Xian Ji Ya Cliff is situated in Jade Dragon Mountain. To be specific, it is under the lowest snow peak on the right side when you look from the face of Jade Dragon Mountain. If those who study at Chinese school in China leave from Yuhu Village, it will take about three hours. Not far away from the top of the giant cliff, there is a famous scenic spot named “Wu Lu Ben Geng”, carrying the meaning of “the belt of the snow mountain”.
The spot on the left slope is named as “Shi RI Bu”, meaning the slope of the Mountain God. In the past time, if people went for hunting there, they should firstly offer sacrifice to the Mountain God. It is said that the most famous Mu Zeng in Mu family saw the declining tendency of the prosperous society in 36 years old. Then, he became the hermit in the mountain alone and roamed around everywhere.
The legend also said that he knew the flying birds and walking animals very well and got well along with them. In addition, he even understood what the birds saying. One day, he lead every species of beast sang and danced on the meadow of the giant cliff and then rode a white horse flying over the cliff and disappeared in the wind and cloud. When you study Mandarin online, you may hear that only the sign of a person riding a horse remained on the cliff. As a result, the later generations named this cliff as Xian Ji Ya Cliff, meaning the cliff with the signs of immortal.
Later, there was a monk built a temple close to the cliff for cultivate himself according to a religious doctrine. Nowadays, you can also see the remains of the ancient temple, hence another name of this place Da Ba Ji CI Dan, meaning the place where monk builds the house, or He Shang Yi Gu, the place that the monk is living.
If those who come to learn Mandarin in China want to go there, they should know that the temperature is about six degree lower than that in the county seat because of the location under Snow Mountain. Therefore, the best season is the summer. Yuhu Village is only about ten kilometers away from Dayan Town and it will take you only three hours.
