Cangshan District, where Yantai Mountain is located, is an island, namely "Nantai Island". The official name of Yantai Mountain in the Song Dynasty was Tianning Mountain, and it was also called Yanchang Mountain in the Ming Dynasty. After the Opium War, it was officially called "Tianan Mountain". Fuzhou became a five-port trading port, and tea warehouses, salt warehouses and rice warehouses moved to the riverside at the foot of the mountain, so it was commonly known as "Zangqian Mountain", that is, Cangqian Mountain. Yantai Mountain Park overlooks the tall buildings across the Minjiang River.
Yantai Mountain used to be the center of foreign economic and cultural exchanges in Fuzhou. After the Opium War, Fuzhou, as one of the five major trading ports, officially opened its port in the 24th year of Daoguang in Qing Dynasty (1844).
