Located at the Wusheng Pass on the
border of Hubei and Henan provinces,
Jigong Mountain attracts tourists and
summer vacationers with its beautiful
scenery and pleasant climate. In
mid-summer, when temperatures in the
surrounding areas reach 40℃ (104℉), the
average temperature at Jigong Mountain
is a comfortable 24ºC (75ºF). The
highest peak of Jigong Mountain is 784
meters above sea level and has the shape
of a crouching rooster facing south,
from which it got the name Baoxiaofeng–Crowing
Rooster Peak.
There are many scenic spots on the
mountain, including the Ladder to Heaven
(Tianti), and the Lotus Pavilion (Hehuating).
To meet the needs of an increasing
number of tourists, service facilities
have been improved in recent years. |
