Tüzishan Mountain

　　Tüzishan Mountain is situated approximately two kilometers north of the city center and is also called Fenghuangshan because its outline resembles a phoenix. According to legend, during the Three Kingdoms period, the Wu general Lu Su, after a military defeat, sent his son here to become a monk, hence the name “Tuzi” (Dropping the Son) Mountain. The mountain houses a temple, also named Tuzi Temple. Tuzi Temple was first built during the Xiantong era (860–874 AD) of Emperor Yizong of the Tang Dynasty and is a renowned Buddhist Zen monastery in northern Anhui. The morning bell of Tuzi Temple is one of the Eight Scenic Spots of Old Tongcheng. Today, the mountain retains structures such as Tuzi Chan Temple, Debo Nunnery, Zhaozhou Bridge, Jingguan Pavilion, and the Bell Tower.
