Guling Mountain

古灵山

A mountain scenic area in the Taihang Mountains of Qi County themed on the novel Investiture of the Gods. Legends of Nüwa's cultivation and King Zhou's incense offering accompany it, and Chaoyang Temple, Linghu Lake, and Stone City are highlights.

Guling Mountain lies in the western Taihang Mountains of Qi County. It is a national 4A-level scenic area with the novel Investiture of the Gods as its theme. Legend says it was where Nüwa cultivated her spiritual powers and where King Zhou offered incense. The scenic area consists of a main section, Chaoyang Temple, Qingliang Hermitage, Linghu Lake, Tongding, and the Qing-dynasty ancient residences of Liangshui Spring Stone City, with more than 130 sights. Mountain roads, plank walks, and canyon streams intertwine, and in autumn the red foliage covers the hills. Admission is about 50 yuan. The site is open 08:00 to 17:00 year-round, and a visit takes half a day to a full day. It is in the western part of Qi County, the same area as Yunmeng Mountain, so the two can be visited on adjacent days.
