It is connected to Xiaofu Valley in the east and Baishi Valley in the western suburbs. The main peak is 1664.4 meters above sea level. Because it is connected to the Huashan Mountain in Xiyue, facing each other from a distance, it is also called "Erhua", but it is lower than Huashan, so it is named Shaohua Mountain, also known as Xiaohua Mountain. Shaohua Mountain is not only a famous Taoist mountain in China, but also the sister mountain of Huashan Mountain in Xiyue. It has been called "Erhua" since ancient times. Literati of the past dynasties have written many poems and articles praising Shaohua Mountain. In the late Sui Dynasty, the green forest hero Wang Bodang gathered here. Many of the stories of Jiuwenlong Shijin in the famous book "Water Margin" took place in Shaohua Mountain. Relics such as Shanmen and Shizhai are still visible.
