Hengshan Stone Gate

　　Stone carvings from the Tang to Qing dynasties, located on the short cliff of Hengshan Mountain on the north side of Xiangyang Reservoir in Liushan Administrative Village, Xinshi Town, Dangtu County, Ma'anshan City. The site is 35 kilometers east of the county seat, covering a total area of over 300 square meters. According to the *Taiping Prefecture Records*, the Stone Gate is described as having “uniquely shaped rocks and winding caves, hence the name Stone Gate.” From a distance, Hengshan Mountain features two natural rock walls arranged left and right, resembling a grand gate. The right wall has been destroyed, while the left remains. The Chinese characters “石门” (Stone Gate), each 1.2 meters wide, are carved horizontally across a span of 2.1 meters on the surviving left wall. The inscription’s date is blurred due to age, but records indicate it dates back to the Tang Dynasty.
