Shiyan Quarrying Site: Shiyan Quarrying Site is located in the southeast of Lion Brain Peak in Xiqiao Mountain, Xiqiao Town. Shiyan was named "Shiyan Rock" because it was once rich in "sky window frame", "stone screen" and "stone ancestral hall". Rocks are mostly red rough stones, and stones are most suitable for building houses. At the foot of Xiqiao Mountain, there is a village called "Shigangwei", which used to be the place of masons. Before the Ming dynasty, it was mostly open-pit mining. After the Ming dynasty, it developed into cave mining and inclined shaft mining. The sky pane was mined in this way, and there were obvious traces of artificial quarrying in the cave. There are support columns left by quarrying in the cave, like a row of screens, which divide the cave into two parts: inside and outside. Due to years of mining and long-term erosion and weathering, the accumulated water has become a lake, which can be canoed in, forming a "waterwheel", "underwater archway" and "stone screen" in the cave.
