Siping City is located in the hinterland of Songliao Plain, at the junction of Liaoning, Kyrgyzstan and Mongolia provinces. The history of Siping can be traced back to the Shang Dynasty 3000 years ago. It is also a multi-ethnic city and one of the birthplaces of Manchu. Empress Dowager Cixi and Siping Yehe were her hometown in the late Qing Dynasty.
Siping is also a "hero city". In the war of liberation, the "Four Wars and Four Siping" campaign was famous at home and abroad. Siping, known as the "Oriental Madrid", is the Red Tourism Route 26 1 stop.
2. Erlong Lake
Erlong Lake, located in Lishu County in the east of Siping City, is located in the East Liaohe River Basin. There is another legend about the origin of Erlong Lake.
Legend has it that a long time ago, a flat peach banquet was held in the sky. At the flat peach party, immortals from all walks of life rushed to propose a toast to the Queen Mother. The queen mother is in high spirits. She drank a few more cups and fell on the jade chair. The gold hairpin fell off her head and the pearls in her hair were scattered, which led the fairies to pick them up quickly. As a result, a pearl was missing, and the pearl rolled into the sky. The queen mother woke up drunk, angry and anxious. She reported to the Jade Emperor and sent two powerful gods to the lower world to look for pearls.
The two gods dare not neglect, walking in the clouds and fog. Finally, they found something shining like a pearl in the middle of Erlong Lake (there was still a little water at that time). The two immortals went down to the ground and were very happy to see that it was a pearl on the head of the Queen Mother. Because the queen mother ordered that you can't return to heaven until you find the pearl. However, just as they were about to reach out and pick it up, the light of the pearl went out, and a bead the size of a sorghum grain grew up and finally became a hill.
The two immortals were frightened and quickly told the Queen Mother. On hearing this, the Queen Mother denounced the two gods for being useless, missing the time and turning the pearl into an earthy mountain. I can't help but say that I made an imperial edict to blow two gods into the sky, demote them to this Pearl Mountain, and turn them into two earth dragons, looking around the Pearl Mountain for thousands of years.
The Queen Mother still didn't feel revenge, so she sent an angel down to earth and put a chain on the noses of two earth dragons. There is also a magic ladle on the chain, which often scoops water for the earth dragon to drink, but if the earth dragon is not allowed to drink enough, the water will drip down. People named this place "Didi Zuizi". Although the water drops in this place are small, they are dripping all year round. Water drops wear through the stone, day after day, year after year, dripping out of a clear pool dozens of feet deep.
Passers-by in the first few years can also grab a ladle and slurp a cold water from a well. Good things can also be dragged upside down, but after a long time, they can't be finished. After a slow hand collision, you return to your original position.
It is said that whoever drags the chain away will shake the earth and fly away. "Tick-tock" flooded Wang Yang. In this way, the legend of the two dragons playing with pearls spread along the East Liaohe River.
3. Banla Mountain
Shanmen Scenic Area is located in the southeast outside Siping City, Jilin Province, facing a half-mountain gate that has been split in two. Because of its shape, it is called "Mid-Mountain Gate" by the locals.
A long time ago, the land was all mountains and rivers, and there was no plain. People satisfy their hunger by hunting and collecting wild fruits. When people's grievances reached the jade emperor's ears, the jade emperor sent Erlang God Yang Jian to drive the mountain.
Erlang drove the mountain down with an axe and a pole. Those mountain gods are unwilling to go to the east to fill the sea. They didn't move. The hill picked them up with a pole, and the mountain was going to split in half. He was very tired. Later, Erlang turned the tail of the gold and silver toad into a gold and silver whip, just like herding sheep. As soon as the whip sounded, the mountains rushed to the sea in dismay. Erlang waved his gold and silver whip and drove the mountain to the East China Sea.
Erlang God is busy driving the mountain. He hurried back when he heard that his unruly nephew King Bug was at war with King Xiaolong. But when he arrived here, it was too late. King Bug was trapped by King Xiaolong. In a rage, Erlang God whipped the mountain and saw a flash of golden light and a bang. A mountain opposite Changda Mountain was split in half, and the other half fell to Shenshu Mountain, three miles south of Banla Mountain Gate. The five golden flowers that burst out at the beginning of the mountain fell to the east side of Banla Mountain Gate and became five hills, which are today's five top mountains. The poor little dragon king was also split in two by the afterglow of Erlang God splitting the mountain, and the bones of the dragon king became the Dragon King River today.
People don't forget the kindness of the little dragon king, and build the Dragon King Temple in the upper reaches of the Dragon King River. On holidays, people come here to offer fruits and burn incense and pray for peace. King Worm's bones became the cover of the tortoise, and everyone passing by the temple in the market jumped up and stepped on a few feet. Besides, Jiro didn't want to rush to the mountain when he saw his nephew dead, so he went back to the river. So until today, the west is plain and the east is mountainous. Nowadays, Banla Mountain under Erlang Mountain Villa looks like a door left unlocked, so people call it Banla Mountain Gate.

5.tazishan
Tazi Mountain, located in the southeast suburb of Siping City, is the boundary mountain between Shilingzi Town and Shanmen Town, and the first mountain in the east of Siping.
Tashi Mountain has a long history and was called Tashan in the Tang Dynasty. According to New Tang Book? Xue Chuan: In 667 AD, in the second year of Ganfeng, Xue and other Tang Dynasty generals led troops to conquer Goguryeo.
Xue's main force of 3,000 men and his later troops fought with Koguryo's main force in Jinshan, and successively captured Cangzhou. Then, Xue led two thousand people to attack Fuyu City, an important town in Korea. At this time, the Ministry will serenade him not to make a move. Xue said that soldiers "make good use of it, not many", so he led the army to war.
This battle took place in the severe winter, and the land of Songliao was covered with snow. All of Xue's 3,000 Xuanjia cavalry were dressed in silver armor, taking advantage of the cavalry plain to kill the enemy. He took the lead, * * * killed more than ten thousand people and attacked Fuyu City. At that time, he was a "sublime three seas" and more than forty cities in Fuyuchuan, and he was surrendered by the wind.

In recognition of this meritorious service, the Tang government built a tower at the top of this mountain to record its merits, hence the name Tashan.
