Xiangtan Zhaoshan Wushi Scenic Area
🏝Zhaoshan Mountain, with an altitude of 185 meters, is named after King Zhao of Zhou who visited here during his southern tour. It has a history of more than 3,000 years and is located in the suburbs of Changsha, Zhuzhou, and Xiangtan. It stands by the river, guarding the mouth of the Xiangjiang River and the throat of central Hunan. With its long history and excellent environment, it has become a unique cultural and natural sanctuary, known as the "natural oxygen bar of Changsha, Zhuzhou, and Xiangtan." It is a national 4A-level scenic spot.
🏝Zhaoshan Mountain stands by the river, embraced by the Xiangjiang River. It has been a landmark of Xiangtan since ancient times and is one of the eight ancient scenic spots of Xiaoxiang. There is an ancient stone path in the mountain, winding from the riverbank to the ancient Zhaoshan Temple on the top of the mountain.
🏝In the ancient Zhaoshan Temple, the distant sound of bells and drums, the rising smoke, the taste of piety, time, cool breeze, and fragrance. The butter lamp, once lit, emits a dry and distant sweetness. Slowly climb to the middle of the mountain, see the full view of the temple, bathed in sunlight, quiet yet full of vitality. The thick thousand-year-old ginkgo tree is quietly beautiful and gentle in the sunlight, and the long butter lamp is a solidified poem that dissipates immediately.
