Scenic spot introduction:

Qinyuan Lingkong Mountain, formerly known as Jiuding Mountain, was later renamed "Lingkong Mountain" due to Buddhist activities. It combines the dangers of Huashan Mountain, the beauty of Lushan Mountain, the wonders of Huangshan Mountain, and the majesty of Taishan Mountain. It exudes a free and ethereal ethereal charm. It is praised by countless tourists who come here for sightseeing as "a poem and painting created by the uncanny workmanship of nature." "World" is an ancient famous Buddhist mountain in Qinyuan County, Shanxi Province. Lingkong Mountain is between 1,600 and 1,850 meters above sea level, with the highest peak at 1,953 meters above sea level. The geology of the mountain rock is Cambrian limestone. Due to strong tectonic movements, the crust has mutated, large areas of bedrock are exposed, and ravines are cut deeply. Three ravines intersect in the center of the mountain, forming a strange and dangerous deep valley. The mountain rocks are covered with Quaternary old loess, which is suitable for plant growth and has sufficient rainfall, so the trees are lush and green, and mountain flowers and wild grasses are everywhere. There are many caves in the mountains, the dangerous peaks are beautiful, quiet and strange, there are many pavilions, high-hanging palaces, the bells in Shengshou Temple are ethereal, and the empty valleys echo. Lingkong Mountain is located in Wulongchuan Township in the northwest of Qinyuan, about 40 kilometers away from the county seat.
