Langfeng Rock
  Langfeng Rock was formerly known as Shijiao Rock. It is the easternmost peak of the Seven Star Crags. It got its name from a Taoist scripture that says, “Of the three peaks of Mount Kunlun, one peak shines under the morning star and is called Langfeng Peak.” The rock rises steeply like a sheer cliff and stands opposite the western peak of Yuping Rock, presenting a majestic sight. By following the southern foot of Yuping Rock, visitors can climb up step by step, and ascend to the summit via the east side of the Jade Emperor Hall. From the top, you can gaze into the distance: to the east are the Antelope Gorge and Dinghu Mountain, and all around is a panoramic view of the Seven Star Crags. The rock is surrounded by water on its southeast and north sides, and features numerous karst caves. On the southern side of the summit lies Bottomless Cave, whose entrance is about 2 meters in diameter. The cave is dark and deep, winding downward in a winding path, making it difficult to see the bottom. At the western foot of the rock are the Lansheng Archway, Qiyun Pavilion, and Penghu Path. Below the path lies Liuxia Island, also known as Zhonggu Cave. Inside the cave, there is a stalactite hanging like a curtain, and in the middle is a stone believed to be the incarnation of the legendary songstress Liu Sanjie. When the cave is full of water, the dripping sounds echo melodiously, like heavenly music. To its east lies Hanzhu Cave, which contains water. Inside the cave is a chamber called Wulong Cave, and outside the cave, two stones hang down like chime stones that produce a resonant sound when struck.
