And It seems that you have some missunderstanding or false memory of this
movie. It is the sea not the mountain is inhabited by dragons. The Chinese
dragons are always living in the see :-). And the prince (named Nezha) is
not mortified to kill the drangon, but he has to bo this to save his people.
He killed the prince of the drangon and take the dead dragon's spinal cord
as whip. And then the dragon king come to revenge. The prince don't want to
have the land and people suffered from the war, and he sacrificed himself to
end the war. As you can remember, he had this rebirth and avenge the dragon.

Thank you! I'm sure that's it. Now I must find the English release :)
It's funny how memories play tricks on us.

Based on what you wrote, I think this should be "Nezha Nao Hai"
("Nezha Defeats the Dragon") a short film by Wang Shuchen, Yang
Dingxian, and A Da for Shanghai Animation in 1980. There has also been
a more recent tv series based on the Nezha legend.
Yours in animation,
