About Zhenyuan County, Guizhou
Zhusheng Bridge provides the approach to Qinglongdong, a complex that brings together Buddhist, Daoist and scholarly buildings. From the river, their position against the rock is as striking as the individual halls. Mount Shiping offers a higher view of the river bend, but its climb is a separate extension to a riverside visit.
What to look for
- Zhusheng Bridge frames the river and the cliffside buildings.
- Qinglongdong combines Zhongyuan Chan Temple, Ziyang Academy and Wanshou Palace on the hillside.
