Longtou Temple

20220706 Morning: 1. "Longtou Temple" is in the "Mianshan" scenic area. Mianshan is the birthplace of cold food and Qingming. The bus is directly accessible. It is also very good to park by car. If you take the train, it is the closest to "Lingshi East Station". The train station takes a taxi to the scenic area for about 40 yuan. I like to hike, choose to spend 1.5 hours walking 6.5 kilometers from the train station to the scenic spot, crossing farmland, villages and children's military training bases halfway, encountering happy events in the village, experiencing the local customs. Arriving at the scenic spot, there is a golden statue flying into the air in front of the visitor center. Take a sightseeing bus (including 160 yuan tickets, unlimited times) and climb along the winding mountain road, about 15 minutes to the first attraction "Longtou Temple". This is one of the only 3 supermarkets in the scenic spot, so you have to bring enough water, the price of the scenic spot is 250% of the normal price, but the supermarket is privately contracted and can bargain. 2. At the foot of Longtou Temple, there is a "Mianshan Wonderland" archway (there are many stone monuments next to it) erected at the mountain gate, next to "Ye Jianying on Mianshan" engraved with words and "Yudetang" (there are small attic inscribed by Li Shimin and other famous people, but not open) and a small temple group built on the cliff (there are too many small temples in the whole scenic area, Not introduced one by one), the temple is installed wooden fence can not enter, can only worship outside the temple, the temple is facing the vast plain under the mountain. Up the stone ladder to the "Tang Ying" (Li Shimin was stationed here against Song Jingang) the city gate goes straight (left turn is "Longyiquan" and "Longjiling" climbing road, you can't come back up, think clearly before you go), through the "Shenji Pavilion" (there is a stone carving portrait of Tang Taizong, the second floor is not allowed), "Thunder Temple" (Tang Taizong Zeng came to Xie Yu), "Mianshan Cultural Experience Hall" (with a guide to lead the visit, and finally you can voluntarily buy a blessing card), "Zhenwu Temple", "Guandi Temple" (Zhengdian sacrifice Guan Yu, two partial temple sacrifice five tigers in the other four: Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Huang Zhong) and some small temples. To go to the mountain, the faucet needs to climb a little mountain, the mouth of the dragon mouth is a lounge. The faucet temple is all visited and worshipped for 1 hour.

Jiexiu Mianshan Scenic Area has 14 major attractions, more than 360 small attractions, mainly with many styles and diverse antique buildings. After entering the scenic spot, the mountain gate archway with a Bo wave of inscriptions writing "Mianshan", passing the old site of Guangyan Temple, Zhusha Cave, Feihu Cave, and Yanyanhui, can reach Longtou Temple. Longtou Temple is also known as the Tower Yantou, which is named after the original empty king tower courtyard under the Loess Slope. Entering the Longtou Temple tourist area, the first thing that comes into view is the large stone archway of "Mianshan Shengjing". This stone carving archway is large-scale, luxurious and exquisite, and is one of the landmark buildings in Mianshan. The archway is all made of stone carving wood components, four pillars and three doors on the third floor to rest on the top of the mountain. Longtou Temple is bounded by the south Tianmen and divided into two courtyards. Nantianmen is the highest, and it is a wonderful place to watch the sunset. In addition to many temples, Longtou Temple also has a Tang Ying, built by Qin Wang Li Shimin, which has a history of 1400 years. In the case of good weather, Denglongtou Temple is far away, and the mountain is a thousand miles below the mountain. Mianshan ticket peak season (April 01 - October 31 Monday - Sunday) 110 RMB / tour bus 50 RMB, Longtou Temple includes it, Longtou Temple up the cable car 35 yuan / person, good physical strength can choose to hike more fun.

Longtou Temple, formerly known as Tatou Temple, was named after the ancient free Wang Tayuan on the Loess Poe under the Rock. After 15 years of Tang Zhenguan, the emperor of Taizong came to the mountain to Xie Yu, and changed his name to the present. Longtou Temple Scenic Area is the first attraction to arrive from Mianshan Ticketing Center by sightseeing bus. There are many attractions to see, such as: Nantianmen, Tangying, Guandi Temple, Zhenwu Temple, Taizong Fushiting, etc. There is a large stone monument in Taizong Fu Shiting. Behind the stone monument is Taizong Fu's poem, and the front is Taizong's portrait. The white line is very fine, so you have to look carefully to see it. Taizong's portrait shows Taizong's rich and elegant and noble. I took Longtou Temple as the last stop of Mianshan tourism. When I arrived, there were several tourists. A woman who claimed to be a commentator took the initiative to explain to us Longtou Temple for free, especially telling us how to step on the ground with natural colors and red blessings, etc. Eventually I learned that she wanted us to buy a small bell with a red color belt, which could write the name and wishes on the ribbon, and then hang it in a designated place, 10 yuan a, and no passenger was willing to buy it. She was busy, no matter what, thank you very much for her explanation. Longtou Temple scenic spot, if you want to swim carefully, one or two hours is needed.

The scenery is super beautiful in summer, I like this place, the mountains and rivers meet the friends

The first stop to Jiexiu Mianshan to take the scenic bus is Longtou Temple, because the temple's architecture is built on the edge of the mountain, like the faucet stretching to the North China land and named it. As soon as I dropped off the car, I saw the feeling of the temple, and the temple set a good impression of Mianshan.
