Baohu Ridge is located on the seaside 5 kilometers north of Wengtian Town, Wenchang City. The main peak is more than 220 meters above sea level. It is the second highest peak in the northeast of Hainan Island (after Tonggu Ridge). It has been known as one of the famous mountains in Wenchang since ancient times. .
Baohu Ridge runs from north to south, with ferocious mountains. The whole shape looks like a giant holding a tiger. The head of the ridge in the south looks like a tiger's head, and the tail in the north looks like a tiger's butt. In the middle, there is a small bulge in the downward curve of the ridge, which looks like a giant riding a tiger's waist and hugging its neck. The ridges and rocks facing the sea are tall and straight, majestic and as handsome as an axe. The mountains are rugged with strange rocks, and the overhanging rocks are breathtaking. In particular, the huge eagle stone seems to be falling and flying, but it is stable in the east of the mountain. It shows the perseverance and majesty of a warrior fighting against the tiger, and fully demonstrates the greatness of natural creation. The two peaks in the north and south contrast with each other. You can see the sea waves from the front and the sunshine from the south. Each one looks up and down, each with its own unique appearance. In the rock crevices and stone valleys, there are luxuriant wild trees, green crowns, wild flowers and wild flowers, blooming in all seasons; wild fruits such as mountain milk, mountain banana, mangosteen, cowtail (ticket), Maidan (Hainan dialect), red orchid, wild olive and so on. They are produced in season and picked in all seasons, so there is a nursery rhyme at the foot of the mountain: A child who feeds cows should not be hungry. After eating mountain milk, he eats bananas; In the west of the ridge, two mountain streams gurgling down, flowing to the east of Lingjiao and Baoxiao villages respectively. The water originates from the granite gaps in Chongling. The spring water is tinkling all year round and the water quality is sweet. There is a bright moon-like water pool at the foot of Lingnan, which is said to be the place where tigers drink. In 1960, the Nanling Reservoir was built, making the water surface wider.
Not far from Baohu Ridge, there is a small peak full of magical colors, which the villagers call Guanyin Ridge. According to ancient records, in the 33rd year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (AD 1605), there was an earthquake in Qiongzhou. 72 villages in Puqian were collapsed, and Baohu Ridge increased by more than a thousand feet. Legend has it that after Baohu Ridge increased in height, it touched the testicles of Thunder God, who broke it into pieces. The broken peak was cut off in the northeast of the ridge to form a small ridge, which is today's Guanyin Ridge. It is a great Feng Shui treasure land. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Taoist monks have been practicing alchemy here. The alchemy nunnery and ancient monuments are still relatively intact.

There are dozens of wild animals including wild boars, hedgehogs, foxes, pangolins, pythons, horses, pheasants, white-faced chickens, squirrels, etc.; plant resources, in addition to In addition to trees and wild fruits, there are dozens of kinds of yam, yam, red vine, white vine, mountain ginger, honeysuckle, etc. The nearby villagers have had the habit of gathering medicine and hunting since ancient times.
It is said in ancient times that there have been no tigers in the mountains of Hainan since ancient times, so why is this ridge named after Huhuhu? There is a touching story here: In ancient times, Hainan Island was connected to the mainland, and there was no strait to separate it. At that time, there was a big tiger with an eye-catching white forehead hidden in Wuzhi Mountain. It often entered villages and hurt people, and it was unknown how many lives were hurt. The people had no choice but to leave their homes with their children. General Li Guanyin, who was guarding the city outside Wuzhi Mountain, found out about this. He was determined to go to the mountain to hunt tigers and eliminate harm for the people. One day, General Li led dozens of warriors, fully armed, to Wuzhishan. They searched for seventy-seven forty-nine days in the mountains and finally found the tiger's den. General Li commanded the warriors to open up their formation and surround the tiger's lair. When the tiger came out of the cave, General Li gave an order and his bows and arrows fired. The tiger was hit by several arrows, roared out of the encirclement, and fled down the mountain. General Li led the warriors to pursue the tiger for three days and three nights. Dozens of warriors were exhausted and fell behind. Only General Li caught up with the tiger. The injured tiger fled to the seaside of Jing Sum Kok in Weng Tin. With no way to go, he turned back and pounced on General Li. General Li fought with the tiger for ninety-nine and eighty-one rounds, but the sword in his hand was hit by the tiger's tail. He flew away, so he had to fight the tiger with a pair of iron fists. After fighting for two or three hours, the tiger's eyes were bulging and his face was swollen. General Li was bitten by the tiger in several places and was bleeding. The tiger used all his strength to pounce on General Li again. Seeing that he couldn't retreat, General Li tried his best to jump up and ride on the tiger's back. He grabbed the tiger's neck tightly with his two big hands and dragged it forward with all his strength until it reached the shore of Ji Feo Bay. The tiger died. , General Li also died riding on the back of a tiger.
Soon, a large group of leeches brought soil particles to cover the bodies of General Li and the tiger. A large earth mountain shaped like hugging a tiger rose up on the shore of Ji Feo Bay. Later, the earth mountain gradually grew larger, and after thousands of years of wind and sun, it turned into a mountain. People called it Baohu Ridge. With the implementation of Wenchang City's coastal development strategic plan, today's Baohu Ridge, based on its own beauty, together with the adjacent sea rock landscapes of Jimao Bay, Yinshi, Wanzhou, Lingchan and other bays, forms a landscape with ridges.
