Baiyun Mountain

Baiyun Mountain is located about 5 kilometers south of Jia County in Yulin City on the edge of the Yellow River. As it is often shrouded in white clouds, the mountain is named ‘Baiyun’ (Chinese for white cloud) mountain. Amongst the mountainous scenery, there is a Taoist temple named Baiyun Temple. It is said that Li Yufeng, a Taoist scholar from Zhongnan Mountain, came to Baiyun Mountain to collect medicine for the treatment of diseases and to help all living beings, and built Baiyun Temple on the mountain. The mainly Taoist architecture sits alongside Buddhist and Confucian temples and also contains culturally exquisite sculptures, paintings and calligraphy.
