Mount Jiuhua, which lies in the southwest of Qingyang County in Anhui Province, and is noted for its towering peaks and great number of temples, is one of the four famous Buddhist mountains in China. It is a state-level key scenic area. In the early fifth century, Buddhism reached Mount Jiuhua.

Since then, it has attracted an increasing number of pilgrims, monks and nuns. There are over 80 large and small temples, including nine of national level.
