Category: Tourist Attractions 👁 100 views

Originally known as Lotus Mountain due to its resemblance to a lotus flower, it was renamed Jade Emperor Mountain during the Tang Dynasty when a Taoist temple called Jade Emperor Hall was built on its mountainside. The Jade Emperor Mountain Scenic Area is located in Zaxi Village, Zhangjiabang Township, at the junction of Luxi, Lianhua, and Anfu counties. It lies to the west of the national 4A-level scenic spot Wugong Mountain and is an extension of the Wugong Mountain range. It is also situated southeast of the national 3A-level scenic spot Mingyue Lake, serving as the lake’s source, covering an area of 60 square kilometers. The area features towering mountains, verdant peaks, and crystal-clear waters, and is one of the sources of the Lushui and Xiaoshui rivers. Its highest peak, Yufeng, stands at an elevation of 1,234 meters. The region is home to rare flora and fauna such as yew trees, ginkgo trees, and silver pheasants. With its pristine ecology and unique landscapes, the area boasts deep mountain valleys, mid-mountain terraced fields, alpine azaleas, and vast bamboo forests. The main peak is surrounded by eight mountain peaks arranged in a circular formation, which from a distance resemble a blooming lotus. With steep cliffs, lush trees, and clear springs, it is truly a breathtaking sight. In spring and summer, the mountains are covered in lush greenery, while in autumn and winter, the forests are painted in vibrant hues. At the foot of the mountain lies a karst cave over a kilometer long, twisting through the earth with wondrous and splendid scenery that is truly awe-inspiring. Other notable attractions include the ancient Jade Emperor Palace, Qutian Gorge rafting, the camping site of the Autumn Harvest Uprising troops, the Red Army primary school in the Wang family’s ancestral house, a thousand-year-old couple of yew trees, Longtan Spring, and petrified wood. Visitors can enjoy the natural scenery, explore traces of Taoist heritage, and experience local folk customs here.
