Zhangzhou E-Xian Cave

　　Introduction 　　      E-Xian Cave Natural Scenic Area is located on Goose Peak Mountain in Jinshan Town, Nanjing County, over 50 kilometers from downtown Zhangzhou. The scenic area spans 2 square kilometers and gets its name from the goose-like shape of the mountain peak. It features four major highlights: rainforest, cliffs, sea of clouds, and butterfly clusters. Renowned for its rugged beauty, serene atmosphere, and ethereal charm, it is one of the most famous scenic spots in southern Fujian.
　　On the mountain stands the long-renowned Jiuli Feizhen Temple. Legend has it that nine immortals traveled south together and, enchanted by the breathtaking scenery, chose to settle here. Later, during the Qingli era (1041 AD) of Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty, a beautifully crafted temple with upturned eaves and carved beams was built halfway up the mountain, resembling a fairyland. To this day, the temple remains highly popular among worshippers. In addition, there are over 20 other attractions including the Luolun Ancient Path, Flying-in Pavilion, Goose Peak Viewpoint, Chess Rock, Spirit Turtle’s Spiritual Journey, and Crane Pool. At the mountaintop lies an ancient subtropical rainforest covering thousands of acres. E-Xian Cave Scenic Area is widely celebrated for its unique peaks, ancient temples with upturned roofs, picturesque waterfalls, and pristine rainforest.
