Huoshan, the overlooked famous mountain
Huoshan is truly a huge surprise! It is an overlooked famous mountain in Guangdong, with magic carpets, glass bridges, and a 360-degree panoramic view that is spectacular and deserves widespread promotion. Lingshan Temple reminds me of the Hanging Temple, similarly situated halfway up the mountain, with the continuous sound of cicadas.
Located in the central part of Longchuan County, Heyuan, it is one of the seven famous mountains in Guangdong and a provincial-level forest park, known for its precipitous red cliffs and strange rocks. Legend has it that in ancient times, there were no big mountains here. It was said that when the goddess Nüwa was mending the sky, she scattered the remaining mortar on earth, which happened to fall on Huoshan, thus making the mountain present steep cliffs, towering precipices, and a variety of strangely shaped rocks that are breathtaking. Huoshan was not called Huoshan in the past. Later, during the chaos of the Chu-Han Contention, the ancestors of the famous scholar Huo Long moved from Wu to Yue and settled in Longchuan, living in seclusion on Huoshan. When Emperor Gaozu of Han was in power, he once asked Huo Long to leave the mountain to take office, but Huo Long had no interest in officialdom and said, 'Longchuan is the birthplace of dragons. If the dragon leaves the stream, it might as well be granted death,' politely declining and choosing to live in seclusion on Huoshan. He wrote books, spread culture, enlightened the locals, and after achieving his work, he became an immortal, leaving his name in the world. In gratitude for his beneficence, the people named the mountain after him. Huoshan has many scenic spots, with 372 steep peaks, 48 of which are famous, 27 rocks, 8 great caves, and 11 springs. It is truly a place where thousands of rocks compete in beauty, and thousands of ravines vie in flow, with each peak having its own unique form and every place presenting a spectacle. Therefore, for thousands of years, many scholars, poets, monks, and Taoists have come in an endless stream.

Longchuan Huoshan Scenic Area in Guangdong
Huoshan Tourist Scenic Area has three hundred and seventy-two peaks, among which the most exquisite one is called the Great Buddha Trace. During the reign of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, there was a man named Huo Long, styled Lingyang, who lived here, hence the name Huoshan. Legend has it that in ancient times, there were no big mountains here. It was because when the goddess Nüwa was mending the sky, she scattered the remaining bit of building paste onto the mortal world, which happened to fall on Huoshan, thus making Huoshan present steep cliffs, sheer precipices, standing tall in the sky, with strange rocks and a thousand different postures, making it an extraordinary mountain peak that astonishes onlookers.
Huoshan is one of the seven famous mountains in Guangdong, a provincial-level forest park, and a national AAAA-rated tourist area, known far and wide for its perilous red cliffs and strange rocks.
Whenever there is fog, one can see clouds and mist below, with peaks revealing their sharp stones, and the sky barely visible. If you are in this place, you see clouds below, peaks above, with clouds and mist moving back and forth under your feet, suddenly rising and falling, entwining and dispersing rapidly, creating a myriad of weather phenomena, as if ascending to the fairy mountains and jade towers, truly a scene where only the sky is above, with no mountain equal in height. Standing on the peak and looking into the distance, the sky is high and the earth is wide, boundless, with thousands of mountains faintly visible, and a thousand more mountains lush with greenery, clouds low and mist hazy, ridges racing like elephants. The boundaries of the seven counties of Longchuan, Wuhua, Zijin, Dongyuan, Lianping, Heping, and Boluo are clearly in sight, and the two rivers of Dong and Han appear like green silk ribbons, dancing among the mountains, with fields and villages resembling a paradise on earth, such a beautiful fairyland! No wonder when Su Dongpo wandered here in the past, he was inspired to chant: 'Huoshan's fine aura wraps around like lush onions, its presence overpowering the number one peak of Xunzhou; the stone path's surface dust is swept away by the rain, the cave door is unlocked, inviting the clouds to seal; the boat's head where immortals once crossed, the jar's wine from yesteryear even more robust; with swift steps ascend and open your eyes, the beauty of the south of the Yangtze River reflects in the pupils.' The estimated tour time is about 4 hours.
