YuJing
Peak
Common people give the peak another name Guanpingjian, denoting the
peak piercing high upward into sky like a needle. There are Chinese
characters inscribed along the top stone body surface. The top place
is around 10 square meters wide, much similar to a chessboard. It
is heard the great Taoism master Lao Tzi once played chess with several
immortals here. The whole YuJing peak body looks so imposing that
many visitors are afraid to move around for all cliffs drop directly
almost hundreds meters deep. But sometimes the waving clouds and peak
points seem to be near at hand yet no one dear stretch out hand to
feel them for the legs are shaking. When it is clear all around, the
deep green peaks and the wonderful scenery bewilder your eyes and
it seems you are now an immortal walking upon clouds.

Sanqign Temple
Sanqing Temple stations half way down the YuJing Peak. In
Eastern Jin Dynasty, GeHong, accompanied
by Li Shangshu, constructed a shabby
house here practicing alchemitry. When time elapsed to reach
Tang Dynasty, Lao Tzi Temple was built and the name of Sanqing
Blessings Places came into being. The statues of Shi Xianjun,
Immortal-ge, Li Shangshu, Golden Virgin Boy and Golden Virgin
Girl gradually displayed in the temple in Yuan Dynasty. In
Qing Dynasty (1813 A.C), the temple got on fire and collapsed.
Later Taoists used the donated money and material to rebuild
it by the size remained small in comparison.

Taoist Deliverance Pagota
Taoist Deliverance Pagoda is located in front of Sanqing
Temple and near at right side. It is in fact an tomb of Taoist
Zan Biyun. The whole building looks grand and the construction
material is granites. The longitude is 30 meters and width
9.5 meters. Stone wall and stone gates surround the pagoda
and the tablet high up reads “Zan Biyun’s Relic
Hoard Place.” There lay 12 stone steps before the tomb
and at the end of the steps lay the stone-latticed sacrifice
platform. Behind the platform lies the dome tomb.

| Python Peak. Python
Peak is located in the south of three highest peaks, facing
directly Goddess Peak. It rushes 120 meters high individually,
much like a python. The top and middle parts differ in size,
thus making a vivid posture imitating a python rushing forward.
It seems to get up upon its own legs so vigorously that you
will feel it can overcome all in an instant.

| Goddess Peak It is the ultimate
scenery sight in Mount Sanqing and stays south of three peaks
facing directly Yujing
Peak. Viewing it from all perspective, it always looks like
a beautiful shy girl, plump, small enticing mouth, delicate
round chin and high nose ridge, sitting cross legged meditating
there for thousands of years. There is a folk tale circulating
among general people saying the girl was a daughter of an
old herb picker. She informed the local people of the news
that the Emperor Pear had a plan transforming the Mount Sanqing
into an ocean and the local people into fish. As a punishment,
the girl was transformed into a stone peak.

| Peak in Fairy Land
This peak presents itself west of the Yan Long Peak, piercing
straightly upward into sky. The peak body around is of nothing
but cliffs which falls hundreds meters deep. So, no people
ever climbed up. Yet, attached their roots to the stones apertures
many pine trees pose their elegant sculptures facing waving
clouds, moist and wind.

Heaven Gate Peak
Located northwest of Yujing Peak, facing LingGui Peak, Heaven
Gate Peak gets its name due to the peak-formed gate. It is
1568 meters in altitude and because it is very difficult to
reach the peak the ancient people left Chinese characters
upon the large stone wall saying “Heaven Ladder.”
High up at the top is a level granite terrace around a hundred
square meters. Projecting your eyesight into far off you can
enjoy lots of enchanting sceneries.
