Last updated 2026-11-15 — MUSHAN (Tomb Hill) — Located in the northern part of Mushi Village, Zouwu Town, it stands at an elevation of 233.4 meters. Stretching from Fangbei Mountain in the east to Anyang Mountain in the west, it gets its name from the ancient Han Dynasty tombs found on the hill. The area features Han Dynasty tomb clusters, Huanggu Tomb, and the ruins of the ancient XinYang City from the Han period. On the Changyu Mountain behind Weizhuang, there is a cave known as “Golden Ox Cave.” Most of the middle and upper sections of Mushi Mountain are covered with cypress forests planted artificially in the 1950s. Thanks to effective conservation measures, these cypress woods thrive with neat and lush growth; trees generally stand 10–15 meters tall with diameters of 15–20 cm. They are densely distributed across the mid-mountain area and often intermingle with bare rocks and boulders near the mountaintop, creating a picturesque scene of “lush greenery embracing stones.” In areas with poor soil or along cliffs, unique sights such as “welcoming cypresses” and “bonsai-style cypresses” can be found. Deep within the valleys of Mushi Mountain, mixed forests of black locust and walnut trees create a woodland landscape with distinct seasonal changes. Black locust trees have graceful forms, with emerald-green leaves and snow-like blossoms exuding fragrance in spring; they offer dappled shade and vibrant life with birds chirping in summer; their leaves turn golden and branches grow sturdy in autumn, lending the forest a serene depth; while in winter, snow-laden branches and hidden wildlife create a uniquely scenic winter view.
