Shangshan

"Being good" is taken from the eighth chapter of Laozi's Tao Te Ching: "Being good is like water, and water is the good of all things, and it is the evil of everyone, so it is a minority matter. Living in a good place, kind-hearted, kind-hearted, good at words, good at politics, good at doing things, good at doing things. The husband didn't quarrel, so there was nothing special. " In other words, the best people in the world, like water, can inspire everything, but they will never compete with everything.

Sesame paste

The softest is taken from chapter 43 of Laozi. "The softest person in the world is the strongest person in the world." Laozi is talking about the philosophy of dripping water wears away stones. "The world is softer than water". Water looks weak, but no matter how hard it is, it will be penetrated by clicking a drop of water for a long time.

Jubeitan

"Modesty" takes the meaning of Laozi. Chapter 66: "Jianghai can be the king of all valleys, and under its kindness, it can be the king of all valleys." It means that rivers and seas can achieve their greatness because they are in low-lying places, and many rivers have gone there and become endless rivers and seas. Only when a saint has the virtue of modesty and not arguing with others can he win people's support.

Baoyi

"Embrace one" is taken from Chapter 10 of Laozi: "Embrace one with a spirit, but there is no spirit to live", Chapter 22: "The sage embraces one for the world" and Chapter 42: "Everything is negative and holds yang", which means that human essence and spirit should be integrated. If they cannot be unified, then life will be in danger.

Unfolded pool

From Zhuangzi's Inner Chapter. "Wu Qi Ji": "There is a road in front of the husband, which is called the husband." It means: Tao has never been divided, it is everywhere and can be seen everywhere; Speech is changeable because of its mutual differentiation.

Weishitan

Wei Shi is taken from Zhuangzi Neipian. "Wu Qiji": "There is a beginning and an end, a beginning and an end, and a husband has not started." This sentence is a relationship between Zhuangzi's explanation of the logic of the development of the universe. Meaning: The universe has a beginning, a beginning that never begins, a beginning that never begins. What people see is far from enough, and there is a higher root, that is, the "Tao" of Taoism.

generous

"Generosity" means "generosity without horns" in Chapter 41 of Laozi. It means "big" has no dead ends, just like the universe, it can't find its own edge. Laozi said: "Generosity has no dead ends, great achievements are made late, great achievements are made late, elephants are invisible, and roads are hidden."

Wuyutan

"No dead ends" is also taken from Chapter 41 of Laozi: "Generosity has no dead ends". It means "big" has no dead ends, just like the universe, it can't find its own edge. Laozi said: "Generosity has no dead ends, great achievements are made late, great achievements are made late, elephants are invisible, and roads are hidden."

Wuji lake

"Promise" is taken from Chapter 28 of Laozi "Return to Promise". Laozi thinks that water is the closest to Taoism, and reminds people to learn water to practice Buddhism, so that they can return to the integration with Taoism, return to the state of simplicity and innocence, and adhere to the mean. Laozi's "keeping the middle" means "promise".

Wuqi

"Wuqi" is taken from Zhuangzi's Inner Chapter: On Wuqi. It means: everything has its length, so there is no need to argue about right or wrong. As long as everything is treated equally and placed in the same position, this is a moral expression.

Ziqitan

"Self-invited" comes from Zhuangzi's Inner Chapter. On everything. " "The husband boasted about all kinds of differences and let himself come uninvited. "It means that the wind blows to different holes and has different sounds, and different sounds are completely taken from the holes themselves. The wind has no different sound. The idiom "self-pity" or "self-blame" is similar to "self-pity" here.

Juhuatan

The word "modernization" is taken from "keeping pace with the times and not wanting to be left behind" in Zhuangzi Waipian Sam. "Keeping pace with the times" means keeping pace with the times. The practical significance is that people should correctly understand the development law of things, keep pace with the times, practice and survive in accordance with the laws of objective things, and analyze specific things in detail, so as not to make subjective assumptions, violate the objective laws of things and invite consequences.

Zhongxutan

"Zhong Xu" is taken from "Zhuangzi Neipian". Master of health care: "those who have a festival have a room, and those who have a blade have no original." If there is no originality, there is room for recovery. " "Deficiency in the middle" refers to deficiency in the middle, which is quoted in Treating Bovine Impetigo. Here is to tell people to learn to hone themselves and find a space where they can play their advantages like a blade. Or to be able to do it as easily as an expert and follow the trend.

Health maintenance

"Keeping in good health" originated from Zhuangzi Neipian. "My life is limited, but my knowledge is limited. With restrictions, it is almost over. " It means that a person's life is limited, but his knowledge and ability are infinite. This requires a limited life to pursue unlimited knowledge and ability. Learning to use environment, tools and laws to master knowledge and skills is one of the important principles of health preservation. He also put forward the way of keeping in good health, that is, "keeping pace with the times", not being happy with things or sad for oneself, so as to live a long life.

Fried beach

"Fried" is taken from "Zhuangzi Neipian". "Master of Health" has the same meaning as "Zhong Xu". Tell people to learn to hone themselves, so that they can find a space to play their strengths like a blade. It is intended to remind everyone to realize the secret of governing the country by doing nothing.

Deyutan

"Fishing for Fish" comes from Zhuangzi's Essays. Foreign things ":"the mirror is like a fish, but the fish forgets it; The hoof is the hoof in the rabbit. He got the rabbit but forgot the hoof. The speaker cares so much that he forgets his words proudly. " Taoism believes that there is nothing worth adhering to. When the problem is solved, the process is completed and the mission of the tool is completed. Don't immerse yourself in it, which is not conducive to health.

Sit down and forget.

The word "sit and forget" comes from Zhuangzi Neipian. Master: "Broken limbs, silent and clever, knowing from the shape, are no different from Datong. This is called sitting and forgetting. " Through the explanation of "sitting and forgetting", Zhuangzi expressed the same way. It means: abandon physical desires, stop observing and hearing the world, give up self and return to the inner world.

Wujitan

"No Self" is taken from Zhuangzi's Inner Chapter. Wandering: "For a person who has no self, the man of God is useless, and the saint is nameless." It means: the homogeneous state is the state of enlightenment, and the state of enlightenment is the state of no self.

Bu zhitan

"Non-stagnation" originated from the Taoist thinkers' explanation of the first chapter of Laozi: mysterious and mysterious. Among them, Cheng, a Taoist thinker in the Tang Dynasty, explained "the same as metaphysics" in Laozi: "The profound meaning of metaphysics is the name of non-stagnation." There is a saying: "People who have desires will only stay on what they have, while those who have no desires will stay on a metaphysical statement that condemns them for no reason." This contains rich, subtle and dialectical philosophy of life.

be leisurely and carefree

"Free and unfettered" comes from Zhuangzi Neipian. Happy Travel: "Fu Liezi walked against the wind, but it was also good. After ten days, there were five days. The blessed don't count. Although this eliminates travel, those who still have something to do are also "traveling with the wind, light and elegant, but after all, they rely on it." Taoism pays attention to conforming to the nature of heaven and earth, using the qi of heaven and earth to roam in the infinite universe, which is really a leisurely tour.

Canxiatan

Dining Xia expresses Li Bai's Message to Mountain Man Meng: "I once had a meal at Laoshan Mountain in the East China Sea, and my breakfast was as big as a melon." Eating chardonnay here refers to the Taoist method of keeping in good health, but it means eating gas, which is a way of practicing Buddhism.

Yinlutan

Drink Dew is taken from Zhuangzi Neipian. Travel in the Clouds: "The mountain that is alluded to is inhabited by gods. If the skin is frozen with snow, the Virgin does not eat grains, but drinks dew for the wind." Taoism believes that dew is the purification of the sun and the moon. If it is taken for a long time, it can be dispersed into the air and combined with clouds and gases to become immortals.

Anshi

"An Qi" comes from Li Bai's "Send a message to Mongolia": ... Seeing an An's contribution, eating as big as a melon early. Peacetime means a native of nirvana in fire in peacetime. It is said that Tao became an immortal very early. He once talked with Qin Shihuang in Laoshan, which means that the Taoist culture in Laoshan has a long history.

Chertin

"Wash your ears" means "Biography of Gaoyou": "Yao wants to call me the Lord of Kyushu, and I hate his voice, so I wash my ears". At that time, Yao wanted to be the chief of Kyushu, heard his voice and ran to the pool to listen, which meant this. Listen attentively and become a representative of noble conduct.

Qingxintan

"The purity of the soul" comes from Zhuangzi Zaiyi: When the emperor asked Guang how to keep healthy for a long time, Guang said: "The essence of the Supreme Tao is subtle. To the extreme, faint and silent. Inner peace must be clear, and you can live forever without hardship and shaking your essence. " Taoism believes that silence is the foundation of the world, otherwise it can't survive well, but it doesn't make people want nothing, but needs to maintain a state of mind.

Xu you

Xu You is from Zhuangzi's Essays. "Let the King": "Yao is in the world and not subject to it." Xu You has been mentioned many times in Zhuangzi's works. He is a noble man. Yao tried to compromise with the world, but refused to accept it. He was hidden in Lushan Mountain for farming. Xu You has become synonymous with the Taoist thought of "governing by doing nothing".

The previous paragraph lacked an introduction to Deyitan. I helped you find an introduction to Qingdao News Network, which is quite comprehensive from the perspective of tourism.

"Nine Rivers and Eighteen Troughs" Landscape

From Qingdao News Network

It is reported that "Nine Waters and Eighteen Lakes" is the northern nine waters rebuilt on the basis of the original nine waters. Therefore, when tourists visit the beautiful scenery of "Nine Rivers and Eighteen Lakes" in the mountains, they still have to take the original tourist route of visiting nine rivers in the north, and the tourism trend in the mountains has not changed much. As for whether the ticket price for visiting Beijiushui has changed after the completion of the "Nine Waters and Eighteen Troughs", the relevant person in charge of the Laoshan Scenic Area Management Committee said that the ticket price will remain unchanged for the time being.

Nine waters and eighteen beaches show a new look. Nine waters are endless all year round.

Every waterscape is full of cultural temperament.

According to the person in charge of Laoshan Scenic Area Management Committee, the purpose of building "Jiushui Eighteen Tanks" is to conserve water, make Jiushui Canyon full of water all year round, and make Jiushui more cultured.

It is understood that because the shady side of Laoshan Mountain is mostly exposed rock, the water storage capacity of the mountain is poor. Therefore, the Beijiushui Scenic Area in previous years is generally only worth seeing for half a year. When water is scarce in late winter and early spring, as the most famous landscape in the scenic spot, the famous Yin Chao Waterfall is also lifeless, and water is often cut off. Most tourists come here to see the water. Without water, they will naturally return disappointed.

Laoshan Scenic Area Management Committee entrusts a professional design company to design the waterscape project. A famous domestic painter (I noticed Fan Ceng) visited Laoshan Mountain many times, and named and explained Jiushui and Shibatan respectively, which made each different pool have different meanings and cultural characteristics.

It is understood that "nine waters and eighteen ponds" refers to the valley between the inner water and the inner nine waters, excluding the outer nine waters. The "Eighteen Tanks" were also built in this range. After the completion of the "Nine Waters and Eighteen Pools", even in the dry season, visitors can witness the style of tidal waterfalls and different parts of the inner nine waters.

Climbing up the steps along different mountain roads, there are green ponds and constant gurgling sound everywhere, which is refreshing. This is the famous new face of Jiushui in the north of Laoshan Mountain-"Jiushui Eighteen Tanks". After five months, 800 craftsmen were employed before and after, and the investment exceeded 654.38 million yuan. The "Nine Waters and Eighteen Tanks" project in Laoshan was fully completed a few days ago, and it was officially unveiled yesterday, showing its brand-new and unique style to Chinese and foreign tourists.

Laoshan North Jiushui is already very famous, why should it be improved into a "nine waters and eighteen lakes" landscape? Why was the Nine Waters and Eighteen Pools built and why did it get its name today? What are the characteristics of the "Eighteen Tanks"? Yesterday, the reporter took advantage of the sunny day to go into the mountain to find out and saw its wonderful beauty of "different distances and heights".

There is a "big reservoir" at the source.

Yesterday morning, the reporter and his party had just passed through Neiba Water when they heard a burst of "rushing" water sound from the back hill. Over this mountain, a rare sight appears before us: there is a huge pool at the top of Yin Chao Waterfall, just like a "big reservoir". Three stacks of wide water flowed down from the "reservoir" and jumped into the deep pool under the waterfall, splashing a large amount of water, which made people feel cold and urgent. According to experts from Laoshan Scenic Area Management Committee, this is the source water of "Nine Waters and Eighteen Tanks", which comes from Tianyi Spring in Laoshan. In this transformation, the natural pool at the top of the waterfall is several times larger than the original one, greatly increasing the daily storage capacity, so that the water from the inner nine water to the inner one water can gurgle all day.

Experts say that last autumn, they treated the wall and bottom of the pool at the top of Yin Chao Waterfall to prevent seepage, which made the water abundant all year round. With it, the water volume of Yin Chao Waterfall has tripled compared with the dry season in previous years, and it is full of vitality. In this way, in dry spring and winter, Jiushui can also ensure enough water, and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Jiushui Yi Ming all year round without relying on God's face.

"Eighteen pools" are impervious to water.

According to what principle, the eighteen pools that have been built at present are set in different sections from Neiyishui to Neijiushui? Why do they have more water now than before? According to experts from Laoshan Scenic Area Management Committee, most of these pools are set according to the trend and topography of Jiushui natural valley, with different sizes and depths. When they are set, they also fully consider their coordination with the surrounding natural environment and scenic spots, and consider the convenience of tourists to visit, so that they are all included in the sight of tourists.

According to the expert, during the construction process, these pools basically retained the original landforms and features, and only some parts were treated, such as dredging and cleaning up debris. In order to ensure that there is enough water left at the bottom of the pond, construction workers have adopted special techniques to prevent the bottom of the pond from leaking, so that precious spring water and rainfall flowing down from the mountain can be completely left behind, so that no matter what the precipitation is, Beijiushui can always ensure a certain amount of water storage all year round. It is understood that during the construction process, construction workers also used the terrain conditions and the orientation of rocks to create a water level in the pool. Under the clear sky, the sunlight shines on the bottom of the pool through the water surface. Visitors can see different levels of colors such as light yellow, green yellow, light blue, light green and thick green, which makes people feel that the water landscape is diverse and wonderful.

It is understood that after the completion of the "Eighteen Lakes", the storage capacity of Jiushui has greatly increased compared with the past. During the tour, tourists can see the exquisite water features and hear the crisp sound of water flowing everywhere.

Tantan has a strange name. Tantan has beautiful scenery.

Wonderful Reading of Eighteen Tanks

Water flows in the mountains and people travel in the world of painting. Let's take a look at the beautiful "eighteen tanks" one by one along the journey from mountain to mountain!

Sesame paste

Zhirou Lake is located near Neiyi Water and has a beautiful environment. It is as flat as a mirror, as green as jade, as green as clouds in the sky and as green as trees. It is particularly soft when reflected in water, so it is also called "Bitan Yin Ying".

Three crude but unsealed pools

Gubei Beach, Kaifan Beach and Weishi Beach are all within the scope of Neier Water.

The noodles of Gubei Tantan are not big, but they are exquisite. It is interesting that the water surface is naturally divided into pieces of water by gravel. Here, you can not only enjoy the clarity of the pool water, but also enjoy the scenery of the "General Valley" (commonly known as the "plush chair") on the top of Nanshan.

Kaifeng Pool and Weishi Pool are located opposite the ticket office of Neiershui. The two pools are not far apart, and the pool surface and surrounding stones are not large, but they are small and exquisite. After playing here, you can also go to the nearby "Double Stone House" village to explore the village's allusions and see Yu Dafu's poems such as "Sure enough, the scenery is like Jiangnan" carved on the nearby rocks.

Wu Yu Tan and Wuji Tan.

As soon as he approached Neisanshui, the reporter was deeply impressed by the beautiful scenery in front of him: under a small wooden bridge, two pools with different heights were connected, with "Wuji Pool" on the top and "Wuji Pool" on the bottom. There are dozens of boulders between the two pools, and the water in the crevices is fast-flowing. If fierce wave surges, you can hear the underwater sound dozens of meters away. Neither pool is deep, but the water in it is very cold. When I grabbed an entrance, I felt refreshed and the fatigue of climbing disappeared instantly.

Here, in addition to enjoying the scenery of the pool, you can also enjoy the surrounding stone house "Russian Hotel" and the strange mountain peak "Golden Tortoise Looking at the Moon".

Self-help swimming pool and all-around swimming pool

These two ponds are located in four waters, one large and one small, one high and one low. The purple gas beach is located in the lower part, with a large area and an irregular circle with a radius of about eight meters and a water depth of about one meter. Juhua Lake is very high, with an irregular square, only four meters square. Seen from the side of the lake, the water depth is about three meters or more. The snow on the west side of the pool wall does not melt, especially there is a large row of icicles at the water contact. The water in the pool is calm, but there are some bubbles in the three-eye clear spring at the bottom of the pool from time to time, which stir up waves on the water surface and ripple away layer by layer. It is really lovely.

Here you can also enjoy the surrounding "Shimen Pavilion", "Split Cloud Peak", "Phoenix Gorge" and "Double Waterstones".

Intermediate virtual pool and intermediate virtual pool

The middle virtual pool is located in the inner four waters, and there is a pool in the inner five waters. There is a pool above, a virtual pool below and four nameless pools below the two pools. The six ponds are connected, the gap between them can be about ten meters, and the water is very fast. Therefore, the waterway is very narrow, and the green pool is like a broken pearl jade, which is constantly thrown into the air to form pieces of water mist.

A little east of the two lakes, there is a mountain peak sandwiched between the two peaks, just like a phoenix, soaring in the sky. This is the famous scenic spot "Feng Fei Cliff", and the whole landscape is called "Feng Dan Spread its Wings". On the cliff, strange rocks stand out and cold trees grow. Because it is early spring, the yellow branches and the green pool water set each other off.

Deyutan and Deyitan

Deyutan is located in Neiwushui, and Deyitan is located in Neiliushui, both of which are irregular circles. Deyutan is slightly larger, with a radius of about seven or eight meters, while Deyitan is much smaller. Even so, it is more interesting. Deyitan is divided into two parts, the upper part is shallow, about one meter at most, and the lower part is more than six meters deep. On the edge of the small pool above, there are two large and small water inlets, each of which has a half-meter wide water flow injected into the deep pool below, with a drop of about one meter, so it looks like waves rolling and boiling. Although the pool has been flooded for countless times without knowing it, just as Hai Ruo is better than Hebo, it is wonderful to "get what you mean and forget what you say".

Wujitan

Among the 18 pools, the Wuji pool located in the internal water is different from other pools, and they are connected and echo each other. It lives alone in the valley. Before me, where did those lost years go? Where is the next generation behind me? Living alone. Its radius is about eight meters, it is oval, and its depth is about seven meters. The pool is surrounded by a boulder. The pool is motionless, like a whole piece of jasper, so green that people can't bear to reach out and touch it. There is a stone table and four stone benches on the cliff by the pool. The colored stones on the stone table are just like chess, just like the old man and Chunyang ascended to heaven shortly after the rotten game was withdrawn. Standing on its side, there is a sense of transcendence.

Bu zhitan

Among the eighteen pools, the stagnant pool with internal water may be the smallest. It is about three meters square, the water is shallow, but its body is steep, but it is the best of the eighteen pools. Stones weighing more than 100 tons surround this small and exquisite pool, which makes it more charming and moving. Stones and pools are like men's masculinity compared with women's femininity. Although this pool is small, it extends in all directions, and six small pools are at arm's length from it, and the water flow is the same, so it is named "no stagnation".

You can also enjoy the surrounding landscapes, such as Zhang (also known as Zhang), stones and horses, which are stacked on top of each other in the direction of Wuji Lake and the Immortal Lake. There is also a water pool near Liangtan, which is called Jingtiantan. Although it is not among the 18 pools, it is also quite beautiful. The water in this pool is crystal clear, crystal clear and green as jade.

Eat the altar and drink the altar

Dining chardonnay and drinking nectar are located in the inner seven waters. Drink dew on the table, rice on the table. Dining Xia named Li Bai's poem "I have been to the East China Sea and had dinner at Laoshan Mountain in Xia Zi". The terrain here is open, and there are no trees or peaks on it. Yesterday, it was sunny when I went up the mountain. Sunlight shines directly through the water and forms a beautiful glow in the water. The water is sparkling, just like this pool of clear water swallowed up all the light in the stomach.

There are waterfalls on the drinking pool, with fast-flowing water and different scenery. The rushing water gurgled out of the cave about half a meter in diameter, just like a mouth constantly spitting out nectar. The reporter found that there was a lot of rubble scattered inside, which attracted many tourists to take photos here.

There are many landscapes around these two pools, such as Li Anyun Cliff, Dalongmen, Gongshan, yuechi county, Sleeping Fish Peak and Fish Scale Gorge.

Qingxintan

The area of Qingxintan is probably the largest among the Eighteen Tanks, because it is not far from the water source of Yin Chao Waterfall, so there is a lot of water here, but the depth is different, the depth is more than one meter, and the shallowness is only enough.

It's easy to enjoy the swimming pool here, because a plane stone bridge has been built on its west side. The bridge deck is wide, fenced and has a good view, so it is very safe. Standing on the bridge, the pool water is clear and stable. If you don't look carefully, you really can't see the water flowing. When you look at the waterscape, it is easy to have a clear-headed feeling that you can't tolerate any other interference.

While standing on the bridge and enjoying the water, you can also enjoy the distant view of the nearby Golden Flower Valley, Guaner Stone, Qilin Peak and Yin Chao Waterfall.

Chertin

This is the last pool of eighteen pools from bottom to top, and it is also the starting point of eighteen pools according to their sources. It should be said that this is a depression that is closest to the original intention of "pool"

The waterfall of "Tidal Sound Waterfall" flies down in the air, and after twists and turns, it is continuously injected into this pool, so that the pool is full of water and flows with the waves. It is named "ear washing" here because the gentle and beautiful sound of waterfalls in dry season and the roaring and surging sound in rainy season have different moving beauty. Whether it is quiet or roaring, tired tourists can feast their eyes here and wash the worldly words in their ears.

The reporter found that after some reconstruction, the low-level stone road that used to cross the stream here was replaced by an arched stone bridge that looked like white marble, thus making the pool deeper and wider. Although the pool is as deep as four or five meters, the water quality is clear and gravel particles can be seen at the bottom. In the past, this pool was called "Indigo Bay" because of its clear water quality and indigo color. Yesterday, the midday sun penetrated the bottom of the water. Under the action of the current, it was like a fish that kept swimming. Although it is early spring, standing on the bridge watching the water will still make people unconsciously want to jump into the pool.

"Eighteen Tanks" is wonderful, but coming down from Yin Chao Falls and appreciating these eighteen tanks again will feel different from coming down from the foot of the mountain. If you don't believe me, you can experience it yourself.

Visit the "Landscape Bridge"

It is understood that the Laoshan Scenic Area Management Committee made some appropriate adjustments to the original tour system and scenic spot settings when building the "Nine Waters and Eighteen Pools", so that the road system of the whole tour area was more integrated into the landscape, and the landscape of each pool expanded from water to land to mountain, forming a three-dimensional landscape of mountains, roads and water.

During the tour yesterday, the reporter found that from Neiyishui to Neijiushui, nine water-crossing bridges, which were originally composed of stones at the corner of mountain roads along the way, have now been replaced by elegant arched wooden bridges, stone bridges and steel cable bridges. Each bridge was built by designers according to the scenery. People standing on the bridge did not feel the traces of artificial axes, but felt like things made in heaven. Among them, Sanshui, Sishui and Wushui are solid wood bridges, and the boards on the solid wood bridge are made of natural wood (light green) instead of painted with some bright colors, which reflects a kind of nature. It is understood that the materials used in these wooden bridges are all embalmed wood imported from abroad, which can resist wind, rain, sun and rain; Yishui, Qishui, Langshui and Jiushui are surrounded by stone bridges, which are simple and natural. Between Ershui and Sanshui, and between the cliffs on the west side of Shuangshiwu Village, is a suspension bridge made of steel wire rope and non-slip steel plate.

It is understood that with these bridges, the scenic spots can still be opened in rainy days in the future. Previously, due to safety factors, the management department had to close the mountain after every heavy rain. In the future, there is no need to worry about this. These bridges built above the water surface on the flood bridges in Jiushui can ensure the safety of the tour. In the future, in the rainy season in summer, the Beijiushui tourist area can always be open to tourists, no matter how big the water is.

In addition, beside some pools, the construction unit also built a stone plank road that can watch the water features at close range according to the original terrain, and sparsely erected a wooden railing beside the stone plank road to prevent tourists from accidentally falling into the water. The reporter found that the iron railings and chains in some dangerous areas prone to flash floods along the way were repainted with black paint, and the surface color sparkled under the sunlight.

In order to create an elegant atmosphere for enjoying the water pool, the construction unit also planted some bamboo forests with different areas along the mountain road adjacent to the water pool, walking between water and bamboo, which can not only enjoy the grand view of mountains and cliffs, but also enjoy the small view of water, bridges, bamboo and pavilions comparable to the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River.

It is reported that in order to ensure the safety of tourists as much as possible without destroying the local natural landscape, the relevant departments have made great efforts to build these bridges. Planning and design is a senior expert invited from Hong Kong. According to the local landscape characteristics, after long-term special demonstration. In many places, because we can't think of a way to kill two birds with one stone at the moment, the staff temporarily stopped the construction and left it to future generations to solve. For example, considering that the section from Lengcuixia to Erlong Mountain is impassable when it rains heavily every year, the project leader originally planned to build a bridge across Erlong Mountain in this section, but for fear of destroying the natural landscape, a stone plank road was built on the mountain wall from Lengcuixia to Erlong Mountain. Although it is necessary to bypass this section, the natural landscape here is preserved.

Taoist culture and landscape are fully combined, and the name of "Nine Waters and Eighteen Grooves" is somewhat mysterious.

According to the person in charge of the Laoshan Scenic Area Management Committee, the overall design concept of "Nine Waters and Eighteen Lakes" is to organically combine the idea of "obeying the law" with the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers to form a unique cultural connotation, and the naming of "Nine Waters and Eighteen Lakes" is also based on this principle. Visitors can learn about the ancient philosophical concept of "being born of water" while visiting and watching.

The nine waters from Neiyishui to Neijiushui were named Shangshan, Baoyi, Dafang, Wuqi, Health Care, Zuoforgetfulness, Xiaoyao, Anqihe respectively. The "Eighteen Tanks" in the valleys along the way were named Zhirou Tantan, Jubeitan, Weishitan, Wuyoutan, Wuji Tantan, Ziqitan, Chrysanthemum Tantan and Tantan respectively. In fact, when naming, people concerned refer to many factors, such as the orientation and shape of each pool and their relationship with the surrounding environment, thus making each pool more aura and cultural significance.
