Scenic spot introduction:

Zhanlu Mountain is a famous historical mountain in my country. According to legend, it was the place where Ou Yezi, a Yue man, made swords in the Spring and Autumn Period. In 496 BC, King Yue often asked Ou Yezi, the world's best swordsmith, to make swords for him. Ou Yezi, his daughter Moye, and his son-in-law Qian Later, when we came to Zhanlu Mountain at an altitude of 1,230 meters, we discovered the goddess and holy water required for casting iron. We set up a furnace on the spot and it took three years to cast the Zhanlu Sword. Therefore, Zhanlu Mountain is known as the "No. 1 Sword Mountain in the World". It is located in the south of Songxi County, Fujian Province. The mountains are covered with lush forests, springs sing and birds sing, and there are often clouds and mist. Looking for a secluded path, when you reach the top, you will find rocks arrayed among them, like a crouching lion, crouching tiger, drinking cow and galloping horse, each with its own unique mood.
