At an altitude of 2358 meters, it is the highest peak in southern Shanxi. More than 5000 acres of subalpine meadows on the plateau were cultivated by King Shun. In July and August, the meadow blooms like a tapestry of flowers, like a carpet falling from the heavenly palace to the human world. The "Annals of the Five Emperors" in the "Records of the Grand Historian" records that "Shun cultivated Lishan, fished Leize, and Tao Riverside". Nowadays, the "Shun Culture Research Association" in Yuanqu County has collected and organized more than 100 folk stories about Shun, such as "The Stepmother's Rampage", "Gonggeng Lishan", "King Yao's Visit to the Wise", and "Falling into a Well and Throwing Stones"
