Enjoy the slow time in the mountains - Taishan

In the mountain road with overlapping peaks and hidden pines and cypresses, winding up along the stream, the children around are happily playing water fights, accompanied by laughter, the sound of the stream, admiring the beautiful red leaves, quiet mountain pavilions, the thousand-year-old golden coffin in the mysterious underground palace, the beautiful Longquan Temple... The name "Taishan" first appeared in the Song Book by Shen Yue (a literary scholar of the Southern Dynasty). It is said that during the Five Dynasties, there was a mountain man named "Shi Gendang" who was famous for his bravery in the Northern Han Dynasty, and thus became well-known. Even this mountain became famous, and the mountain took the phonetic meaning of "Taishan Shi Gendang", hence the name "Taishan". "Taishan Longquan Temple", also known as Taishan Temple, originally named Haotian Guan, was first built in the first year of Tang Jingyun (710), initially for Taoism. It was destroyed during the Jin and Yuan periods, rebuilt in the early Ming Dynasty, and changed to a Buddhist temple. The upper courtyard is the Guanyin Pavilion rebuilt in the Ming Dynasty, and the lower courtyard Daxiong Baodian is a two-story pavilion-style building, with Guanyin Bodhisattva on the lower floor and Sakyamuni Buddha on the upper floor.
