In the western section of the Lianhua Mountains, 14 kilometers away from Huidong County, there is a tall peak. It is named "Jiulong Peak" because there are nine ridges on the north side that wind like dragons. Because the main peak is as tall and straight as the tip of a pen, it is also called "Jianbi Peak". The ancient trees here are towering, the trees are shaded from the sun, the ponds are clear, the mountains are green, and the valleys and streams are beautiful. More charming.
Jiulong Peak is 562.5 meters above sea level. The ancient Liu Mengde said: "The mountain is not high, but it is famous if there are immortals." Although Kowloon Peak is not as tall and majestic as Mount Luofu, there is a famous Tan Gong Ancestral Temple built in the mountainside where Kowloon gathers. With Tam Kung Ancestral Temple as the center, there are nearly 10 large and small temples and pavilions in Kowloon Peak, all of which are precious historical and cultural heritage. Tan Gongzu Temple was built in the ninth year of Xuande in Ming Dynasty (1434) and has a history of 571 years. In 1983, the Huidong County Government opened Jiulong Peak as a tourist area, and in 1993, the "Tan Gongzu Temple" was listed as a county-level cultural relic protection unit. Through years of construction and management by the tourism management department, it has gradually formed a tourist attraction integrating religion, sightseeing and leisure. Tourists and believers come here in droves to burn incense and worship, or to explore the secluded places. Since 1983, it has received more than 200,000 tourists every year. In order to praise the scenery of Jiulong Peak, Huidong musicians composed the song "Jiulong Peak", which has been recorded on VCD.

There is a statue of Tan Gongxian in the main hall, and statues of his sworn brothers in childhood are placed on both sides. In the right hall is the statue of Yang Dabogong, who was the messenger to Queen Tan Gongcheng. place. A new worship pavilion was built on the platform in front of the temple for burning incense and lighting candles when worshiping Tan Gong. A gourd-shaped incense burner for burning incense and turning candles was added in front of the worship pavilion. There is constant incense and firecrackers here all year round. Visitors to Jiulong Peak burn incense and candles here to pray for peace and good fortune from Mr. Tan. Some may seek spiritual sustenance from the god's idol, while others regard this behavior as fun.
There is a strange phenomenon on the glazed tile roof of Tam Kung Temple. Although there are many big trees close to this place, there are no leaves left on the tile surface all year round. No matter when you come here to look at it, the tile surface is always as clean as washing. This phenomenon occurs because there is always a strong wind blowing here every morning at around eight o'clock in the morning and around four o'clock in the afternoon, blowing away the leaves on the tile surface.
There is a fairy spring well on the right side of Tan Gong Temple. In ancient times, it was specially used for tourists to wash their hands when worshiping Tam Gong. The spring water is pure and sweet and can be drank. The fairy spring here is used to make soda, which has a refreshing taste; when used to make wine, it is particularly fragrant. It is said that if people who came here in ancient times had any illness and drank the fairy spring water, their illness would be cured by the water. To this day, pilgrims still purify their hands here before going to pay homage to Mr. Tam.
Not far above the Fairy Spring Well, there is a clear spring flowing down from a height of two meters, forming a water curtain. There is a cave where the water is filled, about one meter wide, and inside the cave there is a small hole with a diameter of About 60 centimeters and 2.38 meters deep, the water in the cave is cold and crystal clear. Legend has it that Gong Tan often bathed here when he was a child, and it was called Tan Gong Cave. It is said that the eighth day of April every year is the anniversary of Tan Gong's bathing. On this day, many tourists believe that it is a pleasure to take a bath here.
[Wenchang Palace]
Okay, everyone continues walking along the path to reach Wenchang Palace. Wenchang Palace is located on the right front of Longfeng Ancestral Temple. It was built in the 23rd year of Emperor Kangxi's reign in the Qing Dynasty (1684), 321 years ago. It is a place where literati worshiped Confucius and the five great sages, and prayed for a prosperous cultural fortune. In 1984, large-scale renovations were carried out. In addition to maintaining the original architectural style, some wall sculptures and murals were added, making this palace-style ancient building even more magnificent. There is a "ceremony gate" on the right side, and the couplet on both sides is "There have been thousands of scenes in the past, and humanities have changed from now on", which expresses people's respect for Confucius and literati.
In Wenchang Palace, according to traditional practice, the main god worshiped is "Wenchang Emperor", but here is a statue of Confucius, known as the "Eternal Teacher", which is dedicated to literati and bachelors who respected Confucius throughout the ages. On the left side of the statue of Confucius, there are statues of Meng Ke, Yan Yuan, Zeng Shen, Cheng Hao and Zhu Xi who respected Confucius in the past dynasties. On the right is "Kuixing Point Dou". It is said that Kuixing passed the imperial examination nine times, but the emperor thought he was ugly and refused to recruit him as his consort. Kuixing was very frustrated and wanted to jump into the sea for the rest of his life. A carp picked him up and advised him to be strong and self-reliant and to revitalize culture. This statue of Kuixing has a carp head on his feet and is giving advice to the champion.
[Zhiyin Pavilion]
There is Zhiyin Pavilion (formerly known as Ma Pavilion) on the left side of Longfeng Ancestral Temple. It was built in the fifth year of Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty (1740) and is the local township. Huan Chen invested millions in its construction. "Guishan County Chronicle" records: "...there is Zhiyin Pavilion on the left side of the nunnery, which was built by Chen Duo, the prefect." Chen Duo, known as "Chen Baiwan", was a local eunuch. At that time, he saw an endless stream of equestrian dignitaries coming to the ancestral temple to worship. For the convenience of tourists, he funded the construction of this pavilion for officials and equestrians from afar to tie their horses, so it was also called the "horse pavilion".
There is a chess playing pavilion next to Chi Yin Pavilion, which is specially used for tourists who are fascinated by the beautiful scenery of Jiulong Peak to play chess. It is said that one day, the White Crane Immortal and the Antarctic Immortal were playing chess under an ancient pine tree. Zhang Guolao came here to chop wood. Seeing that the two were indecisive for a long time, he put down his ax and crouched on the wood grid and squatted aside to watch the battle. Unexpectedly, after watching it for seven days and seven nights, there was still no winner. At this time, the White Crane Fairy looked up and saw that Zhang Guolao was still watching chess, so he smiled and said, "Zhang Guolao, why don't you go back? Your ax handle and wood grid are both rotten." Upon hearing this, Zhang Guolao hurriedly I went to see it and was shocked when I saw it. The ax handle and grid were really rotten, and the ax head turned into a piece of rusty iron. Seeing his miserable appearance, the two immortals smiled again: "Seven days in the mountains, thousands of years in the world!" After saying that, they disappeared without a trace. But he said that when Zhang Guolao returned home, he didn't even recognize him. The tourists who come here today don't know whether they are infatuated with the natural beauty here, or they are waiting for the two immortals to come and play chess, and they refuse to leave for a long time.
Jiulong Peak has been attracting countless pilgrims for more than 600 years because of its beautiful natural scenery, touching myths and legends, exquisite ancient architecture and strong religious color. Today, due to its splendid national cultural heritage and precious ancient buildings, it is listed as a key cultural relic protection unit by the government and has been developed into a tourist area.
Dear group members, the tour to Jiulong Peak is coming to an end. You can rest for twenty minutes now. If you are interested, you are welcome to come back next time!
