Songshan Mountain

Songshan Mountain lies in Dengfeng city (Diablo 3 Gold), in the heart of Henan Province and about 80 kilometers of its capital, Zhengzhou. Songshan Mountain, which is also known as Zhongyue, is one of the five famous mountains of China.

Songshan Mountain has fine natural scenery. Its 72 mountains, grouped around the peaks of mount Shaoshi and Mount Taishi, extend for about 70 kilometers from east to west. Besides these mountains, there are many valleys, caves, polls and waterfalls, each of which provides the visitor with a unique and wonderful experience. The landscape is so unique that it has given the title of"International Geological Park" by UNESCO.

The history of songshan Mountain is as rich and interesting as its landscape. It is not far from Luoyang, the ancient capital city of nine different dynasties, making it an essential place for emperors to offer sacrifices to their ancestors and the gods. This has left many sites of historic and cultural interest in this area. The beauty of the area's scenery also led many famous scholars monks and Taoists to choose this area as an important place to give lectures, explain Buddhist eutras and develop the teachings of different religions. Practitioners of the three faiths of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism absorbed ideas from each other, which led to these three beliefs growing closer together.

Songshan Mountain is the birthplace f china Zen Buddhism, and is the home of many wondrous temples, including Shaolin Temple, the largest pagoda forest in china Ta Lin and the most ancient n in china, Songyue Temple pagoda. A visitor can also visit the oldest cypress, as well as the earliest star observation platform in china.

What makes songshan Mountain different from the rest of the five Mountains is its rich and extensive cultural history. For this reason, a visit to songshang Mountian will be greatly rewarding for scholars of region, physical culture, archaeology, geology, art, and architecture, as well as for travelers with a passion for beauty and history.
