The fragrance of medicinal herbs: A thousand-year prayer at Yaowang Mountain

#SeptemberGoodPlaces2025
Yaowang Mountain, renowned for the legend of the Medicine King Sun Simiao, is known as a sacred place for health and well-being. Walking slowly along the mountain path, surrounded by verdant pines and cypresses, the air is filled with the delicate fragrance of plants, like a natural herbal baptism. The ancient Yaowang Temple perches on the mountainside, where incense curls as believers bow their heads in prayer, praying for peace and health.
Ascending the steps, you'll find herb gardens and gurgling springs everywhere, and the chirping of mountain birds adds a touch of spirituality to this ancient forest. Gazing into the distance, clouds and mist swirl among the lush mountains, creating a fairyland-like scene. Legend has it that Sun Simiao once collected herbs and refined elixirs here, leaving behind countless stories of medical knowledge. As the sunset paints the mountaintops red, the sound of wind and the chime of bells intertwine into an ancient melody, bringing peace and comfort to the body and mind.
