Originally called Quting Mountain, it was later renamed Huangfu Mountain because Huangfu Hui, a general of the Southern Tang Dynasty (937-975), once stationed his troops here.
In the western suburbs of Chuzhou, 35 km from the city proper, the mountain is a national forest park, with a total area of about four square km. It is home to the only well-preserved virgin forests in East Anhui Province.
Its main peak, the North General Ridge, rises 399.2 meters above sea level, the highest in East Anhui. On its top stands a beacon tower erected in the Southern Tang Dynasty (937-975), although what we can see today is only a four-storey tower-like building, with a height of some 10 meters. Such a building was used to watch for the distant fire signal in ancient times. Other major tourist attractions include the General Well, Mituo Temple, Jinjia Brook, Happy Forest, and Egret Islet.
