The mountain is famous for its tea, and famous tea always has a beautiful legend. Song tea is the same.

Legend has it that Zhao Min, the late Song Emperor, was chased by Yuan soldiers and fled south. As soon as the emperor and his party entered Phoenix Mountain, they went to Wuji Mountain and climbed Tianchi Mountain all the time. The emperor and his ministers were tired and thirsty, and the young Song Emperor sat on the grass and called heaven and earth. At this time, a red cloud floated in the air, and a phoenix bird flew over the crowd with a bunch of leaves in its mouth. It threw the picked leaves in front of the emperor, made a long sound and flew away. Those who knew tea in the entourage immediately picked the tender leaves and presented them to the emperor, saying, "This is tea. The sage will put tea in his mouth and chew it slowly to quench his thirst. " Let Di Min chew. After chewing, he can quench his thirst and feel refreshed. And gave the rest of the tea to the ministers to quench their thirst. The few tea leaves were instantly exhausted, leaving only tea branches and a pair of tea fruits. The emperor took out the tea seeds from the fruit, tore open the soil, planted the tea seeds in the ground, and said, "Let this tea grow on Wushan." Soon, clusters of tea trees really grew at the foot of Wushan Mountain, named "Song Tea" and later called "Song Seed". It grows in the lawn Rocky Mountains at an altitude of1150m. Later generations are eager for the emperor to give them the reputation of "Song Tea" and compete to spread seeds. After long-term reproduction and generations of planting, tea areas began to take shape in the Qing Dynasty (1736- 1820). At the same time, Fenghuang tea became a tribute of Qing Dynasty and a famous tea in China because of its excellent quality. Phoenix tea farmers, who have been carefully selected by the Breeding Society for hundreds of years, have developed dancong tea with various flavors and become the hometown of famous tea (oolong tea) in China.
