Shengjing Mountain historic and scenic site is located within the territory of Danan village of Rui'an City in Zhejiang Province. It's municipal-level scenic resort and historic site in Wenzhou city. Mount Shengjing historic and scenic site is named after the Shengjing Mountain that is the famous religious mountain with a long history in southern Zhejiang. The sacred well is right on the foot of the altar. The water from this well tastes both mellow and sweet.



The construction of the Shengjing stone temple started in the first year of the reign of Emperor Jingding in the Southern Song Dynasty. It's considered as the total stone-constructed architectural complex that is the earliest, the largest scale and best-preserved one in the period of southern Zhejiang. Inside the temple is one water well whose water is sweet and mellow and never runs dry or overflows. It was given that name because people addressed it as "the first well under heaven."



On the mountainside flowers and plants could meet the eye on every side every April. The present Shengjing Mountain scenic spot is on the point of stepping into the blooming flower season when the beautiful flowers are blanketing hill and dale and trees and shrubs are bursting into glorious blossom. The annual Shengjing Mountain Culture Tourism Festival begins on the fifteenth day of April each year.



When the time comes, the visitors coming here would enjoy the flowering azaleas all over the hill that stood out in sharp relief against the most gorgeous and superb flower sea among the green and fresh shady trees. The ancient Rui'an City for thousands of years is not only blessed with the natural scenery with mountains and rivers that appeals to the emotions as well as to the eye, but also the rich historic and cultural accumulation.

The whole architecture is composed of Yuhuang tower and stone temple, originally is the place for people praying for rain. The temple for praying rain was built in the Southern Song Dynasty.
