The gate of Kongtong Mountain is as crowded with tourists as the towering gatehouse. To the west of Kongtong Mountain is Liupanshan Mountain, to the north is Xiaoguan Mountain, to the south is Guanshan Mountain, and to the east is Qinchuan, which is Shaanxi. Not to mention that Kongtong Mountain is a famous Taoist mountain, the vast forest cover alone will make people feel glad that you have come.
Kongtong snack street, snacks reflect the northwest flavor, including canned buns, Linyou oil noodles, Jingning roast chicken, alfalfa noodles, rock sugar japonica rice porridge, roasted seeds and nuts, pheasant feet, buckwheat noodles, Jingchuan dragon noodles, Jingning pie and so on. Food must also be fully tasted.
The street at the entrance of Kongtong Mountain, which gets up early, is crisp in autumn, cold in the morning and has a large temperature difference between day and night. Because of the high forest coverage, it is cooler. Now Kongtong Mountain is a national 5A-level scenic spot. What I value most is its historical background. Sima Qian in the Western Han Dynasty, Du Fu and Bai Juyi in the Tang Dynasty all boarded it.
The main peak of Kongtong Mountain is 2 123 meters, which is a little lower than the south peak of Huashan Mountain. The forest here is vast, with high content of negative oxygen ions and lush. In autumn, all levels of the forest are soaked. Kongtong Mountain is worthy of the reputation as a national geological park, with beautiful mountains and rivers, Taoist smoke curling, and Taiji Bagua chain palm.
Liupan Mountain, with a vertical height of more than 600 meters, also took great efforts to climb it. Taoist buildings on the mountain are neat and spectacular. Compared with colorful mountains and rivers, temples and pavilions with blue bricks and gray tiles are more primitive. Kongtong Mountain is the first mountain in the west and the most beautiful in the world.
Below is the intersection of Rouge River and Jinghe River. A bay is surrounded by clear water and green mountains. Just like Qinglong Gorge in Fenglin Gorge of Yuntai Mountain, the clear water is like a mirror, which makes people feel relaxed and happy. The cliff is covered with vegetation, birds and flowers, and the scenery is different all year round.
The houses overlooking the foot of Kongtong Mountain are hidden among the green trees. There are nine palaces, eight platforms and twelve courtyards in the history of Kongtong Mountain, and 42 landscapes have been restored. The most noteworthy are twelve scenic spots, such as moonstone with beads, spring candle, jade-sprayed glass, Fengshan colorful fog, fragrant peak, Xianqiao and so on.
Built on the edge of a cliff, the temple is behind a towering cliff, and its side looks like an abyss. The pursuit of Taoist architecture is not to listen to the sound of chickens and dogs, just like the hanging temple in Hengshan Mountain, built on a cliff 60 meters high. There are Wen Palace, Fei Sheng Palace, Zixiao Palace, Xiangshan Temple, Manjusri Hall and Huanjue Hall.
Overlooking the Palace of Kongtong Mountain, where the forest is dyed and the trees are dense, the voice of Taoist chanting can be heard from a height. There were 650 houses at the peak, which was really a wonder. Now there are all kinds of caves, such as Jinyin Cave, Zuiyang Cave, Guiyun Cave and Jade Girl Cave. , are places where Taoist monks practice.
During the festival, there are many tourists in Kongtong Mountain. Everyone climbs the mountain and looks far away, feeling the baptism of autumn wind and autumn colors. There are many tourists going up and down Chaotianmen in Kongtong Mountain, and then they go up the ladder, which consumes a lot of heat. Porters on Huashan Mountain in Huangshan Mountain fly as fast and as thin, but consume too much heat.
Kongtong Mountain is a mountain where three religions are integrated. Although Taoism is the main religion, there is a cave in which there are three religions: Confucius, Sakyamuni and Laozi. It can be said that although everyone has different doctrines, they coexist peacefully and seek common ground while reserving differences. Therefore, Kongtong Mountain also shows its open mind with its great inclusiveness.
Standing on the high platform, looking at the palaces going up and down on the cliff opposite, Taoist buildings seem to like to be built on the cliff. If the sea of clouds appears, it is really a spectacle. But these buildings are also very stable, and the most important thing is probably to pick the stars by hand.
Here is a stone tablet, which shows the place where Qin Shihuang and Han Wudi went to the West. More than 2000 years ago, Qin Shihuang and Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty also climbed the main peak of 2 100 meters, overlooking the vast territory, and were proud of their feat of unifying the four seas and annexing six countries.
