祝融峰, Sacred peak in Hengshan Mountain, China
Mount Zhurong reaches 1,290 meters above sea level and stands as the highest point of Mount Heng in Hunan Province, featuring stone paths and forested slopes.
The mountain served as a religious center where ancient Chinese kings, including King Yao and King Shun, performed sacred rituals and ceremonies throughout centuries.
The peak carries the name of Zhurong, the Chinese deity of fire, and contains multiple temples that reflect traditional Chinese spiritual practices and beliefs.
Visitors can access the summit through marked hiking trails, with the main entrance located in Nanyue District providing guided tours and transportation services.
The mountain contains two of the last remaining wild velvet soapberry trees on Earth, contributing to the site's environmental preservation status.
