Guidong is a place that immortals yearn for and a mysterious secluded place where Zhang Sanfeng, the founder of Wutangmen, once lived in seclusion. Guidong himself is a "hermit", even living in seclusion for too long. Even people who yearn for seclusion hardly know that Guidong is the most suitable place for hermits to live in seclusion. Why do you say that? As we all know, Chenzhou has the reputation of "the land of nine immortals and two buddhas" since ancient times, and it is a blessed place for the development of Taoist and Buddhist culture. The ability of Su Xian and He Chengxian to achieve Tao has been widely circulated among the people. Su Dan, who knows everything about medicine, boiled orange leaves in a well to cure the plague, crossed the crane and ascended to heaven, leaving a story that "the fragrance of orange springs" spread all over the world and became a famous story in China's ancient history and medical field.
Chenzhou was called Guiyang County in ancient times. During the Three Kingdoms period, there was a story about immortals called "Cheng Wuding". It was he who revealed the meeting date of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. Su Xianling, a famous scenic spot in the city, is known as the 18th blessed place in the world because of its wonderful myths and legends, while Chenzhou belongs to Guidong, Qiyunxian, Qin Gexian, Shi Niuxian, Baihexian and Niu Shi. Natural villages and cultural landscapes such as Yuan Xian Bridge in eastern Guangxi, Shenxian Cave Village at the bridgehead and Putian in Ren Xian in Sidu are all named after immortal figures. Shoufo, a famous Taoist priest in Chenzhou in Tang Dynasty, left his footprints almost all over Chenzhou during his missionary work. When he traveled to the border of Guidong, Hunan Province, he saw a treasure trove of geomantic omen, which Shoufo called "Wutai Mountain in the north and Santai Mountain in the south", lamenting that he had lived in a fairyland on earth for several months and was unwilling to leave. In China, it can be called the city of fairy mountains, but it is actually a fairyland on earth and a secluded paradise.
