Yingzhen Peak, standing at an elevation of 1,109 meters, is a classic conical peak. Its summit features artfully scattered rock formations that interlock to form natural caverns. Revered by Taoists as the sacred site for welcoming the Lord of Fate (Siming Zhenjun), the peak owes its name to this tradition of "Receiving the Divine."

History also marks this peak with a story of profound courage: during the final years of Liu Yuan’s resistance against the Yuan Dynasty at the end of the Song Dynasty, eighteen newlyweds, whose husbands had fallen in battle, established a fortress here. They fought with unwavering resolve and ultimately sacrificed their lives together rather than surrender.

When the rain ceases and the clouds disperse, the blue-tinted ridges of Yingzhen Peak emerge, resembling a jade maiden’s elegant coiled chignon—exquisitely graceful and serene. From the rocky fissures, singular pines hang precariously over the sheer cliffs, where a treacherous path leads to the summit. Standing at the top, one can gaze southeast to see the Qianshui River winding like a silk ribbon and the Wanhe River stretching out like a silver belt across the vast, boundless horizon.
