Jigong Mountain, located in the south of Henan Province, is a famous tourist summer resort in Huashan area. It is different from some other famous mountains. Most of the famous mountains in China were developed earlier and became famous in ancient times. Moreover, many famous mountains are also Buddhist or Taoist resorts, and Jigong Mountain was only developed at the beginning of this century. Jigong Mountain is a branch of Dabie Mountain, and its main peak, Jigong Head, is also called Baoxing Peak. It is named Jigongshan, just like a rooster crowing loudly. The elevation of the main peak is 8 14m. The mountain is not high, but it is majestic, with clear springs and beautiful scenery, which is the characteristic of Cui Lin. Before liberation, Jigongshan was a place for foreign warlords, officials and wealthy businessmen to have fun. It is said that 1898, an American priest went to Xinyang, Henan Province to preach, took a fancy to the beautiful scenery here and built a church. After the announcement of the priest, many foreign businessmen, missionaries and embassies and consulates in China personnel came to build villas, many of whom came from Wuhan, an important town in central China. According to statistics, from 1898 to 1936, there are more than 300 villas on the mountain, including church-style with spires protruding, quaint palace-style with rings, exquisite and small villas, and tall and luxurious European and American buildings. These buildings of different countries and styles not only reflected the colonial status of China at that time, but also showed people the architectural art of various countries. Among these buildings, Lu Yi, General Building, Yu Yan Building, Hui Jing Building, American Church and Sweden Building are the most distinctive. There is abundant rainfall and lush plants in Jigongshan area, and there are all kinds of trees in the north and south, * * * reaching 1, with more than 200 species, including conifers and broad-leaved trees, evergreen trees and deciduous trees. This is a mixed natural botanical garden. In spring, azaleas, bluegrass flowers and golden chrysanthemums spread all over the mountains, making Jigong Mountain particularly beautiful. In summer, it is a good place to escape the heat because of its dense shade and cool climate. Visiting Jigong Mountain, Baoxing Peak is the center. Standing on the top of the mountain overlooking, I saw the sea of clouds rolling, as if walking on clouds. From different angles, this morning peak has different postures, some like crying, some like lying down, and some like fighting. The above-mentioned transnational buildings are not far from Baoxing Peak and are a must-see for tourists. Two miles down from the south slope of Dr. Xiaofeng Bao, there are some religious attractions. The scenery wins with quietness and wins with wonder. Get off at Jigongshan Station and head east along Panshan Highway, then you can get to the Summer Resort. This is a self-contained area with towering mountains and dense pine forests. The whole villa is divided into ten groups with various forms, including buildings, halls, pavilions and pavilions. It is really a summer resort.

Jigongshan is a treasure trove of geomantic omen. It is located at the western end of Dabie Mountain and is closely connected with Tongbai Mountain. If Dabie Mountain and Tongbai Mountain, which meander thousands of miles, are compared to two dragons, then Jigong Mountain is a bright pearl in these two longkou. "Playing with pearls with two dragons" has been a myth symbolizing auspiciousness in China since ancient times. I hope the trip to Jigong Mountain will bring you luck and happiness. Jigong Mountain has the reputation of "the green part of Chu and Yu, and the atmospheric pressure of Song Dynasty is constant". It is also known as the four summer resorts in China along with Lushan Mountain, Beidaihe Mountain and Moganshan Mountain in history.
