  Gonggu Stone

  Located in the mid-northwest mountain area of the main peak, Gonggu Stone is a highly unique geomorphological landscape, consisting of the "Drum Stone" and the "Gong Stone," which are more than 30 meters apart.

   The exposed surface of the "Drum Stone" is over 30 meters long and about 15 meters wide, flat like the surface of a drum. When visitors step on it, the stone emits a "dong-dong" sound, hence its name "Drum Stone." The "Gong Stone" is a rugged, protruding rock located downhill from the "Drum Stone," tall like a standing elephant. When gently shaken, it produces a "buzzing" sound similar to that of a gong, hence its name "Gong Stone." Below the two stones lies a village named "Tongluogu." According to the *Ganzhou Place Names Record*: "This place has been historically called 'Tongluogu Village' because beside the village there are two large rocks shaped like a gong and a drum, and when struck, they produce sounds like those of a gong and drum—thus the village was named 'Tongluo Village'."
