## About Tianmen Mountain

Tianmen Mountain has graceful peaks and striking ravines. Highlights include the typical danxia landforms of Tianji (Heavenly Ridge, a stone beam), Shenxian Zhai (Immortal Village, a stone stockade) and Yixian Tian (One-Line Sky, a narrow stone alley). Statues honour Shennong, the Emperor of Medicine; Zhang Zhongjing, the Sage of Medicine; and Hua Tuo, the Divine Physician. Religious buildings include Tianmen Temple, Guanyin Temple, the Medicine Buddha Hall and the Earth God Shrine. Inscriptions by renowned calligraphers include Zhao Puchu’s “Lin He You Mei” (Serene Forest and Valley), Lin Zhiyuan’s “Tianxia Diyi Yaogu” (The Number One Medicinal Valley Under Heaven) and Qin Yusheng’s “Zhi Zhe Le Shui” (The Wise Delight in Water), together creating a picture of a hidden paradise.
