Jiudie Spring in Shicheng, where Liu Xiangong became an immortal

💡Jiudie Spring is located to the east of Shicheng County, which is part of the Bagua Brain Scenic Area. Shicheng is a small county under Ganzhou, located at the transportation hub of Fujian and Guangdong. ✎When you first enter the scenic area, it seems ordinary, thinking it's just a common hiking route along the stream. Unexpectedly, the scenery changes dramatically, which is probably only seen in fairy dramas. There are many large stones in the stream, and the clear mountain spring water flows over the stones. Isn't this the scene described by the poet as 'clear spring flowing over the stone'? ✎I couldn't help but take off my shoes, step barefoot into the stream, let the clear spring flow over my ankles, feel the original coolness, even with the help of artificial intelligence, it can't create this natural comfortable environment. I took a few deep breaths of fresh air, feeling all the negative ions, and suddenly felt refreshed. ✎This mountain is called Xiangong Ridge. It is said that at the end of the Qin Dynasty, there was a girl named Yao Ying in the Liu family who became an immortal after getting a strange fruit in the mountain, so it was named 'Liu Li', and later called Xiangong Ridge. At that time, many people living in Shicheng came from the north, fleeing to this place to avoid war, and Yao Ying's family was the same. After Yao Ying became an immortal, she often rode on auspicious clouds to play here and look at her hometown in the north. ✎Legend has it that the Bagua Brain on the top of the mountain used to be a rugged mountain, but it became a flat mountain meadow after being brushed by the Bagua skirt worn by the fairy. Moreover, it is said that the flower fairies on her skirt also sneaked down to play and left flower seeds. Therefore, every spring, large areas of rhododendrons bloom in the valley. The scenery at this time makes Wugong Mountain bow its head. ✎Going upstream, after nine spirals, the drop reaches a kilometer, and the spring is finally calm. This is a forest of acacia trees, expressing people's nostalgia for the fairy. ✎It is said that a fairy visited Bagua Brain, which attracted curious animals. They also wanted to see the beautiful face of the fairy and get a touch of fairy air. Jiudie Spring is named after these auspicious animals: Phoenix, Kirin, Tiger, Turtle, Silver Snake, Butterfly, Golden Toad, etc., plus the fairy. It seems to be missing one, it turns out to be Maitreya, he also came to join in the fun. However, Maitreya Spring only has spring water and does not form a waterfall. Therefore, it can only be named Jiudie Spring, not daring to call it Jiudie Waterfall. 📍Address: Xinping Village, Gaotian Town, Shicheng County, Ganzhou, Jiangxi 👍Recommendation: Hiking along the stream, beautiful legends, forest oxygen absorption 💰Cost: Ticket 25 yuan
