According to Buddhist doctrine, Jin Qiaojue was buried in a jar after his death. Three years later, the monks built the tower around the jar and built the temple on the tower column. Hence, Roushen Temple "has a tower in the temple, a jar in the tower and a body in the jar."Qingyang · 18.7 km from downtown
Huatai Viewing Platform
Huatai Viewing Platform is located inHuatai Scenic Area, an excellent place to enjoy natural scenery. The magical "Sleeping Buddha" is located in Huatai. Because it resembles the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva—whose name means "patient and immovable like the earth, deep and secret like a storehouse"—it is vivid and fitting, and is regarded by believers as a manifestation of the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, known as "Ling" (spirituality). Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva oversees great vows. Entering Huatai is like seeing the "Buddha's face," and tourists and pilgrims flock here to express their wishes. Many peaks and attractions in the scenic area also carry magical legends and beautiful meanings, such as "Dagufeng," "Zhongfeng," "Huixianfeng," "Fomen," "Jieshi," and "Jixiangsong." Huatai Scenic Area is known as "the most beautiful place in Mount Jiuhua"! It is the embodiment of natural elegance. Every year from April–June is the season when the mountain flowers bloom, earning it the reputation of the "Flower Market in the Sky"! The mountain flowers are mostly alpine rhododendrons, with wild orchids, cherry blossoms, and wisteria also present. In summer, besides being cool, if you are lucky, you will see the unique Huatai sea of clouds. The vast area to the east resembles the East China Sea, and the intersection with the Baisui Mountain Range to the west forms a natural Huatai Port. The "Autumn Colors of Huatai" is also a beautiful landscape in Mount Jiuhua, a paradise for photography and painting. A glance or a captured moment is like a natural, rustic oil painting. The winter snow scenery and rime make people feel like they have traveled through time, as if constantly switching between a fairy tale and an underwater world. The scenic area's high-altitude plank road is 1.4 km long. While experiencing the different sensations brought by the elevation changes, you can also fully appreciate the spirituality and elegance of Mount Jiuhua. Hence the travel guide: "Pray for blessings at Mount Jiuhua, walk the Huatai."Qingyang · 17.9 km from downtown
Qingyuan Mountain Scenic Spot
Qingyuan Mountain Scenic Area is located in Jinfeng Village, Youhua Town, Qingyang County, Chizhou City, an ecological demonstration city. It is 15 kilometers away from the county seat and 30 kilometers away from Jiuhua Mountain, one of the four famous Buddhist mountains in China. The Attraction covers an area of more than 6 square kilometers. It is a tourist destination that integrates natural landscapes and cultural landscapes such as Buddhist temples, Five Hundred Arhats Mountain, karst caves, strange rocks, maple forests, and nurseries. The Attraction is strictly developed and constructed in accordance with the national 4A Attraction standards. According to legend, Qingyuan Mountain once had only one peak, which was later split into two halves by the gods and was also called Liangfen Mountain. Because there is a clear spring in the mountain that gurgles out and never dries up, it has been regarded as fairy water since ancient times, so it is named Qingyuan. The "Qingyuan Zen Temple" was built here at the end of the Song Dynasty and has been there ever since. The Five Hundred Arhats Mountain in the area is where the Tang Dynasty monk Jin Dizang took the east road when he first came to Jiuhua Mountain. He settled down here and left a miraculous mark on the stone mountain behind the temple, vowing that all sentient beings could eliminate the troubles of the three realms and attain the status of Arhat. Later generations asked skilled craftsmen to carve five hundred Arhats on the stone mountain according to its color and material, which made it famous. In addition, on June 19, 2012, Master Cijue, who was practicing in Qingyuan Zen Temple, made a great wish to retreat in this precious place for 18 years, which became a major event in the Buddhist community. Qingyuan Holy Land is a highlight of the Attraction. The 2.8-meter-high statue of the God of Wealth in the cave has always been a sacred statue that people must worship to pray for good fortune and prosperity.Qingyang · 19.7 km from downtown
