Nanyue Hengshan is located in Nanyue District, Hengyang City, Hunan Province. It was built in 725 years of the Tang Dynasty. It is one of the five Chinese mountains. It has 72 peaks and 800 miles. The main peak is 1300 meters above sea level. It is a famous Buddhist worship place and is now a national scenic spot. The main attractions in the scenic area are Zhurong Peak, Shangfeng Temple, Guangji Temple, Nantianmen, Mojingtai, Fuyan Temple, Huayan Lake, etc. Every Qingming Festival and the first day of the first day are burning incense and worshiping Buddha guests, and the thousands of heads are very spectacular. If you need to watch the sunrise, you can stay at the top of the mountain.
A great night climbing experience. It is easier to conquer Wuyue for the first time to choose Hengshan, but for people who don’t exercise very much, the ramp ladder is still more difficult. After unremitting efforts, it is still on the top and successful.
Because of the sudden change of the itinerary, I came to Nanyue Hengshan, and that day happened to be the 15th lunar calendar. The staff inside said that it was a good day and it was very suitable for asking God to worship Buddha. Suddenly I felt very lucky, and I also ran into Hanfu Festival activities. I wore Hanfu and traveled to Hengshan for free. I also met like-minded partners along the way. Many people came here. Everyone heard that Nanyue Temple is super spiritual, and there is no need to return. Very happy and fulfilling journey, it is a big surprise in the process of traveling for a few days.
[View] The night view is not very good. Because the lighting facilities are very small. I am looking forward to the sunrise. But I didn't see it. For cloudy reasons. There are not many people. Climb on weekdays and nights. If you want to watch the sunrise at night. Set aside at least four and a half hours to climb. When you are sufficient for yourself. You can rest.

According to the Warring States Period "Ganshi Star Sutra", because it is located in the star wing of the constellation 28 nights, "allergenic", "Yude", like a weighing device, can be called heaven and earth, so it is called Hengshan.

The earliest was the Sitianhuo Wang Temple, and the later temple was moved to the foot of the mountain (Nanyue Temple). The temple was built of granite rock, with a 70 cm long, 30 cm wide and 15 kg casser tile on the top of the temple, including dozens of pieces of iron tiles cast by the Song Dynasty that have been polished and rusty for thousands of years. The Tibetan Jingdian Temple was built by the second year of the Guangda (568) of the southern dynasty Chen Fei Emperor. Because the Ming Taizu gave a large Tibetan scripture, it is called the "Tibetan Jingdian". It is now rebuilt in 1933. "Zhu Rongfeng's height, the show of Tibetan Jingdian, the depth of Fangguang Temple, the wonder of water curtain cave", anciently called Nanyue "four musts". Raiders transportation: Hengshan West Railway Station (high-speed rail) is7.2 kilometers away from Hengshan and Nanyue Temple. There is no bus and a contracted shuttle bus. 6 yuan is a miscellaneous courtyard behind the Nanyue Town Bus Station. Many fragrant guests are solicited. Walk to Nanyue Temple 1.5 kilometers, you need to cross the commercial street. No. 1 can reach some commercial streets. The same is true for returning to the high-speed rail station. Nanyue Town has a very poor car experience. Ticket price: 80 yuan. The military preferential treatment certificate is free and needs to be filed for certification. Transportation tickets need to be queued at a separate window, 78 yuan for round trip, 44 one-way, half price for military personnel. Route: 1. Take the car Panshan Road for an hour (stop in the folk culture city, don't go for pure business) to the "ancestral temple", walk 50 minutes to the peak Zhurong Peak, all the way to cover the rain corridor; there is also a complete road in this section, but leave room for the ropeway (200 yuan). Round-trip vehicles can get on and off at any time. 2.

The entrance of Bailongtan on the west line goes up the mountain. There is no charge from the Folk City to the ancestral temple. There are no attractions in the middle. Go down the mountain and take the East Line to Nanyue Temple. Overall, compared to Lushan, Huashan, Taishan, and Emei Mountain, it is obviously more commercialized here. Fortunately, there is the National Tourism Administration control, and the tickets and vehicle fees are relatively fair. Food and lodging: The top of the mountain "Shangfeng Temple" can be accommodated, very close to the "Wangritai". The temple closed early and there was no food and accommodation.

Attractions: Nanyue Temple under the mountain, Zhusheng Temple, Huangtingguan, Fangguang Temple, Shuiliandong Time: 2-10 hours
The smog in Hengshan is really beautiful! Don't go from the Nanyue Temple. From Xiling, there will be smog as soon as you enter the door, and the more beautiful you go up. . . All the way is "wow wow wow" "so beautiful, so beautiful" . . But as a well-known tourist attraction in the country, Hengshan also has not been in place. The most important thing is that the garbage is not cleaned in time. The trash can on the road is not obvious. There are too few trash cans, resulting in a lot of garbage thrown everywhere, ice claws, raincoats are everywhere. . . Mineral water bottles are picked up, other garbage is not cleaned! Occasionally see a cleaner is a very old aunt, feeling that in this icy season, it is very dangerous for them! The bathroom is old, damaged, the wash basin is broken, it is frozen, there is no water to wash your hands, and the garbage in the toilet is piled up in mountains and no one cleans it. . . . Too few cleaning staff can't keep up!
