Putian Tianma Mountain

Putian Tianma Mountain

Introduction   Situated within Bangtou Town, 15 kilometers east of Xianyou County, it is one of the four major scenic spots of Xianyou. With an elevation of 655 meters, the mountain earns its name from its towering, steep cliffs that seem to pierce the heavens, like a heavenly horse soaring through the sky. It boasts five peaks—Tianma, Aozhu, Shuangtu, Hairi, and TianTi—each peak lush and green, resembling an emerald screen, with stunning scenery stretching over ten li. At the foot of the mountain lies a pond called Dinghu, like a sapphire nestled in the hills. On one side of the lake are four peaks: Shibao, Longshou, Shuangtu, and Qiaobi; on the other side, a hiking trail winds up through cliffs and along the ridges, leading to the hundred-meter-high “Heavenly Ladder.” Above the lake are seven waterfalls: Dinghu, Danbao, Longshou, Yaocao, Yunmen, Tianjin, and Songguan, each with its own unique charm. The Tianma Temple, built in the 12th year of the Wanli era during the Ming Dynasty, is nestled amidst the surrounding green mountains.
