Guanyinzhai Peak

The Guanbyinzhai Peak is 45 kilometers to the southwest of Xingtai City. Being a twin peak of the Xiaoxitian Nainaiding Peak, it has an altitude of 1,052 meters. The peak is covered with vegetation. Hares and pheasants abound in the surrounding area.

Legend has it that there was once a white dragon doing evil in this region. The people around were badly disturbed. On the first say of the third lunar month, when she was just back from Mountain Mingshan, Goddess Bixia, head of the Xiaoxitian Bixia Palace, was told that a gentleman's bride had been stolen. She supposed it must be the white dragon and then ordered the mythical warrior Lingguan to save the bride at once. Longguan was defeated and ran back. Guanyin Avalon happened to see this and made a valley to trap dragon. Longguan passed the valley and the white dragon followed him. Once the white dragon was in it, Guanyin locked him. This is supposedly why the Guanyinzhai Peak sometimes glows with lights when it is rainy or windy.
