Gexian Mountain, miaoba town, Jin Kui District, Zigong City

Gexian Mountain is 2.5 kilometers away from miaoba town and 30 kilometers away from Zigong. It turned out that a Taoist named Ge Hong cultivated immortals here, hence the name.

Artemisia grows on the top of Gexian Mountain, covering the mountain road, and cicadas sing through the forest, crisp and pleasant, all over Gexian Mountain.

Standing on a high place, Gexian Mountain rises from the ground beside the Tuojiang River, standing on a dangerous rock, with green eyes and overlapping layers, which is quite spectacular.

Wenfeng, the highest peak of Gexian Mountain, is 407 meters above sea level. Tuojiang River draws an arc here from north to south, surrounded by Gexian Mountain on three sides, and wrapped it like a dragon, adding a lot of aura to this mountain.

During the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, Ken Wang, a scholar from Neijiang, climbed high and looked far and came here. Later, in his travel notes, he described Gexian Mountain as follows: It originated in Tianfengshan, Longchang County, and the mountains meandered into Fushun County, extending westward in Dongyue Temple of Miaoba, and then becoming a beaded mountain range in Siweiba. Mount Everest is magnificent, and the head of Gexian Mountain rushes to the lion of Tuojiang River, where the river bends around its three sides and the mountain is steep. But the top of the mountain is very vast, flat and suddenly enlightened. There is a spring water flowing from the stone on the peak, which is crystal clear, sweet and delicious. The ancient trees are towering, and the exotic flowers and grasses in the forest are pleasing to the eye, just like a fairyland on earth.

According to records, Ge Xianshan was originally named Chang and Wen. Because it looks like a fine horse flying from west to east, always facing the place where the sun rises. Gexian Mountain is obviously divided into two layers, overlapping and magnificent.

"Changyueling is the top of Gexian Mountain, which is held up by the second floor rock and wants to fly into the blue sky. Tuojiang River starts from the west, with cliffs in the north and south, Xiufeng in the east, and the terrain outside the east gate gradually slows down, connecting with Shijiaba; Changyueling is surrounded by a fence, winding around the hanging rock cliff, with a total length of 5000 meters. There are five gates on the wall around Changyueling, which is the only way for Changyueling to go outside. There is a corresponding gate outside the rock on the second floor. The second-floor rock platform is wide, like a jade belt wrapped around the mountainside, which has become a place for people to rest and overlook. There are facilities such as "Reading Easy Pavilion", which is the place where literati wrote poems in previous dynasties ... "

There are eight peaks in Gexian Mountain, which are opposite to each other and connected with mountains, covering an area of nearly 3 square kilometers.

Looking around Gexian Mountain, strange rocks and peaks can be seen everywhere. Sow hill with pig mouth and complete pig ears; Iron helmet mountain is like a samurai helmet; An old mountain like a crow; Shaped like the source of life of the vulva; There is also Shi, a man who has stood by the river for thousands of years and hoped that her husband would return; Yanzishi Fossil has spread its wings ... which adds a lot of interest to tourists.

Gexian Mountain has dense trees and fresh air. The ancient and famous trees in the forest exude the fragrance of exotic flowers and herbs. Squirrels and wild pigeons shuttle through the forest from time to time, making Gexian Mountain full of vitality.

"Because of its high terrain and good ecological environment, Gexian Mountain is about two degrees lower than the mountain in summer and lower than the urban temperature. It is a good place to spend the summer. " Guo Taihua told us like an advertisement.

Gexian Mountain is famous for its beautiful scenery and flourishing incense, and many literati come here and are known as "the famous mountain in western Sichuan".

Ken Wang, a scholar in Neijiang, once described ten scenic spots on the mountain: Sendai bird, Buddha cave stopping blue, deep well Jing Quan, Danting Lan Yu, Lingchi Mingyue, Niushi Linglong Stone, Donggu Songtao, Xijiang Mingyue, Rongyin on the south cliff and Eagle flying north.
