The main landscapes are Tianzhu peak, Bijia peak, Ziling village, nantianguan, Riyue spring, Mochi spring, etc. To visit yuncui mountain, there was a stone road leading to Nantian temple. In the spring of 2000, in order to facilitate people's tourism, the government of Hongfanchi town invested more than 1 million yuan to build a 1700 meter long highway around the mountain, which directly leads to nantianguan. In this way, Nantian temple has become the first sight for people to visit yuncui mountain.

Development history

It was built on a circular hillside to the north of yuncui mountain. Qiu Chuji, the founder of Quanzhen dragon sect, once practiced here. His disciples built a temple here, which is called Nantian temple. At that time, it was one of the four famous temples (beijing baiyun temple, Jinan Changchun temple, Zoucheng Yishan Changqing temple, Hongfan Nantian Temple). This view was founded in 1248 and commemorated by a stele in 1311, the fourth year of the Yuan Dynasty,

It was rebuilt in Longqing period of Ming Dynasty.

Main attractions

The main buildings are Yuhuang Pavilion, Penglai fairy courtyard, pingxu Pavilion, Changchun Pavilion, Zhenwu temple, Sanzhen temple, theater, grandstand, etc.

The nantianguan building complex covers an area of about 3600 square meters. The main building is divided into four courtyards, forming a "Tian" shaped structure. The western half of Yuhuang Pavilion, Penglai fairy courtyard and Changchun Pavilion face each other from north to south. In the eastern part, the Sanzhen temple and Zhenwu temple are connected. Yuhuangge is located in the south facing north, with three East-West rooms, arched doors and square windows. The walls are built of large bluestone, covered with small gray tiles, and decorated with carved brick pheasant tails on the ridge top and eaves. Inside is a statue of the Jade Emperor.

Ten meters to the north of Yuhuangge is Penglai fairy house. The main building in the courtyard is the Changchun Pavilion, with two floors facing south. Stone steps are built at the South and east end of the pavilion, which can reach the second floor. There are three stone bungalows on the west side of the pavilion. On the bottom floor of the pavilion, there is a gate in the middle of the north and the south, the Penglai fairy courtyard in Nantong and the theater stand in Beitong.

In the courtyard of nantianguan, there are more than 10 stone tablets erected in yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, which mostly record the scenery of yuncui mountain and the rise and fall of nantianguan. Among them, it is recorded that "yuncui mountains and valleys are beautiful, and you can see them like emeralds. The green trees are overcast, the cliffs are uneven and listed, and the steep mountains are circling and lingering." On the west side of the temple, there is a stone tablet named "tianguanji of yuncui mountain" built in 1311.

The stele is 2.4 meters high and 1.2 meters wide, with a dragon head. This stele was written by Li Qian under the order of Hanlin Academy. The characters and carvings are very exquisite. On the east side, there is a stele built in 1593, the 21th year of Wanli period of Ming Dynasty, which is named "the New Jade Emperor Pavilion in Tianzhu Temple of yuncui mountain". The stele is 2.4 meters high and 1 meter wide, with the head of turtle and dragon. Due to careful writing, Meng Yimai wrote Zhuan ER and Qiao Xueshi Shudan. Because they were all Jinshi of the same Dynasty, they were also called sanjinshi tablet.

View of the tree shade, spring flow, fresh and quiet. Among them, four ancient trees are very eye-catching, two Kai trees in the East and two persimmon trees in the west, with luxuriant branches and leaves. The legend was planted at the beginning of the construction of the concept, which means "cool world".

Yuhuangge and Penglai fairy house

Yuhuangge and Penglai fairy courtyard face each other from north to south, and the South courtyard is about 3 meters higher than the north courtyard. This section of the cliff is built with block stones. There is an arched cave in the middle of the cliff, which is laifuquan Huiyang cave, also known as Changchun cave. The cave faces north from the south. There are two spring pools in the middle of the South half of the cave, namely the Sun Moon Spring. Yuequan is in the South and Riquan is in the north. The two springs are adjacent but not connected. Yuequan is covered with a crescent shaped hollow stone slab, while Riquan is covered with a stone slab with a round hole in the middle, so it gets its name.

The scale of Sanzhen temple and Zhenwu temple in the East is similar to that in the West.

Bijiafeng

Out of the South sky view, along the dense forest of mountain road southbound about 1 km, through the shade, you can see Tianzhu peak, standing in awe. However, the Bijia peak on the north side of Tianzhu peak is also a rare scenic spot. The so-called Bijia peak is still named after three stone walls standing side by side, high, medium and low, which are similar to the Bijia.

After seeing Bijia peak and Tianzhu peak, it really feels like there is a mountain outside the mountain.

Tianzhu peak

Tianzhu peak, the highest point on yuncui mountain, is 474.9 meters above sea level. At the top of the mountain stands a steep rock, which is more than 500 meters long and 30 meters high. The cliff is steep. It can be said that it is "cut into four sides, and the wall stands ten thousand Ren.". It is also known as "Yinfeng" because it is square like seal. Local people see it as a folk oil basket, also known as the "oil basket village". In the Ming Dynasty, Yu Shenxing, a scholar of Dongge University, inscribed it as "Tianzhu peak", which means lifting the sky. From a distance, it looks like a stone pillar standing in the vast sea of clouds. When people come near Tianzhu peak, they will forget the fatigue of mountaineering, be infected by its majestic power, and suddenly feel inspired and fearless. On the cliff to the north of the peak, you can see the three big characters of "Tianzhu peak" written by Yu Shenxing Shudan. Each character is one meter square and bold. Yu Shenxing praised this peak: "climb up to the top of Cuiwei mountain, cut off the isolated peak, and hang in the battle. The six dragons on the wall return to the day, forming a pillar against the blue sky. Cloud window dawn drop dantai rain, bird path clear fly purple Pavilion smoke. Daiyue mountains are like ten thousand horses, and clouds are always connected from the West.

There is only one place to go up and down to Tianzhu peak. This passage is a natural stone crevice, located on the west side of the peak. The first explorer chiseled both sides of the crevice into a platform for later generations to climb. The lower part of the crevice is exposed and enters the interior after ascending for more than 10 meters, which is similar to a shaft. Climbing out of the shaft, if you see the blue sky again, your vision will be broadened. Here, you can only use one person's limbs at the same time. It's really a critical juncture of "one man blocking the pass, ten thousand men can't open it.". The peak is a narrow ridge from north to south, about 10 meters wide from east to west and about 100 meters long from north to south. There are smooth square stones, stone cities with different shapes and simple stone houses on the peak. Standing on the peak, looking up: blue sky, reach out; overlooking: white clouds flying in the waist, there are eagles flying in the clouds, from time to time came the echo of the song; looking far: the Yellow River is like a belt, the lake (Dongping Lake) water is like a mirror. Close to Dazhai mountain, Ziling village is connected by undulating peaks. Green trees all over the mountains, green fields like the waves of the sea, terraces picturesque. At this time, this scene makes people relaxed and happy, infatuated, really have the feeling of "infinite scenery in the dangerous peak".

Ziling Village

On the west side of the giant rock of tianzhufeng, there are four big characters of "Da Kong Wang fo" and other small characters in the Northern Dynasty. 1500 meters to the south of Tianzhu peak, you can see Ziling village. Ziling is Yan Ziling in the Eastern Han Dynasty. "Cihai" records, "Yan Guang, Zi Ling, born in Yuyao, Kuaiji, seldom traveled with Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu. After Xiu became emperor, Guang changed his name and lived in seclusion. Liu Xiu sent people to interview him and called him to Beijing to give advice to doctor Lu. No, I'll retire. Yan Ziling lived in seclusion at the south end of yuncui mountain, so he was named Ziling village. Ziling village is 16 meters higher than the surrounding hillside. Only the southeast gate can go up and down. The top of the village is about 10000 square meters. There are many places of interest on the top, such as the mountain temple, grandma temple, and many ancient stone houses, just like villas, which are very simple and elegant. It is said that Yan Guang was buried here after his death, and Ziling tomb was in Ziling village. On both sides of Ziling village, the abrupt cliff looks like a huge old man with clear face and all men. Maybe it is the incarnation of Yan Ziling.
