Tayun Mountain Scenic Area

　　Tayun Mountain is located 35 kilometers southwest of Zhen’an County and 21 kilometers from the Dongping exit of the Xikang Expressway. The main peak stands at an altitude of 1,665 meters. It is graceful, towering, and precipitous—when viewed from afar, it resembles a bamboo shoot emerging from the earth, fresh and delicate; up close, it looks like a pagoda piercing the sky, majestic and grand. On the mountain, there are more than ten simple yet ingeniously designed temples and pavilions, originally built in the 25th year of the Wanli reign during the Ming Dynasty. In 2003, it was listed as a provincial-level Class II cultural relics protection unit.

　　Tayun Mountain features steep terrain and rugged rocks, with various landforms such as peaks, ridges, valleys, and cliffs. The area is covered with dense forests, picturesque scenery, towering trees, and fresh air. The Taoist structures on the mountain are built along the contours of the land, featuring intricately carved beams and painted rafters. The architectural style is highly unique and has remained well-preserved for over 400 years. Particularly famous is the Golden Summit, perched high on a sheer cliff. Covering less than 3 square meters, the Golden Summit is located atop Tayun Mountain, surrounded by cliffs on three sides. Visiting the summit to worship feels like walking on clouds, with the sounds of pine waves and views of the full moon. It is often described as “the Golden Summit piercing the blue sky, amidst a sea of pines and drifting clouds.”

　　The Tayun Mountain Scenic Area boasts a wide variety of tourism resources with a well-structured layout. According to the national standard “Planning Norms for Scenic Areas,” Tayun Mountain has 11 Class I scenic spots, 8 Class II scenic spots, and 13 typical Class III scenic resources. It is divided into the Tudi Ridge Tourist Area, Guofengya Tourist Area, Tayun Mountain Golden Summit Tourist Area, and Northwest Village Tourist Area.
