Attraction Introduction

The name of Luosanmei Mountain originates from a figure in local legend. It is said that in Yongmo Village at the foot of the mountain, there was a girl named Luo Sanmei who lost her father at a young age and came from a very poor family. Her mother had been chronically ill and bedridden for years, and Luo Sanmei was extremely filial, serving her tirelessly. When Luo Sanmei was 14 years old, her mother passed away, and she was so grief-stricken that she refused to eat for over ten days and eventually died of sorrow. To commemorate this filial daughter, the locals named the mountain “Luosanmei Mountain.” At the top of the mountain stands a small square stone temple—Luoxianggu Temple—built during the Guangxu era. The temple pillars are inscribed with the couplet: “The sound echoes through Golden Flower Rocks, startling the strange stones; the traces shift within the Illusory Orchid Ring, overlooking the boiling springs.” Behind the temple, massive rocks are piled precariously one atop the other, like eggs stacked high. When you strike the center of these rocks with a stone, the sound is like beating a drum. Between the boulders, only a narrow slit remains; looking up, you can see just a sliver of blue sky, hence the name “One Line Sky.” On the left mountainside, there is a huge rock that strikingly resembles a reclining yellow ox. Legend has it that this ox was once herded by Luo Sanmei, and after she ascended to immortality, the ox turned into this giant stone.
