🎧 Listen to Introduction
Songshan is a sacred mountain in central China. At the foot of this 1,500-meter-high mountain, near Dengfeng City in Henan Province, eight groups of buildings and sites stand within a 40-square-kilometer radius, including three Hanque Gates - the oldest religious architectural remains in China -, temples, the Zhougong Sundial Platform, and the Dengfeng Observatory. These buildings were built over nine dynasties and reflect people's different understandings of the center of heaven and earth and the power of the mountain as a center of religious belief. Dengfeng's historical sites include some of the best examples of ancient Chinese architecture used for ritual, science, technology, and education.
