奇龟山庄

Drive for 30 minutes on the broad asphalt road in the south of the Yangtze River after crossing the Kuazhi Bridge from the central urban area of Yichang, and in the blink of an eye, you will arrive at Sanchakou Village, Tucheng Township. A quaint memorial archway stands by the road, engraved with the name "Three Gorges Qiguiyuan". Entering through the archway, you leave behind the hustle and bustle and restlessness, and step into a world full of joy and relaxation, where you can get close to the natural strange turtles, explore the ancient post road, have a "conversation" with the anti - Japanese heroes, stroll through the colorful honeysuckle sea, pick green vegetables, and return to a carefree time. The biggest highlight of "Qiguiyuan Resort" is the "strange turtles". A small mountain peak rises abruptly on the flat ground in the mountains, with lush trees and beautiful flowers. There is a boulder of about 20 square meters horizontally presented at the cliff. It is flat and smooth, with several cracks like a tortoise's back. The two tortoise claws on the left and right are powerful and weather - beaten, grasping the gray rocks, and the tortoise head is raised high to look into the distance, leaving a huge space for imagination. Ten small wooden houses exuding the fragrance of raw wood are built adjacent to the strange turtles. The indoor facilities for washing and daily living are complete. In the early morning, when the clouds and mists are curling, the fragrance of honeysuckle not far away wafts with the wind, making you refreshed in an instant. At sunset, the setting sun is like molten gold, and the mountains are filled with glorious rays of light, allowing you to think back through the ages. On quiet nights, the moonlight is like water, and you can fall asleep listening to the sound of the pine waves, feeling like being in a fairyland, and whispering with the strange turtles about the tranquility of the years. Under the small mountain peak, there is a cypress tree, which is 20 - zhang (about 66 meters) tall and stands tall and straight. It is an ordinary cypress tree in the local area, but people call it a "strange tree". Why is it "strange"? It is because the trunk is covered with numerous bullet marks, which record the crimes of the Japanese invaders during their military drills. Beside this tree, there is another cypress tree of the same age. Because it "absorbed" too many bullets, it could not hold on and fell down in the harsh years. The killer was the Japanese invaders. The cypress tree guards a nearby hillside, where Chinese soldiers and civilians fought the Japanese invaders with their lives. In the woods on the hillside, Chinese soldiers and civilians fought hand - to - hand with the Japanese invaders for an hour. The blood stained the jungle, and the Japanese invaders fled in a panic. They never set foot on this heroic land again. The ancient post road is on that small hillside, winding into the memory of history. Merchants coming and going from the south and the north broke countless mornings and evenings, peddling goods along the ancient post road to activate the market and also spreading culture and enriching history. People living in happiness today might as well start from here and have a "conversation" with history. In "Qiguiyuan Resort", the most relaxing and enjoyable thing should be entering the greenhouse to pick your favorite vegetables at will. The greenhouse vegetables covering dozens of mu are cultivated and produced in strict accordance with the pollution - free standards, and they are all green and safe vegetables. Besides the greenhouse vegetables, strolling through the honeysuckle sea here is definitely the most romantic thing. The honeysuckle here blooms with colorful flowers and blossoms all year round, so it is also called "Four - Season Honeysuckle". The sea of flowers not only makes people linger, but also fascinates bees. The "honeysuckle honey" brewed by bees with their "magic tools" is the best among honeys and has excellent health - care value. After enjoying the flowers, taking a can of "honeysuckle honey" home to share with family members will surely make everyone happy. Set foot on this magical land, and you will surely harvest double surprises in spirit and material. We are waiting for you here.
