Sights
Every year, tens of thousands of domestic and foreign tourists flock to Yushan's picturesque Sanqing Mountain (三清山), which has been officially designated as a National Scenic Area.
Huaiyu Mountain (怀玉山) is also a tourist attraction. In the Song Dynasty, the great neo-Confucianist Zhu Xi taught there. In Republican times, the area also hosted a guerilla affiliated to the Communist Party of China, led by then legendary general Fang Zhiming.

“We may have civilized bodies and yet barbarous souls. We are blind to the real sights of this world; deaf to its voice; and dead to its death. And not till we know, that one grief outweighs ten thousand joys will we become what Christianity is striving to make us.”
