Also known as Xianweng Mountain, it is located 15 kilometers west of Xingtai City. According to the ancient steles of the Tang Dynasty on the mountain, the mountain was originally named Wufeng Mountain, and Zhang Guo, a Taoist of Guangzong, lived in seclusion here and became one of the Eight Immortals. Li Longji, Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty, regarded Lao Tzu as his ancestor, suppressing Buddhism and prospering Taoism, so he granted Zhang Guo the title of Xianweng, changed Wufeng Mountain in Xingzhou to Xianweng Mountain, and built a Qixia Temple for Zhang Guo, and the changed cave was Xianweng. Hole. As far back as the Ming Dynasty, the "Xianweng Ancient Cave" was known as one of the eight scenic spots in Xingzhou. The pines and cypresses in Zhangguolao Mountain are unique, the twisting cypresses are all over the mountain, and the arrow cypresses in the Yinshan are a unique scene. A thousand-year-old "Bitter Dream Tree" with pagoda tree on the mountainside is even more amazing. It blooms in the early morning of the temple fair on the eighth day of the third month of the lunar calendar, and the fragrance of the flowers is overwhelming. When the temple fair ended in the evening, the flowers withered at the same time, adding a bit of magic to the annual temple fair. The fragrance of the bitter dream tree can make people refreshed, keep fit and prolong life. This tree is also regarded as the treasure of Zhenshan.
Although Zhangguolao Mountain is 449 meters above sea level, its relative height is very high, and the mountain looks particularly tall and straight. To the north is a cliff with a broken wall, which is deep and unpredictable; the south slope is slightly gentle and slopes like a slope, forming a trend of sitting north to south. On the hillside, the ancient cypresses (commonly known as twisting cypresses) are green and vigorous, with twisted trunks, thick and thick roots tied in the hard rock cracks, and mountain flowers everywhere, which is indeed a great spectacle.
Under the shade of verdant cypresses and daisies, there is an ancient temple hidden in the pine forest of the mountain depression. When tourists visit here, the poetic and picturesque feeling emerges spontaneously. Climbing the rugged mountain road, walking up to Qixia Temple, Nantianmen to the peak, there is a sense of winding paths leading to secluded places. There is an open field on the top, and a small temple is built. The inscription on the horizontal plaque reads: "Supreme". The breeze blowing makes people feel relaxed and happy. Qixia Temple is the old temple of Zhangguo, one of the Eight Immortals. There is an ancient cave behind the view, and there is a strange pool in front of the cave, which is called "Holy Water Pool" or Shuilian Cave. Water drips in from the hole, never dries up or overflows and jingles all the year round, the water is crystal clear and clear to the bottom. In addition, there are more than ten historic sites such as Stone Donkey, Eight Immortals Cave, Tongtian Bridge, and Bailu Cave.
