"Qiongtai Twin Towers" are two beautiful peaks standing on Qiongtai Peak. The ancients used the two towers in front of the palace to describe this scene. The "Northern Tower" is high and overhanging, while the "Southern Tower" is slightly shorter and adjacent to the cliff. Both peaks have stacks of strange rocks and rosettes. When the setting sun shines, "ten thousand jade and ten thousand mirrors are covered with bright colors" and "the colorful clouds cover each other." The light of the beautiful trees illuminates each other." The two towers are like stars arching over the moon towards the Qiongtai. There is a strange granite stone under the "Double Que". From a distance, it looks like a condor with its face facing backward, as if it were flying and perching on its back.

The Baizhang Valley is one of the main attractions in the Tiantai Mountain Scenic Area. Its geological type is an exposed granite landform formed by volcanoes. It was exposed on the surface during the third invasion in the late Yanshan Movement, and later formed a cliff under the action of geological structural faults. The unique and varied canyon landscape formed by deep valleys, rivers and cascading mountains on both sides is a major geographical feature of this scenic spot. Due to the erosion of the surface weathering crust, the rock mass is exposed on the surface, and the rock is spherically weathered, presenting a stone egg landform on some mountain tops, hillsides or at the bottom of valleys.

Beside the pool, a peak rises from the ground, standing very tall, which is Qiongtai Peak. There is a stone on the peak that looks like a chair. It is said that Tieguai Li comes to this chair to admire the bright moon every Mid-Autumn Festival night, so it is called "Immortal Seat". There is a mountain in front of Qiongtai, with two peaks facing each other and a flat top. It resembles the pavilions on both sides of the palace, so it is called "Double Que". On a night when the moon is bright in the sky, sit on a stone chair and look at the mountains under the moon, and fall into a dreamland of wonderland. This is where the name "Qiongtai Night Moon" comes from. There are also cliff stone carvings on Qiongtai Peak such as "Taiyue Wonders", "Xiujiatai Mountain" and "Penglai Wonderland". 4 kilometers southeast from Qiongtai is Tongbai Palace. After Tongbai built the reservoir, the original Tongbai Palace sank to the bottom of the water. Now it is the reconstruction of the original Minghe Temple. Tongbai Palace is a sacred place in the southeast of China's Taoism. Taoist books call Tongbai Palace the "Golden Courtyard Cave Heaven".

The height of Baizhangya Waterfall is about 20 meters. It falls into Longtan in two levels. The height of the first-level waterfall is about 8 meters, and the second-level waterfall is about 12 meters. The water volume is large and the water quality is good. The first-level waterfall falls vertically with a hollow lower end, while the second-level waterfall rushes down the cliff with a slope of about 80 degrees. The Baizhang Cliff Waterfall rushes into the Longtan from a height of 20 meters. The sound is like a wind and thunder in an urn, and the splashing water droplets are like pearls. The water flow is controlled by Yutu Mountain, and flows out of the mouth of the pond in a sharp bend and rushes into the Baizhangtan. Longtan covers an area of ??about 70 square meters. The water is green and surrounded by cliff caves. The largest cave is about 20 square meters and contains stone tables, stone chairs and turtle stones.

Luoyan Park is located in front of Luoyanju, Shifeng Street, Tiantai County, and is the junction of Sanmao Creek and Shifeng Creek. It was originally one of the eight scenic spots in Tiantai Mountain - Qingxi Luoyan. It is said that this scenery was the most spectacular during the Tang Dynasty. Luoyan geese lived in pairs. When sleeping, their heads and necks were intertwined. If one died, the other would become a lone goose. There are generally more geese in the spring and autumn, numbering in the tens of thousands, and they feed on wheat. Due to various factors such as man-made destruction, environmental changes, and urban expansion, the Luoyan went extinct. Qingxi Luoyan also declined about 25-26 years ago. Therefore, it is now built as a triangular-shaped Luoyan Park with an artificial lake next to it. It was built in the first half of 1997 and is used for tap water.

The Big Black Cave in Tiantai Mountain is also known as Ci'en Temple Cave. Ci'en Temple Cave is located in Yantan Mountain 200 meters southwest of Yantan Village, Shifeng Street, Tiantai County. It is a group of artificially dug caves. The entire cave group is U-shaped and runs north-south. The cave has five floors, of which the fifth floor is above the surface, and the other floors are below the surface and are deep pools of water. The total area of ??the cave hall is about hundreds of thousands of square meters, and the area of ??each cave hall ranges from a few square meters to thousands of square meters. The number of cave halls is about thousands. The cave maintains a constant temperature all year round and is warm in winter and cool in summer, making it a good summer resort. According to local villagers' estimates, up to 3,000 people from nearby villages come here to escape the summer heat a day. The Yantanling mountain is made of tuff, which is a good building material. Local masons have been mining stones here since the Sui Dynasty, which has a history of nearly 1,400 years. In the 1990s, it was abandoned because the stone mining in the mountain was exhausted. The caves in the entire cave are mainly Cave No. 1, the Thousand People Chanting Buddha Hall, and the Dafa Hall, which are the three largest caves discovered so far in the cave. Cave No. 1 is located on the west side of the cave, 60 meters long, 60 meters deep, and 5 meters high, with a total area of ??approximately 3,600 square meters.

With a total area of ??4,000 square meters, it is the largest cave among the caves. The Dharma Hall is about 3,000 square meters. The entire cave has not been cleaned yet, so the cave is slightly narrow. Other caves are caves within caves, and some are connected to other caves by small holes of less than one square meter. Because only one layer of the caves is above the surface, many caves have become deep pools filled with water. The water in these deep pools is clear and the water temperature is around 0 degrees. Some deep pools are only connected to the surface by a thickness as wide as the mouth of a bowl. In the north cave there is a deep pool of about 100 square meters with a stone beam about 0.5 meters wide and 5 meters long in the center.

Taoyuan Chunxiao is a valley-type tourist destination made of granite. It is located in Baoxiang Village, Baihe Town, Tiantai County. It is one of the eight scenic spots in Tiantai. It is about 20 meters wide and 600 meters deep. Every spring, the valley is full of green trees and red flowers, and various birds gather here, creating a unique landscape with constant bird sounds, hence the name Taoyuan Spring Dawn. The valley is formed by the accumulation of many granite stones and is a narrow valley. The current landscape was formed due to mountain collapse and water erosion. Entering Taohuawu with Lixian Pavilion as the entrance, it is about 100 meters long and 12.5 meters wide. It is flanked by a narrow strip of mountains on both sides, running east-west. The stream flows through the valley and has never dried up. There is a deep dragon pond at the entrance, which is now Due to the construction of a reservoir upstream, the pond was filled with rocks. On the other side is the Lixian Pavilion, also known as the Yuxian Pavilion, which is dedicated to Liu Ruan and the two fairies.

According to legend, this is the place where the two fairies and Liu Ruan bid farewell. Mingyujian is a granite rock wall formed by long-term erosion by flowing water. The rock wall is inclined inward, 30 meters high and 12 meters wide, and is square in shape. The stream flows under the rock wall and makes an echo, like the sound of jade objects hitting each other. Hence the name. Another theory is that Zheng Zhidao, the magistrate of Tiantai County in the Song Dynasty, made a fuss about visiting this place and named it "Mingyu Stream". "Mingyu Stream" is connected to scenic spots such as "Fairy Bathtub" and "Taohuawu". It is surrounded by mountains and well covered by vegetation. The Fairy Bathtub is a natural pool with an average depth of about 1 meter and a maximum depth of 2 meters. The water is pure.

The entire scenic spot covers a total area of ??3 square kilometers and integrates nature and humanity. The scenic spot runs north-south, with nearly 20 scenic spots of various sizes distributed throughout the area. Qi Zhaonan, a famous writer from Tiantai in the Qing Dynasty, called it "Xiao Mingyan". The history of Longshan Scenic Area can be traced back to the Sui Dynasty, when the wise master lived here in seclusion. In memory of the wise master, later generations erected a two-meter-high statue on the west side of the Tathagata Ancient Cave. Longshan has rich historical and cultural connotations and is a key cultural relic protection unit in Tiantai County. At the entrance of the scenic spot, there is an imperial monument preserved from the Qianlong period. The monument is 1 meter wide and about 3 meters high. On the rock wall on the west side of the entrance is carved the word "Shengji" in Yue Fei's handwriting.

It is about 50 meters high and 0.5 meters wide. The entire waterfall is very slender, like a white chain hanging down. Tathagata Ancient Cave is located on the mountainside above the academy. It is a naturally formed cave with a width of 5.65 meters, a depth of 7 meters, and a height of 2.35 meters. Sakyamuni and his attendants are worshiped in the cave.

Next to the reservoir, there was originally Baiyun Nunnery, one of the seventy-two hairy tents in Tiantai Mountain. There is a temple 200 meters northwest from the reservoir called the Summit Temple. This temple was built in the Southern Song Dynasty and was built by local people to commemorate three veterans of the Song Dynasty who lived here in seclusion. It is said that the three ministers left Emperor Gaozong angrily because they were dissatisfied with the incompetence of the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty and came to Longshan, where they considered treating local people as a profession. During their days of seclusion, they saved many people. After their deaths, the people built temples to offer sacrifices to them. There are still two ancient cypress trees that are nearly 800 years old in the courtyard of the temple. The tree in the south is larger, with a diameter of 0.45 meters, a circumference of 1.17 meters, and a height of 5.65 meters. The north side is slightly smaller, with a tree diameter of 0.4 meters, a tree circumference of 1.05 meters, and a height of 5 meters.

5 Introduction to the main scenic spots on the rooftop

6. Shiliang Copper Pot Scenic Spot

Shiliang Copper Pot Scenic Spot The most famous ones are the "Shiliang Waterfall" with the waterfall passing through the Tiansheng Bridge, the Guangsi Temple under the "Five Hundred Arhats Dojo", and the granite copper pot landform. The stone beam is a natural granite stone bridge, about seven meters long, and the narrowest part of the beam is 0.2-0.3 meters. The bottom height of the beam is about 2.3. The upper reaches of the water are Jinxi River and Daxingkeng water. They come from the southeast and merge in front of Zhongfangguang Temple to form a group of waterfalls.

Because of its color as white as frost and snow, it is called "Shiliang Snow Falls" and is one of the eight scenic spots on the rooftop. Especially after heavy rain, the waterfall viewing effect is better. The most amazing thing is the "ice waterfall" in winter. Regarding the formation of Shiliang Waterfall, from a geological point of view, it is because the river flows westward and washes up a large natural rock. Due to the difference in hardness of the upper and lower rocks, a large arch-shaped hole is formed through the impact and erosion of the flowing water. The water passes through this hole and flows down the stone, turning into a waterfall dozens of feet high. There are dozens of cliff carvings near Shiliang Waterfall. There is a main script on the belly of the bridge, "Former Du Comes Again", written by Liu Ao of the Qing Dynasty; the official script under the bridge, "The Key to Wanshan", was selected for seal cutting by Luo Huan; the one on the right side is "The Divine Dragon Turns Its Tail", written by the county governor Chen Qi; the one on the left side is "the key to Wanshan". A Wonder", written by Mi Fu, a great calligrapher and painter of the Song Dynasty. He highly praised this rare and purely natural wonder of water and stone. On the cliff of Bitan, there are Kang Youwei's official script "Shiliang Fei Waterfall", Wan Lun's official script "Daguan" on the side of the stone bridge, Yu Kun's official script "Erqi" on the stone bridge, and Yu Kun's official script "Erqi" on the stone bridge. There are "Flying Waterfalls and Hanging Waterfalls" in Yuli script, as well as unsigned "Spurting Snow and Flying Clouds", "Meteor Epiphany", "Everlasting True Heart", "Panorama", "Release Pond", "Namo Amitabha", etc. There is an ancient stone arch bridge downstream of the waterfall, the Mingxian Raft Bridge. Standing on the bridge, you can enjoy the panoramic view of the stone beams. There is Zhongfangguang Temple upstream of the waterfall, with a magnificent building. Cross the bridge and walk down the zigzag path for about 100 meters to reach it.

The temple is built on the mountain. It has small and exquisite Buddhist halls and monks' rooms, as well as a copper pavilion 1.3 meters high, one meter long and 0.7 meters wide. It weighs about 1500 kilograms and is made of high-grade alloy "wind-milled copper" with double eaves. Mountain top. Five hundred Arhat relief statues are cast inside and are exquisitely carved. They are rare art treasures and religious relics. The left and right walls are each inscribed by Mi Chengzhong and Yang Shikong, ministers of the Ming Dynasty. There is Tanhua in front of the temple, which was first built by Jia Sidao, the prime minister of Tiantai during Lizong's reign in the Southern Song Dynasty. It is said that after the pavilion was completed, when the monks were offering tea, an epiphyllum appeared in the tea cup, so it was named "Epiphyllum Pavilion". It was destroyed by fire in 1972 and rebuilt in 1980. At the southwest end of the Shiliang Bridge, there is a secluded ridge, paved in the green forest. Under the ridge is the ancient Xiaxiaguang Temple. It was built in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and is the oldest temple on Tiantai. The existing buildings were mainly rebuilt in the Qing Dynasty. During the Republic of China, Master Xingci rebuilt it. The temple covers an area of ??4,000 square meters, including the Main Hall, Yingzhen Pavilion and other buildings
