Qianyuan Mountain
乾元山
A Taoist mountain regarded in legend as the home of Master Taiyi and the birthplace of Nezha, with the Golden Light Cave as its main attraction.
Qianyuan Mountain lies around Hanzeng Town in northwest Jiangyou. It is regarded as the site of the Golden Light Cave of Qianyuan Mountain, where Master Taiyi cultivated the Way and Nezha was born, as told in The Investiture of the Gods. The mountain contains Taoist structures including the Golden Light Cave and Taiyi Palace, and many pilgrims visit during temple fairs. The mountain road winds and few tourists come, making it suitable for those who enjoy Taoist culture and mythology. The coordinates mark the location of the Silver Light Cave on the mountain.
