Fantasy scenery, full of infinite magical colors.

Throughout the ages, many literati and poets have traveled here, leaving behind many poems, songs and calligraphy works by famous writers. There is a poem written by an eminent monk in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties: "Preaching the wonders of deeds by gods and immortals, they often ride bamboo horses across Longpi. The purple smoke is not extinguished by the fire of the elixir, and the green is far away from the ancient road monument. When the moon rises, I can still hear the sight of traveling in the blue stream, and the flowers are blooming. Who wrote the new poem? It is not known whether the fragrant wind in the mountains and forests spread to the world. "Zhou Bangdao, an educator from Ruijin Huangbai who was the first to win the college entrance examination in the Republic of China, once studied here and called himself "Longwu Mountain Woodcutter" and "Longwu Jushi".

If you stand on the top of Longwu Mountain and look up into the distance, you will see the vastness of the sky and the earth, the mountains are covered with green and gold, thousands of acres of orange and yellow, the fragrance of fruit tea from ten miles away, and you can have a panoramic view of the infinite scenery. If it's spring and autumn, all you can see is clouds and mist, changing rapidly. People walking there, stepping on the clouds, suddenly feel "entering into the ethereal space, forgetting all the worldly concerns", as if they have transformed into immortals, which makes people feel refreshed, breathtaking, and forget to leave.

The temple is famous for its mountains, and the mountains are magical because of their immortality. Longwuxian Temple is famous for its simplicity, elegance and aggregation of auras. At present, through the strong support of governments at all levels and the collective efforts of believers and people from all over the world, efforts are being made to build it into a beautiful place for leisure and sightseeing and a place for worshiping Buddha and praying.
