Outline of the general itinerary: The route of Dome Mountain is actually not difficult, but the slope of the mountain is steep at first. At the entrance of the north gate, it is said that the red pine nuts in Shennong era used red stone grease to refine the elixir on the dome hill. When Pinus densiflora is refining elixir, it washes the water of herbs-"Dan Spring". After seeing the "Danquan", they can go for a walk in the nearby "Tiezhu Pavilion" and then walk from Imperial Road to Shangzhen Temple. During the Imperial Road, they can feel the Imperial Road that they have prayed for six times and enjoy it.

There are many forks in the road to Shangzhenguan, and there is also a troublesome six-fork road, so we should distinguish the direction. On the left hand side is Wang Hu Garden, parking lot 1 is directed to Sun Wuyuan and Zhu Maichen Reading Desk, parking lot No.3 is directed to Bell and Drum Tower, and downhill is directed to Ningbang Temple and Stage. Go to Wang Hu Garden first. Wang Hu Garden District includes Huancui Building and Wang Hu Building, which goes further. This is a good place overlooking the mountain scenery. There are several observation platforms along the road, and you can have a panoramic view of the green mountains. It is said that Qianlong once overlooked the mountain scenery here.

Then I went to a very important scenic spot on the mountain, where Sun Wu wrote The Art of War-Sun Wuyuan. In Sun Wuyuan's teahouse, you can recall the scene where Sun Wu and his friends played chess while drinking tea. Climbing up the stairs is Zhu Maichen's reading desk. On a rock, scholar Du Mu inscribed "The Land where Zhu Gong, the satrap of Han Huiji, studied". Zhu Maichen, the minister of the Western Han Dynasty, used to be very poor. He liked reading and was afraid of being laughed at. He secretly read books on the rocks and hid under them, so the book collection town in the north of Dome Mountain was named after him. Then go back to Liucha Road and take the direction of Bell and Drum Tower, which belongs to the tall building of Ningbang Temple. Next to Ningbang Temple, the temple was built in the Liang Dynasty and rebuilt in the 12th year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty. It was originally called Haiyun Temple. After Yue Fei was killed, Han Shizhong lived in seclusion in Canglang Pavilion, Suzhou, and often came to the temple to participate in meditation. Because he still cares about the country, he changed the name of the temple to Ningbang Temple. The most worth seeing in the temple is the Haiyun Zen Cave 18.8 meters long imitation of the reclining Buddha in the Tang Dynasty. Although it's new, it's beautiful. After visiting Han Shizhong's platform of worrying about the country with his subordinates in his later years, he walked all the way down the mountain and left the main entrance of the scenic spot.
