Additionally, 6,000 carefully selected Huilí pomegranates were requested for the Asian Games held in Beijing. This is a source of pride for the people of Huilí. Since the reform and opening up, the Huilí pomegranate industry has experienced significant growth.

Mount Qingcheng, Sichuan
Mount Qingcheng is the birthplace of Chinese Daoism and the ancestral mountain of Celestial Masters Daoism. As early as over 1,800 years ago in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Daoling, the founder of Daoism, established a thatched hut here to preach and founded China's indigenous religion—Daoism, making Mount Qingcheng the foremost of the four famous Daoist mountains in China. Daoism has ten major grotto-heavens, thirty-six minor grotto-heavens, and seventy-two blessed lands. Among the ten major grotto-heavens, Mount Qingcheng ranks fifth, hence it enjoys the reputation of being the "Fifth Famous Mountain Under Heaven." However, among the ten major grotto-heavens, Mount Qingcheng stands out for having the best-preserved and most complete palaces and observatories, embodying the harmonious coexistence between man and nature, and the concept of harmony and conformity with nature in its architectural style and layout. Here, the peaks overlap, surrounded by numerous peaks, appearing like city walls when viewed from afar, hence the name "Qingcheng," which means "Green City."

Wudang Taoist Ancient Architecture: The Nine Palaces and Eight Temples
The Ming Dynasty undertook a grand reconstruction of Mount Wudang, constructing the Taihe Palace, Qingwei Palace, Zixiao Palace, Chaotian Palace, Nanyan Palace, Wulong Palace, Yuxu Palace, Jingyue Palace, Yuzhen Palace, as well as the Renwei Temple, Huilong Temple, Longquan Temple, Fuzhen Temple, Yuanhe Temple, and other nine palaces and eight temples. Along with hermitages, pavilions, bridges, and gazebos, this vast ensemble of ancient Taoist architecture was built across the 800 li of Mount Wudang. A "Palace" is the dwelling of emperors and also the abode of deities, often large divine shrines bestowed by imperial edict. A "Temple" (or "Loudian"), originally an ancient high place for observation, is also where heavenly gods are greeted; later generations generically referred to Taoist temples as palaces and temples. Taoist palace and temple architecture developed from traditional Chinese palace, shrine, and altar buildings. They are places where Taoists worship deities and also locations for their seclusion and cultivation. In terms of layout, scale, and structure, Taoist palaces and temples not only inherit the traditional Chinese architectural philosophy, layout, and methods but also incorporate Daoist aesthetic ideas and values, forming their unique style. The halls enshrining Taoist deities in Taoist palaces and temples are set along… -
