The waterfall flies over the pool, flowing from ancient to modern times, and the mist floats above the ridge, mysterious within the cave
On the 19th, I passed through Qing Shi Guan, looked at Lu Mountain, Lin Li Lake, Wang Mu Pool, and arrived at Qiao Ling karst cave.
During the Spring and Autumn period, Qing Shi Guan was a pass of the Qi Great Wall, a strategic throat between Qi and Lu. Lu Mountain, as the boundary mountain between the two states, stands tall with layered peaks, strange rock formations, and steep cliffs. Named for its position facing Qi and backing Lu, the mountain extends for miles with its two main peaks facing each other. High mountains and deep ravines, climbing and overlooking waters, bamboo and rocks, springs and winding paths.
Lin Li Lake is as smooth as a mirror, with picturesque scenery. Surrounded by lush forests and bamboo on three sides, it's verdantly beautiful. Butterflies dance, bees buzz, morning light and evening shadows, lake and mountain hues reflect each other. The waterfall descends from the sky, white like a flying ribbon, splashing like pearls and jades, with mist swirling around. It is said that the Queen Mother bathed in the pool during her visit, hence the name Wang Mu Pool.
Qiao Ling is a series of layered peaks and cliffs, with caves within caves in the karst cave, twisting and turning, densely covered with stalactites, and decorated with colorful formations.
