A Gathering Place of Immortals - Dinghu Peak
Emperor Xuanyuan ascended to immortality here, a gathering place of immortals.
After visiting the land of immortals in the Song Dynasty, Wang Shipeng expressed his admiration, 'Weary of the Western Lake, visitors to the imperial capital seek the land of immortals; Dinghu is preferred. Caves join the dragon's pool with distant clouds, and mountains part for the solitary peak of Yandang.'
The land of immortals is located in Jinyun County, Zhejiang. Known as 'Emperor Xuanyuan's Jinyun, the mortal land of immortals,' the most unforgettable memory for many is the TV series 'The Legend of Sword and Fairy.' Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er from the series are the youthful memories of many.
🌿The number one peak under heaven. The Dinghu Peak scenic area boasts the world's tallest monolithic stone pillar, known as 'the number one peak under heaven.' The base covers an area of 2,468 square meters, the top area is 710 meters, and it stands at a towering height of 170.8 meters, soaring into the sky, exuding a masculine energy. It is a rhyolite plateau formed by volcanic eruptions 160 million years ago, shaped into a spectacular columnar peak by geological external forces.
🌿The Temple of the Yellow Emperor. Within the scenic area, the predecessor of which was the Jinyun Hall, built during the Eastern Jin Dynasty's Xianhe period. It is said to be one of the three great palaces of the Yellow Emperor, the 'Son of Heaven.' TV series such as 'The Emperor Wu of Han,' 'Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils,' 'Swordsman,' and 'Young Detective Dee' were filmed here.
In the entire land of immortals scenic area, only Dinghu Peak requires an admission ticket; all others are free of charge. The ticket price is 95 yuan, and the round-trip cable car costs 40 yuan. After entering, you first pass through a park, cross a bridge, and arrive at the Temple of the Yellow Emperor. After visiting the temple, you can choose to walk or take the cable car to the mountain top. Those with good physical strength can climb up, though the slope is somewhat steep. Standing at the top and overlooking the land of immortals presents a completely different view.

🍃 There are many attractions in Xian Du, you can drive into the scenic area, and there are shuttle buses between the attractions. Even if you don't go to the attractions, any riverside is picturesque, and many places are suitable for camping and playing in the water. Here are a few spots I recommend that are worth visiting, all within a 5-minute drive:
.
◻️ Zhu Tan Mountain
🏔️ The main filming location for 'With the Phoenix' and over 500 other films and TV dramas, the scene of an old man leading a cow was shot here, and you can see it around 7:30. A paradise for photography enthusiasts, it is recommended to arrive around 5:30 in the morning to capture the fairyland feeling with the mist swirling around;
.
◻️ Dinghu Peak
💧 Dinghu Peak can be seen from Zhu Tan Mountain, and you can also enter the Dinghu Peak scenic area for an in-depth visit. There is an imperial temple inside, and you can climb to the top of the mountain to overlook the landscape from the Xuxu Pavilion. If you're afraid of getting tired, there is also a cable car to go up and down the mountain;
.
◻️ Little Red Cliff
🌋 A steep cliff by the stream, with the rock wall's reddish-white colors intermingling, looking like a fire has scorched it from a distance at sunset, resembling the Red Cliffs of the Yangtze River. The stone steps leading up to Little Red Cliff are quite steep, so be careful. The view of the scenery below from within the rock wall is beautiful. Near the entrance to Little Red Cliff, the lake surface in front of the Yunli Residence Hotel is very photogenic, and it was one of the shooting locations for Ni Ni's fashion shoot;
.
◻️ Xian Du Temple
⛩️ Connected to Little Red Cliff, you can visit both at the same time. This is the filming location for 'Monk Comes Down the Mountain' and 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' among other films and TV series;
.
◻️ Ni Weng Cave
🗿 The cave contains over 60 cliff inscriptions from the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, Qing dynasties, the Republic of China, and modern literati. The nearby Jian San Pavilion is also one of the shooting locations for Ni Ni's fashion shoot;
.
◻️ Jinyun Stone Chambers
🛕 Recommend the developed No. 8 and No. 9 stone chamber studios, which are very artistic for taking photos. You can also read books, drink coffee, and listen to music here;

Jinyun, Hengdian; Natural, Man-made
Jinyun, a pleasant name, came for its reputation. Dinghu Peak in Xiandu Scenic Area, like a fairyland, moving legends, as if from another world. 'The giant rock is naturally formed, without artificial carving', the most beautiful of nature. Looking at Hengdian again, a collection of commerce, Hong Kong Guangzhou Street, Qingming Shanghe Tu... many attractions, all artificially carved, in line with human entertainment nature. Wander at will, depending on your mood!

Jinyun Xiandu || It makes sense for immortals to gather here for cultivation
|| It makes sense for immortals to gather here for cultivation. Everyone should visit Jinyun Xiandu at least once in their life!
This is Jinyun Xiandu, named after Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty said, 'This is truly a city where immortals gather.'

👉Ni Weng Cave, where there are cliff carvings from various dynasties and a popular rock wall library. We didn't go there due to limited time.
👉Xiandu View, a place to worship the medical doctor Zhao Bing. It is also a filming location for martial arts dramas. The Taoist temple is built against the mountain, and there is a cave on the side of the cliff. When you pass through the cave, the view suddenly opens up, which is another side of the Taoist temple.
👉Little Red Cliff, a steep cliff that resembles the Red Cliff of the Yangtze River. There are inscriptions from the Ming Dynasty on the cliff. From Xiandu View, you can walk along the path under the cliff to the inscription site. Along the way, you can enter the ancient Dragon Plow Road, a natural stone corridor on the cliff, which leads to a place several tens of meters above the ground, overlooking the farmland and lake. The scenery is beautiful. These two attractions take about 2 hours in total.

If you say the beauty of Lishui, Jinyunxian must be famous on paper, and the beauty of Xiandu, especially Dinghufeng and Zhutanshan. It is said that this is a network of more than 300 film and television dramas. The core attraction is Dinghu Peak, which is not only the largest stone pillar in the world, but also the symbol of Xiandu. The point of the card is recommended by Zhutan Mountain, which is also the peak of Dinghu Peak. Best place
-swenty-.
Not watching Dinghu, I dont know Xiandu, Dinghufeng is the most iconic attraction in Xiandu. At the end of the May Day holiday, we also rushed to the scene, and there was a glimpse of the Dinghu Peak Scenic Spot in Jinyun, which is known as Dinghu. The scenic spot is located in the northeast of Jinyun County, about 11 kilometers away from the county town of Wuyun Town.
The scenery here is beautiful. The peaks and rocks are fantastic, the mountains and rivers are flowing, the clouds on the rocks and the clouds between the mountains add to its spirit. It has the Guilin landscape show, and the charm of the Huangshan Qifeng rock and the rare crater in the world.
More than 50 meters away from the stream. In ancient times, it was necessary to climb the ladder and climb the trail. The trail has been repaired. The hole in the mouth of Xianshui Cave is like a mirror, so it is also called mirror rock. The hole is 6 meters wide, 3 meters high and 5 meters deep. In the middle of the top of the cave, there is a milky spring water, which is dripped into a pool and crystal clear. There are not many spring and summer, many autumn and winter. The water is clear and cool, and it has not been rotted for a long time. According to legend, the Yellow Emperor of Xuanyuan used this water to make alchemy. People often drink it, can eliminate all diseases, light body, moisturizing and beauty, longevity, hence the name Xianshui.
This nearby stone bridge is called Dengxian Bridge. Dengxian Bridge is a double-column double-slab slab bridge. The total length is 66 meters, and there are 43 low-rise oblique stone piers. The bridge deck is arranged side by side by two stones of 1.6 meters in length and 0.4 meters in width. Dengxian Bridge is the gateway to the Dinghu Peak and the Yellow Emperor. From ancient times to the present, although it has been repaired many times, the bridge of Dengxian Bridge has been more than a thousand years.
Looking back at Dinghufeng, it is like Xuanyuan Huangdi wearing armor, long straight, arrogant, overlooking the world, bringing auspiciousness and good luck to all beings. Before the Yellow Emperors glory was restored, people were pilgrimage to the side of the Yellow Emperor.
