Template:Short description Template:Infobox mountain Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Sidebar/configuration' not found. Mount Longhu (Chinese: 龙虎山; pinyin: Lónghǔ Shān; lit. 'Dragon Tiger Mountain', Gan: Lung-fu San) is located in Yingtan, Jiangxi, China. It is famous for being one of the birthplaces of Taoism, with many Taoist temples built upon the mountainside. It is particularly important to the Zhengyi Dao as the Shangqing Temple and the Mansion of the Taoist Master (天师府) are located here.[1] It is also known as one of the Four Sacred Mountains of Taoism.
Two notable Taoist temples on Mount Longhu are the temples of Immortal City (Script error: No such module "Lang".) and Zheng Yi (Script error: No such module "Lang".), both founded by Zhang Daoling (Script error: No such module "Lang".), the Han dynasty founder of the religion. There are more Taoist temples in nearby Shangqing (Script error: No such module "Lang".), one of which is mentioned in the beginning of the famous Chinese traditional novel, Outlaws of the Marsh (Script error: No such module "Lang".).
Mount Longhu also has cultural significance as a historical burial site of the Guyue people, who placed the deceased in hanging coffins on the mountain's cliff faces.[2]
In August 2010 UNESCO inscribed Mount Longhu on the World Heritage List as part of the complex of six sites that make up the China Danxia.[3]
Mount Longhu can be reached from the nearby city of Yingtan.
