Fujian Jiuhou Mountain Scenic Area Tourism Guide

Scenic spot introduction:

Jiuhou Mountain was praised by the ancients as "the first peak in southern Fujian" because of its verdant peaks and rugged rocks. Jiuhou Mountain is a branch of Wushan Mountain. It is mainly composed of nine consecutive peaks. These nine peaks stand side by side, towering and straight, like nine noble princes, so it is named Jiuhou Mountain. Local folklore says that nine descendants of Yu the Great came to live in Fujian and turned into gods after their death. Each of them ruled a mountain, so it was named Jiuhou Mountain. The scenic spot is located about 15 kilometers northeast of Zhao'an County, Zhangzhou City, with a total area of ​​about 25 square kilometers. Since the Tang Dynasty, it has been a resort for officials and people of all ages to travel and worship Buddha. During the Song Dynasty, the visit of Zhu Xi, the master of Neo-Confucianism, and the five Confucian scholars who lived in seclusion on the mountain to give lectures made Jiuhou Mountain even more famous.
