Phoenix Ridge

Fenghuangling is located in the southeast of Zhuyu Peak, with two thousand-year-old maple trees on the ridge. One is planted on the slope, the other grows below the slope, about 30 meters apart, with a crown height of about 17 meters. Interestingly, these two trees are facing each other, depending on each other, and are known as the "Maple King" and "Maple Queen." Legend has it that they are transformed from a pair of phoenixes, and the name Fenghuangling is derived from this. These two ancient maple trees belong to the maple family, lush green in spring and summer, and fiery red in autumn. On the steep cliffs of Fenghuangling stands a building called "Chongyang Pavilion". The pavilion has four floors, with white walls and black eaves, appearing magnificent between the high mountains and rugged ridges. This pavilion was built in memory of Wang Wei, a great poet from the Tang Dynasty.
