Scenic spot introduction:
The Gushe Mountain has crisscrossed ravines and strange landforms, and can be called "the largest canyon in southwestern Shanxi". This mountain is named after the legend of the goddess Gushe shooting tigers for the people. It is a branch of Luliang Mountain. The mountains here are steep, with towering cliffs, dense caves, surrounded by pines and cypresses, and lush forests. In the elegant environment, the two fairy caves in the north and south echo each other, with a trench as deep as 50 meters lying in the middle. The two caves are separated by the deep trench and cannot be crossed. The Taoist temple buildings in Xiandong were first built during the Wude period of the Tang Dynasty. Later, some Buddhist temples were built to mix with the original buildings, making Gushe Mountain a gathering place for three religions and nine streams. Gushe Mountain is located in Gushe Village, Jindian Town, Yaodu District, Linfen City, 35 kilometers west of Linfen City, with an area of 40 square kilometers. Gushe has beautiful scenery, pleasant seasons, and large areas of virgin forest showing the original style of nature. The sun rises and the forest opens, the clouds return and the caves are silent, the sun rises and the evening falls, and the weather is endless.Attractions distribution:
