Heming Mountain is the birthplace of Taoism in China and is a famous Taoist mountain. It is adjacent to Qingcheng Mountain (about 30 kilometers) in the north, Emei Mountain (about 120 kilometers) in the south, Wuzhong Mountain (about 10 miles) in the west, and reaches the western Sichuan Plain, about 70 kilometers away from Chengdu. It is named for its resemblance to cranes, mountain Tibetan stone cranes, and mountain dwelling cranes. It is one of the four famous mountains in ancient Jiannan. Here, the mountains are majestic, the forests are luxuriant, and the double streams are surrounded, which looks like a standing crane with wings spread out; the scenic area is full of pines and cypresses, verdant, and the mountain streams are calm and sound. It is a well-known scenic spot and summer resort.
There are many scenic spots and historic sites in Heming Mountain Scenic Area. The main scenic spots include Sangong Temple, Wenchang Palace, Taiqing Palace, Jieyuan Pavilion, Bagua Pavilion, Yingxian Pavilion and the "Daoyuan Holy City" under construction. There are also twenty-four caves in Heming Mountain. Cao Xuequan of the Ming Dynasty said in "Scenic Spots in Shuzhong" that "there are twenty-four caves in the mountain, corresponding to twenty-four qi (five days are one wai, and three wai are one qi). The entrance of the cave is about three meters wide. The depth is unfathomable. Every time one breath is passed, a hole is opened, and the rest are invisible." So it is called twenty-four holes.
Heming Mountain Taoist Temple was approved as a key cultural relic protection unit by the Chengdu Municipal Government in 1985, and was approved as a Taoist open site in 1987. The "Chinese Taoist Cultural Festival" also set up a venue in Heming Mountain.
