Major Attractions of Mt. Heng
The Hanging Monastery

The Hanging Monastery is regarded as "the first view of Hengshan" meaning the finest view. It was built 1,500 years ago and is regarded as one of the most amazing temples in China. The proverb "the Hanging Monastery is just like three horse tails in mid-air" best describes the overall image of the temple.

North PeakTemple

Beiyue Temple (a.k.a. Shrine of the Northern Peak) is Hengshan's only Taoist temple. It is situated on its West Peak, concealing itself in true, humble Taoist fashion, among dense pines.
The Sweet and Bitter Wells

The Sweet and Bitter Wells are located halfway up Mt. Heng. They are the most fantastic natural wonder of Hengshan.Although found together, the water of one well is "sweet" (tastes cool and refreshing), but the other is "bitter" (has a decidedly unpleasant after taste).

Another oddity is that, although the Sweet Well is only a few feet deep, its water is inexhaustible.
Chinese Red Pines

Many of the evergreen trees —mainly the Chinese Red Pine — on Mt. Heng have craggy, grotesque shapes. Four of the most exquisite old specimens of Chinese Red Pine on Hengshan stand straight and tall ("proudly and elegantly" some would say), their roots visible like claws gripping the rocky mountainside.
