There are different styles of pavilions, platforms, and pavilions in the scenic area. There are gardens in the garden, and there are scenes in the scenery, known as the "Jiujing of Zuiweng"; Among them, Ouyang Xiu's hand-planted plum is one of the four major longevity stars of plum in China, and Su Dongpo's hand-written "Zuiweng Pavilion" tablet is considered a rare treasure in the world; "The Same Paradise" (about 30 minutes), divided into two courtyards, connected by pavilions and corridors, is suitable for both movement and silence.

It was built in the sixth year of the Dali period of the Tang Dynasty by Li Youqing, the governor of Chuzhou, and Fachen, a mountain monk. It is a famous Buddhist resort. There are 85 scenic spots and sites in the scenic area, among which the Wu Daozi painting of Zizi Bodhisattva is a rare treasure, and the donation of 1000 jade Buddhas from Myanmar is the highest in the country. The temple is surrounded by incense all year round, making it a key protected temple in the country. There are the Shakya ManiHall, Hall of Thousand Jade Buddhas, Cliff Stone Carvings, Hall of No Beam in the Jin Dynasty, etc.); "Nantianmen" (about 1 hour up and down), located at the southern commanding point of Langya Mountain, is home to ancient architectural complexes such as Langya Pavilion and Ancient Bixia Palace. Climbing on the Tianmen, you can overlook the Yangtze River as a belt, Zhongshan as a snail, and the convergence of peaks and surging tides. Langya Pavilion, formerly known as "Huifeng Pavilion", was built in the Ming Dynasty and is a landmark building in Chuzhou City and Langya Mountain Scenic Area. [Langya Pavilion] Built due to the mountain terrain, it has seven floors, two underground floors, and five overground floors. Viewed from four sides, it has different heights and shapes. From the east, it has three floors; Seen from the south, it has five floors. Each floor of the pavilion has six sides and eight corners, all of which adopt the style of cornices and corners of classical architecture. The pavilion is covered with glazed tiles and carved with beams and painted columns, making it simple and elegant.


In the afternoon, visit [Southern Taipu Temple] (about 1.5 hours) In the sixth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang issued an edict to establish the central institution in Chuzhou to manage the national horse administration - Taipu Temple. Upon the death of Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di ascended the throne and moved the capital to his own fiefdom, Beijing. However, a central administrative structure has been retained in Nanjing, and the Taipu Temple has also been preserved. But because Beijing already has a new Taipu Temple, the Taipu Temple in Chuzhou has been renamed Nanjing Taipu Temple, also known as the South Taipu Temple. In this way, two Taipu temples, one in the south and the other in the north, were divided between the north and the south: the horse administration in the northern region was under the management of Beijing Taipu Temple, and the horse administration in the two Huai and Jiangnan regions was under the management of Nanjing Taipu Temple. The Qing Dynasty also basically followed this practice. Visit the Fengle Pavilion (about 40 minutes), which connects with the Taipu Temple. The scenic area includes the Dafeng Mountain and its gentle slope section at the east foot. On the north side is the famous Chuzhou Xijian Lake, which is now located in Chuzhou. On the west side, it is adjacent to the modern cultural landscape under construction - Langya Mountain Pumped Storage Power Station Scenic Area. The area is 253100 square meters. The original Fengleting Ancient Building Complex, Ziwei Spring, and Yougu Spring are located on this plot.
