Be an adventurer and scale Tianma Mountain, the largest and tallest mountain in the area. Tianma literally means "Heavenly Horse"—the mountain got this unusual name because locals think the mountain looks like a flying horse. As you climb the mountain, which is also known locally as Gan Mountain, you’ll find luxuriant plants and many historic temples like Huzhu Pagoda and the Light of Buddha, which still draw a lot of worshipers today.
