There is a famous mountain in the suburbs of Hangzhou, which has become a popular summer vacation destination

Where should I take my kids during summer vacation? Some take their children to the library, some take their children to the museum, some take their children to the university campus, some take their children to the martyrs' cemetery, some take their children to famous mountains and rivers, and some take their children to theme parks! Especially famous mountains and rivers, which can broaden horizons, promote physical exercise, enhance cardiopulmonary function, and improve the body's resistance. They also train children's perseverance and determination to overcome difficulties, which is a very beneficial thing! So the question is, if you want to take your children out for a trip during the summer vacation, where should you go? It’s best to have fewer people and bright spots! I recommend everyone to come to the "Emperor's Famous Mountain" hidden in the suburbs of Hangzhou. After reopening, it has become a top summer vacation tourist destination! What I want to talk about is Tianzhong Mountain in Hangzhou. It is named Tianzhong Mountain because of its long shape that looks like a bell from a distance! Why is Tianzhong Mountain called "Emperor's Famous Mountain"? It turns out that in history, Qin Shihuang passed by Tianzhong Mountain to pay homage to Dayu's Mausoleum; Wu Emperor Sun Quan once trained sailors in Tianzhong Mountain; Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was defeated but saved in Tianzhong Mountain and was granted the title of Protector of the Country Eternal Life; Qing Emperor Qianlong, accompanied by Dong Bangda, visited Tianzhong Mountain and personally bestowed the imperial plaque "Famous Name and Pure Virtue" here; in addition, Su Dongpo, Zhu Xi, Liu Ji, Huang Gongwang and other literati also left many excellent poems and paintings here. There are also many legends circulating among the local people, such as: the ascension to heaven in Xitai of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the master's sitting in Dongtai, taking shelter from the rain beside the Dongbin Cliff, Yuanzhang's survival, and Guanyin bringing dead snails back to life. It can be said that Tianzhong Mountain has a deep connection with the emperor, and gradually some people call this mountain "the emperor's famous mountain"! Tianzhong Mountain was once free. Starting from April 23, 2023, after a six-month scenic spot image and strategic brand enhancement, it now meets everyone again with a new look! Friends who are visiting for the first time can follow the route: Tourist Service Center - Tianzhong Gate - Zhuanma Pond - Zhuanma Pavilion - Zhikuang Pond - Shenxian Stone House - Shenlong Pond - Tianzhong Temple. The whole journey is about 2.2 kilometers and takes 3.5-4 hours. On the way, you can see Tianzhong Mountain, with tree-lined paths, winding stone steps, springs and streams, beautiful natural scenery and many historical sites. The mountains and rivers on both sides are beautiful, with natural beauty, clear springs and gurgling streams, and lush bamboo and trees. There are two high mountain basins in the east and west on the top of the mountain, which are dozens of acres wide and surrounded by mountains, just like the Peach Blossom Spring. The thousand-year-old Guanyin temple known as "Xiaozhu" - Tianzhong Zen Temple is located here, which is well-preserved and prosperous. There are three highlights to focus on: First, there is the Zhuanma Pond. The water in the pond is clear and bright, so it is called the Zhuanma Pond because it is located below the Zhuanma Pavilion. On the rocks around Zhuanmatan, there is a deep horseshoe print, which is said to be the mark left by the pursuing Yuan army. Second, there is Shenlongtan. The stream water rushes down from the upstream, layer by layer, just like a dragon descending from the sky, swooping into the pool, so it is called Shenlongtan. Although the pond is not big, it is quite impressive. Shenlongtan has been a place where local people pray for rain since ancient times, and even today some locals still come to the pond to burn incense and pray. Third, Tianzhong Zen Temple, formerly known as Chongfu Temple, also known as Tianzhong Temple, and also known as the ancient Tianzhong Temple. It was built by the monk Dao Xin during the Yuan Dynasty (approximately between 1341 and 1368 AD). According to legend, in ancient times, on the 27th day of every October, dragon lanterns, lions, and bamboo horses would gather in the temple, and thousands of people would come to pay homage. After strolling around, you can feel the tranquility and remoteness here, as if you are "sitting in the courtyard facing the flowers, enjoying the cool summer breeze"! Especially the couplet in the temple: "An ancient temple is hidden in the pure land in the mountains, and the prosperity outside the door is the result of hard work." The words reflect dialectical thinking and are full of philosophy, which makes people feel quite interesting while visiting! Tips for visiting Tianzhong Mountain in Hangzhou: The ticket is 35 yuan, free for children under 6 years old. It is located next to Dapeng Mountain, Chunjiang Street, Fuyang District, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province. Take bus 634 and get off at [Tianzhongshan Road Intersection] station. Self-driving and chartered tours are recommended. It is recommended to travel in the morning when there are not many people and it is great for taking pictures. The mountain road is winding, so pay attention to the surrounding environment when taking pictures to avoid falling! Do you want to visit this attraction?
