Speaking of Yaowang Mountain, many outsiders are not familiar with it, only know that Shaanxi has Huashan Mountain, Zhongnan Mountain, etc., but do not know the origin of Yaowang Mountain.
Yaowang Mountain is a relatively low-key mountain among the famous mountains in Shaanxi, which may be a lack of publicity.
This mountain is located in the territory of Tongchuan City, Shaanxi Province, Tongchuan is a fifth-tier city, the sense of existence is not very high, which may also be one of the reasons why Yaowang Mountain is not very famous, after all, if you want to do a good job in tourism, you need economic foundation, natural advantages and other conditions.
Yaowang Mountain is about 1.5 kilometers east of Yaozhou District, Tongchuan City, and relevant information shows that the local government officially withdrew from the sequence of poor counties in 2020, and this place with a long history is in need of invigorating the tertiary industry such as economy and cultural tourism.
Regarding Yaowang Mountain, historically, there have been different names, during the Tang Dynasty, it was called Panyu Mountain, and after the Song Dynasty, it was called Wutai Mountain, and this Wutai Mountain was not Wutai Mountain.

As for when this Wutai Mountain was renamed Yaowang Mountain, it should be during the Qing Dynasty, and then it was called Yaowang Mountain.
The reason why it is called Yaowang Mountain is, of course, related to the Yaowang Sun Simiao.
Tang Dynasty medicinal scholar and Taoist. He was revered by posterity as the "Medicine King".
He was a native of Jingzhaohua, that is, a native of Yaozhou District, Tongchuan City, Shaanxi Province, who once lived in seclusion in today's Yaowang Mountain, which was called Panyu Mountain at that time, and in order to commemorate him, later generations built temples on the mountain one after another, making this mountain at an altitude of 812 meters become a famous mountain full of history and culture.
