Jiuri Mountain in Nanan is praised to "charm the visitor as the fairyland would". It is said that from the Jin to Song Dynasties the noble families who moved to the south used to climb this mountain on the nineth of lunar September and the mountain had the name meaning "nineth". The three peaks form an enclosure, embracing 36 scenic attractions with a colourful display of pavilions and halls. Besides, "there is not a single place that does not offer an inscription"; the inscriptions by celebrities in the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties alone amount up to more than 70. The Yanfu Temple, built in 288, the nineth year of Taikang in the Jin Dynasty, is the oldest Temple in Fujian Province.
