Nine Peaks Temple, located in the northern peak of small Kunshan Mountain, used to be Sizhou Pagoda Complex. It was built in the first year of Emperor Qiandao's reign in the Southern Song Dynasty (1165).
Lu Ji and Lu Yun are the grandsons of Governor Lu Xun and Admiral Lu Kang of the Kingdom of Wu in the Three Kingdom Period. They were influential writers and calligraphers in the Western Jin Dynasty. Lu Ji and Lu Yun's Reading Platform, also known as Lu Ji and Lu Yun's Humble Cottage, is situated at the southern foot of Tianmashan.
In order to receive numerous visitors after East Sheshan Park was made freely open to the public, and raise the reputation of the park in tourism and leisure, two service outlets were built on the western slope of the northern peak: Forest Café and Landscape Teahouse.
Forest plank road is a new attraction developed by East Sheshan Park. It starts from Baishishan Pavilion on the southern peak and stretches northwards along the eastern slope of the peak to Forest Café. The total length is about 270m.
Tianmashan is also known as Ganshan. It got its name when Gan Jiang and Mo Ye cast swords here in the Spring and Autumn Period. As the mountain had many temples and worshipers, it is also called "Shaoxiangshan".
