山四面巖阻，可以進攻退守，城未畢，宋夔路提刑鄭子發曰：「蟠龍，夔之咽喉，使敵得據之，則夔難守矣，此必爭之地也。」 Steep cliffs ringed the mountain on every side, ideal for offensive and defensive operations. Before the fort was complete, the Song investigating commissioner of the Kui circuit, Zheng Zifa, said: 'Panlong is the throat of Kui; if the enemy secures it, Kui cannot be held. This is ground that must be fought for.'
