Lumen Temple National Forest Park is located in the southeast of Xiangyang, across the water from Gulongzhong. It is composed of Lumen Mountain, Bawang Mountain, Xianglu Mountain, Shizi Mountain and Lijia Mountain, which together form the scenery of the holy mountain. From a distance, the five mountains are like fairies, shrouded in clouds and mist, appearing and disappearing, which makes people yearn for it and want to embrace it. Lumen Temple is a scenic spot in the Attraction. Lumen Temple is located on the hillside of Lumen Mountain. It was built during the Jianwu period of the Eastern Han Dynasty and is a famous Buddhist holy place in China. According to the county annals, Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty and his close minister Xi Yu dreamed of a temple here, so they built a temple to commemorate it. When Lumen Temple was prosperous, there were more than 500 houses such as Buddhist halls and dining halls. It is said that "riding a horse to close the mountain gate". After several damages, it was gradually restored in 1980. There are currently scenic spots related to Buddhist temples, such as Lumen Archway, Octagonal Well, Skylight, Storm Pool, Dragon Head Pool, etc. The Attraction is beautiful and quiet. Meng Haoran and Pi Rixiu, the inheritors of landscape painting in the Tang Dynasty, lived in seclusion here successively, leaving many famous works. Later generations built many memorial buildings, including "Pang Gong Medicine Cave", "Haoran Pavilion", "Sangao Temple" (with statues of Pang Tong, Meng Haoran and Pi Rixiu) and more than 100 steles from the Song, 1910 and Qing dynasties. There are 5 Attraction and 32 scenic spots in Lumen Mountain and nearby hills, including "Shanmen Cuiwei", "Poetry Legacy", "Lumen Seclusion", "Shaqiu Dianhou" and "Xianglu Qiuhong".
There is nothing to watch, spring tour or autumn tour is suitable, you can drive in, it is more convenient. The mountain road has been in disrepair for a long time. When I went there, there were too many 🐞 on the mountain, thousands of people, climbing all over. You can slip away with more time.
Lumen Mountain Scenic Area has mountains, temples and culture, surrounded by mountains, green trees, deep and quiet. Lumen Temple is located on Lumen Mountain, Dongjin Town, about 15 kilometers south of Xiangyang City. It was built during the Jianwu period of the East Han Dynasty. It is a Buddhist resort and a gathering place for literati and Yashi since the Han and Tang Dynasty. The famous man Pang Degong and the great poet Meng Haoran of the Tang Dynasty lived here. The Haoran Temple in the scenic area is a good place to enjoy Tang poetry and understand Tang poets. Worth a visit.
In addition to the forest park, Lumen Temple, ancient cottage relics, as well as Meng Haoran Memorial Hall and Haoran College, the environment inside is very beautiful, antique, there are Meng Haoran's life and works introduction, as well as restaurant tea bar and so on.
Lumen Mountain has become beautiful, the environment is really good, mainly because there are few people, the advertising is not enough, so there are not many tourists. If you are afraid of crowding people, you will come here. There is a parking lot at the gate. Private cars cannot enter, so there is no exhaust pollution in the scenic area. It is safe to walk on the road. You can take a battery car up and down the mountain, unlimited times up and down, very convenient
The bus map shows it, and the station sign shows it. It is directly to the door of Lumen Mountain, but you are so far away, you add another level, put that, the bus stops two stops in advance, and then starts selling tickets. Did this trick learn from Tibet? Lumen Temple has nothing to see, you can go to the Suningshan Road to see, and the Haoranju.
Most of the attractions are post-built. Humanistic landscape is general. The name does not match the truth. I went to Meng Haoran. After reading it, I feel average. Management is still lacking, and some local signs are lacking. The traffic is not convenient. Because it is off-season, I went to the taxi. When I came back, there was no car. It was said that there was a bus for a long time. It is not recommended to go.
Tickets are 20 yuan per person, and if you want to drive into the park, you will add a parking fee of five yuan per car. There are also buses 52 directly to the park, but unfortunately there are very few trains, only 4 or 5 trips a day is too difficult to wait. In addition to the mountain-filled forest, the beautiful natural environment, there is a small Lumen Temple, personally think that the large stone forest and plank road of the poetry path are also very interesting, you can take the children to drill in the exploration.
