Mount Jizu

Mount Jizu reaches an elevation of 3,240 meters, featuring dense forests, bamboo groves, and a distinctive three-peaked summit resembling a chicken's foot.

The mountain's religious heritage began during the Three Kingdoms period, leading to the construction of 42 temples and 65 nunneries by the late seventeenth century.

The mountain marks the intersection of Chinese and Tibetan Buddhism, with Tianzhu Peak housing the Jinding Temple and a 42-meter-tall thirteen-layer pagoda.

Visitors can reach the summit via a five-minute cable car ride, a two-hour climb up stone stairs, or a multi-day trek along the mountain ridge.

Mount Jizu contains the Zhusheng Temple, rebuilt during the Ming Dynasty, featuring a semi-circular pond and an octagonal pavilion at its center.
