Washan - story behind the name

What's the story behind the name "Washan".
Is it a famous Kungfu training mountain or in a movie/book ?
Or is it just random name ?

Reason 1:
There are five famous mountains located in China, in Cantonese:
1) East- Tai Shan,
2) South- Hang Shan,
3)West - Wa Shan,
4) North - Heng Shan,
and 5) Middle Shung Shan (where Shaolin Temple located).

in certain extent they are holy montains.

Reason 2:
Besides, in modern Chinese martial arts fictions, WaShan always an important base for fantastic martial arts contest place or a martial arts discussion forum. In the stories, WaShan is almost as important as Shaolin Temple.

Reason 3:
In Hong Kong, there is a famous Chinese (Cantonese) martial arts forum, which is called Washan. Many of us know each other there some years ago.

Now I understand.
Thanks for the reply.
