The Immortal's Platform is one of the scenic spots in the Yangmei Mountain area of Pengshan, which also features Lanzhang Rock, Fireboat Rock, Flying Squirrel Cave, Plowhead Cave, Compass Rock, and others. The Immortal's Platform is a towering stone pillar that rises abruptly from the mountaintop. It is a square-shaped column, dozens of meters high, several meters long and wide, larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, with a flat summit—hence the name “platform.” Legend has it that this stone platform was once very tall, soaring into the clouds and entering the realm of the immortals. It is said to have often been the site where the Jade Emperor held grand banquets for his ministers or where the Queen Mother of the West hosted her magnificent Peach Banquet. Hence the name Immortal's Platform.
At the top of the Immortal's Platform there is also a tomb, which people say is a feng shui treasure land known as the “Candle Stuck in the Sky.”
