Introduction to scenic spots

Today, it still retains the old prosperous mark and simple style. The ancient streets of Ming and Qing Dynasties, 500 meters long along the river, are ancient and elegant, with continuous floors and row upon row. The ruts on the green stone pavement record the prosperity of the town in those years. The small rivers in the town are winding, and the Qingshi bridges across the two banks add to the town's water flavor. The inscriptions on the quays along the Yangtze River can be traced back to the time when "goods gathered in eight Fujian, Sichuan and Guangdong provinces, words mixed in two Zhejiang, Huaihe and Yang provinces, boats moored at night, lights shining around the shore". To the north of the ancient town is the famous Jiushi mountain, which is also called Longmen. The river at the foot of the mountain is unfathomable. It is said that it can reach the Dragon Palace directly from here, so it is called "the first pass of Longmen". Now the five characters "the first pass of Longmen" engraved on the cliff are still clearly visible. The Ming Dynasty "tianru Temple" at the foot of the first mountain of nine lions is a Buddhist temple in the Ming Dynasty. There is a natural pool beside the temple. It is written "tianru Temple" and it is said to be the handwriting of Kangxi.
