Wangzhe Mountain Scenic Area

　　Wangzhe Mountain Scenic Area is located in Xijin Village, Shitun Town, about 20 kilometers from the county seat and at an elevation of 758 meters. Legend has it that during the Western Zhou Dynasty, the great immortal fisherwoman Ji achieved enlightenment here. She often stood atop the mountain, gazing north toward the ancestral Tiantai Mountain in Zhejiang. One day, a crane came, and she rode it back north—hence the name. It is also known today as “Yingjie Mountain.” The Tianfu Temple at the mountaintop was first built in the early Tang Dynasty, and legend says Emperor Taizong of Tang once granted gold to expand it. During the Huang Chao Rebellion in the Tang Qianfu era, the rebel army’s main camp in Fujian was stationed here. Today, remnants such as Huang Chao’s Stronghold, Huang Chao’s Well, the pass of Shamao Rock, and the watchtower they established still remain. The area features over 10 scenic spots including Huokeng Stream, Lion Rock, Huoyun Cave, and Nanshe Cave, as well as unique trees and bamboo like the Yellow Dragon Pine, Immortal Crane Pine, and Golden Silk Bamboo.
