All five Yue are named according to their relative locations. For example, Tai Mountain is called "East Yue" as it is the easternmost one of the five. Ever since the ancient times, these five mountains are regarded highly as there is a phrase in Chinese saying " you don't want to see any mountain if you just come back from five Yue". This tells you how great the views at these mountains, and how these mountains perfectly represent the different mountain view in different geographic regions of China.
