Hanging Coffins

Hanging Coffins

The Hanging Coffins are a cultural tourism attraction.

In the mid-Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Ling, the founder of Taoism (widely known as the First Celestial Master), practiced alchemy and preached here.

His teachings have since spread far and wide. The long-standing Taoist culture, the uniquely beautiful emerald waters and crimson cliffs, and the cliff tomb complex—boasting the longest history, largest scale, and richest collection of cultural relics—form three extraordinary highlights of both natural and cultural landscapes. From atop the heights, you can view ninety-nine majestic peaks in a breathtaking display of grandeur, or take a raft to admire the 20-plus li of ethereal, fairy-tale-like scenery. Explore the remnants of the Celestial Master, uncover the mysteries of the cliff tombs, experience the simplicity of local customs, and enjoy picturesque scenes that delight both the eye and the spirit. Major attractions include: the Celestial Master’s Mansion, the Immortal Water Rock Scenic Area, the Mountain Villa Viewing Platform, Elephant Trunk Hill, Golden Spear Peak, and the Number One Sight Under Heaven.
