Ghost Burial Mountain
Ghost Burial Mountain is situated in Hongxing Village, Xiaojiangkou Township, on the right bank of the Xushui River. With Mount Leifeng behind it and the Xushui River at its foot, the mysterious giant cliff rises 200 meters high and extends for about one kilometer. The sheer cliff face is colorful, and ancient hanging coffins can be seen atop it. These coffins, which date back 3,000 years, are visible from below. They are placed inside rock caves on the smooth, slab-like cliff walls. Over the centuries, poets and scholars have visited and left inscriptions in praise of the site, some of which can still be faintly discerned. About 500 meters northwest of here lies Niulanchong, where jagged peaks rise abruptly and steep cliffs stand densely, creating an exceptionally rugged landscape. Legend has it that Niu Wancai, a general under Li Zicheng during the late Yuan Dynasty, met his end here, leaving behind historical ruins.
