According to the guide, its best natural despair includes seven scenic spots such as Taimu Mountain Yue, Jiulixi Waterfall, Qingchuan Waterfront, Fuyao Islands, Sangyuan Cuihu, Lengcheng Castle and Ruiyun Ancient Temple. On the day I went, because of the time, I only took Taimu Mountain Yue as the main tour route. On the other hand, I looked at the gourd hole, a tile, and nine carp flew into the sky. Cross the first line of the sky, cross the Xiangshan Temple, and return to Pingxing Temple from another road. It is very interesting to see Guoxing Temple and Tianmen Temple from the top of Tianzhu Peak, hidden between the red sun, blue sky and white clouds.
It is said that this mountain has a long history and flourished in the Tang and Song Dynasties. There are 36 monasteries in the north of Shan Zhinan. Its Guoxing Temple, ruiyun temple, Lingfeng Temple, Bajiao Temple and Tianzhu are the largest. Up to now, there are 360 stone pillars in the ruins of Guoxing Temple, and there are Lingga pagodas, sculptures and stone tablets created in the Tang and Song Dynasties in front of the temple. Unfortunately, these sites have now become tourist attractions and temples have not been reopened.
What's more worth mentioning is that Taimu Mountain is famous for its four wonders: the wonder of the stone, the strange cave, the danger of the peak and the fog.
There are many kinds of stones with different shapes, such as "Eighteen Arhats Climbing the Mountain", "Immortal Saw Board", "Twin Peaks of Husband and Wife", "Golden Cat Jumping Mouse", "Monks Lecture" and "Scarab Climbing the Wall". There is a local proverb that praises the strange stone cloud: "Being old is good, and everything is like magic. As everyone knows, everything is in the chest. " This clearly means that "the benevolent sees the mountains and the wise sees the water" has different purport and impressions.
Different caves there have their own characteristics and deep twists and turns, all of which are cemented by rocks over the years. Some caves extend low and directly to the sea, such as sea caves; Some caves expand upward to the top of the stone, such as Tian Tong Cave. Some dig holes to avoid lanes, and the sky is like a line, such as a line of sky; Some caves are located in caves, which are magical and unpredictable, such as Shenxian Cave; In some caves, you can observe the sunrise, in others, you can observe the tide, in some caves, there are Dan wells, in some caves, there are Longtan. The big hole can accommodate thousands of people and even build a pavilion; Only a few people are allowed to rest in this small hole. Too many to talk about, too many to count, too beautiful.
The peaks there are surrounded, tilted, uneven, steep and beautiful. Some rise from the ground and soar into the sky to compete with the sky; Some meander for hundreds of miles, still like a long dragon; Some are independent, just like meditation; Some volleys are vertical, just like a pillar supporting the sky and leaning on the ground; Some are as thin as bamboo shoots and as jade pointing straight at mountains and rivers; Some are shaped like umbrellas to shelter travelers from the wind and rain. The danger of the mountain peak is daunting. It's really "reaching the top, the other mountains all appear dwarfs under the sky.".
The fog there is much and changing quickly, gathering and dispersing, rising and falling, thick and light, which is very suitable. When you board the observation deck overlooking the East China Sea, the first step is foggy and filled with white clouds. It's like walking in the fog on this mountain. The mountain is high and the road is far, and the sea is vast. Occasionally, the red sunshine on the horizon passes through nine clouds, and gold is born everywhere in an instant. It gives people a mysterious color and feels that the changes in nature are wonderful and unpredictable.
Strange stones are painters' favorite, the crystallization of art and the symbol of stupidity. Different caves are immortals' choice of residence, tools of nature and the embodiment of wisdom. Dangerous peak is the ultimate creation, brave struggle and simple return; Fog is the legend of myth, the information of the times and the clutch of karma.
The rocks, caves, peaks and fog here show the infinite beauty of the local natural scenery, praise the unparalleled magnificence of the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, add many legends and wonders to the newly-built Pingxing Temple, and provide a place for monks to live. I really envy the steadiness and meditation of stones, the quietness and wisdom of caves, the steepness and height of peaks, and the mystery and unpredictability of fog. Ah! Nature is so beautiful!
