#Mainland Travel I have long admired the fame of Gezhao Mountain. Now I have the opportunity to visit it in person, which is really a great pleasure in life. As you step into the mountains, a refreshing and quiet air hits you. Green pines, cypresses and ancient trees towering into the sky create a tranquil environment. The mountain paths are winding and secluded, and the scenery along the way is breathtaking. When we arrived at the Da Wanshou Chongzhen Palace, we felt solemn and dignified, with the smoke of incense curling up. The palace architecture is simple and elegant, carrying a profound historical and cultural heritage. In the distance, there are mountains and misty clouds, like a fairyland.

Visiting this mountain, you can not only enjoy the beauty of nature, but also feel the influence of culture. It is a place that will make you linger and is really worth a visit.
