Half-Mountain Gate

Introduction Legend has it that Half-Mountain was split in two by the Heavenly Whip of the Jade Emperor’s celestial general, Erlang Shen, who was tasked with moving mountains and creating farmland for the people. The gate is divided into two parts, with a dark red cross-section. During the Qing Dynasty, this gate was also called Bultukou Frontier Gate, and was one of the four major frontier gates of the Willow Palisade’s newly constructed outer border built during the reign of Emperor Kangxi. It was under the jurisdiction of the Jilin General. Passing through this gate and ascending directly up the mountain, you’ll find the Erlang Mountain Villa Scenic Area at an altitude of about 293 meters on Half-Mountain. This area combines folk legend with natural landscape, making the scenery even more beautiful.
