Gueishan was formerly known as Gueilunshe, which originated
from a hill in the front of the historical Mercy Buddha
Temple of Shou Shan Rock built in 7th year of the Chien-Lun
Period of the Qing Dynasty and nominated as the national
three grade monument. The hill looked like a turtle in
shape, and halfway up the hill it looked like the head of
the turtle. The Temple was located behind the rear right
leg of the turtle-like hill and, therefore, the top of the
hill was called Gueilunding, while the area around the old
township office was known as Gueilunkou. The jurisdiction
of this Township was collectively referred to as
“Gueilunshe” where Pingpu tribes and Keitago Lan tribes were
gathered and this is why “shan” in “Guieshan” originated in
terms of the pronunciation of “she” in Chinese. Now this
Township is uniformly known as “Gueishan”.
