    Fairy Water Cliff is the core part of the six main sceneries. Natural landscape of green hills and clear water, rare and unique cliff tombs, and the long-history and rustic folk culture of ancient Yue become integrated here, making her a top quality resort with unique features in China. “A stream stretches itself like colored glaze along with layers of purple and green cloud beyond the mountains.” Here, water makes hills energetic while it appears more beautiful under arms of hills. There are always different scenes in the Resort. In spring, green water and hills show their beauties under lovely sunshine, bright or dark, vivid or peaceful. In summer, clear streams can be likened to emerald, and grass and plants smell fine in the shade of hills. In autumn, mirror-like cliffs have colorful reflections in water, frost falls on red trees, and leaves fly everywhere. In winter, icicles are like silver snakes and rivers all change into white fields. Bitterns soar around cliffs, waiting for a new year along with tourists.

    Shangqing Old Town is a place full of Taoism atmosphere, which can be seen from the town's name, Shangqing. Here, Shangqing means the Shangqing Paradise of Yuyu Sky where Lingbao God——one of the three highest gods in Taoism lives. The Town was established in the 8th year (625 B.C.) of Emperor Wude of the Tang Dynasty, 1,300 years ago. Surrounded by hills established beside water, it has a picturesque environment here. Its rich cultural heritage and proud history manifested by celebrities who lived here before make it seem to be out of the contemporary era. Mazu Daoyi, a respectable monk in the Tang Period, built up the Yingtian Temple, realizing a further development of Zen of Buddhism. Lu Xiangshan, a great confucianist in the Southern Song Period, established the Xiangshan Colledge, which was listed as one of the four biggest colleges in China then. Xiayan, a prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, was born in Guizhou Village, opposite to this town. Furthermore, tens of Heavenly Masters and their offspring who controlled Taoism affairs lived and multiplied here. The main historical sites include Changqing Mill, Liuhou Family Temple, Heavenly Master's Residence, Shangqing Palace, Dongyue Palace, Tianyuande Medicine Store, and the Catholicism Church. Especially, the folk houses, stores, houses projecting over water, and old ports remain the styles of the Ming and Qing Period, expressing their historical and cultural charm, which record the temporal prosperity and glory. When you are dining or enjoying tea in houses over water and against wind, you will really comprehend the lines “Talk about mulberry with tasteful wine in hands, in a restaurant beside fields.” by Meng Haoran, a famous Chinese poet.

    Immortals' City is also known as Deity Cliff. Facing Luxi River to the east, it is a great peak with all sides quite steep. There are many connected caves and natural stone holes scattered in this mountain. You can find yourself in a foggy and mysterious atmosphere among green trees and straightforward bamboos. Why this mountain is called Immortals' City? Because in the old days, it is a wonderland where deities live. In the Wei and Jin Period, the fourth Heavenly Master——Zhang Sheng built up a temple, named Doushuai Temple today, on the peak of this mountain to erect a sculpture of Lao-tzu and memorize his achievements. During the Xi'ning Period of Song Dynasty, Baoyue Monk who was from Pu City established a temple here which attained wide admiration of people than. In April 2002, archeologists discovered an amazing and unprecedented antique, “Ling Han (Soul Letter)” with 7 layers, in which words like “The source of Baoyue Monk' soul is clearance”. In the poem named Watching Immortals' City at Anren Port, Gu Kuang, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, described a heaven-like and mysterious city for us, and many people are attracted by its unique charm. Now, the Celestial Wind Bridge across the gap between cliffs and the footways for mountain visiting have been completed for tourists. Once you reach the peak, you will find yourself at a perfect position where you are able to overlook the grand scene involving all of the 99 peaks of Mountain Longhu. A classical poem remarked:“Cloud like white lotus blossomed at the thousand-chi (a Chinese unit of length) high peak. Walking at such a point, one can enjoy a magnificent scene which is even better than Penglai (a famous earthy paradise in China).”
