called Jingmei Mountain after its location near the intersection of the
Jingmei and Xindian rivers, the local people refer to it as Xizikou Mountain.
The name Xianjiyan is due to the large rock at the peak, which is believed
to be the relic of an immortal ("xian"). It is a branch of the
Nangang Mountains. At 144m in height, Xianjiyan offers a gentle day out
for family groups. Many trails ascend the hill, the most popular being
the stairway of the monumental archway starting from next to No. 241,
Jinxin St (#3 entrance on the map). Though the steps are rather steep
at the beginning, they become gentler. Trees are thick; the slope is gentle,
making it a good choice for summer. The hill and Xianyan Temple make good
sightseeing destinations, offering fine views.
Buses 10, 30, 74, 209, 251, 253, 278, 284, 290 and 505 all come here;
visitors should alight at the Jingxing Road stop.
