The Yandang Mountain, one of the famous mountains in China, stands in the southeast of Zhejiang Province and boasts ridges, peaks, caves and waterfalls. Baigangjian, the main peak, is over 1,000 meters above sea level. It is said that there used to be a shallow lake on the top of the mountain, where wild geese stayed in autumns, hence the name (Yandang means “wild geese lake “). The mountain, with beautiful scenery, peculiar peaks, odd-shaped rocks and many waterfalls, has a reputation of the No.1 mountain in Southeast China. It has more than 380 scenic spots, among which the Lingfeng Peak, Lingyan Rock and Falls of Dalongqiu are the most famous, known as “the three superb scenes of the Yandang Mountain”.

2002-19, The Yandang Mountain《雁荡山》

雁荡山–又名雁岩、雁山,位于浙江省东南的乐清市附近,以山水奇秀闻名,素有“海上名山”、“寰中绝胜”之誉,史称中国“东南第一山”,因山顶有湖,芦苇茂密,结草为荡,南归秋雁多宿于此,故名雁荡。

雁荡山系包括苍山支脉,绵延数百公里,按地理位置不同可分为北雁荡山、中雁荡山、南雁荡山,通常所说的雁荡山风景区主要是指北雁荡山。由于处在古火山的频繁活动地带,山体主要由属于火成岩的流纹岩构成,后经断裂构造、河谷下切、岩层崩塌等,才形成今日独具特色的峰、柱、墩、洞、壁等奇岩怪石,在广阔的景区中,触目可见屏、崖、壁、嶂等主要构件,称得上是一个造形地貌博物馆。

雁荡(北雁荡)开始知名于唐初,至(976年)北宋太平兴国元年以后,声誉渐著,寺庙亭院相继而兴,当时曾有十八古刹、十六亭、十院。至明代,雁荡百二奇峰的名称已全部形成。自唐、宋以来,历代名人多有雁荡之游,无不称之“奇绝”,他们留下的众多摩崖石刻,更使雁荡山成为一座“文史宝库”。
