When returning to Penglai, the fairyland, Tieguai Li accidentally dropped the treasure gourd cover into the sea. , the sea water was sucked by the treasure gourd, and evolved into the beautiful Zalut mountains and rivers. There is a pair of childhood sweethearts of Mongolian youths on the grassland in front of the mountain. The young man is good at riding and shooting, rough and bold; the girl is good at singing and dancing, and is as beautiful as a fairy. There was a prince who wanted to seize the girl, but he happened to be seen by He Xiangu. She directed the warrior to go to "Golden Cudgel Mountain" (in Zhaqi territory) to find the golden pony and the divine bow. At this time, the girl had been snatched hundreds of miles away. Seeing this scene, the warrior was so anxious that he climbed to the top of Jinzhu Mountain, opened his bow and fired an arrow with a loud noise, and the arrow penetrated two mountains, one is the current Huoya Mountain (in the territory of Zhaqi), and the other is Jinmen Mountain (the Jinkulong Mountain in folklore). The warrior rescued the beloved girl. From then on, they lived and multiplied here and lived a peaceful and happy life.
Today, when you come to the foot of Kinmen Mountain and look at the Guanyin Stone on the mountainside, the vivid Guanyin Bodhisattva will appear in front of you. Where the Eight Immortals stopped, a flat stone surface suddenly appeared in the mountains, which was refreshing and refreshing. When you climb to the highest peak, between the vast mountains and ridges is an endless sea of ??forest, waves and clouds, like an ink painting, it's really beautiful.
There is this poem on the stone carvings on the top of the mountain:

The sun is the reddest and the sun is bright,
Aobao builds a love platform for you...
