Chóngxìn

Chongxin lies in the valley of the Rui River east of the Guan Mountains. A fortified town was established here by the Tang general Li Yuanliang, and its name conveyed honour and trust. Above the valley stands Longquan Temple, founded in the Yuan and flourishing under the Ming and Qing. Its halls brought Buddhist, Daoist and Confucian traditions together on the mountain, while springs and old trees formed part of the setting around the shrines.
