Ula Relics | Linfen · One Hour Climb to Pay Homage to the Eastern Peak

| Linfen · One Hour Climb to Pay Homage to the Eastern Peak. Baishan Eastern Peak Temple, located at the top of Baishan in Puxian, is a religious architectural complex that integrates history, culture, and art. At the southern end of the central axis, the imposing shadow wall bears the four powerful characters 'Pushan Scenic Spot,' indicating the entrance to a solemn holy land. From the shadow wall, heading north along the Changhong Steps, General's Shrine, Royal Horse Hall, Lotus Cloud Hall, through the mountain gate, Paradise Tower, Lingxiao Hall, Heavenly King Hall, Music Tower, Fragrance Pavilion (Council Hall), Offering Pavilion, all the way to the Main Hall of the Palace, Houtu Shrine (Harem), Changyan Palace, Qingxu Palace, Dizang Shrine, Hell, there are more than 300 pavilions and towers in total, with a rigorous layout and magnificent momentum, resembling a miniature Potala Palace. The Offering Pavilion's column bases are relics from the Jin Dynasty, and the Main Hall of the Palace is a masterpiece of Yuan Dynasty architecture. The other halls, towers, corridors, etc., are all precious relics from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Each building reveals the exquisite craftsmanship and profound understanding of ancient culture by the artisans. The carvings are intricate and full of ancient charm, making one feel as if they have traveled through time back to the era of reverence for gods and heaven. Upon departure, the words of the county magistrate borrowing the mouth of the Eastern Peak Emperor to warn the people to protect the mountains and forests and to revere nature still echo in the ears: 'If you cut down my mountains and forests, I will not speak, but if you harm your life, you will not escape.' Every word is sonorous and meaningful, making people reflect on the beauty of the ancient temple while also pondering the way of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature. 【Travel Advice】 - Transportation: There is no direct public transportation to Baishan Eastern Peak Temple. Visitors can take the small yellow bus to Xiaoxitian, and then hike for about 45 minutes. The return trip is the same, which is quite physically demanding, so visitors are advised to prepare for physical exertion. - Tickets: Full price ticket is 28 yuan, with high cost performance, suitable for tourists interested in history and culture. - Opening Hours: 8:30-18:00 (last entry at 17:30), visitors are advised to plan their itinerary reasonably.
