Huangfu Mountain

Huangfu Mountain is a National Forest Park and a provincial-level nature reserve, located 35 kilometers to the west of Chuzhou City, with a total area of approximately 4000 square meters. Originally named Quting Mountain, it was renamed after the Southern Tang general Huangfu Hui stationed his troops here, hence known as Huangfu’s Garrison Mountain, or simply Huangfu Mountain. The main peak, known as Bei Jiangjunling, stands at 399.2 meters and is considered a high peak in Eastern Anhui. On the summit, there is a beacon tower built during the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the existing ruins feature a four-story tower-like structure, a fire-watching tower over 10 meters high, offering a panoramic view from a high vantage point.
Major attractions include Jiangjun Well, Mituo Temple, Jinjia Stream, Kuaihualin, and Baicaozhu. Huangfu Mountain, situated in the subtropical zone, enjoys ample rainfall and lush vegetation with a forest coverage rate exceeding 95%. There are 114 species of wild plants, including protected species such as ginkgo, yellow sandalwood, and Chinese catalpa; over 130 species of wild animals, with 26 species under provincial protection; and 127 species of birds, among which the summer guest, the egret, numbers in tens of thousands, sometimes reaching up to 100,000, creating a spectacular sight.

The Jiangjun Well is located not far from the north slope of the beacon tower on Bei Jiangjunling of Huangfu Mountain and is constructed with stone blocks. The well has a diameter of about 70 centimeters and a depth of no more than 10 meters, with the water level approximately 3 meters from the well mouth. According to records, this well was dug by Huangfu Hui with his steel spear to provide drinking water for his troops when they were stationed at Huangfu Mountain, hence the name Jiangjun Well. The well water is clear and perennial, maintaining a constant water level. It does not drop during long periods of drought or rise during continuous rain.
