”Recently, many tourists come to watch the sunrise and the sea of clouds every day, and stay at our hotel.” Zhang Chunqin, the person in charge of a hotel near the main peak of Tianmu Mountain in Xinchang, Shaoxing, said that thanks to the creation of the core scenic spot on the mountaintop, the hotel had a boom in business during the summer vacation.
As it gets late, the hotel’s large lawn camping base is dotted with tents and children running happily on the grass. From the Heavenly Hidden and the Great Lawn, to the Cloud Platform, the Gold and Silver Terrace, etc., Li Bai’s “sleepwalking place” is slowly becoming a “realistic scene” that can be heard, observed, traveled and photographed.
As the essence and initiative of the “Road of Tang Poetry in Eastern Zhejiang”, in recent years, Xinchang has actively promoted the construction of Tianmushan Cultural Tourism Zone, and is committed to building Tianmushan into a dazzling pearl on the road of Tang poetry in eastern Zhejiang. In 2020, the Xinchang County Party Committee and County Government issued the “”East Zhejiang Tang Poetry Road” Xinchang Tianmushan Tourism Area Master Plan, from top-level design to institutional mechanism reform, Xinchang injected practical impetus into the high-level construction of Tianmushan Tourism Area.
“Tianmu Mountain is not only a mountain, a scenic spot, but also a cultural landmark, and the splendid poems left by poets such as Li Bai have given us plenty of inspiration, and this year we are focusing on building the peak area into a tourist destination and core area of Tianmu Mountain.” Wang Huiying, director of the Tianmushan Cultural Tourism Development Center in Xinchang County, said that according to Li Bai’s “Dreaming in Heaven and Leaving Farewell”, the local planning has laid out the “Ten Scenes of Tianmu”.
The gold and silver platform located on the main peak of Tianmu Mountain should be the “sun and moon shining on the gold and silver platform” in Li Bai’s poem. It is a two-storey tower set amidst a dense forest on top of a hill. “The tower is cast in brass, and the tower shines golden in the daylight, and the treasure in the moonlight.” The relevant person in charge of the project introduced that the gold and silver platform will show different scenery with the change of time and space. In addition to the completed Jinyin Terrace and Cloud Terrace, attractions such as Tianji Terrace, Xingyue Terrace, Bamboo Forest Secret Land, and Rhododendron Valley are under construction, and projects such as the Tianmu Poetry Courtyard and Camping Service Area will be launched later.
The immersion of Shilu culture not only gave the designer sufficient inspiration, but also gave Tianmu Mountain a unique charm. “In order to make it easier for tourists to enter the mountain, we have built a new visitor center and opened up a new access road. After tourists come to Tianmu Mountain, we hope that they can slow down and feel the poetry and charm of Tianmu Mountain. Wang Yicheng, head of the planning section of the Tianmushan Cultural Tourism Development Center in Xinchang County, said that in order to facilitate tourists to capture the scenery of the sea of clouds, they also set up cloud and fog monitoring videos on the top of Tianmu Mountain, relying on live broadcast, cloud prediction and other technologies, online cloud and fog observation points, and jointly released cloud and fog indexes in conjunction with the Xinchang Meteorological Department.
In ancient times, poets cut trees to open a path to Tianmu Mountain, and now, the Tianmu Mountain View Area has entered the era of high-speed rail. On August 10, the “Poetry and Painting Zhejiang Poetic Xinchang” high-speed railway title train was officially opened. “We will seize new opportunities,.Let more tourists travel to Xinchang by high-speed rail and come to Tianmu Mountain to find poetry and distant places. Wang Huiying said.
