The gate of Taigong mountain is 13 meters high, with exquisite structure and extraordinary atmosphere. There are 103 steps in front of the gate, which is composed of two dragons winding around, flying through the clouds and climbing up the stairs. The gate is a double eaves mountain type, with three wide faces, the main gate in the middle and the chambers on both sides. The two sides are engraved with Baltic characters, each with three eaves and three ridges. On the top of the gate is "carp leaping over the dragon's gate", which is full of sunshine and vivid. On Taigong mountain, there is a stone, less than five square meters, with a seat, two footprints, and a fish basket. The basket has the size of a basin mouth, and is about 30 cm deep. It has water all the year round and never dries up. It is said that after Jiang Ziya helped King Wu to establish the Western Zhou Dynasty, he traveled all over the country to the Bank of Tianmu Lake, where he fished leisurely. To the main hall square, this is the best viewing point of Tianmu Lake. The surface of Tianmu Lake is full of splendor and splendor, and the southeast is covered with mountains and haze, with peaks and peaks, high and low, one after another. With the beauty of the lake and the unique simple and chic buildings, it gives people a fresh and elegant feeling. Standing on the top of the mountain, the statue is 18.83 meters tall, with a base of 3 meters. The whole body of the statue is made of bronze and weighs 133 tons. The left hand holds the wordless heavenly script, the right hand holds the whip and the apricot yellow flag, a wisp of long beard, and looks ahead to plan strategies. It is the largest bronze statue of Jiang Taigong in the world. The long pavilions and corridors are built by the waterfall pool and between the cliffs. The smog lingers day and night, looming and looming. They are near water instead of water, like land instead of land. Inside the corridor is the fishing pool of Taigong mountain. Here, you can not only avoid the wind and rain, but also go fishing. You can experience Jiang Taigong's feeling of "sitting on the Diaoyutai in spite of the storm".

Main attractions

Zhengshanmen

It is one of the common landscape construction techniques in Chinese Classical Gardens: frame view, which integrates the real mountains, water, bamboo and stone into the picture frame to make a moving picture. The front gate is 9 meters high and is the top of the mountain with double eaves. It has three wide faces. The middle gate is the main gate, and the two sides are the chambers, each with three eaves and three ridges. On the plaque, "Taigong mountain" is inscribed by Ms. Zhou Huijun, chairman of Shanghai Calligrapher Association and vice chairman of China Calligrapher Association. The handwriting is perfect for both hardness and softness.

Welcome performance

The performance is presented in the form of ancient costume by combining the characters in the list of gods with the aesthetic ideas of modern people. The purpose is to reflect the ancient culture of Shangzhou period and welcome the tourists to visit Taigong mountain in this special way.

Stele Pavilion

Through the gate, straight up, you can see an antique square shaking arch Pavilion standing at the end of the steps, blocking the way. There is a stone tablet in the pavilion, which obscures the sight of visitors and makes people confused about the scenery ahead. This is another common method of landscape construction in Chinese Classical Gardens: landscape suppression. Chinese traditional art stresses implicitness, so landscaping will never let you see the best scenery as soon as you enter the door. The best scenery is often hidden behind, which is called "the desire to ascend, the restraint, the hiding before the exposure". After "Yijing", there is another cave, which makes people suddenly enlightened.

The stone tablet is engraved with a brief introduction of Jiang Taigong's life and all kinds of wonders during the construction of Taigong's holy land. First, before the site selection of the bronze statue, it was raining. Measure the bearing. The rain stops. When it's over, it rains again. Second, after the bronze statue of Taigong was set up, a wisp of smoke rose up from the top of his head until it disappeared. It is a collection of countless insects. Third, the camphor on the upper beam of Longxing Temple is as heavy as a pillar. On the beam, incense burning candle, heavy rain suddenly stop. After the ceremony, the rain is as heavy as ever. All these, the viewer can not help but sigh for a strange combination! Therefore, Taigong mountain is well-known as the Holy Land in Liyang. There are a lot of pilgrims who come here to worship on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year.

Wishing tree

It is said that Xuyuan tree was formerly a camphor tree (called Xiangzi tree by villagers). Due to its long history, its branches gradually withered and finally became a Tongxin tree. There was a woman who had a strange disease, but the medicine stone didn't work. One night, the immortal reported his dream, saying that he would sincerely visit the village land, and throw his colorful clothes on the Xiangzi tree to repay God, then he would recover. After doing so, the woman recovered. Since then, the story of the great camphor tree's success has spread from one generation to another, so the villagers nearby regard the tree as a God, and often light incense candles at its extended roots to worship for the protection of the gods. Every lunar new year, villagers tie red paper or mascot with stones and hang them on the top of trees to symbolize making wishes and praying. At the same time, this custom attracts tourists from all over the world. After praying, the talisman is tied with a rope and thrown on the Xiangzi tree to pray for good luck. Later, they called it a wishing tree. As the name suggests, it can make a wish come true. (the wishing tree in Taigong mountain is Sophora japonica)

Longxing Temple

Longxing Temple is located in the highest part of the scenic area, facing the lake. It was built in the Tang Dynasty and has a history of more than 1300 years. According to Liyang annals, "Longxing Temple is located on the East Bank of Shahe River, close to mountains and rivers. At that time, pilgrims gathered in the temple, and incense was very popular. Due to years of war, the millennium old temple was destroyed. In 2000, Longxing Temple was rebuilt on the original site of the scenic spot, where the "great mercy Guanyin Bodhisattva" was built. Pilgrims from all over the world came to pay homage on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year to pray for the safety, health, prosperity and wealth of the whole family.

Transit Hall

There are thirty-three incarnations of Guanyin in the transit hall, each of which represents a different meaning, so that the friends in the transit hall can "eliminate disasters, relieve adversity, bless and bring happiness", and solve all the troubles of all living beings.

Ping An bell

On the square of the main hall, there is a bronze bell, which suddenly leaps into our eyes. This reminds us of Zhang Ji's poem "wind Bridge Night Mooring" which is "Hanshan Temple outside Suzhou City, the bell rings to the passenger ship in the middle of the night". In Buddhism, there is a saying that morning bell and evening drum are auspicious when they hear the bell, and evil when they hear the drum. As a result, people can often hear the sound of the bell at dawn and dusk, forming a landscape of "hearing the bell on Mount Tai". Especially on New Year's Eve every year, the faithful men and women come to Taigong mountain to strike 108 bells. It is said that this is the number of 72 hours in December, the 24th Festival, and they pray to relieve their worries and eliminate 108 kinds of troubles of all living beings. As the saying goes: smell the bell, worry light, wisdom long, Bodhisattva life! Wish: a great success! Two hearts are imprinted with each other! the spring comes in full form! Four seasons peace! Five blessings and one life! Everything goes smoothly! ······
