Jinzhong Yunlong Mountain
The natural wonders and beauty of Yunlong Mountain have been documented by many county magistrates, visiting officials, and literati throughout history. Qing Dynasty magistrate Qiu Tingrong wrote in the "Inscription on the Reconstruction of Yunlong Mountain": "Those who climb Yunlong Mountain today all find it extraordinary. It began when people from the Yuan Dynasty discovered a spiritual spring on the sunny side of the mountain and regarded it as miraculous. They built a hall atop it to worship the Dragon King, and prayers for rain during droughts were always answered. At its summit lies Zhao Wang Terrace, said to be the summer retreat of Xiangzi, with remnants still visible. When you reach the site, you can climb layered ridges, rest in flying pavilions, take in the secluded views, and let your spirit roam the vastness."
Jinzhong Yunlong Mountain
Yunlong Mountain is located northwest of the city. It is an open forested park for public leisure, with a newly built complex of classical-style buildings that can be seen from afar, gleaming in gold and splendor. Drive to the parking lot halfway up the mountain, park your car, and walk along the gravel path inward. Along the way, there is a perennially flowing "Dragon Spring," where many locals come with mineral water containers to collect water. They are very enthusiastic in pointing out the direction to the grottoes when asked. The newly built temple is likely not yet completed, as its gate remains closed. The grottoes are located on the cliff behind the temple and require walking around the adjacent hillside to reach.
To the north of the "Jade Cascade Bridge" on Yunlong Mountain, there is a stone memorial archway. Ascend the steps and climb dozens of stairs to reach the "Dragon King Temple." To the east of the temple is the "Chengbi Tower," which houses a well with crystal-clear, azure water, occasionally revealing fish that are clearly visible. To the west of the temple stands a bell tower, whose chimes can be heard miles away. Additionally, Yunlong Mountain features the elegant and rustic "Chessboard Pavilion." This small pavilion is exquisitely and uniquely constructed. On Yunlong Mountain, there are also attractions such as the "Siming House," "Hanshu Pavilion," "Zhangtuo Temple," and "Guanyin Hall."
