The landscapes include the trendy Jiang River, the clear blue hills of Jiuling, the late bell of Yansi, the sunset glow of the mountain village, the ancient cave Qing Xue, the fog-shrinking cliff, the dragon and phoenix flagpole, etc., which are very beautiful because of the materials. For thousands of years, on the birthday of Emperor Yan, tens of thousands of people from all over the world came to Lieshan to worship Emperor Yan Shennong and remember the ancestor of China. Lieshan has become a sacred place for Chinese people at home and abroad to seek their roots and ask their ancestors.
