Description
Litoujian Mountain is located in the north of Cuiheng Village. It is named after its shape resembling a plowshare. It is the highest peak in Cuiheng. Together with Jinbinlang Mountain and Huangniu Mountain, it contributes to the geographical advantage of Cuiheng Village, which is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces the water on one side. Climbing the mountain, you can overlook the entire Sun Yat-sen Hometown Tourist Area, and look far to Zhuhai City’s Qiaoao Island and Qiaoao Bridge, which is known as the "Eight Scenic Spots of Qiaoao". The mountain is where Sun Yat-sen’s grandfather Sun Jingxian, father Sun Dacheng, brother Sun Mei, nephew Sun Chang and the Sun family tomb group are buried. The tomb group is mainly built in the traditional round chair style, retaining the tomb characteristics of Cuiheng Village. Among them, Sun Jingxian’s tomb is located on the south side of Litoujian Mountain, facing the Pearl River Estuary. The terrain is named "Emperor's Field" and was built in the fourth year of Xianfeng in the Qing Dynasty (1854). Visitors can walk along the stone steps behind the viewing platform to the cemetery to pay their respects. The Litoujian Mountain hiking trail is 2.6 kilometers long. There is an observation deck at the highest point of the trail, with an altitude of 97.4 meters. The observation deck is equipped with two coin-operated telescopes, which allow tourists to enjoy the "two dragons playing with pearls" pattern formed by Qi'ao Island and Tangjia Peninsula sandwiched with Venus Island when the weather is fine, and feel the righteousness of Lingdingyang. There is a ballad describing the "Emperor's Field" circulating in Cuiheng Village: Sitting on a throne with your back against a screen, facing the square jade emperor's field. The two sides are arched again and again, as if thousands of people are paying homage to the emperor. There are pavilions on the top and pavilions below, and a pair of giant octopuses have two horns. The Venus pearl is shining brightly, and you can sit in it and enjoy the world.
