Temple of the Primordial Lord

At Taohuayukou stands the Yuanjun Temple, the western palace of the goddess of Mount Tai. Inside the temple, ancient cypresses tower and flowers flourish. It is the only temple on Mount Tai with its entrance facing west. In the courtyard, the two cypress and pine trees grow opposite each other, lush and winding, resembling dragons and phoenixes. People call them "Dragon Cypress and Phoenix Pine." Inside the main hall is the goddess of Mount Tai—Bixia Yuanjun. The right side hall worships the Heaven, Earth, and Water Officials, while the left side hall worships Guan Yu, the Literary Star, and the Star of Longevity.

Bifeng Temple

The temple beneath Zhenchi Peak is called Bifeng Temple, and because it houses the Iron Buddha, it is commonly known as "Iron Buddha Temple." At the site stands a stele titled "Record of the Reconstruction of the Buddha Hall." In the fifth year of the Longqing reign of the Ming Dynasty (1571), Xiao Taiheng, Deputy Commissioner of the Shaanxi Provincial Surveillance Commission, wrote a book detailing the renovation of the Buddha Hall during the Longqing period. At that time, the Mahavira Hall "stood majestically as if ready to fly, ornately intricate." The temple originally enshrined an iron Buddha, with ancient couplets carved on both sides (quoting Fuzhou Iron Buddhas): "Ancient Buddhas have always been iron men, ordinary people are said to have golden bodies." The iron Buddha here is highly effective. Pilgrims from nearby areas travel hundreds of miles to worship the Iron Buddha, traveling hundreds of miles on foot to show their devotion. The painted stone cliffs beside the temple have picturesque stone patterns, breathtakingly beautiful and breathtaking; The stream contains naturally formed strange stones, lifelike and lifelike. Beside the stream lies the Colored Stone Valley, with rows of colored stones standing beside the babbling stream, where water and rocks intermingle like a picturesque scene.

Caishi Creek

Entering Taohuayu and walking about 2 kilometers, the stream suddenly appears to be paved with colorful stones. The stone patterns at the bottom are dazzlingly colorful, and under the sunlight, they look especially vivid. This is the famous "Colorful Stone Creek." The winding stream seems to be colored by colored stones, and also flows like a colorful ribbon, flowing with a special spirit. The captivating colored stones often attract visitors to stop and stop, and if you pay close attention, you can spot the red-scaled fish in the water. Under the sunlight, the creek bed is paved with colorful stones, vividly and vividly colorful.

According to geologists' investigations and analyses, the rocks of Caishixi are residual banded plagioclase amphibolite inclusions, with various bands of various sizes. The pale white bands and black-green plagioclase amphibole form the colorful and colorful riverbed bedrock, making for a spectacular and beautiful scene. The winding stream seems to be dyed by colored stones, resembling a colorful ribbon. The colorful stone patterns, reflected by the water, change into various shapes: some resemble ethereal fairies; Some resemble contemplative elders, as if meditating, wondering why nature loves Mount Tai so much, blending both grandeur and spiritual beauty; Some look like light fish, some like magpies perched on branches......

Longwan

Longwan is a famous attraction in the Peach Blossom Spring Scenic Area. The waters of wild geese, turtle-licking turtles, dragon horns, and the waters of the Three Valleys converge and then joyfully flow downstream, forming a natural bay here. The 'Taishan Road Records' records: "...... Longwan is a hilly area with peaks jutting out like islands. Below is the Bihua Pool, with stones all patterned with emerald green, naturally paved with ......." Here, emerald peaks line up, cliffs stand like screens, the bay water is clear, and the mountains and waters are reflected in the water. At times, a hundred birds sing and sing, and at times red-scaled fish are seen swimming and gliding. In 2008, a water system environment improvement project was implemented, creating a pool and waterfall landscape with abundant bay water and splashing pearls and jade.

One Line of Sky

The geological landscape of Mount Tai lies west of the Taohuayuan parking lot, with two peaks facing each other and a narrow line in the middle, allowing people to pass through it. It is the result of a combination of fracture and structural cutting, weathering and erosion, water transport, and gravitational collapse. Standing inside, the two cliffs are as steep as if carved by a knife; looking down, huge rocks pile up beneath your feet; looking up, the sky appears as a thin line. Entering the mountain along a small path from Yixiantian, the terrain is steep. In a secluded valley, a waterfall falls from the sky, the mountains vast and the water strong. Its name is Houchou Valley, emphasizing its steepness.
