Highlights:
Daxian Zhenfo Mountain is located in Fushan Township in the middle of the Qilixia Mountains, more than 30 kilometers south of Daxian City. It is a well-known Buddhist resort. According to county records, during the reign of Emperor Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, Jiang Dehua, a farmer, practiced enlightenment while practicing medicine and growing medicine. He was known as "Jiang Shanren" and "Jiang Living Buddha" and built his own "Dehua Temple". Afterwards, Sun Mou, the prefect of Suiding Prefecture, went to seek the heir and got it. He believed in his spirit and praised him as "a true Buddha". True Foshan Mountain is steep. From the foot of the mountain to the gate, the pines and cypresses are densely surrounded, and the eaves and Zhuliang are raised. There are thousands of stone steps straight to the top of the mountain, like a cloud ladder hanging in the air.
