Qionghai Lushan Scenic Area

Lushan is born on the bank of Qionghai, but this Lushan is not that Lushan. Lushan is located 5 kilometers south of Xichang City. It is adjacent to the mirror-like Qionghai in the east, the winding and beautiful Anning River in the west, the ancient city and the growing new city in the north, and the towering Luoji Mountain in the south. It is not tall, not tall, not majestic, but with the momentum of 'half a wall supporting the sky, Ningcheng lined with screen paintings', it constitutes one of the famous scenic spots in southwestern Sichuan, known as 'the best place in the south of the sky'. The forest here is green as emerald, with a variety of rare animals and plants. The ancient trees on the mountain are towering, especially the pine trees. The ancients used 'pine wind and water moon' to describe the scenery of Lushan Qionghai, that is, the pine of Lushan, the wind of Anning River, the water of Qionghai, and the moon of Xichang. The small path in the forest winds and winds, and the green pines and cypresses standing on the side of the road lead the tourists into the mountain and reach the top of the mountain. There are 12 ancient temples built in the Han, Tang, Ming, and Qing dynasties, such as Guangfu Temple, Mengduan Temple, Sanjiao Temple, Guanyin Pavilion, Wangmu Palace, Yuhuang Palace, Qingyang Palace, and Wuzu Temple. The cultural landscape composed of the existing 9 temples perfectly combines religious cultural tourism and mountain climbing leisure tourism, attracting a steady stream of tourists. The temples of Lushan are built according to the mountain situation. Although each temple has its own courtyard, they are staggered with each other, dependent on each other, and look at each other. The temples hear each other's bells and drums, and the temples respond to each other's music. Under the guidance of the regular stone steps, climbing all the way, entering and exiting the temple, flowing like clouds and flowing water, stopping and walking, walking and stopping. Enter the temple to smoke a scent, and leave the temple to dye a green. The chanting sound is intermittent, the bird's voice is intermittent, and the cicada's voice is intermittent. The fairy world, the Brahman world, and the natural world can be tasted in detail; heaven, the Buddha country, and the natural world can be appreciated alternately, which is particularly interesting. The main peak of Lushan, Shamao Xiang, is 2317 meters above sea level, with a relative height difference of about 800 meters from the surface of Qionghai, and about 8 kilometers from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. Walking up the mountain, moving a step is a scene; leisurely sightseeing and exercise, it is refreshing.
