"Mount Songshang is considered to be the central sacred mountain of
China. At the foot of this 1500 metre high mountain, close to the city
of Dengfeng in Henan province and spread over a 40 square-kilometre
circle, stand eight clusters of buildings and sites, including three Han
Que gates - remains of the oldest religious edifices in China -,
temples, the Zhougong Sundial Platform and the Dengfeng Observatory.
Constructed over the course of nine dynasties, these buildings are
reflections of different ways of perceiving the centre of heaven and
earth and the power of the mountain as a centre for religious devotion.
The historical monuments of Dengfeng include some of the best examples
of ancient Chinese buildings devoted to ritual, science, technology and
education." -http://whc.unesco.org
