Tiantai Mountain (Baoji)
宝鸡天台山
A Qinling mountain scenic area south of Baoji city, said to be where Yandi tasted herbs, with a Shennong Temple and the Yandi bone terrace.
Tiantai Mountain is on the north foot of the Qinling, south of Weibin District, Baoji, not far from the city center. It is a national forest park. Legend says Shennong, the Yandi, gathered herbs and tasted hundreds of them here. The scenic area includes the Shennong Temple, the Incense Burning Terrace, the Yandi Bone Terrace Hall, the Old Lord Hall and the Xuannü Cave. It also has gorges and peaks such as Mengyu Gully, Yangjia Beach and Lotus Summit, which are suitable for hiking. Admission in peak season is about 40 yuan, but confirm with the scenic area. The site is about half an hour by taxi from downtown and can be combined with Yandi Mausoleum in one day. The mountain trails have many steps, so wear non-slip shoes. In summer, watch for falling rocks after rain.
