Introduction to Panshan

Panshan is a scenic spot with a long history. It is known as "the first mountain in East Beijing". It is one of the 15 famous mountains in China, along with Mount Tai, Huashan, Hengshan, Songshan and Hengshan.

Panshan is located in the southern edge of Yanshan Mountains, 90 kilometers east of Beijing, 12 kilometers away from Jixian County, Tianjin, and in the intersection of Beijing, Tianjin and Tangshan. Panshan is 400 to 600 meters above sea level, with the highest moon peak at 864.4 meters. Panshan scenic spot is 20 kilometers long from west to East and more than 10 kilometers wide from north to south.

Panshan is called Panlong mountain, Sizheng mountain, Wuzhong mountain and Tianpan mountain in ancient times. Panlong mountain, named after its shape, is named because of its winding, non directional shape and dragon like potential. Sizheng mountain, also named after its shape, is named after its hanging moon peak, one of which is protruding, standing upright and having no support. It is like a mountain on all sides. Wuzhongshan, named after the state, was named because Jixian County was a wuzhongzi state in the spring and Autumn period. The present name of Panshan is the abbreviation of Tian Panshan. In Wei Dynasty, when Cao Cao went to Wuhuan, Tian Chou, who was his guide, lived in seclusion here. In memory of Tian Chou, later generations named Wuzhong mountain tianpanshan, which means Tian Chou once lived here.

Panshan, also known as East Wutai Mountain, is relative to Shanxi Wutai Mountain. The zigai peak on Panshan is the middle stage, the Jiuhua peak is the east stage, the sword dance stage is the west stage, the Xianshi stage is the South stage, and the Zilai peak is the North stage.

The Yanshan Mountains are mostly limestone, while the Panshan mountains are composed of granite formed by acid magma deep in the ancient crust. Sand and stone nourish water, water and mountain are high, so the trees are luxuriant and the water and stone are strange. "The book of pictures" says: "the mountains are so high, it's really magnificent.". "You Tang Temple stele" said: "deep dimension axis, high pressure Tianmen, warm blue coagulation sky, cold blue pressure sea." "Sizheng Mountain Residence records" says: "ten thousand ravines of green pine, ten miles of red apricot, natural picture."

Since modern times, Panshan has been repeatedly destroyed by warlords. During the Anti Japanese War, the Japanese aggressors swept the mountains many times and created no man's land. As a result, the "green pines and strange rocks" often relied on fighting, the flowers fell into the mountains and the sky, the bells moved and the buttons were broken, and the temples and pavilions of Anguan temple were reduced to rubble. During the "Cultural Revolution", Panshan was moved again.

So far, more than 30 scenic spots have been restored and rebuilt.
