Huashan Scenic Spot:

1, the first bridal chamber in the world: the word "bridal chamber" in "Wedding Night" originated from Huashan Xifeng. In the past, because Huashan Road was difficult to climb, most people were discouraged, which provided an excellent place for some people who wanted to practice secretly in the early days. However, it is difficult to find materials for building temples on mountains, so hermits live in caves to practice enlightenment. According to legend, Xiao, who practiced flute in Huashan, and Princess Nong Yu, the daughter of Qin Mugong, went to the Lotus Cave in Xifeng to light candles and get married before they both became immortals.

2. Zhenwutang: According to legend, during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Taoist Jiao Kuang lived alone in Yuntai Mountain, and there were often three bluebirds around him, reporting the future to him. Hearing his name, Emperor Yuwen Yong of the Han Dynasty went to the mountain pavilion to inquire, and ordered a palace to be built in front of Jiaogong Changchun Stone Room for him to live in. When the palace was built, there was no soil on the peak and there was insufficient lamp oil. When Jiao Daoguang prayed silently, mud gushed from the cliff. The oil in the tank is also self-satisfied overnight and inexhaustible. Later, people called the place where the earth fell on the sacred cliff and the place where the oil tank was put as Xianyou Palace.
