Songlong Mountain Petroglyphs

Songlong Mountain Petroglyphs

The Songlong Mountain Petroglyphs are a Zhejiang Provincial Cultural Relics Protection Unit.

The Songlong Mountain Petroglyphs are located in Fuying Subdistrict, Xianju County, dating back to the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods.

At the foot of Songlong Mountain in Fuying Subdistrict, weeds grow abundantly, and the petroglyphs are carved on an overhanging trapezoidal rock face. The entire rock surface is fairly hard and consists of 12 layers. On these layers and the surrounding cliffs, about 50 carvings—including human figures, snake heads, house shapes, sun shapes, and symbols resembling a 米 (grain) grid—are arranged in a certain order. There is also a circular shape resembling the sun, with radial lines extending outward from the center.

On January 7, 2011, they were announced as part of the sixth batch of Zhejiang Provincial Cultural Relics Protection Units.
