Shengdeng Mountain is located in Tiaoshi Town, Banan District, Chongqing City, 1064m high above the sea. Legend has it that the emperor Jianwen of Ming Dynasty had built house and lived here when he took refuge, so it is also called "Shengdeng Mountain (means mountain which was climbed up by sage)". The magnificent Shengdeng Temple on the mountain is an ancient temple of thousand years. Around the Shengdeng Mountain, the cliffs are cragged and rugged, standing in great numbers of fancy rocks. The main scenic spots are Sheshen (means sacrifice oneself) Cliff, Chessboard Stone and Iron Doorsill. On the mountain, there is dense forest, elegant scene. The Tanzikou Reservoir at the foot of mountain is spacious and splendid. Shengdeng Mountain now is opened as a national forest park; known as the "Junior Emei Mountain" in Chongqing.
