Elevation[edit]

This non-RS claims that the mountain's highest elevation is actually 2566.6 m. 'Might be right, but we can't take its word for it. If it is correct, kindly remember to update the Mt Mian's entry at List of Chinese mountains as well. — $Llywelyn II$ 10:32, 24 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Temples[edit]

First Buddhist temples[edit]

The same source claims that the earliest Buddhist temple on the mountain was Tiewa Temple (铁瓦寺), erected under the Jian'an Era (196–220) of the last Han emperor. Also says that Cao Rui erected the Baofu Temple (抱腹寺) sometime 226 x 239. — $Llywelyn II$ 14:26, 24 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Currently active temples[edit]

Its list of surviving temples is "龙头寺, Lóngtóu Sì; 云峰寺, Yúnfēng Sì; 正果寺, Zhèngguǒ Sì; 龙嵴岭, Lóngjǐ Lǐng; 李姑岩, Lǐgūyán; 蜂房泉, Fēngfáng Quán; 一斗泉, Yīdòu Quán; 天桥, Tiānqiáo; 朱家凹, Zhūjiā'āo; 栖贤谷, Qīxiángǔ; 古藤谷, Gǔténggǔ; 水涛沟, Shuǐtāogōu; 介公岭, Jiègōnglǐng" which doesn't include either of the ones mentioned by Shanxi's official tourism page.
