Gexian Mountain is a famous Taoist mountain, located in the middle of Yanshan County and a branch of Wuyi Mountain. Standing on the main peak and looking around, I saw nine branches, such as nine black dragons, hovering and leaping, coming by clouds, with magnificent momentum, so people called it the top of Kowloon.
