Jintai Mountain Cultural Tourism Area

　　Jintai Mountain Cultural Tourism Area is situated on the eastern side of Zhen’an County, next to Zhen’an Station of the Xikang Railway, and 1.2 kilometers from the Zhen’an exit of the Baomao Expressway. It is surrounded by green mountains on all sides and embraced by two rivers. The core area is a small mountain stretching from south to north, within which lies the ancient Xinglong Temple — the ancestral site of Tangmi Buddhism in Zhen’an — carrying forward Buddhist cultural heritage. The name “Jintai Mountain” comes from the two realms of Esoteric Buddhism: the Vajradhātu (Diamond Realm) and the Garbhadhātu (Womb Realm).

　　The total planned area of the tourism zone is 707 hectares, divided into the Jintai Mountain Mystic Realm Ritual Area, Zen Town Area, Natural Scenic Area, Specialty Commercial Area, Cultural Performance Exhibition Area, and Folk Experience Area. Currently, the Mystic Realm Ritual Area and parts of the commercial area have been completed and opened to the public. The scenic area has been constructed in accordance with Tangmi regulations using traditional ancient building techniques, adhering to the standard of “masterpieces for today, cultural relics for the future.” Major attractions include the Four Great Squares: Baoqie, Dabe, Zunsheng, and Jintai; the Three Great Gates: Tathagata, Vajra, and Siddhi; as well as structures such as the City Gate Tower, Front Mountain Gate, Qiangui Bridge, Jintai-Tarini Gate, Bell and Drum Towers, Garbhadhātu Realm, Kaiyuan Hall, Vajradhātu Realm, Moonlight Pavilion, Abhisheka Hall, and the One Taste Three Pagodas Courtyard. The second phase will further expand the capacity of the scenic area, with key attractions currently under construction including the Jintai Academy, He Man Ranjo Hotel, Jintai Tianjie, Jintai Parking Lot, Xiangmu Street, and the Zhen’an Impression Performance Plaza. The overall cultural theme is positioned as “The Mystic Realm of Jintai, A Hidden Buddhist City.”

　　At Jintai, you can relax and exercise, study and worship, or enjoy a Zen-inspired vacation and peaceful wellness retreat. It is an ideal destination for eco-tourism and cultural heritage.
