Hengshan Mountain, known as Beiyue Mountain, is also known as Taiheng Mountain, also known as Yuanyue Mountain, Ziyue Mountain and Damaoshan Mountain. It is located 1 kilometers south of hun yuan City and 62 kilometers away from Datong City. Among them, Daomaguan, Zijingguan, Pingxingguan, Yanmenguan and Ning Wuguan Huju are dangerous places, which are the throat of the Great Wall Plateau leading to Jizhong Plain, and have been battlegrounds for military strategists since ancient times. Tianfengling, the main peak in the south of hun yuan, is 216.8 meters above sea level. It is known as the "Northern Pillar of Man's Heaven", "the most famous mountain in the world" and "the second mountain in the world".
。 The front gate of Mount Hengshan is a three-story and three-door archway, with the inscription "Mount Hengshan in the North" in the middle of the front and the book "Never Stop the Scenic Spot" on the back. Tickets to 5 yuan.
Walk along Buyun Road for about 5 meters and come to the famous Tiger Mouth. Not far away, there is a pine tree with hanging roots. According to legend, when Zhang Guolao was practicing monasticism in Hengshan Mountain, he often tied a donkey to rest here. One day, when the wind was blowing hard, a white-fronted tiger roared out, and the white donkey fought against it, uprooting the old tree owner and hanging it on the ground. This place was named "Tiger Mouth", and there was an allusion to "Tiger Mouth Hanging Loose".
Go ahead to the Guanguan Pavilion. In front of the Guanguan Pavilion, there is a square pavilion with four-column wood structure, and a stone tablet in the pavilion is engraved with "Bitter and Sweet Well". There are two wells in the pavilion, which are less than three feet apart, but the water quality is quite different. A mouthful is as sweet as dew, cool and refreshing, and a mouthful of bitter and turbid is hard to swallow. Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, visited Hengshan Mountain in those days. After drinking, he praised him and gave him the "Longquan View". Later, the bitter well was filled up, and now there is only one eye of the sweet well.

Beiyue Palace is surrounded on three sides and built in a huge grotto. Since ancient times, Hengshan Mountain has been said that "the spirit stone flies eastward". According to legend, Shun Di visited the north and sacrificed to Beiyue. It was the middle of winter and the mountain was closed by heavy snow. Shun Di was blocked in Hebei, so he couldn't go to Yue to worship, so he had to sacrifice in Quyang. Just at the time of the ceremony, a huge stone suddenly flew from Mount Hengshan to the emperor, so it was named "An Wangshi" and a temple was built in Quyang to sacrifice it. This is the "Temple under Mount Hengshan". Lingshi flies away, forming a large secluded cave called "Flying Grottoes". Later, the "Beiyue Temple" was built here, which was called "Mount Hengshan on the Temple". It was destroyed by fire and rebuilt in the first year of Taiyan in Wei Wudi (AD 438). In the 14th year of Hongzhi in Ming Dynasty (AD 152), in order to further expand Hengshan Mountain, the Ming Dynasty changed the old Yue Temple in Fei Grottoes into "Beiyue Sleeping Palace" and built a new Yue Temple between the cliffs of Tianfengling, which is today's "Hengzong Hall".
Baiyun Cave is on a high cliff beside the road. If it is not reminded by the roadside signs, it is difficult for tourists to notice it. Baiyun Cave, also known as "Baiyun Ling Cave", is overcast with clouds and clouds, and there is bound to be heavy rain. The depth and access of the cave are still unknown. "Flowing clouds in caves" is one of the eighteen ancient scenic spots in Hengshan Mountain.
The 13 steps in front of Zhenyuan Temple are tall, long and narrow with an inclination of 4 degrees.
