Brief information on Mt. Qingxiu  

The Mt. Qingxiu range is called the ’green lung’ of Nanning City. The mountain range is famous for its beauty and the clear waters running through it. It is no wonder that they are counted as one of the Eight Wonderful Sceneries of ancient Nanning.

The undulating chains of mountains, verdant trees, liquid springs and historic sites together make Mt. Qingxiu a wonderful place, with the charm of antique taste and tranquility. Mt.Qingxiu, or Taiqing Peak, is made up of 18 peaks including Qingshan Peak and Phoenix Peak. The range covers a total area of 4.07 square kilometers (about 1.6 square miles), inclusive of water area of 14,667 square meters (about 17,542 square yards) and greenbelt area of 25,000 square meters (about 29,901 square yards). Thanks to the many lakes and the emerald green trees on the mountains, Mt. Qingxiu is the primary source of fresh air for the downtown Nanning area. Accordingly, it earned the name ’the green lung’ of Nanning. The main sights in Mt. Qingxiu include ancient Longxiang Tower, Cycads Garden, Tianchi, Yaochi, Sanbao Hall and Thailand Garden etc, each of which deserves an essential visit.

Mt. Qingxiu was originally named Qingshan. On the top of the mountain stands Longxiang Tower, a pagoda which is the symbol of the mountain. The tower was built in the Ming Dynasty and restored in 1986. The pagoda retains the architectural style of the Ming Dynasty, inlaid with green bricks and tiles and featuring a 9-tiered octagonal exterior. From the pagoda, the sight is magnificent, overlooking 20 li (about 6.2 miles) and a panoramic view of Nanning City. The Mt. Qingxiu pine waves are famous in the area. Every time the wind blows, you will hear the sound of the waves through the lush forests.
