Jushi Mountain, located in Luoling Town, Yixiu District, Anqing City, Anhui Province, is named for the unique geological formations of megaliths formed by various internal and external stresses over billions of years. It boasts China's largest outdoor training base, offering hundreds of training programs on land, water, and in the air. It has been designated a provincial scenic spot.
Stone Mountain is named after the rocks and is famous for its peculiar peaks, beautiful waters, magical rocks, strange caves and white magnolias. It is known as the " Five Wonders " . There are 48 peaks, 36 valleys, 81 rocks, 72 caves, a string of islands in the middle of the lake, and white magnolias all over the mountain ... They complement each other and are naturally beautiful. Its mysterious legend is similar to the world-famous prehistoric Stonehenge in Wiltshire, England. Its strange shape is very imaginative.
The unique peaks include Longtou Peak, Zhinu Peak (Monkey Peak), Luohan Peak, Cowherd Peak, and Lotus Peak. Longtou Peak and Zhinu Peak, each over 500 meters above sea level, stand tall and majestic, one embodying the love story of Xiaolong and Fenggu, the other the myth of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. They convey a sense of chivalry and tenderness, a lingering sigh of regret.
The unique caves include Tianyin Cave, Juxian Labyrinth, Zhuangyuan Book House, and Weilong Cave. Tianyin Cave (Qianqu Cave) is over 1,000 meters long and winding, deep and secluded, with intermittent light and darkness. It is cool in the summer and unnerving during the day. The Juxian Labyrinth has a variety of shapes and caves within caves. The narrowest part is only wide enough for one person to pass sideways, while the widest part can accommodate a hundred people sitting around. Legend has it that this was the place where the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor formed an alliance and stayed.
The strange rocks include the Divine Monkey Asking the Sky, the Coiled Dragon Raising its Head, the Spirit Snake Emerging from the Cave, the Three Mountains of Penglai, the Carp Leaping over the Dragon Gate, the Five Blessings Coming to the Door, the Lion Looking Back, and the Immortal's Residence ... They either stand on the top of the mountain or hide in the bottom of the valley, and they are extremely lifelike and miraculous.
The maple leaves in late autumn are as red as fire, and the azaleas in spring are about to bloom.
