Fuyi River Scenic Area. This area includes seven attractions such as General Stone and Beauty Combing Her Hair. The General Stone stands like a pillar reaching to the sky, towering on the opposite bank of the Fuyi River. In ancient times, this was one of the Eight Scenic Spots of Xinning, referred to in old records as “?~ Halberd Facing Heaven.” The Ming Dynasty poet Cao Yikui wrote a poem about it:
A lotus rising from the earth, its emerald veins standing out,
Its rugged form, a thousand feet high, pointing to the Heavenly Gate.
The Fuyi River’s waters lie flat as a palm,
Holding up the red sun to present to the Highest.
