Rediscover Lost Childhood Memories of Ancient China Under the Starry Sky of Yandi Tribe

I. Echoes from the River of History 1. Yandi's Hometown, Origin of Agriculture At the foot of Lieshan Mountain, Yandi Shennong, an ancestor of Chinese civilization, tasted hundreds of herbs and planted five grains, pioneering agricultural civilization. Within the Yandi Hometown scenic area, Shennong Cave, Lieshan Lake, and ancient-style building complexes in heavy snowfall form a panorama of civilization spanning five thousand years. *The wisdom of "plowing for food, weaving for clothing" continues in villages where cooking smoke still curls upward.* 2. Hometown of Chime Bells, Peak of Ritual Music The unearthing of Marquis Yi of Zeng's bronze chime bells made Suizhou a city that rewrote world music history. The 65 bronze bells span seven musical scales, and in the music and dance performances at Suizhou Museum, the elegant court music from 2,400 years ago still moves hearts. "The sound of bronze and jade resonates between heaven and earth" - this is a dialogue between bronze and time. II. Natural and Cultural Wonders 1. Dahong Mountain: The First Peak in Northern Chu The main peak, Baozhu Peak, stands at 1,055 meters. When the sunrise breaks through the sea of clouds, golden light pours down like a magnificent poetic verse of "vast mountains and rivers." The White Dragon Pool hangs on steep cliffs, Xiaoquan Cave stays warm in winter and cool in summer, and legends that inspired "Journey to the West" add mythical colors to the landscape. 2. Thousand-Year Ginkgo Valley: A Golden Fairy Tale World In late autumn, 5 million ginkgo trees in Luoyang Town turn golden, with 308 thousand-year-old trees supporting a golden sky. Ancient trees stand beside farmhouses, lake reflections mirror mountain colors, and walking among them feels like stepping into a pastoral dream of "poetic painting homes." 3. Pipa Lake: Central China's Jade Pool Volcanic remains reflect in clear waters, with 9,000 acres of water area like jade inlaid among mountains. Lakeside guesthouses like "Water Without Sound" and "Mountain Village" blend into nature with rammed earth walls and black-gray tiles, offering window views of "autumn waters merging with the sky" landscapes. III. Red Imprints and Ecological Secrets 1. Tianwang Fortress: Central China's Premier Military Stronghold Atop the dangerous peaks of Tongbai Mountain, the Silver Hall and beacon towers tell of ancient military wisdom, while the footprints of generals like Li Xiannian and He Long add revolutionary legends. Yue'er Cliff Waterfall cascades down, and Red Rock Cliff's strange peaks stand tall, where history and nature jointly create magnificence. 2. Shennong Tribe: Living Fossil of Agricultural Civilization The 4,000-year-old sun god image and three-legged golden crow rock paintings confirm the origin of Yandi culture. The Blackmountain Temple guesthouse cluster and Yanhuang Valley Geopark integrate mythology into the mountain and water experience. 3. Baopu Valley: Ecological Secret Where North Meets South At the source of the Huai River, negative ions reach 46,800 per cubic centimeter. The Six-Tier Waterfall is elegant, and Xinyi Fortress walls are weathered. Snow-covered in winter, the mountain springs rich in strontium create a natural oxygen bar for refreshing mind and lungs. IV. Poetic Living Through Four Seasons - Spring: Peach blossoms blaze in Shangshi, Guangshui's Peach Blossom Land is misty, and farming festivals awaken rural vitality. - Summer: Journey to the West rafting splashes coolness, Women's Kingdom hot springs steam like immortals. - Fall: Ginkgo Valley spreads golden ground, Moonlight Sea offers fishing and camping, where stars and islands intoxicate together. - Winter: Snow falls on ancient eaves in Yandi's Hometown, hot springs steam rises, and Guaizi Rice warms stomach and heart. V. Memories of Suizhou on the Tip of Your Tongue - Suizhou's Four Treasures: Shiitake mushrooms condense wisdom, Bubble Green captures Tibetan rhythms, Guaizi Rice stores strength, and black garlic ferments romance. - Rural Flavors: Enjoy coffee under wintergreen trees, experience wild luxury in Korean-style mountain houses where countryside meets fashion. Suizhou is an ancient melody awakened by bronze chime bells, a golden poem written by falling ginkgo leaves, and an ecological scroll painted by volcanic clear waters. Come here to touch the roots of Chinese civilization, listen to the whispers of mountains, waters, and history, and let your body and mind dwell in a secret realm where "ancient, beautiful, elegant, red, and interesting" intertwine. Vast mountains and rivers, human fireworks, all in the enchanting Suizhou.
