Yuefeng Mountain

Yuefeng Mountain

Yuefeng Mountain is a national AAA-level tourist attraction.

The Yuefeng Mountain Scenic Area is located 3 kilometers south of Chengqian Town, Zoucheng City. The area features continuous mountain ranges, crisscrossing ravines, terraced fields, and scattered rocks. To the south lies the ancient Yuefeng Village, where over 80 traditional dwellings remain, preserving an old-world charm. The ponds and air-raid shelters from the 1960s (now used as storage cellars) showcase distinctive local characteristics. This land witnessed fierce battles during the Liberation War, with stirring stories still passed down among locals. The Martyrs' Pit at Xiaonanshan Pass in Yuefeng Village stands as a testament to this history. To the north are the ruins of the Lingquan Ancient Temple, Lingquan Lake, peculiar rocks, ancient and famous trees, and a cherry-picking orchard. The Lingquan Ancient Temple is situated on Niulanshan Mountain in Shimen Village, Chengqian Town. Originally built during the Tang Dynasty, it flourished during the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, undergoing five major renovations. The temple complex once included a Mahavira Hall, Guanyin Hall, Ksitigarbha Hall, monks' quarters, bell and drum towers, an abbot’s chamber, and a mountain gate, all forming a majestic structure. It has a history of over 1,300 years but now lies in ruins. Plans for its restoration are underway based on the wishes of local devotees. On the ridge of Niulanshan Mountain stand two ancient yuanbao maple trees, growing from crevices in the rocks. Isolated and with no historical records of their exact age, they thrive despite poor soil and scarce rainfall, their trunks too thick for one person to encircle—a marvel to many. The eastern tree twists upward like a coiled dragon, leaning eastward, while the western one stands more upright. Their branches intertwine, as if whispering affection, earning them the local name "Fate-Binding Trees." Fifty meters west of these trees lies a peculiar rock, referred to by monks as the "Cause-and-Effect Stone." The trees and rock complement each other, creating a charming scene. In the central area stands the Yuefeng Welcoming Pine, its shape sculpted by the wind and reminiscent of a bonsai, echoing the famed Welcoming Pine of Huangshan. It is set off by the unique rocks and cherry blossoms, resembling an ink painting crafted by a master. The Yuefeng Mountain Scenic Area boasts 2,000 acres of high-quality cherry orchards, featuring one high-end viewing pavilion, over 2,000 ornamental trees planted along the paths, and a premium cherry-picking garden. Lingquan Lake shimmers with clear waters, reflecting the surrounding mountains, infusing the area with a serene charm. The entire landscape embodies the theme of "mountains as the backdrop, water as the connecting thread, and greenery as the main element."
