Mount Wangwu (Chinese: 王屋山; pinyin: Wángwū Shān) is a mountain situated about 45 kilometres (28 mi) north west of Jiyuan City in China’s Henan province.[1] Located in the Wangwushan-Yuntaishan National Park, Mount Wangwu is a famous Taoist site that includes the “Celestial Grotto of the Small Pristine Void” (小有清虚洞天), one of the Ten Grotto-heavens of Taoism.[2]

According to legend, the Yellow Emperor used an altar on top of the mountain to offer sacrifices to heaven (祭天) where he received the Book of Nine Elixirs (九丹經),[3] one of the earliest Chinese alchemical texts.[4]
