Moxing Ridge, formerly known as Biyun Peak, is located between the Su Family Ancestral Hall and Longhu Gang in Baiyun Mountain. It is the highest peak in Baiyun Mountain, with an altitude of 382 meters. It is one of the more than 30 peaks in Baiyun Mountain. First, from Qixialing you can reach the gate tower of Moxingling. Before the Song and Ming Dynasties, there was no name for "Moxing Ridge", only the name of the first mountain. Kangxi's "Guangdong Chronicles" painting of Baiyun Mountain called this peak "Moxing Ridge" at the beginning of the volume, and called it "the first mountain in the south of the sky". Peak", hence the name Moxing Ridge. Li Shiyu wrote a poem called "Poem of Sitting Alone on Mount Xingling", written by Fu Jiabao in the Forest of Steles in Guangzhou: Sitting alone on Mount Extingling Ridge, looking back at hundreds of peaks, flying over the silver waterfall, cutting out jade hibiscus, flying across the sky and sky, rising up In the sky of Hanzhong, the square pot is not far away, and the clouds are far away from the clock. As the saying goes, "If you don't climb Baiyun Mountain, you won't reach Guangzhou City, and if you don't climb Mount Mount, you won't reach Baiyun Mountain." This is not true at all.
When you climb Mount Mount Davis, you can enjoy different scenery depending on the weather. On rainy days, you can see the unique scenery of "white clouds flying on Baiyun Mountain and white clouds floating below Baiyun Mountain". On a clear day, you can see as far as the eye can see, dotted with modern metropolitan buildings. You can see Shahe Town to the east, the Pearl River to the south, Wuyang City to the west, and Huangpo Cave to the north. You can have a panoramic view of the "South Gate of the Motherland". At this time, I couldn't help but think of Du Fu's poem "When you are at the top of the mountain, you can see all the small mountains", which makes people open-minded and relaxed.
(2) Mount Mount and the Double Ninth Festival
Guangzhou people have always had the habit of climbing to pray for blessings. Climbing Mount Mount will bring peace and luck.
A set of mysterious numbers leads to a new folk legend about climbing Baiyun Mountain during the Double Ninth Festival. Mount Mount is 382 meters high and the top platform is 188 square meters. This natural coincidence arouses the endless reverie of Guangzhou people who advocate numbers: 382, ??188, easy to have hair, easy to grow. As a result, the number of people climbing Mount Mounting Ridge increased year by year. During festivals, the streets in Guangzhou city were deserted, and waves of people surged up to Baiyun Mountain. The sea of ??people stayed up all night long. People seemed to have only one wish: to climb Mount Mounting Ridge and escape from the mountains. In case of disaster, I pray for good luck and good health.

100 meters into the gate of Moxing Ling, there is a large plastic stone with the three characters "Moxing Ling" engraved on it, 6 meters high and 4 meters wide. , 10 meters together, which means perfection and auspicious stars, so it is called the "lucky star stone". Many tourists regard it as a must-pass stone for climbing and transporting, and they come here to take pictures one after another. There is a landmark building on the top platform of Mount Mosing Ridge, which means "climbing to the top". Tourists who climb to the top of Mount Mount Mount take a group photo here, touch the building and circle around it, which will bring "good luck". transport". "Shuangxi Villa" was originally "Shuangxi Temple". It was named because there are two springs in the temple, Yuexi River and Ganxi River, that flow around the temple. Later, Shuangxi Temple was destroyed by the war and was rebuilt in 1964. Prime Minister Zhou Enlai and Vice Premier Chen Yi stayed here in 2001. The word "Shuangxi" on the door of Shuangxi Villa is in a simple and dignified handwriting. It was written by Chairman Zhu De at that time. There is a tomb of Lu Juren, a cultural relic protection unit in Guangzhou City, in the villa. The stone figures, stone horses and stone Chinese watches in front of the tomb are very spectacular and are a model of Lingnan tomb collections.
There is a Wubao Spring in the temple. According to records, when Shuangxi Temple was built, there was no spring water and it was difficult to drink water. Seeing this situation, Zheng Xian asked the elders in the temple in a dream to dig a well in the back mountain and saw five-color soil. It was done. The next day, the monks in the temple dug out five layers of red, yellow, blue, white and black soil, and the spring water immediately flowed, so it was called "Five Treasures Spring". The Villa Hotel was built in 1964. This design is a representative work of the typical Lingnan garden style.
The Villa Hotel has hosted many famous leaders. In the second year after it was built in 1964, Premier Zhou Enlai met with the Indonesian Deputy Prime Minister at the "Mountain Villa Hotel" and held a historic state meeting with the Indonesian Deputy Prime Minister in the large conference room. Comrade Deng Xiaoping lived in the villa in 1978, and conceived the epoch-making "Spring Story" of the Southern Tour in the villa hotel. And took a group photo with the employees of Baiyun Mountain at the "meeting of mountains and rivers". Guo Moruo and his wife, Ms. Yu Liqun, inscribed "The Place to Listen to the Spring" and "Canglang" respectively at the villa. As national leaders, they are the only couple in China to inscribe at the same scenic spot. The couplet in front of the gate of the villa hotel - "Green trees bring more business, white clouds are endless" was inscribed by Comrade Dong Biwu himself. It can be seen how much Mr. Dong loves Baiyun Mountain and how much he loves our mountain villa and hotel! Comrade Chen Yi, Prince Sihanouk of Cambodia and other domestic and foreign leaders have all visited the Villa Hotel. Therefore, the "Mountain Villa Hotel" is the "Diaoyutai" of southern China. There is a plaque in the Villa Hotel - "Our friends are all over the world", which is a vivid portrayal of historical testimony.
The current villa hotel was renovated and renovated on the original basis in 2001, with more complete and corresponding supporting facilities.
