The Green-Hued Stone Piles Soar High

　　The Green-Hued Stone Piles Soar High, located to the north of the county town, less than a mile across the Yellow River, is known as the Little Jishi Mountain or Tangshu Mountain. With steep and precipitous terrain, rugged cliffs rising sharply, towering high into the clouds. The mountain looks as if it were an artificial rockery built from massive stones, seemingly ready to collapse yet never falling. The Little Jishi Mountain stands majestically on both sides of the Yellow River canyon, exuding an awe-inspiring and magnificent presence. Many poets have been inspired to sing its praises with verses such as: “The Green-Hued Stone Piles Soar High — an endless beauty; after rain, the blue sky turns even more stunning.” At the foot of Jishi Mountain lies the Green Wave Beach Oasis, cradling the Yellow River which flows gently eastward like a sash. Beneath the Red Earth Mountain, clusters of green trees and flowing streams embrace the Sala Farmstead — that is the picturesque Qingshui Bay. A poem reads:

　　The green-clad peaks stand miles away, vying in height toward the ninth heaven;

　　Cliffside stone treasures look like scrolls, while crane-robed immortals still come and go.

　　A poem on the Green Wave Beach Oasis:

　　Flowers and trees grow thick at Green Wave Beach, yet can scarce veil the Jishi peaks;

　　Pheasants fly and birds sing in fragrant grass, as the Yellow River winds east like a sash.

　　Joyful songs and laughter drift to the ear, yet no echo comes back from the green wilds;

　　Such prosperous scenes and beauty intoxicate, in dreams of colorful splendor none wish to return.
