[briefbestiary]

A bird with a baleful sting, the qinyuan carries an apian countenance albeit with a far more potent venom.

Qinyuan Mountain which is translated as the "Pure Water-source Mountain", is the only 5A scenic spot in Quanzhou. The mountain is only 500 meters above sea level and is a perfect spot for a casual hike. With thousands of years of history, a major highlight is Laojun Rock. Located at the foothill, it is a detailed carved sculpture of Laozi. #TheDentistIsOut #XaveeInFujian #Qinyuan #Fujian #Quanzhou #China #FilipinoChineseYouthExchangeProgram #TravelChina #ChinaTravel #InstaChina #WhenInChina #TravelFujian #WhenInFujian #Travel #traveling #photography #instapic #vacation #instatravel #instapassport #instatraveling #mytravelgram #travelgram #travelingram #igtravel (at Qinyuan) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3PXlZ7A_yn/?igshid=70csxhh0t6ti

#Qinyuan #Qinyuanbird #Yuanyuan #Zhiyuan Mount Kunlun is the Pillar of Heaven, a place of great energy and endowed of a fiery brilliant aura. Four rivers – Black, Red, Yellow, and Oceanic – flow from Mount Kunlun, and the mountain is administered by the god Luwu, or the Queen Mother of the West Xi-Wangmu in later texts. Many wonderful birds and beasts dwell on Mount Kunlun, including the Qinyuan or Qinyuan-bird. It looks like a bee, but is the size of a mandarin duck. Its sting is venomous enough to kill other animals and to wither trees. Despite the classification as a “bird”, Mathieu believes it to be simply a large stinging insect. References Mathieu, R.
