Yaji Mountain

Yaji Mountain

: Located outside the southern gate of Chumen, it rises abruptly from the Jindian Mountain through the gorge and over the Zhuangkeng Mountain, commonly known as "Big Mountain Head." It is surrounded by overlapping mountain ridges. Ascending over the ridge, you’ll find scenic spots such as the Immortal’s Foot Tub, Slate Pit, Immortal’s Cave, Crouching Dragon Ridge, Beacon Tower, and Five Cats Playing with a Turtle. To the east lies Yaji Ridge, hanging over the mountain ridge. Climbing the steps, you can look into the distance where the southern side of the ridge features a steep cliff, resembling a beauty gazing at the clouds. The top of the ridge is known as "Snow Slide Peak" or also called "Cool Hat Summit." There is a flat platform where, from the height, you can gaze into the distance to see misty mountains stretching endlessly; the seawall dikes and green waters appear hazy; the sea meets the sky in a vast, boundless expanse. To the southwest is Mian’niu Ridge, where amid the green trees stands a Taoist temple known as "Lvzu Hall." The Sanqing Hall within the temple was originally built during the Daoguang reign of the Qing Dynasty. Though renovated several times, its classic simplicity remains. The newly built Jade Emperor Hall, with its double eaves and golden tiles, is quite magnificent and serves as the location of the county Taoist Association.
