Fugui Mountain
  Fugui Mountain is located 1.5 kilometers north of Jixian County. Before the Ming Dynasty, it was called Kongtong Mountain. The mountain features many caves, among which Chuanyun Cave, Shanding Cave, and Bai Da Cave are relatively well-known. "Kongtong Snow Accumulation" is one of the ancient Eight Scenic Spots of Yuyang. During the Ming Dynasty's Jiajing era, and the Qing Dynasty's Kangxi and Daoguang eras, as well as during the Republican period, local chronicles such as the "Jizhou Annals" and the "Imperially Commissioned Pan Mountain Annals" all documented this mountain and included accounts of the Yellow Emperor ascending the mountain to seek enlightenment from Guangchengzi. Historical texts such as the "Famous Scenic Sites Record," "Taiping Huanyu Ji," "Guangxu Shuntianfu Annals," "Tianfu Guangji," "Jifu Tongzhi," and "Rixia Jiwen Kao" mostly affirm the "Jizhou Annals'" account of the Yellow Emperor’s visit to Kongtong Mountain (i.e., Fugui Mountain) to seek wisdom. The "Jizhou Annals" from the Daoguang era of the Qing Dynasty includes an attached "Kongtong Mountain Map," which clearly marks the location of the Guangchengzi Hall.

  After the Ming Dynasty, a Temple to Lord Cui was built on the mountain, hence its name was changed to Fugui Mountain, as it is still called today. Fugui Mountain is an ancient site of Taoist culture. In 1996, in line with the overall goals of highlighting tourism functions, emphasizing cultural richness, exploring historical heritage, showcasing landscape gardens, and reflecting an ecologically livable environment—aiming to build a medium-sized tourist city—the county party committee and government initiated the construction of Fugui Mountain Park. The park has a planned total area of 5,000 mu. Currently, the park includes management facilities, three entrances (including one mountain gate archway), one Gongde Pavilion, one Wanghu Pavilion, and one TV broadcasting and sightseeing tower. The park also features relatively complete infrastructure such as roads, parking lots, open sports fields, streetlights, animal sculptures, and geological landscape steles. Now, as an important part of the Tianjin Jixian National Geopark, Fugui Mountain Park has become a key leisure, entertainment, and fitness destination for local residents, as well as an important attraction for tourists from all over. Additionally, the county government has designated Fugui Mountain Park as an urban voluntary tree-planting base. Each year, substantial funds are invested in the park's greening efforts, and more than one million evergreen trees and flowering shrubs have been planted so far.
