legend

It is said that in 719, King qiaojue, the prince of Silla, became a monk when he was young. He crossed the sea into the Tang Dynasty and traveled all over the world to find zhuoxi (the monk's residence). In the golden autumn of one year, I came here to see the three huge stones on the top of the mountain, just like the three great Buddhas. I planned to Zhuo Xi here, so I asked the woodcutter for the name of the mountain. The woodcutter replied, "the hand of the Great Buddha can hold the clouds for thirty-three feet. People call it" the stone Buddha supports the clouds. " The prince thought that the Buddha's head could not be zhuoxi, so he left to look for zhuoxi elsewhere.

The northern slope of the mountain is steep, the southern slope is gentle and easy to climb, and there is a flat land on the top of the mountain. On the mountain, there are forests of green pines, cypresses and bamboos. There are many kinds of grotesque rocks and dangerous rocks. They are as big as houses and can be found everywhere. These dangerous rocks have been weathered for a long time, forming a spectacle. The world can be summarized as ten stone landscapes: "supporting cloud stone", "monk stone", "living Buddha stone", "toad singing stone", "golden turtle stone", "wooden fish stone", "wall stone", "Qizhang stone", "flat peach stone" and "cabinet stone". The "living Buddha stone", which is more than Zhang high in the stone cluster on the top of the mountain, is not only like a fairy peach, but also like a sitting Buddha leaning on other stones. The mountain wind is slightly strong, and the stone is constantly shaking. It is commonly known as the "wind moving stone". Visitors shake this stone with their hands, which is also called "living stone".

On the south slope, the huge rectangular toad singing stone, also known as the tripod stone, hangs on the smooth stone wall, giving people the feeling of falling at a touch. However, when approaching and pushing hard, it is as stable as Mount Tai. "Qizhang stone" is the largest row of huge stones near the top of the mountain. It looks like a copper wall and iron wall. When it's sunny, the sky is high and the air is clear, when you climb it, you can have a panoramic view of Nanyi Lake, Langxi, Guangde and Xuanzhou.
