At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wei Meifu of Nanchang County became Wang Mang and retired to Feihong Mountain in the western suburbs. To commemorate his noble character, later generations built the Plum Fairy Altar on the top of the ridge and the Plum Fairy Temple at the bottom of the ridge, and renamed Feihong Mountain as Meiling.

2. Houtian Desert Ecological Tourism Scenic Spot: This undulating sand dune is the alluvial deposit of the original Gan River. Due to the incision of the Ganjiang River, both sides of the river bank were raised. The current desert landscape was finally formed under the influence of erosion, transportation and accumulation by the endless seasonal winds. There is a crescent-shaped lake on the southeastern edge of the desert. There are well-preserved original plant communities in the shelter of the sand dunes, and many types of birds and small animals inhabit it.
