Guishan of Turtle and Snake Mountains

Snake Mountain is located on the south bank of the Yangtze River in Wuchang District, Wuhan City. Snake Mountain, also known as Huanghu Mountain, is a long and winding mountain, shaped like a crouching snake, with its head facing the river and its tail in the busy city. Facing Hanyang Guishan across the river, the south bank of Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge and the north bank of Hanyang Guishan are the north and south intersections of the bridge. Snake Mountain is about 1,790 meters long, 85 meters above sea level, and about 25-30 meters wide. There are many historical sites and scenic spots on the mountain, all of which are steep, long and narrow, and the situation is very dangerous. As early as 223 AD, Xiakou City was built on it during the Three Kingdoms period. It has been continuously expanded in the past dynasties, and there are many famous areas and scenic spots. There are more than 20 pavilions in the Yellow Crane Tower, Baji Tower, Baiyun Tower, Liuyun Pavilion, Yilan Pavilion, etc., so it is known as the "Gaao District of Hubei God".
