Zhapu town fortune-telling

The Origin of Jiulongshan Mountain in Zhapu

The origin of Jiulongshan Mountain in Zhapu: In addition to the nine mountains in Zhapu from west to east, there is also a legend that it is a mountain formed by nine dragons, so people call it Jiulong Mountain.

The mountains of Zhapu are closely related to the urban area of Zhapu Town. Geological structure shows that Zhapu is the remnant vein of Tianmu Mountain in the west of Zhejiang Province, and it has a nice name called Jiulong Mountain. People who have been to Zhapu look at the mountains of Zhapu, all of which are near the sea, showing an east-west trend, with Dushan in the east corner and Cliff Mountain in the west.

Anyone who knows those mountains in Zhapu knows that the main mountains in Zhapu are Tangshan, Daguanshan, Xiaoguanshan, Xichangshan, Xiaopingshan, Chen Shan, Xiaohuangshan, Dahuangshan, Genting Mountain, Dongchangshan, Gaogong Mountain, Qilongshan and Dashan from west to east. There are Lipu Mountain, Tortoise Mountain and Xiaogui Mountain outside the main body, and there are islands such as Yadan Island, Mengxiaoshan, Damengshan, Caidongshan and Waipushan (Little Putuo) in the offshore.

This is Zhapu, with jiusan as the main body from west to east. There is also a beautiful story. Because the legendary Jiulong Mountain is a sleeping fossil of Kowloon, the mountain here is not high, so there is a saying that there are ten mountains and nine headless mountains, and the northern slope is steep.
