The main attraction, Hunyuan Peak (also known as Sword Testing Rock), is about 15 meters high and covers an area of 50 square meters, split into four sections as if cleaved by a sword. Legend has it that it was split by the Taoist priest Ye Fashan when he tested his sword after refining an elixir, making it quite a marvel.
The entire park features eight scenic spots: Xieqiao Spring Dawn, Danshan Splashing Jade, Immortal Land Crane Inquiry, Huan Cui Bountiful Beauty, Fusong Listening to Waves, Dripping-Yi, Hunyuan Sword Testing, and Wangjiang Shuxiao, each with its own distinctive charm and competing in beauty.

Located in the northern part of Hecheng Town, the county seat. In ancient times, white cranes perched on the mountain, hence the names Taihe Mountain and Hecheng Town.
History: Legend has it that during the Tang Dynasty, the Taoist priest Ye Fashan refined elixirs and tested his sword here. After successfully refining the elixir and attaining immortality, he rode a crane and ascended to heaven, thus the site was ranked as the 30th Grotto-Heaven among Taoist sacred sites.
