Mount Jiuhua is one of the four Buddhist holy mountains in China in Qingyang County, Chizhou of Anhui province. It was called Lingyang Mountain or Jiuzi Mountain in ancient China. During Tang Dynasty, Li Bai, the famous poet, and his friends made a trip to this mountain and noticed its nine peaks which look like a lotus and thus renamed it as Mount Jiuhua.
