冠豸山（“豸”读“zhai”）以其主峰形似古代御史（法官）佩戴的獬豸冠而得名，寓含刚正廉明之意。以绵延十里的单斜式峰丛、密集分布的石墙群为主要特征，是典型的壮年期丹霞地貌。波光粼粼的石门湖、九龙湖与该区山体相互辉映，形成了美丽的湖光山色。

独特的地理位置、优美的自然风光，成为早期客家人选址的理想之地。冠豸山书院群、竹安寨古屋场遗址积淀了厚重的客家文化遗产。

Guanzhaishan Mountain is named after its main peak, which resembles the crown worn by the ancient imperial censor (judge), and conveys the idea of integrity and uprightness. It is a typical Danxia Landform in its prime time, which is characterized by monoclinic peak clusters and dense stone walls. Shimenhu lake, Jiulonghu lake and the mountains in the area add to each other’s splendor, forming a beautiful lake and mountain scenery.

The unique geographical location and beautiful natural scenery make it an ideal place for the early Hakka people to choose their home. The Guanzhaishan Academies and the Zhu’anzhai Ancient House Site are the Hakka cultural heritage.
