Jueshan Mountain on the south bank of the Danhe River in southeast of Jincheng city has two peaks with the altitude of the main peak being 973 meters.

There are many Buddhist and Taoist temples, and Confucius memorials on the mountain, such as Baimachan Temple, which was built in the Tang Dynasty (618-907), and Erxian Taoist Temple, which dates from the Song Dynasty (960-1279).
