The peak is known as Great King Peak because this peak is shaped like an ancient Chinese majestic official's hat. It sits commandingly at the mouth of the Nine-Twist Stream, southeast of the Wuyi Palace. Standing on the 530-meter peak, it greets tourists as they set out their trip. Thick old trees grow at the top of the peak while on the eastern side you can see Immortal-Transformation Cave (shenzhen-dog). According to Zhuxi, the great Confucianist named King Wuyi lived in this cave. A deep split extending from the top of the peak into its bottom is said to be the place where a special envoy in the Song Dynasty worshiped King Wuyi.
