With the Hanshui River also flowing by in the north, the hill was a strategic point in ancient wars.

Finally, a tortoise from Heaven arrived and defeated the demon, which turned into Snake Hill are many temples, pavilions, and terraces built over the dynasties, including King Yu's Rock by the side of the river, King Yu's Temple, the carvings on cliffs, and the Ancient Music Terrace (Guqintai).
