Meizishan Baisheng Tower

　　   Meizishan Baisheng Tower is located on the northern side of the county town, at an altitude of 327 meters and covering an area of 0.5 square kilometers. It got its name during the Qing Dynasty when the mountain was covered with plum trees. During the Republican period, most of the trees on the mountain were cut down, turning it into a grassy hill. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the county government designated Meizishan as a scenic area, initiating greening and beautification efforts and implementing protective measures. By the 1970s, the mountain had become lush with dense pine and fir trees, presenting a verdant and picturesque view, and had become a major landmark of the county town. In 1987, a martyrs' monument and hiking stairways were built. In 1985, six classic Chinese-style pavilions with upturned eaves were erected. In 2003, at a prominent location on the mountain, the magnificent and festively illuminated "Baisheng Tower" was constructed to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the county’s establishment, becoming a symbolic landmark of the county town. The pavilions set off the tower beautifully, creating a stunning scenic view. At dawn, dusk, holidays, and leisure hours, visitors flock here to climb to the top, gaze into the distance, and take in views of the Tao River winding like a ribbon and the mountain town resembling a painting—all within a breathtaking panorama.
