　　Longxia Waterfall is 80 meters high and 30 meters wide, with cascading waters that resemble shattered jade and piled snow, creating the illusion of a “white silk ribbon hanging in the air.” Dawu Mountain, at an elevation of 1,204.5 meters, is the highest peak in Xingguo County. Originally named “Dawu Ming Mountain,” it was renamed when a candle in the temple was extinguished by the wind during the visit of eminent Ming Dynasty scholar Xie La, leaving the halls pitch black — hence the new name “Dawu” (Great Black) Mountain. Located to the south of the park, Fugou Mountain is considered the origin of the dragon vein of Xingguo County’s landscape, and is also called Buddha Ancestor Mountain. On clear days, the county seat of Xingguo can be seen from its summit. Ancient texts record that the Daoist celestial being Qi Juanzi of Beihai obtained 12 secret volumes from a stone book box on this mountain, which led to his ascension as an immortal.
