Yunlong Mountain

Yunlong Mountain is located south of Xuzhou. The Yunlong Mountain is divided into nine sections and received its name due to a legend. It goes like this, Liu Bang, an emperor of the Han Dynasty (206 BC - 24 AD), once came to this mountain, and his wife, couldn’t find him and began to search for him. She finally found him when she saw a misty mountain, upon which a dragon appeared, surrounded by clouds. Though, in truth, she only saw a series of nine small cloud-covered hills, the name Yunlong (Dragon in the Clouds) Mountain remained. However, Yunlong Mountain is also called Stone Buddha Mountain for the stone Buddha housed in Xinghua Temple on the Mountain. The Yunlong Mountain is home to many historical relics such as the Setting Free Cranes Pavilion and the huge stone sculpture of the Buddha.
If you are lucky enough to come around February 19th, you will witness a yearly festival, the temple fair, located on the mountain. Compared with other mountains, Yunlong Mountain is relatively small; you can either climb it by foot or use the modern cable-car and slide, which conveniently connect you with various scenic spots.
