The origin of Maanshan?

The name of Ma 'anshan comes from history.

According to legend, during the Chu-Han War, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, was trapped and besieged on all sides. He retreated to Wujiang River in the county and asked the fisherman to cross his beloved mount to the other side. Later, he felt ashamed to see his elders in Jiangdong and committed suicide.
