The Trail of Stone Stalagmites

Category: Tourist Attractions 👁 100 views

The Trail of Stone Stalagmites is located to the west of Songyang County. It features sheer cliffs that rise abruptly without support, reaching extreme heights. Two towering peaks stand opposite each other, sharp and pointed like bamboo shoots. The two stone stalagmites are over 300 meters apart, with the Temple of Lü Zu Shi situated between them. After being renovated during the Daoguang era of the Qing Dynasty, it was renamed Xiufeng Guan (Graceful Peak Temple). The area around the Trail of Stone Stalagmites is lush with trees, and white walls with blue tiles are nestled within, adding to its serene and otherworldly charm. In front of the stone stalagmite mountain lies the Songyin Stream, where mountain scenery and shimmering water blend into a vast expanse of green. A few farmhouses are tucked among clusters of phoenix tail bamboo along the stream, offering the delights of farming, herding, and fishing that are truly enchanting. It was once known as “Little Peach Blossom Spring.”

The stone stalagmite mountain is one of the former Ten Scenic Spots of Songyang, known as “The Trail of Stone Stalagmites.” It features two stone pillars—twin peaks that stand opposite each other, sharp and pointed like bamboo shoots, with sheer cliffs rising abruptly without support. The two stalagmites are three to five hundred meters apart, with the Temple of Lü Zu Shi situated between them. After being renovated during the Daoguang era of the Qing Dynasty, it was renamed Xiufeng Xian. The area is lush with trees, and white walls with blue tiles nestled within enhance its tranquil and refined atmosphere. On the Xianhe Rock in front of Xiufeng Guan, there are cliff inscriptions such as “Wild Crane Returns” and “Pot Heaven.” In the northern part of the scenic area lies Tantou Mountain, which features many peculiar peaks and strange rocks. Notably, a giant rock by the Songyin Stream resembles an eagle’s beak—a natural formation that is truly breathtaking. As a result, this area is commonly known as Eagle Beak Pool.
