Kongtong Mountain, a famous mountain known as a martial arts wonderland

💕Kongtong Mountain, a famous historical mountain located in Pingliang, Gansu, is known as the fortress of the Silk Road westward exiting Guanzhong. There are many different opinions about the origin of the name "Kongtong" in history. 🍀Some people believe that this was once the residence of the ancient Kongtong clan, hence the name. Some people also pointed out that Kongtong Mountain belongs to Danxia landform. After long-term weathering and water erosion, many valleys and caves were formed. The word "Kongtong" may be derived from the homonym of "hollow". Another view is related to Taoist beliefs, believing that this mountain is a Taoist holy place, and the word "Kongtong" is taken from the Taoist thought of "empty, quiet and natural". Regardless of the origin of the name, Kongtong Mountain attracts the attention of the world with its unique natural scenery. 🍃The vegetation here is lush and full of vitality even in winter. When clouds and mist cover the valley, it adds a touch of mystery and tranquility. Standing at the bottom of the valley, the thick fog seems to be tangible and pressing in. It is difficult to see objects at a close distance, and everything is immersed in haze. 🌼 💦And when you reach the top of the mountain, the view is even more amazing. The sky is so thick with clouds and mist that it is difficult to distinguish which is cloud and which is mist. The surrounding peaks are looming in the clouds, like islands in the sea, floating and uncertain, as if you are in a fairyland. ❄️If it happens to be after snow, the winter landscape of Kongtong Mountain is even more unique. Snowflakes fluttered, decorating the entire valley into a world covered in silver. The mountains, ravines and caves are covered with white snow, which is crystal clear and beautiful. Under the sunshine, the snow scene is more dazzling and refreshing. 💕The winter beauty of Kongtong Mountain includes both ethereal misty clouds and crystal clear snow scenes, showing the magic and magnificence of nature. 🦌This is not only an important pass in history, but also a fascinating natural resort. Whether you are looking for historical relics or want to get close to nature, Kongtong Mountain can meet your expectations and bring you an unforgettable winter journey. 🐾
