Xibin Monument: This memorial tower was built to commemorate the revolutionary martyr Yu Xibin. In 1982, this memorial tower was listed as a county-level protected cultural relic. In the long years of erosion, the inscription on the tower body partially fell off. Later, on May 18, 2018, the Gaosheng Sub-district Office made great efforts to repair and restore the appearance of the memorial tower. This memorial tower is a hexagonal prism. The positive inscription on the tower body is in official script "Yu Xibin Martyr Memorial Tower", and the negative inscription is in regular script Yu Xibin Martyr's life and deeds. It is a landscape with great historical atmosphere and educational significance. Yu Xibin, male, was born in a poor peasant family in 1929 and was from Chengzigou Village, Dongfeng County, Jilin Province. He joined the revolution in June 1947 and joined the Communist Party of China in November of the same year. In December 1947, for the liberation of the Party and mankind, Yu Xibin followed the army to Gaosheng District, Panshan County. In 11 natural villages, including Zhaojia, Fengtuozi, Lujia, and Huli, he organized farmers' associations to lead the masses to fight against local tyrants and landlords, carry out land revolution, and completely destroy the reactionary feudal forces in the countryside. This caused extreme dissatisfaction among class enemies, who launched a stubborn struggle with the peasants and the land reform work team. They colluded with bandits to form the landlord reactionary armed forces-the Red Eye Team. More than 30 bandits led by Li Zuoting (bandit name Dongshan) suddenly attacked our work team on the ninth day of the first lunar month in 1948. In the courtyard of Du Enxiang's house in Fengjia, Yu Xibin fought fiercely with the bandits and unfortunately died heroically. Comrade Yu Xibin was loyal to the Party and the people and dedicated his life to our great revolutionary cause. Ji Cuifeng: The characteristic landscape of Ji Cuifeng is now fully open for tourists to climb high and look far, stay and rest, and experience the feeling of climbing a "mountain" in Panjin, which has a flat ground, many waters and no mountains.

The highest point of its geographical altitude of 18.2 meters is the Jicui Peak landscape located in the Panjin Forest Park Attraction. Today, the Jicui Peak landscape has been renewed, connecting the highest point of Jicui Peak and the Yu Xibin Martyrs Memorial. Following the terrain and through the forest, a 500-meter-long wooden plank road around Jicui Peak, the Eight Immortals Observation Deck and the Eight Immortals Pavilion on the top of the peak have been built. It has become one of the most distinctive landscapes of the forest park and a business card for the tourism promotion of the forest park. Guanyin Temple: The original site of Guanyin Temple was the Temple of the God of Wealth built during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty (1875-1908 AD). It is a sacred mountain resort in Panjin with outstanding scenery. From the late Qing Dynasty to the present, this place was very popular. Later, due to the changes of the times and the wars, the temple of the God of Wealth fell into disrepair and gradually fell into ruin. However, the Dharma does not rise alone, it flourishes when it encounters opportunities. Later, at the end of the last century, the Guanyin Temple was built on the original site, making the incense here prosperous again.

Legend has it that during the Han and Tang Dynasties, the Fengtuozi area was a fertile land. People worked from sunrise to sunset, and lived a peaceful pastoral life year after year. One night, a huge sandstorm suddenly blew up. The next morning, the wind was calm and the people came to work on their farmland. The scene had changed completely. The cultivated fields were gone, and what lay before them were the eight sand dunes. The dunes were shrouded in clouds and mist, floating and misty, as if there were immortals sitting on the dunes. Near the dunes, there appeared a clear, square pond with a circumference of one kilometer. Since the eight dunes and the large pond appeared, green grass has grown on the dunes, the tops of the dunes, and the surroundings of the ponds, and trees have grown into lush forests. There are tidal flats with water, grass, trees, shrimps and fish, attracting hundreds of birds chirping and flying up and down. The natural beauty brings joy to the people. In order to find out the origin of the eight tidal flats, the villagers invited a geographer to conduct an investigation. The geographer put his hands together, closed his eyes, and muttered, "This is the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing his ability!" The villagers asked, "How do they show their abilities?" The geographer muttered, "Eight immortals rode auspicious clouds to travel east, and passed by here. For some reason, they started fighting. Those who can make wind make wind, and those who can make rain make rain. They didn't want to give in, and no one was willing to admit defeat. The small piles were brought by the wind, and the big ponds were formed by the rain. They fought all night and had to rest because they were tired. After they left, they left behind the sand piles, which still had the air of immortals. After hearing this, the villagers knelt down and prayed, believing that it was God's will and that the immortals had given them this livable place. From then on, every New Year's Day, the villagers came to each pile to light candles and offer sacrifices to the immortals. The villagers also called the eight piles "Eight Immortals". Eight Immortals Legend Scenic Belt: Panjin Forest Park has created two Eight Immortals Legend Scenic Belts with different scenery based on the myths and legends about the origin of this place in the county annals. They are located on the west hill and the bird-watching peak on the north side of the park. The two scenic belts were built according to the terrain, and the portraits of the Eight Immortals in the myths and legends were made with text introductions. Let tourists enjoy more different scenery in the park while understanding the myths and legends.
