Jiuxiaoding swans hold eggs. Jiuxiaoding is the highest peak and is also the center point of tourism. There are not many mountains, but there are many mountains and mountains. There are more than 30 large and small peaks. , Looking at the top of Jiuxiao from a distance, it looks like a mushroom, and it also looks like a swan with its wings spread out, which is hatching eggs, commonly known as swan holding eggs. On the half-rock slope of the summit, swan-egg pebbles were dug out, varying in size; as big as a basket and as small as a rugby ball. In front of the swan, there is a red stone rock, which looks like a leopard when viewed from the side. It is looking at the ground, facing the swan, waiting for an opportunity to steal the swan eggs.
Double Lion Worshiping Elephant is located at the northern end of Laolinkou, a high stone staircase with lush trees, dangerous terrain and strange mountain shape. Among them, two mountains are shaped like lions, one is like a laughing arhat and the other is like an elephant. From a distance, it looks like a Laughing Arhat leading two lions to worship the elephant, which is called "Two Lions Worshiping the Elephant".
There is a man digging a hole under the neck of a male goose with stalagmites flying high in the sky. There is a ravine through which there are cliffs on both sides. The mountain is high and dangerous, and the terraces along the ravine make it feel like a paradise outside the cave. At the bottom of the ditch, a peak stands, piercing the blue sky. It is called Stalagmite Mountain, and the ditch is named Stalagmite Valley. According to legend, elephants feed on bamboo shoots, and stalagmites are born in response to elephants. There is a red rhododendron on the stalagmite. In late spring and early summer, it is as red as fire and is extremely spectacular.
Yangsiyan and Stalagmite Valley face each other across a ditch. There are four caves carved into the cliff, with six inscriptions from the Qing Dynasty embedded in the walls. The remains of villagers lighting up sky lanterns are still there. Legend has it that a wooden statue of a god flew from Mount Emei, named Yang Si, who was good at conquering and fighting. In order to ensure the peace of the place, the villagers dug holes to build temples and placed the statue of General Yang Si, hence the name Yang Siyan. There is a series of stone steps, and you have to climb with your feet and hands to enter the cave.
