What does Shuangfeng Chaoyang mean?

Shuangfeng Chaoyang is one of the top ten scenic spots in Shawan Village, Jingning She Autonomous County, Zhejiang Province. Shuangfeng Chaoyang refers to the mountain behind Shawan Village. There are two connected mountains stretching for hundreds of miles. They come from the top of Fengyang Mountain, the highest peak in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

The two connected mountain shapes are like dancing phoenixes, flying to Shawan and settling here, bringing good luck and well-being to Shawan, leaving behind hopes and dreams. Therefore, during the Qing Dynasty, Shawan had an advantageous geographical location, convenient waterway transportation in the creek basin, frequent goods transactions, and a prosperous market; there were numerous literati, and there were two of the "Seven Sons of Jingning" in Shawan. Shawan is the economic, cultural and trade center in the upper reaches of the creek basin in Jingning County.

Jingning is located in the middle of the mountains in southern Zhejiang. The Donggong Mountains run diagonally from southwest to northeast, with towering peaks, including nearly 800 peaks over 1,000 meters tall. The terrain is complex, with the terrain gradually sloping from southwest to northeast.

The landform is dominated by deep-cut mountains. Originating from the Oujiang River tributary stream in the Donggong Mountains, it runs through the entire territory from southwest to northeast, dividing the county into north and south parts, forming a 124.6-kilometer-wide river on both sides. The long and narrow strip forms a landform pattern of "nine mountains, half water and half fields" and "two mountains sandwiched by a river, with many ravines and flowing water".
