Wu Mountain is located southeast of West Lake in Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province. The rolling hills extend into the urban area, with the Qiantang River on the left and the West Lake on the right.

Because there is a Zixu Temple on the mountain, it is called Xushan. During the Wuyue period of the Five Dynasties (some say it was the Song Dynasty), there was a City God's Temple on the mountain, so it was also called City God's Mountain, and today it is generally called Wushan.

The reason why these old shops are famous at home and abroad has a great relationship with the prosperity of temple fairs. At the beginning of summer, farming began to get busy, and the number of pilgrims from outside decreased.
