Features: "Lingqiu Songshan" is another specialized work that combines knowledge, local flavor, and tourism guides, following the publication of the scenic series books "Laolongwan," "Dongzhen Yishan," and "Shimenfang." The book is divided into eleven parts and contains nearly 300,000 words. Its release fills the gap of having fame but lacking depth in Songshan, and it is a long-awaited event by readers. Songshan boasts beautiful natural scenery, a long history, and a rich biodiversity, especially known for its numerous ancient cultural sites, clear mountain springs, and high-quality local products. Given that Songshan has transitioned from a closed forest reserve to a scenic tourist area, the book combines natural and cultural landscapes. It provides systematic introductions to three scenic areas—Songshan, Cuisen, and Baiyasi—maintaining consistency with other scenic area series in the county while highlighting its unique features, making it easier for readers and tourists to understand and appreciate Songshan. As an ancient and renowned mountain, Songshan has long been a strategic location, so the section on famous figures and folk tales focuses on historical facts and selects writings with positive themes. Songshan's specialty—dry and fresh fruits—has long been celebrated and has become popular both domestically and internationally since the reform and opening-up.
