Tianzhu Mountain or Mount Tianzhu (Chinese: 天柱山; pinyin: Tiān Zhù Shān; literally Heaven pillar mount) is a mountain in Anhui, China. Tianzhu Mountain has another name called Mount Wan. The abbreviation for Anhui province "Wǎn" derives from it. The mountain locates in Qianshan County, Anqing City. Tianzhu Mountain has 45 peaks which are 1000 meters above sea level. Its highest point has an elevation of 1,760 metres (5,774 ft). There are two paths to reach the top, either from the east or from the west; Dalong will try the west path first because it is the easier one.
One of the famous sites is the Mystery Valley. It is a maze-like valley formed by the rocks falling from the mountain. The valley has 53 caves, which form a very complicated maze.
