scenic spot

During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, Yang Shen praised Xishan Mountain in the annals of Yunnan's mountains and rivers for its "vast cliffs, green waters, clear waves and clear moon, the top of clouds and a beautiful place in Central Yunnan." In Ming Dynasty, Xishan in Kunming, together with Xiushan in Tonghai, Weibaoshan and Jizushan in Binchuan, were called "four famous scenic mountains in Yunnan". Xishan is a scenic spot with cultural relics, scenic spots and forests. The scenic spots and historic sites are distributed in the mountainside with the fragrance of birds and flowers and green forest. There are Huating temple, Taihua temple, Sanqing Pavilion, Longmen and Nie Er's Tomb of the people's musician. In the south, there are Guanyin Mountain, Baiyukou and other tourist and convalescent resorts. Up to now, Kunming folk still retains the spring outing custom of "playing Xishan on the third day of March" (visiting Xishan on the third day of the third day of the third month of the third month of the third month of the lunar calendar). At that time, the four scholars gather together to sing folk songs, sing ditty, play dragon and lion dances, and enjoy picnics.

legend

According to legend, there is a phoenix perched here, so it is called "Biji mountain"; and because overlooking the peaks of Xishan Mountain, it is like a huge Sleeping Buddha, or a beautiful girl lying on her back beside Dianchi Lake, so it is called "Sleeping Beauty" or "sleeping Foshan".
