Phoenix Mountain in Taigu
Phoenix Mountain in Taigu is located seven kilometers from the county town. It is the mountain behind Dongshandi Village in Taigu County and is also a well-known scenic spot within the area. On the mountain stand three pagodas named Fengyunyu Pagodas (Pagodas of Wind, Cloud, and Rain). Beside the pagodas are the remains of two bunkers, which were strategic strongholds during wartime when Yan Xishan’s troops defended Taigu and held sway over Taiyuan. There is a Taoist temple in the mountains called Longquan Palace, which has now been restored.
