The Incense Burner Temple is located on the cliff side of the Yellow River in the northeast of Jia County, and was built during the Ming Dynasty. The temple is not large, because it is built on the top of the cliff on three sides of the Yellow River, it looks very steep. What is even more magical is that the mountain extends to the front end of the Yellow River, and the rock is suddenly disconnected vertically like an axe, forming an isolated, cut-out boulder with a flat top, and a small red temple is built on top of the boulder, which is connected to the main body of the temple on the other side of the cliff by a small wooden bridge of 3 meters long. From a distance, the boulders and the temples on them resemble candles or incense burners, hence the name of the temple.
The temple itself is nothing special, but this incense burner peak is very peculiar and worth seeing. "Incense burner evening illumination" is one of the eight scenic spots in Jia County, because whenever the sun sets in the west, the afterglow of the sun projects the reflection of the lone pavilion into the yellow river stream, which is picturesque. Looking around, the rolling waves rush from between the two mountains, rolling over, meandering and disappearing into the distance, giving people unlimited reverie. What is unpleasant is that you need to buy 20 yuan ticket to climb the incense burner peak, the temple is very small, there is nothing to see except the incense burner peak, 20 yuan ticket is too expensive, and finally we all give up.
