## About Jiuyi Mountain

Also known as Cangwu Mountain, Jiuyi Mountain takes its name from Emperor Shun's southern tour. Its green peaks rise majestically, karst caves dot the landscape, and the natural scenery is beautiful. This is also a Yao ethnic community, where you can enjoy Yao songs, long-drum dances and the wedding custom of the bride “sitting in the song hall” (坐歌堂).
