Tianzi Lake Scenic Area

　　Tianzi Lake Scenic Area is located 35 kilometers south of Langxi County and is part of the Huangshan Mountain range. The area features steep mountains and lush bamboo forests, and is centered around Stone Buddha Mountain and Tianzi Lake. It is a scenic destination known for its religious culture and picturesque lakes and mountains. “A single Buddha holds up the clouds with stones embracing the temple; two lakes cradle the moon as water encircles the hills.” Tianzi Lake and Hongqi Lake complement each other beautifully, with their vast waters—spanning 20,000 acres—dotted with numerous peninsulas and teeming with waterfowl. Around the lake, sites such as Tianzi Bao, Tianzi Gate, the ancient plank walkway, Zhuangyuan Ao, Shaijing Platform, Ghost Gate Pass, and Crab Ridge each have their own legendary tales.

　　The area is filled with oddly shaped rocks in various forms, creating a spectacular landscape of wonder, danger, peculiarity, and charm. Notable formations include: Cloud-Supporting Rock, Monk Rock, Wind-Moving Rock, Toad-Croaking Rock, Peach Rock, Golden Turtle Rock, Lying Ox Rock, Screen Rock, and Sword-Testing Rock. Among them, the “Wind-Moving Rock” is particularly famous—it weighs over 30 tons and is hailed as a “unique wonder under heaven,” remarkable for the fact that it moves slightly when first pushed but becomes immovable afterward, leaving visitors in awe. The Huiming Chan Temple in the area enjoys high renown in southeastern Anhui. Temples such as the Ksitigarbha Hall, Panlong Temple, Great Mercy Tower, and Patriarch Hall are grand in scale and are often referred to as the “Little Jiuhua Mountain.”
