Shuanglongsong is located in the Beihai scenic area of Huangshan Mountain in Anhui Province. It was born opposite the echo wall of xihaimen. Therefore, the pine was divided into two trunks more than 2 meters above the ground. It was born across the sky and slanted up into the sky. It was like two water dragons, so it was named shuanglongsong. After 1977, it withered and died after lightning strike, and now the trunk still exists. It is recorded in the poem "picking mulberry seeds and mourning double dragon pines": "it is difficult for a group of pines to be more beautiful than a group of pines. In the past, they were in pairs, but it is difficult to be in pairs again. Thunder takes away youth, bone is still fragrant. The vast sea, boundless clouds, like a dragon, do not see the dragon. I'll break my heart if there's a remnant left. "

morphological character

The age of Shuanglong pine has reached more than 800 years, with a height of 25 meters, a crown of 60 square meters and a diameter at breast height of 120 cm. In the early morning, standing on the side of the tree, you can see the rising red sun on the eastern horizon, which is just inlaid between the tree trunks. It's a vivid picture of two dragons playing with pearls.

historical background

Crystal ridge ancient road

On the side of Lingshan is the longest, highest and deepest granite grade ancient road. The whole journey of the ancient road is 30 Li, with the highest altitude of 948 meters. In the 15th year of Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty (1536 AD), Hu Shilian of shenlu village, gaonanfeng, invested in the construction of shuiri stone ladder. In the 44th year of Jiajing (1565 A.D.), when Nantang Laodao invited the county governor sun, he raised money to roll the stone on the top of the ridge as a pavilion, which is called "eternal Pavilion", also known as crystal cave. The following year, residents of Qingshui Wudu and gaonanfeng 16du donated a lot of money to pave all the roads with stone steps. In 1578, Wang Shengsi, Zhu Boying, Wang Shifu and others donated money to widen the crystal ladder and pave the stone steps. On the stone wall, the stone carvings of the sixth year of Wanli still exist. The ancient crystal ridge road connects the north and south of Lingshan mountain. Food, mountain goods, local paper and other goods all come and go through this road. Therefore, the villagers come and go in an endless stream, and the "pestle" that helps to carry the burden is heard. Since 1992, Panshan highway has been built at both ends of the ancient road, and the hiking stone road has been shortened to 15 Li.
