Although Lingtong Mountain has a certain altitude, the mountain roads are well-maintained, and there are steps along the way. 🎒 Equipment: Tissues, power bank, sunscreen, hat, warm clothes (it's windy on the mountain), comfortable shoes, coins (for the wishing wall), water, instant noodles (free hot water available on the mountain) 🚩 Recommended Spots 📍 Lingtong Temple: Rated as the "Most Beautiful Hanging Temple in the South" by *National Geographic*! ⛰ Built during the Tang Dynasty, it's constructed against the cliff face, featuring green tiles, redwood, and white walls in the official architectural style. It remains a popular place of worship. - Goddess of Mercy: Inside Lingtong Temple, a giant statue of the Goddess of Mercy quietly guards the land, exuding compassion and serenity, inspiring awe and reverence. - Tongtian Terrace: The perfect spot to enjoy a panoramic view of Lingtong Mountain. Standing on the terrace, you feel as if you can touch the sky, overlooking the rolling mountains and swirling clouds—a truly breathtaking sight. - 📍 Qingtian Peak: The highest peak of Lingtong Mountain.
