Unexpectedly, Shaanxi has such a unique landscape
Speaking of which, I've traveled quite a bit around Shaanxi, but I didn't expect that at the border of Shaanxi and Gansu, in Long County, Baoji, there would be such a unique sight.
...
Longmen Cave Scenic Area in Long County is one of the most perilous hanging Taoist temples in China, known as the 'Little Huashan'.
This is my first time in Long County. I haven't been to Guanshan Grassland yet, but I came here first because of its reputation, and it was definitely worth the trip! It even exceeded my expectations, and I feel that the ticket money was well spent!
...
The biggest impression Longmen Cave left on me is its 'immortality'.
...
On one hand, it's the 'immortality' of the landscape—canyons, cliffs, caves, and heavenly ladders, hidden in the dense forests of Longshan, making it perfect for reclusive cultivation.
...
On the other hand, it's the 'immortality' of the Taoist atmosphere. Longmen Cave is a Taoist 'blessed land', the founding place of the Longmen sect of the Quanzhen School of Taoism established by Qiu Chuji!
...
Even today, it remains a place for Taoist practice. Taoist masters can be seen everywhere on the mountain, their robes fluttering, as light as swallows.
