Basic introduction of Wuwang scenic spot
The national key scenic spot, located 40 kilometers northwest of Jiyuan City, with a total area of 265 square kilometers, is one of the nine famous mountains in ancient China, where the story of "Yugong Mountain" happened. During the Han and Wei Dynasties, the King of Wu was listed as the first of the top ten caves in Taoism, and was called "the first cave in the world". The elevation of Tiantan Mountain, the main peak, is1715m. It is the place where Xuanyuan Huangdi, the ancestor of the Chinese nation, set up an altar to worship heaven. Known as "the ridge of Taihang Mountain" and "the pillar of heaven". The forest coverage rate of the whole scenic spot is over 98%, and the most peculiar one is the ginkgo tree with a history of more than 2,000 years, which is called "the living fossil of the world plants".
Legend has it that the place where the mountain was moved is in Chaoyang. This is a north-south ridge extending from the main peak of the King of Wu. To the west of the ridge is Gong Yu Village, and to the east is Xiaoyou River. People in Gong Yu Village go to Xiaoyou River to get water every day. It was this big mountain ridge that caused them a lot of inconvenience, so Gong Yu led his children and grandchildren to dig it out. Now we can see that in the middle of this big ridge, a Oyamaguchi is really broken. From a distance, it really looks like manual excavation. The main scenic spots of the King of Wu are Balcony Palace, Wei Zi Palace, Tiantan Peak, Quyang Lake and Wangmudong. Climbing the Tiantan Peak is the main content of the King of Wu, and the whole tourist route is 50 kilometers long.
The King of Wu is centered on the Temple of Heaven, the main peak of which is surrounded by mountains, and has a unique "king style". According to the earliest geographical record "Yugong" in China, it was named after "the mountain shape is like a palace". Mount Tiantan, the main peak, is 17 15 meters above sea level and is known as the "pillar of the world". According to legend, in ancient times, the incense here was very strong and full of aura. Here, you can get a child, rain and rain, and all your wishes come true! Xuanyuan, the ancestor of the Chinese nation, is the place where the Yellow Emperor worships heaven. For thousands of years, it has been regarded as a sacred place for Chinese descendants to unify the world.

Today, the King of Wu is a secluded cave in Yamazaki, with many scenic spots. The main attractions are Balcony Palace, Wei Zi Palace, Tiantan Peak and Wangmudong. Climbing the Tiantan Peak is the main content of "Wang Zhai", and the whole tourist route is 50 kilometers long.
Balcony Palace is located in the west of Gong Yu Village at the foot of Wuwang Mountain, which is the starting point of Wuwang's tourist route. The existing buildings are built from south to north, along the mountain, and from low to high, which are strewn at random and magnificent, showing the wisdom of craftsmen in ancient China. The balcony palace was built in the Tang Dynasty, and the existing main building, Sanqing Hall and Huangyuting, was rebuilt in the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty. What attracts tourists' attention most is the Jade Emperor Pavilion, a pavilion-style building with triple eaves, which is breathtaking. Dozens of pairs of stone pillars on the main building make this religious shrine a palace of stone carving art; The pillars are carved with rolling Yunlong, birds in the wind, magpies making plum blossoms, and Suwu shepherding sheep. The Eight Immortals who crossed the sea, the Yellow Emperor who fought against Chiyou, and so on, were all resurrected in the early days and prepared to go out of the mountain. The balcony palace is luxuriant with pines and cypresses. One of the seven-leaf bodhi trees, with a circumference of nearly 3 meters and a height of 14 meters, was handed down from the Tang Dynasty.
Taoism once flourished in the history of China. Sima Cheng, a famous Taoist priest in the Tang Dynasty, became a monk and became a king of Wu, which made Taoism here a great victory. The thousand-year-old pines and cypresses set off the palace view, as if telling the later generations the little-known glory and sadness. In the Classic of Heaven and Hell written by Sima Chengzhen, Mount Wu was designated as "the first cave in the world", also known as "the first mountain in the world".
