Xidai Peak

　　Xidai Peak is a pristine forest area in the northeastern part of Pingli, situated at the border between southern Shaanxi and northwestern Hubei, within the tri-junction of Xunyang and Pingli counties in Shaanxi Province and Zhuxi County in Hubei Province. It lies 23 kilometers from the county seat of Pingli and serves as a natural barrier between the Qin and Chu regions. Over three hundred years ago, the states of Qin and Chu engaged in prolonged conflict here. During the Song, Ming, and Qing dynasties, the area was a thriving center of Taoist activity. In the winter of 1932, Marshal He led the Red Third Army through this mountain while battling in western Hubei, leaving behind many legendary tales among the local people. To this day, remnants of Red Army slogans can still be found on the cliffs, adding a layer of heroic glory to this mountain already rich in religious significance.
