Longmen Cave is located on Jingfu Mountain in Xinjichuan Town, Longxian County. It is the birthplace of the Longmen sect of the Quanzhen school of Taoism. Legend has it that Qiu Chuji practiced here for seven years. Most of the halls and pavilions are built against cliffs and natural caves, including the Hunyuan Pavilion, the Lingguan Hall and the Qiu Patriarch Cave. Stone steps and plank walkways run between Danxia-style red rocks and pine forests. The mountain is steep, and the Taoist temples are serene. A visit takes about 2–3 hours, and admission follows official information. The site is about 100 km from Baoji city and about 40 km from Longxian county seat.
