Mount Jiuhua was called Mount Lingyang during the time of the [[Han
Mount Jiuhua was originally known as Jiuzi (Nine-Peak) Mountain. But ever since Li Bai, the celebrated poet in the Tang
<blockquote>Sailing down the Jiujiang River the other day, I saw the Jiuhua Peaks in the distance. Looking like a heavenly river hanging in heaven, Its green water embroidering cotton rose [[Hibiscus|hibiscuses]].</blockquote>
[[File:A view of the 99-meter statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva at Jiuhuashan.jpg|thumb|A view of the 99-meter statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva at Jiuhuashan]]
the mountain was renamed Jiuhua Mountain. As a popular pilgrimage destination, it was very famous in the southeastern part of China and became one of the four holy mountains of Buddhism. Since its opening in 1979, Jiuhua Mountain, with its abundant [[Buddhist culture]] and uniquely attractive scenery, has enjoyed a high reputation in southeast Asia, South Korea and Japan. It is known as the mountain and [[bodhimaṇḍa]] of [[Ksitigarbha|Dizang Bodhisattva]] and for having a large number of sacred Buddhist [[Sarira|relics]]. There are 99 peaks in the area, among them Shiwang Peak, Lotus Peak, and others.
Subsequently certified as a national [[geopark]], and then as a regional geopark ([[List of UNESCO Global Geoparks in Asia|Asia Pacific Geopark Network]]), it was admitted as a [[UNESCO Global Geopark]] in 2019.
