road passing through the mountain. It is 2385m long, 9m wide,
5 high and the altitude is 2396m. It was built from 1992 and
completed in 1997. After this five year project, it became
much quicker to pass through Liupan Mountain in Shanxi, Gansu
Province and Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. Every month, the
cost of electricity amounts to more than RMB 30,000. The traffic
peak is 5000 vehicles per day, which is equal to 3 vehicles
every minute.

3. Mr. Mao Hui-xin ,the worker in Liupan Forest , was the
guider in climbing Liupan Mountain. He told us a story about
the origin of the name of this mountain. Long long ago, there
was an ancient temple at the foot of Liupan Mountain, in which
an old monk recited the Buddhist scripture every day. One
day, he saw a small deer drinking water at the side of river
and tried to catch it. The deer ran away, while the old monk
followed it closely. After a period, they climbed on the top
of Liupan Mountain. Since then, people called the mountain
“Lu Pan Shan”(Lu means deer, Pan means clime on, and Shan
means mountain.) In Chinese, "Lu" and "Liu"
are similar in pronunciation, so "Lupanshan" generally
changed into "Liupan Mountain".

This is Liupan Observatory not far
away from the Red Army's Long March Museum. |
That is Liupan television relay
station. |
The observatory and television relay station are located
on the top of Liupan Mountain. In order to ensure the function,
more than 100 staffs work there. After interviewing at the
Red Army's Long March Museum, it began to snow, which blocked
our way to those two places. Standing on the top of the mountain,
we recalled the kind hearted and warm staff. They were the
real "Liupan Guards". |
