1488m Tianzhu Peak, Tianzhu Mountain

the main peak of Tianzhushan is so called for its resemblance to a towering pillar.
Composed of medium-grained monzonitic granite from the early Cretaceous period (128 million years ago). Since the vertical and diagonal joints are well-developed and intersect with each other on granite, deep weathering occurs, which causes the disintegration and collapse of the rock mass, eventually forming the pillar-like peak.
