Fushou Mountain is located in Sicun Township in the southeastern part of Pingjiang County. Here there is Fushou Mountain mineral water comparable to France's "Vichy," a pleasant climate with extreme high temperatures below 30 degrees Celsius, 96% forest coverage, and a super "oxygen bar" created by a 10-kilometer waterfall. There are thousand-year-old longevity vines rarely seen in the world, nationally rare money trees and virgin secondary forest, a 10-kilometer underground passage, and the mysterious site of the White Lotus Sect—below Fushou Mountain the Miluo River flows gently, with Du Fu's Tomb, the site of the Pingjiang Uprising, and other landscapes densely distributed along its banks. The scenic area has rich and varied natural landscapes and profound cultural landscapes, with high cultural, scientific, and tourism value. Fushou Mountain backs onto Changsha City and the Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan economic circle, and is connected by multiple high-grade highways including the Beijing-Zhuhai Expressway and the Changde-Yongzhou Expressway, with convenient transportation. It is suitable for comprehensive tourism such as eco-tourism, summer vacation retreats, leisure convalescence, mountain climbing and exploration, water recreation, red education, outdoor activities, and self-driving tours.
In 2005, Fushou Mountain was listed as a key project of "Hot Tours of Yueyang." At the same time, Pingjiang County increased its development and construction efforts, fully completed the first phase of the Du Fu Tomb and Ancestral Hall project, and successfully held the International Academic Symposium on Du Fu. Through efforts on multiple fronts, the site of the Pingjiang Uprising was included among the nation's 30 premium red tourism routes and one of the nation's 100 classic red tourism scenic areas. The Party Committee and Government of Sicun Township actively attracted investment of 30 million yuan for widening and upgrading the scenic area road to Fushou Mountain, building reception facilities in the scenic area, and developing scenic spots such as the Baishui rafting.
Fushou Mountain is located 580 kilometers from the southern suburbs of Pingjiang County town. It is the third highest peak within Pingjiang County, with an elevation of 1,554.9 meters, a forest coverage rate of 98%, and an average annual temperature of 12 degrees Celsius. The magical geographical environment and unique forest climate make Fushou Mountain a combination of beauty, steepness, and wonder. In spring, seas of clouds and mist, birdsong and fragrant flowers; in summer, cool and tranquil, with beautiful scenery; in autumn, dense forests like waves, red maples and fragrant fruits; in winter, silver frost and snow, northern-style scenery. Climbing high and gazing north at the mountain ranges, they stretch and undulate like soaring dragons; looking east at Fushou Peak, it towers into the clouds, as if riding the mist; gazing south at the forest sea, thousands of acres of tall bamboo, green waves rippling; looking down west at Baishui, like a hanging bright mirror, with graceful reflections floating.
