  One of the ancient "Eight Scenic Spots of Langxi County," "Emerald Peaks of Wuyayama," is located within the scenic area. Due to Wu Zixu’s connection with this mountain, the landscape is described as “mountain hues thick with misty green flowing like water,” naturally endowing the area with a spirit of distinction. According to the county annals, since the Tang and Song dynasties, scholars, literati, and high-ranking officials from all over have visited this mountain to admire the view and compose poetry. For example, Zong Xi, the Left Provincial Administration Commissioner of Guizhou during the Ming Dynasty, wrote a poem titled "Climbing Wuyayama": “Alone I ride my sedan up Wuyayama’s height, / Where ancient trees and vines have stood for centuries in sight. / Sunlight dances on cascading streams before my eyes, / While clouds steam up cliffs that seem to pierce the skies. / Birds’ backs flash by, then vanish from my view, / Winding paths twist on like lamb’s intestines askew. / The Eastern Sea seems just a stone’s throw away, / I wonder if I could take a raft and drift to fairyland straight.”
