2． Lingyun Pavilion

Lingyun Pavilion is built on the top of Yueshan Mountain, 1,600 meters above sea level. It has solitary peaks, thousands of feet of cliffs, rugged rocks and majestic scenery. The only way to climb Lingyun Pavilion is the Human Cloud Ladder. This is a 218-step straight line dug by the ancients between the cliff walls. Only the brave cannot climb it. The ladder is so narrow that only one person can walk on it. The former's feet are on the top of the people behind, and the people behind are on top of the former's feet. Occasionally, I look back and see white clouds wrapped around me, as if hanging in the air. Visitors climb the pavilion along the stone steps. On a sunny day, they look like wall sculptures hanging in the air, and on a foggy day, they look like clouds floating in the sky. , like a fairyland in a painting. At the top of the human ladder, you can fly to the Lingyun Pavilion, pass through the cave human pavilion, and reach into the clouds. It has not been verified in what year and by whom Lingyun Pavilion, Yun Ladder and Entering Pavilion Cave were built. When you enter the pavilion, you can see endless green mountains. Looking down at the cliff, it feels like you are facing an abyss, which is dazzling. If you encounter the morning glow, sea of ??clouds, and sunset, the scenery will be colorful and dangerous, and it will be particularly spectacular.
