The solitary peak is “Black Eagle Cliff.” There are two explanations for the name. One is that it is named for its resemblance to a black eagle in shape; another is that in the past, this cliff was home to thousands of black eagles. The peak rises over 700 meters high and is entirely formed of rock, with a soil layer over one meter thick at the top, which allows trees to grow. The mountain is steep and rugged, comparable to the Maiji Mountain in Tianshui, with an extremely similar shape—though smaller than Maiji Mountain and lacking caves or stone carvings. If a suspension bridge were built here, visitors could cross it and then ascend along the forested gully to reach the summit. From there, not only can more scenic spots of the Guanshan area be enjoyed, but also a panoramic view of Huating urban area can be had, making it an ideal spot for a high-altitude adventure.
