Jigu Mountain

　　Jigu Mountain is situated within Tengcheng Town and is one of the ancient Eight Scenic Spots of Tengzhou, known as “Clouds Circling over the Literary Ridge.” On the eastern ridge stands the Four Kings Pavilion, built in memory of the Taiping Rebellion heroes: the Noble King Chen Yucheng, the Loyal King Li Xiucheng, the Supportive King Li Shixian, and the Coming King Lu Shunsheng. At the northern foot of the mountain is the Chrysanthemum Champion Pavilion, commemorating the victory of Wuzhou’s chrysanthemum competition during the Republican era. At the mountain’s summit are the Revolutionary Martyrs’ Memorial Pavilion and the Revolutionary Martyrs’ Monument. The Four Kings Pavilion faces east with a slight southward orientation, stands about 8 meters tall, and is 8.40 meters deep and wide, supported by 16 square reinforced concrete terrazzo pillars. It features a pointed roof, two-tiered pavilion decks, and is topped with yellow glazed tiles. Beside the pavilion are marble steles inscribed with brief accounts of the Four Kings and cultural heritage protection signs. The Chrysanthemum Champion Pavilion also faces east with a slight southward tilt, is about 5 meters high, and measures 5.25 meters in both depth and width. It has a reinforced concrete structure with four square pillars, topped with thick iron sheet decorations in the form of a longevity-patterned eaves railing. A marble plaque beside the pavilion provides an introduction to the structure and includes a cultural heritage protection sign. The Revolutionary Martyrs’ Memorial Pavilion faces west with a slight northward orientation, is approximately 5 meters tall, and is supported by four round brick pillars with protective railings. The Revolutionary Martyrs’ Monument was dismantled in 1990 and relocated to Dongshan Park. Jigu Mountain is covered with dense woods that block out the sun, creating a lush, verdant landscape. From the mountaintop, one can enjoy a panoramic view of Tengcheng. Looking north, the Xun River flows from west to east, merging turbulently with the Xiu River in the northeast, stretching as far as the eye can see toward the horizon.
