Shanmen

Xiangong mountain is very steep, only one stone gate in the West and one stone gate in the north. The north gate is called "Xiaoai gate"; the west gate is the main gate, namely "Xianmen". In 1998, the scenic area was re planned. The "immortal gate" was moved down to the old earth temple, and another archway gate was built, which was called "nine immortals gate". The "immortal cave" was built on the right side of the old site.

Fengshan cave

It is also called "Shuangji Temple" and commonly known as "Xiangong Temple". It worships the nine immortals of he family and is a holy land for worshippers of Xiangong. Fengshan cave was built in the Qi period of the Southern Dynasty. At that time, people built rock buildings, practiced Taoism and alchemy, helped the world and saved the people outside the ancient rock on Xiangong mountain. It was called "Fengshan cave" and commonly known as "Shuangji Temple". The temple, 11.5 meters deep and 12.8 meters wide, has three rooms wide and three rooms deep, covering an area of 146 square meters. It is a composite structure of wood, brick and stone, with double eaves and a peak.

Built in the Five Dynasties period, baishuiyan, which has been restored several times, is a Buddhist temple. It mainly worships the Buddha statues of Sakyamuni, pharmacist and Mitha III. It also worships Guanyin, Maitreya, Manjusri and Puxian Bodhisattva. It has 18 Arhats on both sides and has lived in the temple for thousands of years.

The Chaotian Pavilion, built in the same era as baishuiyan, is a Confucian temple and a pilgrimage place for scholars in the old days. "Chaotian Pavilion", also known as "Chaotian Temple", has been revived and abolished for many times due to its long history. On October 10, 1996, it was rebuilt into a two-story Pavilion style double eaves glazed roof building with a depth of 13.4 meters and a width of 15.6 meters, covering an area of 209.05 square meters and a total construction area of 418.08 square meters.

The second floor is the exhibition room of xiangongshan cultural relics, which displays the relevant cultural relics and photos of xiangongshan.

Chumiyan

Behind Fengshan cave, there is a big rock, named Chumi rock, between the lower layers of the rock and to the West. It is said that in the early years, there was a small hole between the stones, from which rice could flow out automatically every day. According to the number of monks and pilgrims in the temple on that day, the rice would flow out automatically to eat. Later, there was a greedy monk in the temple. He wanted to get more rice to satisfy his own pocket, so he used a steel drill to drill a hole in the rice. As a result, the steel drill could not be pulled out by stone tongs like casting, and the hole was sealed. Monks have long been nonexistent, and steel rods are still there. Chumiyan is like a capital exclamation mark, which enlightens tourists to think deeply. During the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, master Puxian, abbot of baishuiyan, wrote a poem for this purpose, which was engraved on the top of "chumiyan": "once upon a time, the rice stone at the edge of the rock was like this. It is suspected that it was another day in Lingshan, and it was passed down in the Five Dynasties from then on. Now, what year is the empty lock waiting for?"

Immortal footprints

Inside the gate of fengshanji small pass, there are two footprints on a 2-meter-square rock, one left and one right, 35 cm long and 14 cm wide, with five distinct toes, which are called "immortal footprints". It's said that it's the footprints left by the gods when they step on it.

Fairy chessboard

Camellia sinensis

In the cliff at the top of baishuiyan, there is a natural tea tree. It is about 1 meter high and grows up by rain and dew. It has luxuriant branches and leaves and is evergreen all the year round. It is said that one piece of tea is picked and several bowls of hot water are made. Drinking it can refresh the mind and eliminate diseases. It is called "immortal tea". Because of the difficulty in picking, tourists can only find the fallen leaves under the trees. This immortal tea has been regarded as a treasure in the mountains for hundreds of years.

She Village

When you are in the village, the mountain wind blows and the sea of clouds is surging.

Sun watching platform

There is also a place on the mountain where "HuiDang mausoleum is on the top, and all the mountains are small" - the sun watching platform. "Sun watching platform" was inscribed by Chen Da, Minister of Taichang temple in the Qing Dynasty. The platform is two meters square. In the early morning, standing on the platform, overlooking the East, you can see a red sun leaping out of the sea, rising slowly, and the sea and sky shining together. There is a poem in wanjichang of the Qing Dynasty: "climb Luo to find the way of birds, invade the peak of the morning, the sea is covered with Xia Qi, and the sky is connected with wave light. Mountain sky alone sunset, cloud net a star hanging, once said and Yu, phase urge day after year It expresses the feeling of watching the sunrise here.

Tibetan fir well

Among the rocks on the hillside about 50 meters outside the gate of the small pass in the north of the temple, there is a well called "Cangshan well". It is 10 meters deep and 1.65 meters in diameter. It is used by monks and Taoists in the mountains to wash clothes and draw water. It is said that during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Southern Song Dynasty, the temple was damaged and rebuilt, and there was a lack of fir at the foot of the mountain. It was extremely difficult to carry huge timber up the mountain from the foot of the mountain. The monks are deeply worried. However, his nine immortals were moved by their enthusiasm for building the temple. The nine immortals used their magic to store the fir trees in the well, and then fished them out one by one, so that the temple could be repaired smoothly. The well was rebuilt in 1985.
