白鹤山

              (Hebin Park)


    位于鸳鸯江畔珠山旁。白鹤山为梧州八景之一，昔称"鹤冈返照"。当朝阳刚从西江浮起，河上晨雾未消，隔江相望，窈窕多姿的白鹤山，宛如一个静卧云雾中的仙女。当斜阳西照，霞光把白鹤山的倒影投入碧绿明亮的桂江，就象一个花容月貌的女郎对镜梳妆。清光绪二十三年(1897年)梧州辟为通商口岸后，英国在白鹤山四周竖起大英国地界碑，建起领事署。惠师礼会、圣书公会、美国圣经学院也设在这里。白鹤山下立有禁止游人登山的木牌。1918年 春有桂军数人登山游玩，英领事放出狼狗咬人，桂军排长为自卫而打死洋狗，后被英领事署威逼而遭枪杀，以偿狗命。经过反英浪潮后，英国于1928年交回白鹤山。白鹤山于1930年辟为公园，面积约14公顷，园内古树参天、鸟语花香。山顶上有英国领事署旧址，有"还我河山"石碑等文物古迹，以及花圃、游乐园、水池等。鹤冈楼栋宇雄壮，古朴典雅，楼前植花木盆景，中为白鹤雕塑；楼高三层，登楼可极目全城，南望西江滚滚波涛东去，系龙洲隐约可见，与允升塔夕照相映成趣；东瞰市区，桂江一桥飞架东西，楼宇栉比，云岚烟树，气象万千。奇石馆内陈列着桂东南一带的钟乳石、彩霞石、墨石，有的像千年寿龟，有的似金凤展翅，有块彩石更为神奇，酷似英国女王头像赫然印在石上。千姿百态，游人无不称奇。
