Fangshan Mountain (Square Mountain) is 16 kilometers north from Yongren county seat, Chuxiong Yi Autonomous Prefecture. Cheng-Kun Railway (Kunming to Chengdu), the roads from Kunming and Chuxiong to Panzhihua converge here. The name of Fangshan Mountain is derived from its resemblance to a square table when viewed from the distance. It covers an area of 1,500 hectares and exhibits lush vegetation and strong moisture. Local residents call it a Cool Place as the annual average temperature is only 12 degrees Celsius. Fangshan Mountain Resort comprises Wang Jiang Ling (Mountain Ridge to View the River), Pearl Dripping Rock, Seven Star Bridge, Fairy Pool, Hawk Rock, Kongming Cave, Hanquan Waterfall, Rhino Pond and so on.
Clambering a top Wang Jiang Ling, one can have a birds-eye view of mountains and the Yangtze River with howling water surging eastwards. Fangshan, whose geographic conditions were very rough, was a fortress contended by warfare commandeers in ancient times because it served as the gateway between Yunnan and Sichuan provinces. It’s said that on the southern expedition of the Shu State in the Three Kingdoms Period (220-280), Zhu Geliang (the prime minister of the Shu State) once stationed his troops at Fangshan Mountain.
