## About Qinglong Cave Scenic Area

Known as the ‘Hanging Temple of Southwest China’, it brings together Confucian, Buddhist and Taoist architecture, as well as the building culture of guildhalls, bridges and post roads. It is a national key cultural heritage site and the most spectacular ancient architectural complex in the province. The buildings follow the lay of the land, spreading out in a soaring formation across the cliffs of Zhonghe Mountain by the Wuyang River. The scenic area has six highlights: Zhusheng Bridge, Zhongyuan Temple, Ziyang Cave, Qinglong Cave, Wanshou Palace and Xianglu Rock.
