Tie Cha Mountain: A Sacred Taoist Site in Northeast China

Tie Cha Mountain, part of the Changbai Mountain Range, features a highest peak with an elevation of 912.9 meters. The mountain is known for its five peaks: the North Peak of Zhenwu, the South Peak of Lingbao, the East Peak of Yuhuang, the West Peak of Taishang, and the Central Peak of Yuanshi. When viewed from the east, south, and north, three peaks are visible, and the Taoist interpretation of this phenomenon as ‘three times three equals nine’ has led to its name, ‘Nine Peaks Tie Cha Mountain’.
The mountain is characterized by its steep and towering peaks, lush forests, towering ancient trees, and deep caves. It is the birthplace of Taoism in Northeast China, with numerous ancient caves such as Yun Guang Cave, Tian Qiao Cave, Qiankun Cave, Ri Guang Cave, Fengyue Cave, Xuan Shi Cave, Guo Zu Cave, and San Xian Cave. Among them, Yun Guang Cave is the largest.
