The Badachu (simplified Chinese:
Three Mountains
[edit]The north one is Hutou Mountain(
Cuiwei Mountain is also called Pingpo Mountain. The name of the mountain shows that the mountain's pines and cypresses are evergreens. It is the highest one among the three mountains. It is famous for being the burial place of Princess Cuiwei. The mountain contains five temples, which are Sanshanan Nunnery, Dabei Temple, Longquan Nunnery, Xiangjie Temple, and Baozhu cave.[2] The mountain is the main body of Badachu Park. There is also a yellow beads hole in the mountain.
Hutou Mountain means the head of a tiger. That is because the shape of the peak of the mountain is like the head of a tiger and the whole mountain is just like a lying tiger. In the historical record, Hutou Mountain is also called Mingjue Mountain(
Qinglong Mountain means green dragon. The shape of the mountain is just like a green dragon circling. The east part of it is also called Lushi Mountain. It is famous for the legend of monk Lu Shi. According to the legend, at the end of the Sui dynasty, Lu Shi tamed two dragons and buried them in the mountain. The mountain also has the ruins of four more temples and a yard. Its cultural heritage is extremely profound. The mountain has one of the Eight Temples, which is Zhengguo Temple.[2]
Visiting
[edit]Visitors can walk from one temple to another, viewing the area's scenery, arbor, and rare ancient trees. Some of these trees have been standing for over six centuries, but their roots and branches are still strong and in good shape. In September and October, when the leaves are turning red, crowds of tourists come to climb the mountains. There is a cable-car to the top of the hill.
