The site of Banla Mountain (), where Yang Jian split the mountain to rescue his mother Yunhua, is located 1 km southeast of Dade Township,
Zhangwu County,
Liaoning Province. In ancient times, the mountain was called Taoshan. At the bottom of Banla Mountain, there are still remnants of Yunhua, with a turtle and an eagle guarding her. Shiliu Mountain (), located in
Baoji, Shaanxi Province, is associated with the legend of Yang Jian splitting Taoshan to rescue his mother. According to the legend, Taoshan transformed into present-day Shiliu Mountain. At the summit of Shiliu Mountain, there is a massive stone crevice, approximately 1 meter wide, 8 meters long, and seemingly bottomless. It is believed to be the mark left by Yang Jian. To this day, Erlang Temple stands on Shiliu Mountain. Cixiao Pavilion, situated in the western part of Erlangshen Cultural Relic Park, is an impressive three-story building adorned with four-story double eaves, towering to a height of 30.6 meters. In ancient times, structures with more than two floors were commonly referred to as pavilions, and Cixiao Pavilion serves as a scenic spot dedicated to commemorating the legend of Yunhuanu and Yang Jian's heroic act of splitting the mountain to rescue his mother. Inside the Cixiao Pavilion, the statue of Yunhua is enshrined.
Mount Erlang is situated on the southern bank of Shimantan Reservoir in Wugang City, in close proximity to the urban area. It stands as one of the primary attractions within Shimantan National Forest Park. Spanning across 12 square kilometers, this scenic spot has been designated as a national AAAA-level tourist destination. Legend has it that Yang Jian, while pursuing the sun, traversed this region, resulting in the formation of seven peaks, including Jianshan, Pingshan, and Changlingshan, thereby giving rise to the majestic Erlang Mountain. Yunmen Mountain (), situated approximately 6 kilometers south of
Qingzhou in Weifang, Shandong Province, is not only a national geological park but also a prominent national scenic spot and a renowned 5A-level tourist attraction. It is characterized by its four distinct peaks: Pifeng, Shenguifeng, Renzhongfeng, and Fobifeng. The main peak, Pifeng, boasts a distinctive shape resembling a distant knife and ax. This distinctive feature, believed by local legend to be the work of gods, originated from the famous "Legend of Erlang Shen Splitting the Mountain". In a poem by from the
Ming Dynasty, the phrase "the year when the god ax splits the five peaks" refers to the splitting of the easternmost main peak into two separate peaks, thus earning the name "Split Mountain and Five Peaks." ==Conflations==
