Located in the center of Fuzhou's downtown area, Yushan Mountain has been an attraction since China’s Warring States period (476-221 BC), when the mountain was called Jiuri. Covering an area of 11.9 hectares, it resembles a huge legendary turtle.

As a historical protection zone, Yushan Mountain now has a number of historical sites, including a white tower, temples, platforms, wells, palaces and over 100 stone inscriptions. The 7-story octagonal tower, 45.35 meters high, is the symbol of the city.
