264, Hurricane Heavenly Army

About eighty li west of Baiming Ferry, there is a mountain peak about a thousand zhang tall, shaped like a pagoda with its tip piercing the clouds. Due to the wind and rain that batter the peak all year round, vegetation cannot grow, leaving only a layer of yellow rock walls exposed. From afar, it looks like a sharp spike of gold thrust into the river, hence it was named Giant Gold Peak, considered a well-known place near Baiming Ferry.

There had been explorations of Giant Gold Peak in the past; some people were fooled by its shape and name, thinking that it contained a gold mine. In earlier years, there was a constant flow of people attempting to explore it, but after more than a decade of fruitless searching, it slowly fell into obscurity, serving at most as a landmark for ships passing by, not far from Baiming Ferry.
