With an elevation of 840 meters, it is situated on the north bank of the Wu Gorge, right next to the eastern side of Songluan Peak. The towering peak reaches into the sky, and its summit is surrounded by a cluster of craggy stone pillars standing in uneven rows, resembling a gathering of immortals. Hence the name Jixian Peak, meaning "Peak of the Immortals." It is also called Scissors Peak because a natural fork at the top resembles an open pair of scissors. What makes Jixian Peak unique is its steep, lofty form and the surrounding stone forest, which strikingly resembles a congregation of celestial beings from the heavens.
