Pingliang: Kongtong and Jing

Pingliang is a famous Taoist mountain stop worth making a special stop. One day, between Kongtong Mountain and the Jing River, encounter the unique atmosphere of Pingliang.

Before venturing deep into Pingliang, the aura of Kongtong Mountain had already arrived. From afar, seeing that scene, even the fatigue from traveling quietly soothed it, and I just wanted to stand a little longer.

The Jing River is the most captivating part of Pingliang. Walking along its veins, every corner hides a different expression, stretching time and space here.

Avoiding the crowds and slipping into the pagoda, Pingliang reveals its true form. The elderly, alleys, stove fires, and laughter all settle in memory before the scenic spots.

After nightfall, the old streets of Pingliang are lit up, and the warm yellow glow turns the grandeur of the day into a gentle glow. Sitting down and doing nothing is also a form of arrival.

When leaving Pingliang, you feel a bit reluctant, but what plays in your mind is Kongtong Mountain. But it is precisely this reluctance that proves this trip was worthwhile—it quietly left a part of itself with you.
