Jiujing Mountain Villa is also called Hidden Phoenix Mountain. The term "Hidden Phoenix Mountain" means that the nine peaks in the scenic area resemble a phoenix spreading its wings. As for Jiujing Mountain Villa, it refers to the unusual natural phenomena found here since ancient times—such as the Yin-Yang Tablet at King Temple that predicts weather changes, and the cucumbers inside Fengming Boat, whose skins and flesh are both green.
Jiujing Mountain Villa is a newly developed scenic tourism area in Lüquan City in recent years, covering an area of 6.5 square kilometers. Surrounded by rolling mountains, it offers birdsong, floral scents, lake views, mountain landscapes, and shaded groves. Here you can enjoy the endless joy of returning to nature. The area features many cultural landscapes and ancient historical legends. Stepping into the villa stirs boundless imagination through the testimony of history.

Immortal Terrace Sunrise: Standing on the Immortal Terrace and gazing at the boundless North China Plain, you can watch the sun rise slowly from the provincial capital city. This place is also known as "Little Mount Tai of Huolu."
Lake and Mountain Reflections: There are nine lakes both inside and outside the villa, collectively referred to as "Nine Dragons Playing in Water." With murmuring streams and shimmering water reflections, it’s not Jiangnan—but almost.
Fresh Fruit Orchard: The villa houses over 200 acres of Chinese Sacred Peach orchards, fragrant and blooming in spring, heavy with fruit in summer. Peaches, apricots, pears, apples, walnuts, persimmons, and red dates in the villa create scenic spots for visitors to pick fruits.

Ancient Post Road Nostalgia: This is the ancient post road known as the "Shanxi-Shaanxi Trade Route," which was the main channel for economic and trade exchanges between Shanxi and Hebei in ancient times.
Dragon and Phoenix Auspiciousness: The King Temple is situated here, paired with Phoenix Mountain, symbolizing eternal harmony.
Jiujing Mountain Villa is developing many interactive entertainment projects for visitors. The zip line is the most distinctive attraction in the scenic area and is the first of its kind in northern China. The zip line is adapted from alpine skiing descents, featuring a vertical descent from a small hill, crossing over a lake and reaching the north shore. The total length is 350 meters, taking only 28 seconds to reach the end. This activity is especially suitable for young people, giving riders the sensation of flying through the clouds.
