Huixian Peak is situated in Kongyuan Village, Hongcun Town, Lichuan County. Though less precipitous than Huashan Mountain and less imposing than Mount Tai, it boasts an extraordinary grandeur.

Its magnificent scenery once drew Xu Xiake, the great geographer of the Ming Dynasty, who recorded in his travel notes: "From the mountain ridge to Huixian Peak, it seemed very near. Yet I had to climb four steep, jagged summits one after another. Beneath them crisscrossed chaotic gullies where streams converged into deep pools. After repeatedly ascending and descending for another four li, I finally reached the summit of Huixian Peak. All the towering mountains to the east lay far below me; this was the remotest part of the mountain range."

Since then, numerous officials and literati from successive dynasties have travelled here out of admiration, leaving behind countless fine poems.

Standing 1,355 metres above sea level, Huixian Peak is a scenic spot within Yanquan Nature Reserve. It features fantastic landscapes of jagged ridges and grotesque rocks. According to legend, three immortals once gathered here, hence the name Huixian, meaning "Meeting Immortals".

Viewed from afar, the peak resembles a roaring male lion raising its head, so it is also known as Lion Peak. Towering above surrounding mountains and piercing the clouds, it commands a spectacular view with the momentum to overlook Fujian and Jiangxi across the Wuyi Mountains.

A winding mountain road cuts through rock caves all the way to the peak. Standing atop the mountain, visitors feel as if they have stepped into a rich oil painting. Dense forests spread across the foothills, while jagged rocks cover the mountain top, dotted with graceful pine trees growing stubbornly out of stone cracks.
