The First Mountain of Taoism in China!

"The First Mountain of Taoism in China," Kongtong Mountain 🎑, is located in Pingliang, Gansu 😜. To the east, it overlooks Xi'an; to the west, it connects to Lanzhou; to the south, it borders Baoji; and to the north, it reaches Yinchuan 🤗. It is a crucial pass on the ancient Silk Road leading out of the Guanzhong region. Since ancient times, it has been praised as "The First Mountain Coming from the West," "The Marvel of the Western Town," and "The Scenic Beauty of Kongtong Mountain is Unmatched in the World" 👏. Legend has it that the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan once visited Kongtong Mountain to seek advice on governance and health from the wise Guangchengzi 😃. Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of Han also visited the mountain out of admiration 👑. Literary figures such as Sima Qian, Du Fu, Bai Juyi, Lin Zexu, and Tan Tong have all praised Kongtong Mountain in their writings 📜. This place is also an excellent summer resort 🎈, cool and refreshing during the summer, making it perfect for a visit 🌳. You must visit it at least once in your lifetime 😜!
