Guangxi Goose Spring, a place you want to visit again once you've been

Before, I really didn't know that just 6 kilometers away from Jingxi City in Guangxi, there was a hidden paradise called 'Goose Spring'. This 'cool fact' deeply attracted me. It is the source of the Detian Waterfall, the largest transnational waterfall in Asia, and is as famous as Dali's Butterfly Spring in Yunnan and Guiping Xishan Milk Spring in Guangxi, making it one of the three famous springs in Southwest China. 'Goose Spring' scenic area has a long history, having withstood more than seven hundred years of vicissitudes. The 'goose' character stele, which sets the theme for the scenic area, was written by a person from Haimen Danzhou in the Liao Dynasty. In the 20th year of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty (1815), it was expanded under the supervision of the governor Song He. The three 'Goose Spring Inscriptions' from the Qing Dynasty, although not very clear, are precious historical relics. I was curious as to why it was called 'Goose Spring'? Luckily, there was a Legend Pavilion in the scenic area, so I went in to find out. It tells the story of an old woman without children, who found two goose eggs, warmed them with her body, and after hatching the goslings, lived dependently with them. The continuous drizzle was like silk and mist, lightly scattering. I felt a bit disappointed upon arrival, feeling that the gloomy weather was not encouraging. However, the 'Goose Spring' in the misty rain truly had the artistic conception of 'the mountain colors are hazy and the rain is also strange'. The mountains locked in the mist reflected on the hazy water surface, and every casual snapshot was like an ink painting. At the spring's eye, I saw that the calm water surface actually had such a strong impact, feeding the Detian transnational waterfall? A few white swan ladies on the water surface showed no alertness to my arrival, tucking their heads into their bodies and staying quiet; it was the season of blooming peach blossoms, and visitors flocked to this forest to check in, jokingly saying that they were walking into 'peach blossom luck'; the lush rapeseed flowers were also vying for beauty, releasing loveliness. Climbing high to look down, bird's-eye view of the whole scenery, the same landscape, a different experience. Sitting on a bamboo raft, the boat rowed towards the Fifteen-Hole Bridge, an ancient bridge built during the Qing Dynasty, which still maintains its ancient style. We sat leisurely on the bamboo raft, passing through the bridge holes, and the distant beauty brought closer revealed even more of the ancient bridge's charm. The scenic area is not too large, and it took just over two hours to tour all the spots, yet I still felt reluctant to leave this 'Peach Blossom Land' that seemed like a paradise on earth. 👍Highly recommended: National 4A Tourist Attraction.
