Originally named "Mt. Qingshan", also known as "Oingtai Peak", Mt. Qingxiu lies five kilometers  southeast of Nanning City where ridges and peaks are rising and falling and old banyan trees tower high. There are rocks and grottos, deep and precipitous; stones and springs, sweet and clear.
The Mt. Qingxiu area ranges in altitude from about 80 to 190 meters above the sea level, including the Fenghuang Mountains, Fengyi Mountains and Qingxiu Mountains. Temperature here is rather pleasant. There are exotic flowers and rare herbs blossoming all the year round. An ancient poem describes: "Mt. Qingshan doesn't grow old for seasons. The absent son feels as if spring is joyful at the end of the world. I go up to the mountain with the spring scenery. Flowers are in blossom to welcome the spring".
Mt. Qingxiu has been a famous summer resort and tourist spot south of Yongjiang River since the Sui and Tang dynasties. |
