According to Taiwan official records, "Caoshan is named for its abundant thatch.". It generally refers to the mountain areas around Datun mountain, Qixing mountain, Shamao mountain and Xiaoguanyin mountain, rather than a single peak. During the reign of the Qing Dynasty, the government worried that the bandits could hide in the forest to steal sulfur, so they set fire to the mountain regularly. Therefore, the whole mountain area could only grow Miscanthus. In 1932, the Tatun National Park Association was established during the Japanese occupation of Taiwan, and the Tatun mountain area was included in the scope of the National Park. On December 27, 1937, Tatun National Park was established at the same time as the second highest Taroko National Park and the second highest Alishan National Park until the defeat of Japan. At that time, the Tatun National Park included the Guanyin Mountain on the other side of the Tanshui River.

In 1950, in memory of Wang Yangming (philosopher, writer, militarist and politician), Chiang Kai Shek changed the name of Datun mountain, Qixing mountain, Shamao mountain and Xiaoguanyin mountain to Yangming Mountain. In 1962, the then Taiwan Public Works Bureau began planning Yangmingshan Park, with a preliminary planning area of 28400 hectares, including the north coast, Guanyinshan and Datun volcanoes. On September 16, 1985, after years of planning and settlement of disputes over land resources, Yangmingshan Park was officially established. Its scope is mainly in the center of Datun volcano. It does not include the Guanyin Mountain in the Japanese occupation period and the initial planning, nor does the north coast.

The mountain is located in the north of Taipei, 16 kilometers away from Taipei. It is a saddle shaped platform formed by the intersection of the southern foot of Qixing mountain, the highest peak of Datun mountain, and Shamao mountain, with an altitude of 443 meters. Yangmingshan Park was built in May 1986, covering an area of more than 11000 hectares, covering Yangmingshan and the volcanic group centered on Datun mountain and Qixing volcano. However, due to the influence of volcanic activities, it has formed underground sulfur gas erupting holes and boiling sulfur springs, making its scenery unique and spectacular, so it is the most famous. It is one of the tourist centers and summer resorts in Northern Taiwan.

After cooling, it becomes yellow needle like sulfur crystals, which are crystal clear and transparent. Those with thick color are like yellow gold, which is called "fool's gold". In the valley, the light red, yellow, white and black volcanic rocks formed by the magma ejected during the volcanic eruption can be seen everywhere, which is spectacular.
