Lower Half-Mountain Scenic Area of Langshan

Lower Half-Mountain Scenic Area of Langshan

This area features five scenic spots, including the Immortal Crossing Bridge.

The Fu Yi River Scenic Area is also located here, boasting seven attractions such as General Stone and Beauty Combing Her Hair. The General Stone stands like a towering jade pillar on the opposite bank of the Fu Yi River. In the past, this was one of the Eight Scenic Spots of Xinning, historically known as “Langhu Chao Tian” (Lang Stone Facing the Sky). A Ming Dynasty poet, Cao Yikui, once wrote:

The earth thrusts up a lotus, marking green veins; rugged cliffs rise a thousand feet toward heaven’s gate.

The Fu Yi River lies smooth as a palm, lifting the red sun to pay homage to the highest.

Of course, the poetry may not be outstanding, but the beautiful scenery of the Fu Yi River is truly one of a kind in the world. Along the river, there are also rock formations competing in beauty—like a beauty combing her hair, a giant elephant drinking from a clear spring, a fierce tiger howling at the sky… If you take a boat ride on the river, the stream winds like a ribbon between bizarre peaks and peculiar rocks, with misty rain and bamboo forests lining both banks, resembling a hundred-mile-long scenic gallery.

Formed and developed from danxia landforms, the towering Bajiao Village, the lengthy Tianyi Alley, the steep Candle Peak, the breathtaking Red Wall Cliff, the elegant General Stone, and the majestic Camel Peak, together with the lush, dense forest vegetation and the meandering, crystal-clear Fu Yi River, create a stunning natural scroll painting where danxia, green waters, and blue mountains complement each other—leaving visitors to Langshan in awe and reluctant to leave.
