Yun Mountain

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yun Mountain National Forest Park (Chinese: 云山国家森林公园) is located 5 kilometers (3.1 mi) from Wugang,[1] a city in the southwest of Hunan Province, China. Its peak elevation is 1,372.5 meters (4,460 feet), and the annually average temperature there is 15 °C (59 °F). In September 1992, it was approved as a national forest park.


The area has a long history, beginning in the Sui and Tang dynasties (around AC 500–800) when Buddhists settled there. From the Song to Ming dynasties, it had developed to be a center of Buddhism in Hunan, with a series of amazing temples housing more than 500 monks.
