It is a provincial key cultural relics protection unit. Sun Moon Mountain Sun Moon Mountain was originally named Chiling. Located in the southwest of Huangyuan County and the southeast of Qinghai Lake, it is not only the junction of Huangyuan County and * * * County, but also the dividing line of agricultural and pastoral areas in Qinghai. At an altitude of 3520 meters, it is the only place for tourists to enter the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Therefore, it is known as the barrier of the West Sea and the gateway of the grassland.
It is said that Princess Wencheng passed through this mountain when she entered Tibet. She climbed to the top of the mountain with a mirror on her back and looked east, but she couldn't see her hometown Chang 'an. Her sadness began in her heart, and the empty mirror fell to the ground and split in two, half turned into a golden sun and half into a silver moon. The sun and the moon complement each other, illuminating her journey to the west. It became a transit point for the exchange of materials and the exchange of envoys between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo. At present, there is a green stone tablet at the mountain pass, which reads the words sun, moon and mountain. There are sun pavilions and moon pavilions at the top of the mountain. At the foot of the mountain there is an inverted river with a unique flow direction. Standing on the top of the mountain, looking east, it is pastoral; Looking west, the rippling Qinghai Lake and the beautiful Haixinshan are completely different from the pastoral scenery. So tourists say that climbing Sun Moon Mountain is another heavy day.
At the foot of Moon Mountain, there are patches of forests, boundless grasslands and white clouds on the mountainside. Sun Mountain, formerly known as Chiling, was renamed because of the story of Princess Wencheng in the Tang Dynasty. Tanghe River, which has been flowing westward, is unique and has become a great spectacle.
Sun Moon Mountain is the boundary ridge between agricultural and pastoral areas in Qinghai. Climbing to the top of the mountain, you can see the rich and beautiful Huangshui River Valley in the east. The clear Hunan water twists and turns among the mountains, nourishing the fertile soil on both sides of the strait and nurturing the hardworking people here. Convenient northwest is the magnificent Qinghai Lake; The southwest is endless, the grassland is boundless, tents are dotted, smoke is curling, and countless cattle, sheep and horses roll on the green grass like colorful pearls; At the foot of Xishan Mountain, 40 kilometers away from Sun Moon Mountain, is the famous Daotang River, and dozens of kilometers to the south are the roaring Yellow River and the world-famous Longyangxia.
