    With smaller peaks clustered around a large protruding area, the peak is named for its resemblance to a lotus blossom.

    This practice was initiated by Huangshan in 1987 and was later adopted by other mountain scenic spots as well. Tiandu Peak on Yellow Mountain has been closed to tourists the same day as Lotus Peak's reopens.
