## About Gushan Mountain

Since ancient times it has been praised with the saying: “Qishan to the right, Gushan to the left: the two wonders of all Fujian.”
Yongquan Temple on the mountain takes advantage of the terrain with a distinctive layout, and is described as “entering the mountain you don't see the temple, entering the temple you don't see the mountain.” It has remained a popular destination since the Song dynasty.
