Yet the secluded and refined landscape of Shu Mountain and the Feishui River is still a symbol of LuZhou. Here is a brief record in "Dashu Mountain", a chapter in the Annals of Luzhou County: "In Dashu Mountain, with the thick woods, dense forest and the green bamboo grove, there're a lot of poems and inscriptions in its praise left behind by scholars and men of letters from different dynasties.

To reach the Xueji Pavilion near the peak of the mountain, we will look down on the stunning landscape, along which we will feast our eyes on the charming scenery of the vast snowy sea, the mountains and forests clad in white and appreciate the brilliant sunshine and the white snow that could form a splendorous contrast with it.

Through the improvement and construction of woodland for many years, Dashu Mountain Forest Park regained its beauty and green pines and bamboos are thickly carpeted all over the mountains as before. Viewed from the distance, the green forest growing half way down the hill is lush and green.
