Tàihángshān

The mountain country east of the Fen River rises into the forested Taiyue range. Its steep western slopes overlook the Pingyang basin, and springs emerge at the foot of Mount Huo. Among them, Huo Spring supplied water to the fields of the surrounding counties and was honoured at a Water God Temple beside Guangsheng Temple. The ridges also form a watershed between the Fen River and rivers flowing eastward, dividing valleys that lead through the Shanxi uplands.
