If we did not climb up the Mianshan Mountains, we have no chance to enjoy the wonderful scenery of the mountains in Shanxi, not far from Beijing. Its fantastic scenes are attractive, shocking the tourists.
Atop the mountains you will see they are so magnificent that they seem to embrace the universal, everything on the earth. Also you can have a wonderful view of numerous low peaks around the Mianshan Mountains which stand out of them. So this is why such a precipitous mountain attracts flocks of visitors. More than its precipitous cliffs, the mountain demonstrates its great compassion of Buddhism inside. The Mianshan Mountains shows a combination of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. In the area of dozens of kilometers around, ancient temples can be seen everywhere. Owing to limited time, we only visited the famous Yunfeng Temple nearby. The Yunfeng Temple, or Belly-Embracing Rock because it looks like a huge belly held in two hands, is a huge rock cave 60 meters high, 180 meters wide and 50 meters deep. It is famous as the first rock cave in China. Looking up, the temple likes a building on the air, with halls and pavilions standing on different levels and covered corridors zigzagging their ways.
