A must-see geological wonder 1 Stone Gate It is composed of two huge gneissic granite boulders. The western boulder stands by the water, and the eastern boulder is half buried in the pile of rolling stones. The upper part protrudes to the west to form a gate beam, thus forming a natural stone gate with a length of 14.2 meters, a width of 3.18 meters and a height of 5.2 meters. 2 Sword Peak It is a whole piece of granite. After the Quaternary glacial movement, the rocks on both sides of the mountain were eroded and fell off, while the middle was preserved, eventually forming the current majestic mountain that looks like a sword blade. 3Dolphin Bay In the river bend between the Zhongshan parking lot and the Amirsala Bridge, there is a huge rock that looks like a dolphin leaping out of the sea, contrasting with the "Tengu" rock, as if the auspicious beast from the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" has descended. 4. Shenzhong Mountain As its name suggests, it looks like a huge bell standing on the bank of the Ehe River, towering and majestic, with its solitary peak reaching into the clouds. The mountain rises in steps from west to east, layer upon layer, rising higher and higher. Due to the action of frost and weathering, the surface of the mountain is constantly disintegrating, collapsing and falling. Under the baptism of cold wind, ice and snow, the surface of the mountain is constantly peeling off and regenerating, forming a unique terrain shape. As you approach Shenzhong Mountain, you will be amazed at the magical creation of nature. There are four aspects of Zhongshan, namely the elephant, the magic bell, the whale and the magic dragon. They accompany the god of Zhongshan and protect the land and the safety of all living beings. 5 Feilong Bay Opposite the General Peak, a flying dragon is soaring with majestic momentum. This is not only the wonder of nature, but also the embodiment of the dragon totem in the hearts of the Chinese people. Standing on the Feilong Mountain platform, you can feel the majesty and grandeur from ancient times. 6Strange Peaks and Rocks The Giant Python Out to Sea, Xiaozhong Mountain, Elephant Trunk Peak, Camel Peak... Every strange peak and rock is a work of art carefully carved by nature, which makes people marvel at the magic and greatness of nature.
