The highest peak of Mount Heng

Zhurongfeng is the highest peak of Hengshan Mountain, and the peak of China commemorating Zhu Rong Stone, the ancestor of mankind. "The height of Zhurong Peak" is the first of the "four wonders" of Nanyue scenery. Because of the dense clouds and overlapping peaks all the year round, it stands in the relatively low-lying southern Hunan basin, which is even more majestic. In the old saying, "Wish" means eternity, "Harmony" means light, and "Zhu Rong" means eternal light. Han Yu, a great writer in the Tang Dynasty, praised "Zhu Rong rose from the ground and disappeared in the smoke" in his poem Rong Feng, You Zhu.

You can reach the Zhu Rong Hall at the top of Zhurong Peak by going to Riling. Zhu Rong Hall was built to commemorate the achievements of Vulcan in Zhu Rong. There were buildings before the Sui Dynasty, the earliest being the Four Days Fire King Temple. Later, the temple was moved to the foot of the mountain (the predecessor of Nanyue Temple) and renamed Tianchi Temple. It was called Kaiyun Temple in the Ming Dynasty and renamed Zhu Rong Temple in the Qing Dynasty. The whole hall is divided into two parts, all made of granite. The roof of the hall is covered with tinned iron tiles with a length of 70cm, a width of 30cm and a weight of15kg. Among these iron tiles, dozens were cast in the Song Dynasty. After thousands of years, they are clean and stainless.
