Xishan is also known as the "hometown of peony". Every time around the Qingming Festival, there are lots of beautiful flowers and plants blooming among the wonderful stones. No wonder some people praise it: "why go to Luoyang to enjoy the flowers? The beauty of the country and the beauty of the west mountain.". The peony in Xishan Scenic Area is different from other peonies in that the peonies are not used for viewing, but for the needs of social and economic life of local residents. According to local scholars, the planting history of peony in Xishan can be traced back to before the Tang Dynasty. Because of the poor soil, thin soil layer and poor soil quality in Xishan area, it is difficult to grow crops. In order to survive, ancient ancestors gradually formed the tradition of planting peony in the state of natural selection. The root of peony is used as medicine, named Cortex Moutan. The local villagers also sell the peony as the main source of income. Therefore, when ordinary people get entertainment by prolonging the flowering period, the villagers in Xishan pinch the flowers early in order to make the peony root grow further. But even so, when peonies bloom in mid April, residents from nearby come in droves to see them in full bloom.

Xishan peony is not only famous for its beautiful scenery, but also for its medicinal cortex. Li Bai, a great poet, once lived here and wrote the well-known poem "farewell to children in Nanling".

It is said that it was built here by King Jin qiaojue of Tibet who came to Jiuhua Mountain. Xishan Scenic Spot has become a unique tourist attraction with its elegant and graceful appearance.
