Other visitors' reviews of Langya Mountain Scenic Area
Show More ReviewsLangya Mountain Scenic Area boasts beautiful scenery. Climbing Langya Pavilion, one can enjoy a panoramic view of the vast Chu sky; under the clear blue sky, the ancient pavilion stands majestically. Entering Langya Temple, one can hear the gentle tinkling of wind chimes, listen to the wind in the Beamless Hall, and seek enlightenment within the temple grounds. After descending the mountain, a chance encounter with the Drunken Old Man's Pavilion in the rain reveals the beauty of Ouyang Xiu's "Enjoying its joy" even more vividly amidst the misty rain. It's definitely worth a visit. The shuttle bus from the North Gate takes you to the South Heavenly Gate, then down the mountain, where the mountain breeze keeps you cool and comfortable.
