Temple of Eternal Tranquility

TIME : 2016/2/17 11:54:35

The largest and oldest temple in the area sits atop Jīmíng Mountain (鸡鸣山; Jīmíng Shān), which overlooks the town to the northwest. It's still an active monastery and a large and lively festival is held here during April each year. It takes three to four hours to hike to the top from the town (the path is easier round the back of the mountain). A road goes about halfway up so you can sometimes thumb a lift for all but the last section.
