National Day Review-Kongtong Mountain, Pingliang, Gansu.

The ancients never deceived me! ! ! Kongtong Mountain, the "No. 1 Taoist Mountain in China", is located in Pingliang City, Gansu Province. It overlooks Xi'an in the east, Lanzhou in the west, Baoji in the south, and Yinchuan in the north. It is the fortress of the ancient Silk Road's west exit from Guanzhong. It has existed since ancient times. It is known as "the first mountain in the West", "the wonder of West Town", and "the beauty of Kongtong Mountain is the most beautiful in the world". Legend has it that Emperor Xuanyuan once visited Kongtong Mountain in person and asked the wise man Guangchengzi for advice on how to govern the country and maintain good health. The First Emperor of Qin and Emperor Wu of Han also visited Mount Kongtong in admiration. Sima Qian, Du Fu, Bai Juyi, Lin Zexu, Tan Si and other literati also praised Kongtong Mountain in their writings. It is now a national key scenic spot. I personally recommend taking a car to the highest point and then walking down. If you have any questions, you can ask the Taoist priests to answer your questions.
