Longhunshan

Longhun mountain, 1577 meters above sea level, is the branch of Cailiang mountain. "Spectacular" is written on the cliff stone on the hillside.

These two characters are about 1.67 meters high, and the font is vigorous and powerful, which can be compared with the "spectacular" stone carvings of Xuankong Temple in Hunyuan. Here, the signature date of "spectacular" is "the 25th year of the Wanli reign of the Ming Dynasty". According to reports, many years ago, the old people in the village read out the contents of traditional Chinese characters on the wall, to the effect that: in the 25th year of the Wanli reign of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial censor and soldiers of the imperial court wrote a letter to the Datong government to urge grain and grass. The officials of the Datong government led the imperial censor of the imperial court to visit here. Seeing that the mountains were high and the mountains were full of Buddhas and pavilions, the imperial censor of the imperial court happily wrote the word "spectacular". In order to spread the ink treasure to later generations, the Datong government officials asked the masons to engrave it on the stone wall.

Despite hundreds of years of wind and rain, the cliff inscriptions of the Ming Dynasty still stand on longhun mountain in Yanggao County. In the distance, the temple looms in the jungle, which is full of ancient flavor. "Such a beautiful environment, if only the relevant departments could explore it well." In the face of years of beauty hidden in boudoir unknown regret, Yanggao County longhun mountain villagers said.

In addition to cliff carvings, there is Qingyun temple on the mountain. In addition, there is a natural cave, about 4 to 5 meters deep, with smooth walls. In the left cave, there are artificial steps for climbing, and some of the steps are engraved with characters. Murals and some precious inscriptions can be seen in the right cave, on which is written "mending in the 23rd year of Jiajing reign of Ming Dynasty". It is said that the building on longhun mountain was ordered by Li Shimin in Tang Dynasty when he passed Yanggao during his eastward expedition to Koguryo. It is a building integrating Buddhism and Taoism. The top of the mountain is the Taoist temple, and the cave on the hillside is the Buddha Pavilion.
