The first mountain of Taoism is worth visiting, the scenic spot is well planned, and the signs are clearly marked. Before departure, I made a strategy. From the east gate to Xiangshan, I went to Zhongtai. There were many landscapes in the way. Some Ming Dynasty buildings in the imperial city were worth seeing. Then Zhongtai took a car to the east gate and walked slowly for more than 4 hours.

I didn't report expectations. I didn't expect to climb the mountain gate. After I climbed the mountain gate, I was sloppy. The scenery on the mountain was pleasant, the layout of the temple and the preserved monuments were admirable. The ladder tested the physical strength, step by step, and felt the feeling of looking out in the mountains.
The overall environment is very good, the scenery is very beautiful, it is worth climbing. Taoist holy place, it is also very convenient to go up the mountain, there is a car to go directly to Zhongtai or climb the top. Very good for people with poor physical strength. But the road signs on the mountain are unclear and clear, and they are not matched with the map. Many tourists also doubt that it is recommended to optimize and rectify.
A mountain worth experiencing. Just catching up with the rainy day, the misty rain Mengli took the car to Zhongtai, then went to Dongtai, then returned to the ladder, Huangcheng, and finally went to Xiangshan, and returned by Jingjiao car. If it is sunny, it will be hiking down the mountain. The mountain temples are beautiful, the grass is lush, the mountains are winding, the paths are quiet, and you can experience the ghosts and magic of nature.
The first mountain of the west debut is well-deserved. It is worth looking forward to visiting. Each building and sculpture is a treasure of real history and art, and it is the complete existence of the Taoist system. The vicissitudes of history and the atmosphere of Taoist cultural heritage are worth in-depth experience and understanding.
