History

The area of contemporary Fenghuangshan Subdistrict is home to a series of centuries old yaodong complexes, most notably, Zhenxilou (Chinese: 镇西楼), which was built into the subdistrict's eponymous Fenghuang Mountain (Chinese: 凤凰山) by Fan Zhongyan during the Northern Song dynasty.[3]: 536 

From January 13, 1937[3]: 533  to November 1938, during the Chinese Civil War, the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party was based out of the foothills of Fenghuang Mountain.[3]: 505
