This is the origin of Shuanqing Stream. There is a block of rock squatting down just like a crouching tiger. The water pours out from the top of the peak and forms the cascading falls. Green peaks are layered by deep valleys and steep cliffs. In the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Xiaobiao exclaimed the magnificent sight with a poem “Tianmu Falls”: Autumn river overflows like the sky, the heaven besprinkles down ten thousands long cloth-like falls, fathomless thunders conceal in the cloud, the lonely lightening hangs on the rocks and trees.

Chanyuan Temple sits at the foot of four peaks, Zhaoming, Xuri, Cuiwei and Yanghe, and is surrounded by Mountain Qinglong (Green Dragon) and Mountain Baihu (White Tiger). The temple is sheltered by old trees and circled by pure streams. It was built in the Ming Dynasty (1425 A.D.). In 1733, the Emperor Yongzhen of the Qing Dynasty inscribed the board “Chanyuan Temple” for this temple. It covered an area of 3 hectares and had 500 rooms in the temple in its thriving period. It was one of the main Buddhistly holy lands in Southeast China.

Fairy Zenith is the summit of Mountain West Tianmu with elevation of 1,505.7 meters. There was a rock pole called “Tian Zhu peak” (the peak of heaven pole) with the sculpture of “Heavenly marvelous spectacle” carved in the Qing Dynasty. It was destroyed in 1955 due to the construction of weather station and only the bottom part of the pole remains. If the sky is very clear, one can see Qiantang River in the east and Mountain Huangshan in the west.

Called Dragon Pool in ancient times, the pond is under the northeastern peak of Mountain West Tianmu. In the Song Dynasty, when it was droughty, emissaries were sent by the emperors to cast coins into this pond as to pray for rain. In the 1930's, it was the production site of the film “Dream of the Peach Garden”, acted by Hu Die, a famous actress.

Four-Sided Peak is Mountain Tianmu's wonder of scenery, and is referred to as “the terrace of four-sided peak”. On top of the peak is a pavilion, “standing jade pavilion”. After the establishment of the Zen Temple of Shizi (Lion) Authentic Sect, the senior monk, Gaofeng, once sat in meditation here. Looking over from the peak, one can find himself facing deep valleys, sharp cliffs and overspread old trees at three sides. Looking at scenes further afar, one can catch a view of meandering mountains, seeming like thousands of horses galloping, in the background ofcroplands, villages and so on. Tianmu coiling pines grown in the crack of cliff hang over the sky in a way as eagle approaches the sea surface. This spot possesses six characteristics of “deep, remote, secluded, serene, amazing and beautiful”. In 1934, the famous artist, Xu Beihong, brought students of Chinese Fine Arts College to here to sketch painting. What is left is his treasury painting portraying a picture of “Tianmu Autumn Colors”.
