Huangshi Village
Hello,my friends.Welcome to Zhangjiajie.I\'m very happy to go with you to the largest view platform of zhangjiajie-----Huangshi Village.People always say: \"if you don’t visit Huangshi Village,It is a waste of your tour of zjj \"so we can see its importance in the scenic area of zjj.A famous poem once had made this comments of huangshi village ： \"For a better view of a further distance, ascend one more level.\"
Now, please follow me to climb up the secluded mountain pathway and enjoy the fantastic scenary on the both sides .These pathways are narrow and zigzag.In the ancient times,there was only one back pathway to Huangshi village.The pathway we are traveling on was built by the people over ten years ago.
Please listen！The sounds of singing are coming from the front .These are the melodious songs of tujia folk .The place we can see in the front is the terrace for requesting songs of tujia girls.Some beautiful and dreed-up tujia girls are singing and dancing to greet every guest.Will Their sweet songs make you wonder the local customs?And will their hospitality and kindne let you feel happy and loosing than ever ?At this time,Have you senced the true meaning of this sentence” the mountains and the rivers are beautiful,but the people of zjj are even more beautiful”?
Please look at the mountain on the right side .There is a round pillar about 20 metres high,with a stone case on it.The case is about 3 meters long ,1.5 meters wide and a stone slab covers half of it,it is surrounded by 5 green pine trees .There is a tale about the scenic spot .Zhang Liang had ever hidden 3 heavenly books in the case.Which were given by his master named Huangshi Taoist.After the war ended, so zhangliang took out the books and put them on another place.But he forgot to shut off the case .That’s why we can see a case half opened .Because the case had ever hidden the heavenly books, it is called” Treasure Case of Heavenly Books”.
Please look forward.There is a narraw way between two mountains , I t\'s saying :“If one man guards the pa,ten thousand are unable to get through .”that is the Southern Gate to Heaven .
This way, please.look here ,follow my pointing ,you can see the Magic Sea-suppreing Needle.It is tall and erect, as if it were supporting the whole
mountain with its great power.Besides,it faces The Golden Whip Rock,forming amagnificent scene.
But what’s the single pillar spot? It’s rising high from the gound up to the
sky ,about 300 meters high.That’s the famous “Southern Pillar of Heaven” .it gets the
name for standing under the Southern Gate to Heaven .In fact, every single part of
wulingyuan scenic area has its unique beauty.The upper part of it is larger than the
below,it embodies the spirits of remaining stubborn and strong after experiencing
endle changes.It is the shadow of the quartzite sandstone peak forest landform
scenery,and it is also the festival medal and symbol of “zjj international forest
protection festival”
When talking about the quartizite sandstone peak forest landform,you may
wonder why the nature is so mysterious.According to scientific research,This area
used to be a part of the ocean 3 00 million years ago.About 100 million years ago ,
due to the impact of waves,the quartizite sandstone deposited about 500 metres thick
on the seabed.In the proce of geological movement, some part rose up and then
became the land .For the effect of water, some small sands were washed
away.besides,rocks collapsed under the action of gravity and were washed slowly by
rainfalls and steams.all these factors made the wulingyuan spot into a quartzite
sandstone peak forest landform scenery.
Now we have climbed up to the huangshi village succefully,let’s go to the Star
Gathering Stage.Standing here you may have the feeling that all the peaks are dwarfs
under your feet.Especially at night, you will feel extremely near the stars,as if you
could pick them down with your hands.
This man-made pavilion in front of you is called Six Wonders Pavilion .the\"six
wonders\" refer to special mountains, springs, rocks, clouds, plants and animals.
This is the end of today’s sightseeing .Welcome to Huangshi Village again.Thank
you.
