Heliang Mountain Ancestral Ridge

The Shidui Dui scenic spot is located on Longxi Mountain to the west of Shanzu Ridge in Heliang Town. The *Shicheng County Annals* published in the 24th year of the Jiaqing reign during the Qing Dynasty contains records of “Shidui Dui,” commonly known as one of the “Eight Scenic Spots” listed in the old annals. With the passage of time and changes in nature, most of the “Old Eight Scenic Spots” have faded with the times, but “Shidui Dui” remains much the same as ever. The mountain features countless massive rocks, piled high and upright, resembling jade stacked as if covered in winter snow, or clouds frozen from summer skies—like a grand accumulation of treasures and jade, with buildings seemingly soaring into the sky. Among them, stone caves reach up to the heavens, with deep green grottoes hidden within. The main peak’s enormous rock resembles a dragon’s head, bending low then lifting proudly, gazing over the vast land. The dragon’s head faces the nearby Wuling River, as if a jade dragon were spitting out pearls. Though it looks precariously balanced, it is actually incredibly solid, making it a unique wonder of Lianjiang.
