Hengshan Mountain is the northern mountain among the five mountains in China. Its mountains originate from Yinshan Mountain, Guancen Mountain and Taihang Mountain. It stretches for 500 miles from east to west, with 108 peaks. Tianfengling, the main peak of Hengshan Mountain, is located in Hunyuan, with an altitude of 20 16. 1 m. Known as "the pillar of the northern people and the sky" and "the first famous mountain in the world". It is magnificent and is known as the ancestor of the mountains in the north.
Second, the main attractions
1, Jinlong Gorge, located between Tianfengling and Cuiping Peak, is deep, with cliffs standing on its side and huge stones sandwiched between the sky, with the narrowest part less than three feet. This is a natural barrier from ancient times to the present, and the traffic is urgent. During the Northern Wei Dynasty, Emperor Daowu sent tens of thousands of troops to dig mountains and tunnels here as the gateway to the Central Plains. During the Song Dynasty, Yang Ye and his son took risks here to resist foreign invasion.
2. Peach Blossom Cave has existed since ancient times and belongs to one of the "Seven Palaces, Eight Caves and Fifteen Temples" in Hengshan Mountain, which is located on the Zong Feng behind Zhenwutang. The mouth of the cave faces south, more than ten feet high, nearly eight feet wide and about 15 meters deep. Legend has it that this is the place where Peach Blossom Fairy practices. Jade girl was originally on duty in the flat peach garden of the Queen Mother, and later she was reincarnated to a rich family in Beiyue. Because she loves peach blossoms, she is called Peach Blossom Girl. Peach blossom girl is good at solving intractable diseases for the people, so she is deeply loved by the people.
3. Hengshan Hanging Temple is located in Hunyuan, Datong City, Shanxi Province, 62 kilometers away from Datong City. It is a national key cultural relic protection unit and the only unique temple in China that integrates Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism.
Hengshan Hanging Temple was built in the late Northern Wei Dynasty more than 1400 years ago, and it has been repaired in all dynasties. In the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Taoist altar was moved from Pingcheng to Datong, and the ancient craftsmen built a hanging temple according to the requirement of Taoism that "the chicken barks and the dog barks".
4. Fairy Cave House. According to legend, Taoism has thirty-six caves and seventy-two blessed places, all of which are places where immortals live in the Fairy Cave Scenic Area of Hengshan Mountain. The world thinks that the land of heaven is auspicious and full of admiration. Taoist hermits like to live in quiet forests, so they choose places with fairy tales to build temples, which can benefit from the fairy wind and Taoist temple. Since ancient times, Taoist couples have stopped living and pilgrims have been in an endless stream. Therefore, this cave has become a scenic spot of Chinese embroidery rivers and mountains.
