Yamaguchi Thousand Silk Rock

　　Guide: The scenic area features natural landscapes such as Layered Cake Rock, Hanging Waterfall, Tianmen Ridge, Guanyin Listening to the Waterfall, Yin-Yang Bed, General Rock, and Frog Cave. On the cliff face, the eighteen arhats carved from granite are grand and imposing, with Zhao Puchu inscribing the three characters “Luohan Wall.” The Thousand Silk Temple Complex consists of the Guanyin Pavilion, Hu Gong Temple, and Mazu Temple, each with distinct architectural styles that vividly showcase Qingtian stone. The Secluded Garden is divided into two parts along the banks of a stream — the Drunken Garden to the east and the Osmanthus Garden to the west.

　　Tip: Yamaguchi Town is known as the “Stone Carving City of China.” Nearly every household in Yamaguchi operates a stone carving workshop and has a stone carving display room. Stone carving shops and workshops are found everywhere; the town’s stone carving market is a nationally renowned hub for premium stones, making it the top choice for viewing and purchasing Qingtian stone carvings. : Thousand Silk Rock is located in Yamaguchi Town, 14 kilometers southeast of the county seat. Here, rock layers overlap in tiers, and the “Thousand Silk Waterfall” cascades down from above, splitting into delicate streams. Nearby, the nationally renowned calligrapher Sha Menghai inscribed the three characters “Thousand Silk Rock” on the cliff face.
