Ascend the Heavenly Pillar. Attain Heaven's Favor | A Springtime Fairytale of Cloud Seas on the Immortal Mountain

At Tianzhushan during the May Day holiday, the alpine azaleas are in full bloom. The mountains are covered with blossoms, glowing like rosy clouds, beautifully set off by the deep green pines.

This site preserves more than 400 cliff inscriptions dating from the Zhenyuan period of the Tang Dynasty to the Republic of China. Masterpieces by celebrated literary figures such as Wang Anshi, Huang Tingjian, and Su Dongpo are hidden along the rock walls beside the flowing stream. All five major script styles—regular, cursive, clerical, running, and seal script—can be found here, making it not only a vivid history lesson, but also a beautiful introduction to Chinese calligraphy.

The museum is highly interactive and rich in technology, making it easy to spend half a day exploring.
