Liufeng Mountain

Liufeng Mountain has an elevation of 343 meters and a vertical height of 184 meters. It consists of six peaks: Dragon Head, Phoenix Tail, Crane Standing, Turtle Back, Soaring Sky, and Guardian Peak, hence the name Liufeng (Six Peaks). The mountain boasts a profound religious and historical culture. The Beidi Temple, situated under the cliff in the mountain’s belly, was built in the fifth year of the Zhengde era during the Ming Dynasty and is one of the well-known Taoist temples. The long-established Guanyin Temple was designated as the first open and managed Buddhist activity site in Lingshan County. Liufeng Mountain is a rare mountain that integrates both Taoism and Buddhism. As early as the Song Dynasty, it attracted countless visitors with its reputation as a “paradise on earth.” To further explore its religious culture and enhance its fame and influence, in 2005, 2 million yuan was invested to construct the Mahavira Hall, the Ksitigarbha Hall, and others.

There are more than 300 existing cliff inscriptions, dating from the Northern Song Dynasty to the Republic of China. These come in various forms including inscribed names, records, poems, proclamations, prohibitions, epitaphs, land deeds, couplets, and donor lists. Their content covers politics, economy, military affairs, culture, and more, making them precious cultural relics for studying social history.
