Qianfo Mountain is not only a pure land for Buddhism, but also a blessed place for Taoism. There is Laojun peak in the north of the five ridges, and Laojun hall was built on the peak. Most Taoist temples are located in the Sun Bin village across the gorge from Laojun peak. According to the stele, there were xuandu temple, Sanqing hall, jiutianweifang, Notre Dame hall and grand stage. The monastic caves are row after row, with a single room, a suite of rooms, and a two-story partition. Monks are separated by hierarchy. At that time, "in the morning, the bells and drums will be rung, the incense and the tripod will be burned, and in the evening, the Scriptures will be chanted, and the Chinese platform will be worshipped." the people with swords in their hair all over the mountain have a wonderful way, and the gods will surpass the dust, just like the fairyland of Penglai.

The opposite of Sun Bin village is Guan Zhongfeng, which was once the place of Yan and Zhao in the spring and Autumn period and Warring States period. It is said that Guizi Valley, Sun Bin, Pang Juan, Guan Zhong and others once lived in seclusion here, taught art and art of war, wrote books, and left many beautiful and moving legends. Zhang Sheng, the magistrate of Datong in the Ming Dynasty and later promoted to supervisor of Shanxi Province, inscribed "yuezong" for qianfuling in 1485. His calligraphy is very valuable and powerful.

Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism coexist on the Qianfo Mountain, with Qianfo cave in the front and sunpang two ancient villages in the back. You can see the emerald of Nanfeng from afar and quzhijiu Bay of Tang Dynasty from afar. You can visit the moon of pines and the wind in the mountains. Wangquan under the gate is close to the steep cliff, and clouds lock the tower on the ridge. She carries 5000 years of Chinese history and culture.
