Mount Jingwu

Introducing Jingwu Mountain

“There is a mountain called Jingwu Mountain in Huanghua. When it rains, fog rises, and when it clears up, the fog disperses. The peaks all pay homage to the place where the clouds are born, and people in the mountains are like immortals.” To the northeast of Dubu Town, Yangshan, there is a majestic mountain range, which the locals call "Jingwu Mountain".

With an altitude of 830 meters, Mount Xiwu stands on a three-way balance of power with Mount Dawu in Qigong Town, Yangshan, and Mount Wenpo (also known as Mount Qishan) in Yangcheng Town, making it one of the three highest peaks in Yingxi with the most distinctive karst peak cluster landforms and excellent viewing scenery.

Mount Xiwu is not only tall and majestic, but also heroic and domineering. It stands tall in the depths of Yangshan Mountain, adjacent to the Beidegang Village of Huanghuayan in Yingde and the Beijian Village of Qingxin Baiwan. It spans three counties, and is domineering, majestic and upright.
