Fuxian Lake is green as jade, and Gushan Island is like a gem embedded in green jade, so it is also called "Jade Mountain Surrounded". Because the lonely mountain is surrounded by clear water, when the wind blows, it is surrounded by clear water and snow waves, also known as "Shuijinshan" and "Yinghai Mountain". In history, Gushan has also used names such as Haizhong Mountain, Yongquan Mountain, Yingshan Mountain and Xiaojin Mountain. , but it should be called Gushan. It seems to be squeezed out of the lake, just sticking its head out of the water. Although I am still unwilling, I can look at the beautiful Fuxian Lake and the colorful world in isolation and helplessness.
Covering an area of more than 80 mu, Gushan enjoys a superior geographical position and is surrounded by steep hills, especially in the east, south and north, where it is more than 20 meters above the water surface, all of which are cliffs. Folklore: "Lonely mountain is high, there is no way", "Lonely mountain is difficult to walk". Although the isolated mountain is small, it has a peculiar charm and charming scenery. There are ten natural landscapes: Lankeping, Fish Paradise, Nongzhuyan, Nanwudong, Tianshengqiao, Guifeng, Sheshenyan, Guanshengtai, Zhenyigang and Lianxinshi. It is a tourist attraction and enjoys the reputation of "Yidong Scenic Area".
Gushan Island is several miles away from Haimen Park scenic spot in the south and faces the Lotus Peak on Biyun Temple in the star scenic spot in the north. The north is gentle, the southwest is steep, the stone wall is steep, and there are square and flat boulders in the west. Named "Lankeping", also known as "Chessboard Stone". According to legend, the secluded mountain environment was even better than heaven, and immortals often came here to play chess for recreation. Two of them linger and turn into stones, which are called "double stones". There is a cave in the east called "Fairy Cave". There is a huge rock cliff in the south, which can span from Tiansheng Bridge to the "Yingfengge" at the southern end. When the cliff is clear and the weather is clear, herring will come here in droves from time to time. At the peak, it can form a "herring array" of 3000 to 4000 square meters, competing for water and having fun, so it is called "the country where fish are happy". There is a platform above the cliff, on which you can see the wonders of "the country where fish are happy", which is called "fish-watching platform". Every year on the sixth day of the sixth lunar month, local people still hold temple fairs in Gushan. During the event, people will throw colorful "rice balls" and other homemade food into the lake to attract thousands of herring to accept sacrifices. Over time, the unique "Herring Wonder" of Gushan Island has been formed. The climax of the herring array is from July to November of the lunar calendar every year. With clear skies in Wan Li, visitors can feast their eyes, fish will not be scattered nearby, and they can take photos without any obstacles and swim freely.
