Jiaoshan Mountain in Shagou Town

Jiaoshan Mountain

Located northeast of Louwo Village in Shagou Town, it has an elevation of 265.4 meters. The Qing Dynasty’s Yixian County Annals recorded: “Jiaoshan is located 50 kilometers northwest of the county. It is a rocky mountain, barren of any vegetation, and looks scorched from afar. On its shady side there is a ravine. Steep cliffs surround it, and spring water emerges from stone crevices, gathering into a pool where clear waves ripple through pebbles in winding paths. After rain, springs gush forth.” This is known as Jiaoshan Spring. The spring water converges at Heiyu Reservoir and flows into Hongtu River. Jiaoshan Mountain is a strategic mountain pass leading from the south to Xincheng, occupying a notably important location.
