[CoconutTree] Yuelu Mountain got its name from the Dongyue Temple built on the mountain during the Song Dynasty.
[CoconutTree] The mountain is dotted with pavilions and towers, and the flowers, plants and trees are lush.
[CoconutTree] When you enter the park, you will see exquisite rockery, ancient trees and bamboos, and a group of lifelike sculptures of divine deer standing in the center.

[CoconutTree] Climbing upward, the pavilions and corridors are magnificent.
[Rose] The columns and ceilings are covered with couplets. Looking up, you can see brilliant plaques; looking sideways, you can see the fragrance of calligraphy. Looking up the stairs, there is a building every ten steps and a pavilion every five steps. The scenery is connected, and the styles are varied!
[Rainbow] Among them:
[One] Fengya Pavilion

It means a hidden dragon.

[CoconutTree] Bifeng Tower
[RoundNails] towers into the sky, standing in Chaoran Academy.
[RoundNails] Bifeng Tower, according to legend, is the place where Laozi inserted his brush after he wrote Tai Chi. It is unknown when it was first built. The current tower was rebuilt, as evidenced by the inscription.
[CoconutTree] “Fengtai”: Also known as Chaorantai, it is said to be the place where Laozi preached and ascended to heaven.
[100] The name “Chaoran” comes from the 26th chapter of Tao Te Ching: “Although there are glorious sights and places to stay, I remain detached.”
[100] Above Chaoran Academy is Fengtai, which is said to be the place where Laozi ascended to heaven. It was named after the phrase “a phoenix comes to the sky”.
[100] A white marble statue of Laozi stands here.
Next to it stands a black stele with the inscription "Phoenix Singing in the Spring Dawn".
One is white and the other is black, they complement each other, each forming a scene, and interacting with each other to create interest.
