Deciphering the natural and cultural codes of Lingtong Mountain
Lingtong Mountain, a mountain full of mystery and charm. Its steep peaks and peculiar rocks sketch out a majestic natural canvas. The perilous peaks stand tall like guards, protecting this piece of heaven and earth; the strange stones and bizarre rocks seem to tell the stories of the ages.
The cultural code of Lingtong Mountain is even more colorful. Ancient temples are hidden among the forests, with morning bells and evening drums carrying the millennia of religious heritage and faith. The poems and inscriptions left by literati through the ages are the sediment of culture and the crystallization of wisdom. Every relic and every legend contains the unique cultural genes of Lingtong Mountain.
Lingtong Mountain, it is a cipher of the perfect integration of nature and culture, waiting for people to delve into and explore its endless mysteries and beauty.

Stop asking, I regret not coming to Fujian earlier; my legs are done but the memory is unforgettable
📍Ling Tong Temple, built on a cliff a thousand meters high, is a hanging ancient temple. Although it's not large, the scenery is superb and it's a great spot for taking photos. On sunny days, you can see the beautiful landscape below at a glance, and on rainy days, there are beaded curtain waterfalls, and if you're lucky, you might even see a sea of clouds.
🚫The only way to the mountain is on foot, there are no cable cars or sightseeing vehicles, suitable for hiking enthusiasts.
