| Beiyue Mount Hengshan | |
Hengshan is famous for steepy ridges, splendid peaks, exotic-shaped temples, and gushing fountains, together with oddly-shaped stones and forests of ancient trees, which constitutes a beautiful landscape. It is called "The First Mountain Guarding the North Borders", depicting its magnitude and wonder. Stamp featuring Xuankong (Suspending or Mid-air) Temple, built 1,400 years ago, hosts worship for the Taoists, Confucians and Buddhists. The temple is hung on the middle of the cliff and is still in perfect conditions after so many years. Stamp featuring the beauty of Hengshan Mountain. Standing high in the mountain, with the clouds floating under your feet and the wind in the pine trees resounding above your head, the mountain peaks occasionally appearing and disappearing in the clouds, that’s the beauty of the scenery. |
