Introduction to Hutou Rock: There is Hutou Rock on the top of the right side of Shili Pinghu Lake, also known as Meiyan because there is Meikou Town at the foot of the mountain. The terrain of Hutouyan is dangerous, condescending, easy to defend and difficult to attack. There is a military fortress built in the Song Dynasty on the mountain called Hutou Village. Legend has it that Shi Dakai of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom led his army southward and passed through Hutou Village. It could not be captured for a long time and had to take a detour and move elsewhere.
From Meikou to Zhaimen, the mountain path is winding, the springs are tinkling, the environment is beautiful, and the scenery is beautiful. More than ten people can sit on the chessboard stone near the lake. It is a good place to overlook the distant mountains and near water, and Hutou Rock is also the reason for this. It has become a good place for literati of all ages to visit the mountains and rivers, and write poems and poems. In the early years of the Qing Dynasty, buildings such as Shuangxi Bookstore, Mingjing Mountain House, Yuantang Hall, and Guixin Tower were built in the mountains. Today, the ruins of houses, training grounds, and water prisons at that time can still be seen.
