughter green. There are several small pavilions in the mountain Zhu Ziqing, and there is also a Xie Lingyun. Along the steps up the mountain, the mountains here are all green, fresh and natural, the birds are constantly singing, and occasionally you will hear the Sanskrit from the Sanshou Temple. The water of xianyan is clear and green. In the words of Zhu Ziqing, the waves of the West Lake are too bright, and the Qinhuai River is too dark. Only Xianyan is just right.
