introduce

Longtou Temple was originally named Tayantou, which was named after the original Kongwang Pagoda Courtyard on the loess slope under the rock. Later, Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, came to Mianshan Mountain to thank the rain and saw the appearance of Shuanglong, so he changed his current name. The stone archway of Longmen stands on the key pass and is exquisitely shaped. It is one of the landmark buildings in Mianshan. When you climb the Longtou Temple, you can see the fertile fields thousands of miles below the mountain and the beautiful scenery of the Jinnan Plain.

Longtou Temple is in the Mianshan Scenic Area. If you take the Mianshan scenic spot traffic car, the first stop is Longtou Temple. The mountain of Longtou Temple is really high. If you want to go to Longji Ridge, it is faster to take the cable car, and you will not be tired.

Longtou Temple is the first scenic spot in the scenic area. Inside is a temple that enshrines Guandi and other Buddha statues. I didn't visit it carefully. There are few tourists. You can see the ruins of Tangying inside.

The first stop on the scenic spot bus at Jiexiu Mianshan is Longtou Temple, because the building of the temple is built on the edge of the cliff, so named like a dragon's head stretching out to the land of North China. As soon as I got off the car and saw this temple, I felt a bright light in my eyes, and this temple established a good impression of Mianshan.

Longtou Temple, formerly known as Tatou Temple, was named after the ancient Kongwang Pagoda Courtyard on the loess slope under the rock. In the 15th year of Zhenguan in the later Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong came to the mountains to thank the rain, and changed his name to the current name when he happened to meet a dragon. Longtou Temple Scenic Area is the first scenic spot to arrive from Mianshan Ticketing Center by sightseeing bus. There are many scenic spots to see here, such as: Nantianmen, Tangying, Guandi Temple, Zhenwu Temple, Taizong Fushi Pavilion, etc. There is a large stone tablet in Taizong Fushi Pavilion. Behind the stone tablet is Taizong Fu's poem, and in front is Taizong's portrait. The white lines are very thin, so you can see it carefully. The portrait of Taizong shows that Taizong is rich, unrestrained and mediocre. I took Longtou Temple as the last stop of Mianshan tourism. When I arrived, there were a few tourists. A woman who claimed to be an interpreter took the initiative to explain Longtou Temple to us for free, especially telling us how to step on the natural color and red on the ground. Finally, I found out that she wanted us to buy a small bell with a red ribbon. We could write our name and wishes on the ribbon and hang it in a designated place. It cost 10 yuan each, but no passenger was willing to buy it. , she was busy in vain, no matter what, I am very grateful for her explanation. Longtou Temple Scenic Area, if you want to visit carefully, one or two hours is needed.
