The first mountain of Xingcheng

Located 2.5km northeast of Xingcheng City, Liaoning Province, the first mountain of Xingcheng is between the ancient city of Xingcheng and the seashore of Xingcheng.

Shoushan mountain is 329.7 meters above sea level, with dangerous terrain. It is a natural barrier to the northeast of the ancient city to guard the corridor of western Liaoning. If you want to guard the ancient city, you must strangle Shoushan mountain. Therefore, Shoushan is a place for military strategists of all dynasties. The first mountain was the main battlefield of the "Ningjin great victory" in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. On its main peak is a beacon tower built in the Ming Dynasty. It is 13 meters in diameter and 7 meters in height. It is located on the top of the mountain. It is an ancient military information transmission facility. This platform was built in Ming Dynasty, built of green brick. From the stage, you can have a panoramic view of Xingcheng. Xike has a bird's-eye view of the ancient city. East can look at the sea, people relaxed and happy. With dense vegetation, lush trees, birds singing and beautiful valleys and peaks, the mountain is a tourist attraction and has been designated as a national forest park.

Shoushan is beautiful and colorful. From afar, it looks like a young girl lying on her back, and her whole body is full of beauty. Whenever the light cloud falls and the mist winds around the cloud peak, there will be a beautiful scene of "three cloud crowns". The clouds are long, like white gauze, floating freely, if there is no, the peaks are sometimes hidden and sometimes appear, especially enchanting, just like a young girl holding a Pipa and half covering her face, graceful and graceful. The ancients once gave her a resounding name - "three cloud crowns" and named her the first of the eight sceneries in Xingcheng.

"Three cloud crowns", "three suspended currents" and "enjoying spring in the morning glow" were included in the eight sceneries of Xingcheng in ancient times, which naturally became interesting. Standing in the distance, you can see Yixing Pavilion, Wanghai Pavilion, Banxie Pavilion, fountain, Wanghai tower. Pavilions and pavilions intersect with Mountain Gate corridor, strange pines and strange rocks. Pavilions, platforms, buildings and pavilions are well distributed. Mountain climbers can wear green pine, walk on stone rocks, climb piers, watch the sunrise and the sea, and have a glimpse of the magnificent scenery of "the sky is open, the clouds are blue in the southeast, the sun is shining and the waves are red up and down". Climbing to the top of the mountain, overlooking the west slope, there are grotesque rocks. The pine and cypress planted on the slope in the early years have become a forest. From a distance, you can see the five pointed star shaped pine forest belt,

It's like the huge green jadeite embedded in the mountains. It's outstanding among the green clumps and above the green peaks. It's really: "the pine casts the mountain with many emeralds, and the cloud peaks are green in the sky." Yes, the pines, strange rocks, mountain roads, historic sites, pavilions, flowing water, flowers, blue sky and white clouds in Shoushan can really make tourists feel drunk and forget to return.

Transformation and upgrading

In 2014, the municipal government raised funds to transform the west exit of Shoushan scenic spot. The gate of the new Shoushan mountain is still of four pillars and three verandahs with glazed tile roofs. The famous calligrapher Wang xiaju wrote the word "Shoushan" hanging in the middle of the memorial archway, and the couplet "one mountain is locked in fog and covered with strong armor, three clouds are hidden in love" engraved on the porch pillars on both sides of the mountain gate. The parking lot at the foot of the mountain, the climbing steps, the management office room, the public toilets built according to the standards of the scenic spot, and the rest platforms on both sides of the climbing steps are all the achievements of this reconstruction project. Shoushan National Forest Park has a gate square beside the landmark stone. Rockery design is being carried out at the site from Shanmen square to Mountaineering Road to improve the landscape effect.

The construction of two 1100 meter long climbing steps on the South and east sides of Shoushan mountain took 10 months and was officially completed on August 21, 2015. The plank road is divided into two parts, one from the southeast side of shouhuan road to beacon tower, with a total length of 650 meters, and the other from the east side of Shoushan road to beacon tower, with a total length of 450 meters, a total of 2639 steps and five viewing platforms.

Shoushan wooden plank road lighting project was fully completed at the end of April 2017. Through the lighted wooden plank road, the outline of Shoushan scenic spot can be outlined in the night. It can not only ensure the safety of tourists at night, but also show the charm of Shoushan scenic spot, and improve the overall image and level of Xingcheng night landscape.

Chaoyang Temple

Chaoyang temple, located in the northwest of Shoushan mountain, is an ancient temple granted by Emperor Qianlong. There is a well in the temple. A chain is hung in the well. It is hard to see the end of the chain when you stand at the mouth of the well. After you let go, the chain slowly slides back into the well. Unfortunately, Chaoyang temple was damaged during the "Cultural Revolution".

Chaoyang temple has been restored with six main halls, covering an area of 120 square meters. Because there is no beam in the hall, it is more solemn and elegant. The stone steps in front of the mountain gate are long and steep. The temple is built on the cliff. On both sides of the open space, peach trees and primrose peach blossom are planted everywhere, reflecting the climbing stone path. When the morning glow is released, the temple is full of brightness, which is called "enjoying spring with morning glow" in ancient times.
