Guting Mountain

　　   Guting Mountain is situated near Sanmenjiang in the southwestern part of Luzhai County, facing Liuzhou City across the river. The mountain boasts steep ridges and dense greenery, presenting a fascinating landscape. On June 14, the 11th year of the Chongzhen era in the Ming Dynasty (1638), traveler Xu Xiake traveled from Luorong to Sanmenjiang. After crossing the river, he looked back eastward and was struck by the striking beauty and grandeur of Guting Mountain. He praised it with the words: “Branches rise tall, standing out majestically.” Today, Guting Mountain has become even more picturesque. In early spring, azaleas bloom vibrantly, birds chirp in chorus, pine trees stand thick and lush, and the grass is as soft as a carpet. In the height of summer, the shade is thick, springs murmur softly, cool breezes blow gently, and birds sing melodiously. In 1984, a mountain road was constructed, and later, Guangxi established a microwave station and television transmission tower here.
