At 8:00 a.m., all of people gathered at the east gate of Jiang'an Campus and took a bus to Mt. Qingcheng. The tour guide introduced the scenic spot, historical evolution and cultural background of Qingcheng Mountain. They imitated the gesture of "making a snuggle" by the tour guides. Through the shape of "Yin and Yang" formed during the snuggling, they became interested in this mysterious local religion in China.
