Yao Wang Mountain is a scenic area characterized by Chinese medicine culture and natural beauty, integrating sightseeing, leisure vacation, health fitness, and scientific education as its main functions. It is a mountainous suburban scenic area located 28 kilometers away from Quzhou city and is one of the main attractions of Zi Wei Mountain National Forest Park scenic spot. The scenic area covers an area of 10 square kilometers, consisting of three peaks, Yao Wang Residence, Horsetail Waterfall, Stone Forest, and the entrance tourism service center.
It gathers dense forests, clear streams, deep pools, waterfalls, sheer peaks, secluded valleys, fairy caves, dangerous paths, and other natural landscapes in one place. The area is known for its unique peaks, secluded valleys, waterfalls, and ancient stones, with mountains and water embracing each other, lush forests, and a hundred medicinal herbs growing among the cliffs, with ancient vines hanging in colorful displays. There are more than 100 distinctive scenic spots and landscapes.
The unique geographical location and superior natural conditions have nurtured a rich variety of wildlife and plant resources. Therefore, it is not only a ‘natural oxygen bar’ and ‘a place nurturing a hundred medicinal herbs’ but also a ‘natural wildlife park’. The medicine culture of Yao Wang Mountain is also very rich, with both legendary and historical elements. It is said that the divine farmer Shennong tasted a hundred herbs in the divine valley, refined elixirs in the stone forest, and saved the people with miraculous medicines.
Yao Wang Sun Simiao once used medicinal herbs and water from the mountain to treat the people’s diseases at Yao Wang Residence. Historical figures such as Liu Guangda from the Qin Dynasty, who was proficient in the theory of the five elements and six Qi, and Yang Jizhou, a master of acupuncture from the Ming Dynasty, have all collected Chinese medicinal herbs in the mountains. The legends of Shennong, Yao Wang, and Hua Tuo add a magical color to Yao Wang Mountain.
