瀧(long)(long)(long)(long):方(fang)言形容江河狹窄急流之處(chu)。 灘(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan):指河中水淺石(shi)多而(er)水流湍(tuan)急的地方(fang)。 九瀧(long)(long)(long)(long)十(shi)八(ba)灘(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan),即韓公祠(ci)(ci)至樂昌(chang)城這段(duan)水路,而(er)武陽司至韓公祠(ci)(ci)這段(duan)則(ze)稱上十(shi)八(ba)灘(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)。漂(piao)流線是(shi)(shi)從嶺南(nan)第一鎮坪石(shi)出(chu)發,終點到(dao)達樂昌(chang)縣城,航程五十(shi)公里。其間(jian)要經過老瀧(long)(long)(long)(long)、新瀧(long)(long)(long)(long)、垂瀧(long)(long)(long)(long)、崩瀧(long)(long)(long)(long)、梅瀧(long)(long)(long)(long)、燕瀧(long)(long)(long)(long)、腰(yao)瀧(long)(long)(long)(long)、驚瀧(long)(long)(long)(long)、切(qie)肉灘(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)、魚糧灘(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)、三層灘(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)、和(he)尚灘(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)、百(bai)雞灘(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)、蓑(suo)衣灘(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)、黃牛灘(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)、新秦灘(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)、犁壁灘(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)、伸(shen)腰(yao)灘(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)、百(bai)瀧(long)(long)(long)(long)、歧門灘(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)、小灘(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)、龍頭灘(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)、大(da)源灘(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)、鑿子灘(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)、大(da)長灘(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)、定花(hua)灘(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)、滑石(shi)灘(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan),這就是(shi)(shi)九瀧(long)(long)(long)(long)和(he)十(shi)八(ba)灘(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)了。
九瀧(long)(long)(long)十(shi)八(ba)灘是廣東(dong)省省級(ji)風景(jing)名勝區(qu),位于粵北大瑤山麓(lu)的坪石至樂昌市區(qu)的武江河段,全程約60公里,又名韓瀧(long)(long)(long),瀧(long)(long)(long)峽。昔稱“新、垂、腰”三瀧(long)(long)(long),謂之三瀧(long)(long)(long)水。
九瀧(long)(long)十(shi)八灘(tan)因河道(dao)蜿(wan)蜒(yan)曲折,水流(liu)(liu)湍(tuan)急,形成九瀧(long)(long)十(shi)八灘(tan)。1987年,九瀧(long)(long)十(shi)八灘(tan)開發漂流(liu)(liu)旅游,成為(wei)全國第一個江河漂流(liu)(liu)的旅游勝(sheng)地。
九(jiu)瀧十八灘獨有的“美、奇、險”,堪(kan)稱一絕。夾(jia)岸(an)群峰對峙(zhi),江上碧波(bo)蕩(dang)漾(yang)。水(shui)道最窄處僅(jin)容一條小(xiao)船通過(guo)。全程總落差65米(mi)。九(jiu)瀧中最險處為“垂瀧”,落差3米(mi),“驚湍飛注,濤(tao)風沫雪(xue),如(ru)(ru)裸如(ru)(ru)泅,寒(han)不可忍。”春(chun)夏季節河水(shui)漲滿河床,如(ru)(ru)若乘舟飛流直(zhi)下(xia),但(dan)聽得耳畔風聲呼呼,腳(jiao)下(xia)白浪滔(tao)滔(tao),兩岸(an)連山如(ru)(ru)飛鳥掠向腦后,大有一瀉千(qian)里之勢(shi)。十八灘里最奇的當數“百(bai)雞灘”,江中雞心卵石(shi)成灘,漲水(shui)時,水(shui)流在卵石(shi)間翻滾轟鳴(ming),歡快和(he)諧。親歷一番搏擊怒(nu)江之后,隨(sui)輕舟緩(huan)緩(huan)而下(xia),漫游于青山綠(lv)水(shui)間,逍遙(yao)如(ru)(ru)入桃源仙境(jing)。一張一弛,盡情(qing)領略大自然萬(wan)千(qian)氣象(xiang),令人回味無(wu)窮。
九(jiu)瀧(long)十八(ba)灘集山、石、水于(yu)一(yi)景,古(gu)往今來為(wei)(wei)文人騷客(ke)賦詩作(zuo)畫之地。據《樂昌縣(xian)志》載:韓愈(yu)被貶潮州時,路經此(ci)地,書有“鳶飛魚躍”,后人為(wei)(wei)紀(ji)念韓愈(yu),亦稱九(jiu)瀧(long)十八(ba)灘為(wei)(wei)“韓瀧(long)”。
九瀧(long)(long)(long)十八灘,蜿蜒(yan)曲(qu)折,水流湍急,瀧(long)(long)(long)中(zhong)有(you)灘,灘中(zhong)有(you)瀧(long)(long)(long),灘處連瀧(long)(long)(long),總落(luo)差達65米(mi)。沿河兩岸有(you)龜山(shan)(shan)、“7011”工程(cheng)、馬鞍(an)山(shan)(shan)、蛙石、廟子(zi)角(jiao)、韓瀧(long)(long)(long)祠(ci)、大瑤山(shan)(shan)隧道、十里畫廊等多處景點(dian)。九瀧(long)(long)(long)中(zhong)河道最險(xian)處為垂瀧(long)(long)(long),落(luo)差3米(mi),“驚湍飛注,濤風沫(mo)雪,如裸如泅,寒不可忍。”其“一美、二奇、三險(xian)”的獨特(te)風韻(yun),堪(kan)稱一絕。古往今來(lai)吸引著眾多文人墨客(ke),賦詩(shi)抒懷,攝影賞景,領略其中(zhong)驚險(xian)情趣(qu)。
1987年(nian),樂昌旅游(you)局在此(ci)開辟了中國第一家江河漂流(liu)旅游(you)項目,九瀧十(shi)八灘便成為“勇敢者的(de)旅游(you)勝(sheng)地”,馳名(ming)中外的(de)大(da)(da)瑤山隧道貫通(tong),又(you)為九瀧十(shi)八灘增添(tian)了別樣的(de)風(feng)采(cai)。近(jin)年(nian)來,慕名(ming)前來漂流(liu)旅游(you)的(de)國內外游(you)客,絡繹不絕,親(qin)歷與大(da)(da)自然搏斗(dou)的(de)無窮樂趣和(he)有驚(jing)無險的(de)旅程。 1995年(nian),豪(hao)華空調旅游(you)客車(che)“大(da)(da)瑤山號”和(he)訪古觀光小火車(che)“金(jin)雞號”的(de)開通(tong),更是錦上添(tian)花(hua)。
十八灘(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)——切玉(yu)灘(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)、三層(ceng)灘(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)、和尚灘(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)、百雞灘(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)、新秦灘(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)、犁壁灘(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)、岐門灘(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)、小(xiao)灘(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)、蓑衣(yi)灘(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)、雀子(zi)灘(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)、大長灘(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)、滑石灘(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)、石板灘(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)、沖花(hua)灘(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)、麻灘(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)、胡(hu)灘(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)、剝(bo)皮灘(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)、張(zhang)灘(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan) 。
兩岸如削,谷深林(lin)密,河道蜿蜒(yan),水(shui)(shui)流(liu)湍急。立于灘(tan)(tan)頭,可(ke)(ke)見掛舟北上,木筏(fa)南(nan)流(liu),往來穿梭(suo)。清(qing)代詩(shi)人廖燕(yan)有詩(shi)贊曰:“大灘(tan)(tan)小灘(tan)(tan)排水(shui)(shui)面,轉眼高低尤喜(xi)變。纜(lan)纖里許多山彎,果然上灘(tan)(tan)如上山。”從中(zhong)可(ke)(ke)窺(kui)九瀧(long)十八灘(tan)(tan)之險峻(jun)。
九瀧(long)十八灘為全國首辟(pi)漂(piao)流旅游點.每(mei)天八時正,旅游者從坪石(shi)鎮金(jin)雞嶺(ling)腳乘坐橡(xiang)皮(pi)舟,順流而(er)下(xia),時而(er)掠驚濤駭浪(lang)(lang)于人前腦后(hou),時而(er)置輕舟于青山綠水(shui)之(zhi)(zhi)間,有張(zhang)有弛,其樂(le)無窮。 漂(piao)流所有的(de)(de)是橡(xiang)皮(pi)艇(ting),碰到礁石(shi)會反彈,一(yi)般不會撞(zhuang)(zhuang)破(po),如撞(zhuang)(zhuang)破(po)了也(ye)沒有關(guan)系,因為橡(xiang)皮(pi)艇(ting)內有6個氣(qi)室,那怕撞(zhuang)(zhuang)破(po)2、3個仍能(neng)繼續漂(piao)流。每(mei)艘橡(xiang)皮(pi)艇(ting)可載6至10人,由專人負責掌舵。漂(piao)流的(de)(de)河(he)段(duan)選得很好(hao)。開(kai)始的(de)(de)一(yi)段(duan),水(shui)流較緩,約一(yi)個小時后(hou),進(jin)入一(yi)段(duan)狹(xia)窄的(de)(de)河(he)道,水(shui)流湍急,小艇(ting)隨著激流的(de)(de)撞(zhuang)(zhuang)波(bo)破(po)浪(lang)(lang)而(er)下(xia),有時翻進(jin)漩(xuan)渦里,有時穿過(guo)(guo)亂(luan)石(shi)堆,在(zai)波(bo)浪(lang)(lang)中拋上跌下(xia)。艇(ting)里人衣褲盡濕,并要緊緊抓住艇(ting)邊的(de)(de)安(an)全索,以防(fang)被拋出艇(ting)外,相當(dang)驚險,漂(piao)流的(de)(de)樂(le)趣和(he)吸引(yin)力也(ye)正在(zai)這(zhe)兒。闖過(guo)(guo)若干個險瀧(long)后(hou),水(shui)流就慢慢緩和(he)下(xia)來。這(zhe)時,放眼(yan)看去(qu),就會發(fa)現兩岸(an)景(jing)色優美,有"十里畫廊"之(zhi)(zhi)稱,漂(piao)流也(ye)接(jie)近終點了。
