Ge Hong, one of the founders of the Danding Sect of Taoism, is regarded as the founder of Sanqing Mountain and is highly respected in Sanqing Mountain. From 357 to 361 AD, Ge Hong traveled to Sanqing Mountain and practiced Taoism in this Jielu. The Sanqing Blessed Land still has traces of his alchemy at that time. The top of this mountain peak is shaped like a Taoist priest holding a medicinal gourd, so people named it “Ge Hong” as a commemoration of the founder of the mountain. Tired of climbing the mountain, it is very interesting to stop here and admire the vivid peaks and rocks.
