There are many mountains in western Hunan, and there are not a few unknown generations. There are more than 2,000 mountain peaks in Luxi County alone. But the Tianqiao Mountain, which is only 776.5 meters above sea level, is not famous. The word "Tianqiao Mountain" on the main gate of Huayan Pavilion on the mountain is written by the famous poet Wang Changling in the Tang Dynasty.

It is not easy to reach this mountain. Follow the shrimp stream on the north bank of Wu Shui, and a section of nearly a kilometer -long and steep "good Han slope", it is difficult to be a lot of people. Going up, when the trees on the roadside are dense to the sun, they can only borrow the wind in order to spill a little light spots, not far from the Tianqiao Ancient Road.

The ancient road of Tianqiao is the only way to go up the mountain, located on the ridge of more than a hundred feet high. The ancient roads are narrow, and only one person can pass through. Standing on the bridge overlooking, both sides of the feet are a thousand -foot -deep cliff, which can't help but be shocked. According to legend, in the Ming Dynasty, this place was a gap. Only a few wooden tied to the bridge. People could only crawl and crawl like a goat with their hands and feet, so they were named "Yangqiao Mountain" and "Tianqiao Mountain". "The bridge will be across the mountain, and the bridge will tremble." It has been circulating here since ancient times.

After passing the Tianqiao Ancient Road, you can really enter the mountain. There are many monuments here. The coexistence of ancient temples and Taoism is a rare place in the country. The three temples of the Arctic Palace, Lingguan Hall, and Huayan Pavilion from the Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty were built from the Song Dynasty. It was scattered on the ridge with a slope of 70 degrees.

There is an ancient ginkgo tree near Huayan Pavilion, with a height of 28 meters and a tree around 8 meters. It takes a few people to hold it together. Now it is already 2600 years old. It is a proper Hunan ginkgo "tree king". Whenever late autumn, the ancient charges are endless, and the "King of the Tree" opens the golden Chinese cover. Under the blue curtain of the sky, it is swaying, and it is spectacular. With the autumn wind, the golden leaves flew with the wind, giving the stone steps, stone tiles, ancient roads, and flats under the shade of the tree, and spread a layer of golden yellow.

In the military pavilion world ten miles away, there is also an ancient ginkgo tree in his 2300s. Two ancient ginkgo trees, experienced thousands of years of lightning strikes, frost, and snow pressure, but they are still lush, strong and upright, and vitality. Because of the fruitful results and benefiting the people, it is called the "sister" ginkgo. The morning bell and twilight drums, in the deep mountains of the silent flow, the pair of "sisters" on the Tianqiao Mountain fluttering on the red belt on the ginkgo of ginkgo, sending people's hopes to the distance.
