Introduction to the top ten attractions in Xuancheng

Xuancheng has a history of more than 2,000 years since its establishment as a city in the Western Han Dynasty. I saw that Xuancheng is actually quite influential and is also the famous hometown of the Four Treasures of the Study, China. It not only has a profound cultural history, but also has one of the best natural landscapes. Let’s take a look at what attractions Xuancheng has to offer.

The main peak of the scenic spot can reach 317 meters above sea level. Famous scholars in history once left poems here. The romantic poet Li Bai said: "Only Jingting Mountain". Later, more followers of Li Bai set foot here.

Now Jingting Mountain is a good place for locals to climb and enjoy the scenery. The vast tea gardens and fresh bamboo forests here, on the top of the high mountain, bring the beautiful scenery below the mountain into our eyes.

All buses stop at Jingtingshan East Gate Plaza (parking lot) on Zhaoting North Road near Shuiyangjiang Avenue.

There is also a statue of Li Bai on the square, 2 kilometers away from the official climbing steps. The twin towers of Guang Temple, slightly tilted, are the landmarks of Jingting Mountain. They were built in the 3rd year of Shaosheng's reign in the Northern Song Dynasty.
