    At the peak of the central part of Qishan Mountain, there was a city during the Three Kingdoms period, which was extremely strict. Three miles south of the city, there was the ancient fortress of Liang, now known as Qishan Fort, located 25 kilometers away from Licheng County. It was a stone isolated mountain in the Pingchuan area on the north side of the Western Han River, at the southern foot of Qishan Mountain. The surrounding area was not sticky or connected, resembling a turtle or a ship. It stood out and was as flat as a mat. At the beginning of the Western Jin Dynasty, the Wuhou Temple was built on the fortress for worship at all times. After more than a thousand years of ups and downs, the Zhuge Hall, Guanyu Hall, and Qifo Hall have been preserved, forming their own pattern with three courtyards. The Qishan Wuhou Temple is a key county-level cultural relic protection unit. With the attention and care of provincial, local, and county leaders, the temple buildings, statues, and murals have been repaired and decorated, new flowers and trees have been planted, roads have been widened, water and electricity have been connected, service facilities have been added, and a cultural management agency has been established. The Qishan Wuhou Temple has been opened to the public, attracting a continuous stream of tourists who admire its reputation. Centered around the Wuhou Temple, there are more than ten ancient sites available for people to visit, including the Jiangtai, Cangbing Bay, Jiuzhai, Shangmashi, Xiaoqi Mountain, Yancheng Salt Well, Xixian, Mumen Road, and Tielong Mountain. Now Qishan has become a shining pearl on the ancient Silk Road.
