Dagui Mountain

Dagui Mountain, also known as "Kuixing Pavilion," was first built in the fourth year of the Qianlong reign during the Qing Dynasty (1739). It once served as an academy and examination hall, functioning as a key site for nurturing and selecting talent in the Kaili area during the Qing era. The pavilion has a pagoda-like appearance, stands 23 meters tall, and features five stories with six tiers, with the top level serving as an observation deck. Since the pavilion is situated atop Longshan Mountain, which has an elevation of 764 meters, it offers an excellent vantage point to admire the scenery of Kaili. From the south, the new urban area of Kaili stretches out as far as the eye can see; to the west, the towering peak of Xianglu Mountain rises majestically into the sky. During its reconstruction in 1985, new traditional-style structures were added, including a stilted tea house, Xiling Pavilion, Yanying Pavilion, and a memorial archway. The area was also planted with a variety of trees and flowers such as pine, cypress, maple, poplar, banyan, phoenix tree, and privet, creating a tranquil environment.

Located north of Kaili city, Dagui Mountain is just 1 kilometer from the city center and can be reached by taxi or on foot via the mountain-loop road.
