In the Chinese legend, Yingzhou is one of the mount in the ocean where the gods live, and it is said people could get magical medicine from gods. Xufu was sent by the first Emperor of Qin to look for the elixir of life from the ocean. Yingzhou Seamount was one of his destinations. As this feature is nearby Xufu Guyot, it is named Yingzhou Seamount to memorize the whole history event." |
