Jingyang Ridge (simplified Chinese: 景陽岗; traditional Chinese: 景陽崗; pinyin: Jǐngyáng Gāng) is a place in Yanggu County (Chinese: 阳谷县; pinyin: Yánggŭ Xiàn), Shandong Province, China, that is referred to in the classic novel Water Margin as the place where one of the novel's heroes, Wu Song, killed a man-eating tiger with his bare hands. Jingyang Ridge is located a few kilometers northwest of Zhangqiu village (Chinese: 张秋镇; pinyin: Zhāngqiū Zhèn). It is a designated scenic area that protects a hill-top temple and several monuments related to the story of Wu Song. Historical buildings and monuments in the scenic area include:

  • "Place of Wu Song hitting the tiger" (Chinese: 武松打虎处; pinyin: Wŭ Sōng Dá Hŭ Chù)
  • Wu Song Shrine (Chinese: 武松庙; pinyin: Wŭ Sōng Miào)
  • Mountain God Shrine (Chinese: 山神庙; pinyin: Shān Shén Miào)
  • Roaring Tiger Pavilion (Chinese: 虎啸亭; pinyin: Hŭ Xiào Tíng).
