Mountain Lingshan

It is said that Nǚwa finished mending the sky and her fingers became peaks. That is Mountain Lingshan or Mountain Wufeng (5 Peaks). Located in Caiyuan Town, Qian'an City, Mountain Lingshan is famous for its natural beauty, tranquility, rare peaks, strange rocks, good fountains and clear water.

Colorful stones dotted everywhere in Mountain Lingshan are various-shaped and hard. It is said that these stones were left by Nǚwa when she mended the sky. They didn't become stars in the sky and had to stay in Mountain Lingshan.

At the foot of Mountain Lingshan stands a white dagoba in which there is a well called “Saint Water Well”. Spring water spills from it all year round. The water, cool in summer and warm in winter, tastes sweet. Emperor Tang Taizong had the White Dagoba Temple built behind the dagoba. For more than one thousand years, many pilgrims have been here to worship the gods. When you climb up, you seem to see Emperor Qin Shihuang's majesty. When you are in Nǚwa Palace, you will come to view that Nǚwa made men out of yellow clay, killed harmful birds and beasts to save innocent people, cut the legs of a giant turtle to support the four corners of the sky and melted colorful stones to mend the sky. When you are in leisure, you look at the waterfall afar and listen to the sounds of nature.
