Longhu Mountain! You must visit at least once

Firstly, although Longhu Mountain is called a mountain, it is not very high Only the initial path to ascend the mountain requires climbing (about 15~20 minutes) Most of the route consists of a cliffside plank walkway around the mountain It's very relaxing to walk, like strolling among majestic mountains, and is the top choice for those who want to see mountains but fear climbing Longhu Mountain is a typical Danxia landform in China. Due to the erosion and collapse caused by rainwater and rivers, many unique mountain shapes have been formed: like the Elephant Trunk Hill that resembles a giant elephant drawing water, standing next to the sky-reaching Golden Spear Peak There's also Tianmen Mountain with its stacked-turtle-like Gui Peak And the Longhu Mountain itself, resembling a coiling dragon and crouching tiger, etc..... The entire mountain is surrounded by vegetation Standing on the mountainside and looking down, the vast forests are like a green ocean, with the lush greenery hitting the rocks like waves, full of life and beauty that stretches for miles If you think Longhu Mountain Scenic Area only has mountains, you are mistaken. Longhu Mountain is also the birthplace of Taoism, the Zhengyi Temple, the Heavenly Master's Mansion... The historical stories of Taoism are enough to leave one in awe Taking a bamboo raft tour around the mountains will make you linger and forget to return. The hanging coffins and ascending coffin performances in the rock tomb clusters are eye-opening. The 'Dream-seeking Longhu Mountain' performance show at night is absolutely brilliant There are also the hydrangea sea of the Flower Language World, the legend of the Mosquito-Free Village... Transportation: Walk from Yingtan North Station to Yingtan North Station bus stop, take the K1 bus and get off at the scenic area There is also a Longhu Mountain Scenic Area travel line from Yingtan Railway Station, about every 15 minutes (There are many attractions in Longhu Mountain, each attraction can be reached by a sightseeing car, or it is convenient to scan and ride a shared bicycle) Tourist attractions: ▪️ Bathing Fairy Pool ▪️ Flower Language World ▪️ Elephant Trunk Hill ▪️ Mosquito-Free Village ▪️ Bamboo Raft Pier ▪️ Zhengyi Temple ▪️ Xiaoyao City ▪️ Dream-seeking Longhu Mountain Longhu Mountain is a place for quiet cultivation, as the birthplace of the Zhengyi sect of Taoism, it has a profound Taoist cultural heritage and beautiful natural environment. Here, one can escape from the hustle and bustle, meditate quietly, comprehend the true essence of Taoism, enhance personal spiritual cultivation, and achieve inner peace and harmony. Longhu Mountain has a deep connection with Taoism. As the birthplace of the Zhengyi sect of Taoism, since the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Daoling practiced alchemy here, and it is said that 'when the elixir was completed, dragons and tigers appeared', hence the mountain was named. The descendants of Zhang Tianshi have lived in Longhu Mountain for sixty-three generations, and over a thousand years, Longhu Mountain has become an important holy land of Taoist culture. In the Taoist temple, one can experience meditation, standing meditation, Taoist medical experiences, dynamic qigong, Taoist health-preserving practices, and other cultivation activities to improve one's character and spiritual realm. At the same time, the arrangement of Taoist temple pilgrimages and exchanges with the Taoist priests allows cultivators to fully appreciate the charm of Longhu Mountain's Taoist culture. The Taoist priests are also skilled in medicine, and many people have sought moxibustion treatment here for years. After climbing the mountain and taking a bath, we experienced moxibustion, and it was simply too comfortable, making all the fatigue of the day vanish. -

Longhu Mountain is the original ancestral home of the Zhengyi Daoist sect in China

Everyone says that there are three marvels at Longhu Mountain, and the first marvel is: entering the Daoist immortal mansion, tracing the source of Daoism. The so-called Daoist immortal mansion is the Shangqing Tianshi Mansion that we are going to visit. The Tianshi Mansion is located in the middle of the Shangqing ancient town, and it was first built at the entrance of Shangqing town during the Song Dynasty. In the sixth year of the Yuan Dynasty's extension (1319), it was moved to Changqing Li in Shangqing, which is the current Tianshi Mansion. It is the place where the celestial masters of past generations lived and dined, and it can also be said to be the home of the celestial master. The Tianshi Mansion is now listed as one of the twenty-one key national Daoist temples and palaces open to the public. During the most prosperous period of Daoism on our Longhu Mountain, there were a total of ten Daoist palaces, eighty-one Daoist temples, and fifty Daoist monasteries built in Shangqing town. Among them, three are the most famous, the first being the Shangqing Palace. I believe everyone knows that the one hundred and eight generals from the Water Margin came from the demon-subduing well in Shangqing Palace. The Shangqing Palace is located about two Chinese miles east of the Tianshi Mansion in the Shangqing ancient town. It is a grand palace that not only tops the Daoist temples and palaces in the south of the Yangtze River but is also second to none in the whole country.
