Mazu An
Mazu An is covered in lush bamboo and tea bushes, with massive rocks scattered across undulating, rugged peaks and winding waterfalls. Peaks such as Xiangzi, Screen, and Stone Dragon stand in the front, while Tianmen, Tianwa, and Jiangdan peaks are positioned slightly behind. In front of Mazu An lies Mazu Cave, said to be the resting and meditation spot of the Taoist monk Mazu, with a secluded spring inside. Exiting the cave and climbing up the path, to the right stands a pillar-like rock, standing proudly against the sky, with the four characters "Southern Heaven’s Pillar" inscribed on it by Yang Sen, a Sichuan warlord. Further to the right is Lotus Cave (also called Alchemy Room), believed to be the place where the Han Dynasty alchemist Zuo Ci practiced alchemy. Nearby lies a massive, round, smooth rock spanning an area of one acre, split cleanly in half from top to bottom as if sliced like fruit—commonly known as "Thunder-split Rock." The Qing Dynasty scholar Li Yunlin inscribed the words "Primordial Misty Haze" on it. To the south of Mazu An lies Snowfall Cliff, where a waterfall cascades down dramatically, producing a thunderous roar heard for miles, creating a spectacular sight.
