It has rich historical and cultural significance. In the "Battle of Feishui" more than 1600 years ago, the outnumbered army won and became a famous war story. Over 2000 years ago, King Huainan Liu An recruited talents, lectured, and wrote the famous work "Huainanzi", recorded 24 solar terms, and invented delicious tofu. At the same time, Bagongshan is also an important site for the excavation of ancient biological fossils, with "Huainan insects" fossils, being one of the earliest biological fossils in the world.
Many literati and poets throughout the ages have visited Bagongshan, such as Liu An, Li Bai, Su Shi, Ouyang Xiu, Liu Yuxi, Wu Jun, and Wei Yingwu, leaving many beautiful poems.
