Yunxiao General's Mountain Park

Yunxiao General's Mountain Park

General's Mountain was historically known as Yunxiao Mountain, standing at an altitude of 426 meters. It earned its current name after Chen Zheng, the Military Governor of Lingnan during the Tang Dynasty and Duke of Guiding, was buried here in the second year of the Yifeng era (677 AD) under Emperor Gaozong of Tang.

Yunxiao General's Mountain Park is located on the western side of Yunxiao County, approximately 2.5 kilometers from the county town. The park spans a total controlled area of 3.19 square kilometers, and one of the main urban roads, the extended section of Chen Zheng Road, leads directly to the park, providing very convenient access. The park was designed and planned by Professor Zhao Liying from Xi’an University of Architecture and Technology. Its overall layout can be summarized as “0-one line and ten zones.” The “0-one line” refers to the sequence from the park’s main gate, through the Grand View Pavilion, to the Panoramic Platform. The “ten zones” consist of ten scenic areas: Dalong Lake, the Cultural and Arts Museum, Leshou Garden, the Children’s Playground, the Mechanical Games City, the Shilixiang Food Village, the Lychee Garden Villa, the Banana Garden Villas, the Green Wilderness Area, and the Chen Zheng Tomb. To date, over 50 million yuan has been invested, and completed projects include the park’s main gate, the Grand View Pavilion, Dalong Lake, the Tea Fragrance Pavilion, the Stele Tower and Pavilions, the Chen Zheng Tomb (designated as a Provincial-Level Cultural Relics Protection Unit by the Fujian Provincial People’s Government in March 1991), the Shilixiang Food Village, and the parking lot. The detailed plan for the Cultural and Arts Museum has been finalized, and construction is expected to begin within the year. The General's Mountain Park scenic area is being developed into a comprehensive resort integrating leisure, entertainment, sightseeing, and vacation. Strolling along the shores of Longhu (Dragon Lake) in the park, with picturesque scenery and the melodious sounds of the guzheng (a traditional Chinese zither), you’re sure to feel refreshed and reluctant to leave.
