"Beacon fires play vassals"

Lishan Mountain is an important branch of the Qinling Mountains. Lishan Forest Park not only has high mountains and beautiful waters, but also has a profound cultural and historical background. When the historical allusions of "the beacon fire playing against the princes" are mentioned, many people think that the beacon tower lit by King You of Zhou for Bo Baosi was on the Great Wall. In fact, it was not. The beacon fire playing against the princes took place in the late Western Zhou Dynasty. Therefore, based on historical speculation, what was lit was actually a beacon tower located on the top of Lishan Mountain. Nowadays, by climbing the beacon tower, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Lishan Mountain, dream back to the Western Zhou Dynasty, and feel the charm of history.
