Located in Pingliang City, Gansu Province, Kuntong Mountain is the fortress of the ancient Silk Road in the west out of The Pass, and is one of the first batch of 5A-level scenic spots, national key scenic spots, national geological parks and national nature reserves. The natural landscape of the scenic spot is strange and dangerous, the cultural landscape is simple and exquisite, and it has the reputation of "the first mountain in the west" and "the wonder of the west town" since ancient times.
According to legend, Guang chengzi cultivated the Tao on this mountain, and the Yellow Emperor came to ask Guang Chengzi, which is why it is called "the first mountain of Taoism under heaven". After successive generations of construction, pavilions, pagodas, pagodas, temples, and ancient pagodas chime bells are all over the peaks. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, people called the scenic spots on the mountain "The Twelve Views of Kuntong": Xiangfeng Doulian, Xianqiao Hongjian, Zhentou Diecui, Moonstone Beads, Spring Melting Candles, Jade Spray Glass, Crane Cave Yuanyun and so on.

The sea of clouds on Kuntong Mountain is also moving and static, moving in silence, still in movement, and Lin Hai and the temple halls have painted a beautiful picture of ancient meaning.
No matter which direction you travel from, the scenery along the way is beautiful and makes you happy and unforgettable.
When you climb up the winding path, the autumn leaves of Kuntong Mountain, looking out from the mountain, are full of mountains, brilliant and dazzling, like a cluster of fiery red rainbows, the wind blows the leaves, the leaves flow, at this time you can only sigh the magic of nature, and willingly be captured by the "autumn rhyme" that spreads throughout the mountains. If you have a relationship with the KunTong Sea of Clouds, after the rain, the mountain wind embraces the clouds, sometimes the clouds are steaming and foggy, sometimes the fog locks the mountains, just like the dragons going out to sea, ten thousand horses galloping, and like fairies descending to the mortals, birds and phoenixes. The sea of clouds is mighty and mighty, the time is in full swing, the time is timely, if it is hidden, the ethereal spirit is beautiful, the illusion is unpredictable, just like being in the Penglai Wonderland, the Queen Mother Yaochi, the light singing and dancing, the body and mind are condensed, and the heart has long followed the Guangcheng immortals to swim in the vast sky.

The three main peaks are covered with dense green pines, and without exception, they have rooted deep roots in the crevices of the rocks, covering the abrupt rocks, stretching straight to the sky, showing a straight posture, giving people a high-spirited spirit. The second is the side peak on the side of the main peak, which is based on pure green, because there is a pine forest at hand, and where you can see, it is a colorful shrub forest such as red, yellow, and brown. The third is the high sky overlook, the Yunhai Feixia zipline connects the main peak of Songming Rock and the opposite earth mountain, the main peak is composed of rocks, growing green pine, and the mountain on the opposite bank is earthy, growing trees and shrubs.
