Introduce Jin Lan Town of Hengyang County and Huaguoshan Scenic Area of Hengshan County.

Jin Lan Town, Hengyang County

Listen to the legend of eighteen arhats and visit the ancient Zhongshu Temple in Jin Lan.

Jin Lan Town, named after "Golden Sands in the middle of Sichuan and bluegrass in the mountains", is an important port on the ancient Hengbao Post Road. Beautiful scenery, beautiful scenery and rich humanities have become local business cards.

Zhongshu Temple is located on Zhongrao Temple Hill in Jin Lan Town, with continuous green vegetation, with an altitude of more than 800 meters. The temple is backed by Yuan Gong Village. The east and west directions of the temple are integrated with the mountains such as Qingshifeng and Lingbao Mountain. Strange terrain, surrounded by trees and flowing water make this ancient temple a quiet fairyland.

Legend has it that Zhu Yuanzhang camped here and saw an old man sitting on the mountain. Zhu Yuanzhang asked him strangely, why are you here alone? Aren't you afraid of wild animals? The old man said that I was not alone, but 17 people accompanied me, so there was the legend of "eighteen arhats" on Yuangongzhai Mountain. These beautiful and moving legends add a mysterious and peaceful atmosphere to Yuan Gongzhai, and also reflect the living habits and characteristic culture of local residents, pinning their pursuit and yearning for a better life in people's hearts.

Temples are temples that carry the wisdom of local people, and also shoulder the spiritual demands of inheriting and expressing people's goodness and beauty. Up the hill from Zhongshu Temple, you can not only see the panoramic view of Jin Lan Town, but also see the ancient wall of Yuan Gong Village. The ruins and ancient walls seem to describe the cruelty of those wars.

Route: From downtown, take Shao Heng Expressway, 40 minutes to Jin Lan Toll Station, get off the Expressway and go straight for 3 minutes to the intersection of provincial highway 3 15, and you will see the "Zhongshu Temple" archway.
