agaveartsDragon – Tiger Mountain and Tao Temples
The past couple weeks have been busy with work in the ceramics studio and settling into a daily routine. The West Virginia University group took a day trip to Dragon-Tiger Mountain (Lung-hu shan) in Jiangxi Province with Laura Hu, Pottery Workshop Education Center Director, as our very capable guide. The region is known as a cradle of Taoism – a religion with its origin in China. Taoism has a pantheon of deities with the Jade Emperor reigning supreme. Numerous temples are situated in a landscape of Danxia geologic formations consisting of many spires of eroded red rock. We visited several temples, rafted the Lu Xi River, and hiked the cliff-side catwalk which provided breathtaking views.
Beautiful photos, Glenn! Thank you so much for sharing!
Amazing and beautiful! Thank you for sharing your experience with us!
Wonderful scenes! Sounds like you’re having a great time!
Hi Erica,
I am enjoying all the new experiences in China. Thanks for following my blog.
Pretty spectacular. You are very lucky.
The catwalk is my favorite image. So much red at the Jade Emperor Temple; it must have a special meaning in Chinese culture.
Hey Bud Looks like you’re having a fantastic time. The pic of the cat walk is awesome. It seems like you’re working hard ( you always do) and learning a lot of interesting things. Be safe
Glen, I appreciated the info on the Taoist Deities. The landscape looks lovely. One can see how the spirit of the Tao could have begun there! I expect your time there is very rich with their culture and food! Very Best!
