Lingfengyan

In the north of the foot of the mountain, there is another cave, about 8 meters high and 5 meters wide, which can hold hundreds of people. Wang zanbin, a native of the ancient city, once wrote "lingfengyan" in calligraphy on the stone wall at the entrance of the cave. There used to be a viewing platform and stage in front of the mountain. The three characters of "Lingfeng platform" and couplet "first worry about the world, then joy of the world" were written by Mr. Li Jishen, former vice chairman of the Central People's government. Unfortunately, this platform and the inscription no longer exist.

During the reign of Emperor Qianlong of Qing Dynasty (1736-1795), this ancient bronze bell was placed in qianheng temple, Meigui village, Guiling township. In 1930, he moved to Sancheng temple. Because the sky will be able to ring around 20 miles when the dawn strikes, so "three times the dawn bell" is listed as one of the eight old sceneries in He county.

The activity base of patriotic, democratic and anti Japanese personages

Since 1993, with the development of the city's tourism industry, it has become an indispensable urban landscape spot for foreign tourists. However, during the Anti Japanese War, why did Xiangning, Li Jishen and other democratic people live here. In the mid-1940s, He Xiangning, Li Jishen, Ouyang Yuqian and others, who came to celebrate the Anti Japanese democracy, united all the patriotic progressive forces in the former Pingle special office, and held grassland meetings on the East lawn of Lingfeng mountain and Liuqu mountain from time to time to preach the Anti Japanese guerrillas. Li Jishen also built an anti Japanese platform on the north side of Lingfeng rock, with the title of "civil administration by the people, war by the people" He Xiangning made Anti Japanese speeches here for many times. Even if the Japanese plane bombed, he regarded death as his home. That is to say, since then, the residents of Babu have formed the custom of having a party near Lingfeng mountain.
