There is a huge peach tree on the mountain. Its trunk and branches stretch for three kilometers. There is a golden rooster standing on the top of the tree.

"It is said that one day, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin was unwell. He heard the sound of throwing bricks and tiles outside the bedroom, mixed with the howling of ghosts. Emperor Taizong told the ministers about this strange phenomenon. Qin stood up and said, "I would like to put on a military uniform with Hu Jingde and stand outside the bedroom door to protect the emperor." Emperor Taizong agreed to their invitation.
