The ten most beautiful scenes in Sanqing Mountain include the giant python coming out of the mountain, the oriental goddess, the jade girl's arms, the monkey king offering treasures, the Taoist worshiping the moon, Guanyin appreciating music, Ge Hong's elixir, three dragons going out to sea, Shennong playing with pine trees, and sea lions swallowing moon.
The Giant Python is located in the north of Nanqing Garden and is one of the ten iconic landscapes of Sanqing Mountain. The natural giant granite pillars have formed transverse fractures after hundreds of millions of years of wind, rain, weathering and gravity disintegration. They have a flat top and a slightly thinner neck. They look like a huge python breaking out of the mountain and trying to fly away. The Eastern Goddess was originally called Goddess Peak, and was later called "Goddess Sichun". About 500 meters above the Jinsha Cableway Station in the northeast of Nanqing Garden, it can be said to be the iconic landscape of Sanqing Mountain. It is more than 1180 meters above sea level and 86 meters high.
The Jade Girl is located in Nanqing Garden. The hard stone peaks of this scenic spot present a plump and soft shape, which is rare in the world and shows the wonder of nature. The rock is about 7 meters high. From a distance, it looks like a monkey king sitting on the cliff, holding a treasure in his hand and looking at it intently. It is very naive.
The topography of Sanqing Mountain
The terrain of Sanqing Mountain is steep on the east, south and west sides, and gentle on the north side, with a large terrain height difference. Looking at the whole, the east slope from Jinsha to Yujing Peak, and the west slope from Hengtan, Fenshui to Yujing Peak, are exactly two concave spherical surfaces that are close to each other. Together with the convex spherical surface in the south, they form towering peaks that reach into the clouds. of strange landforms. The east slope is gentler than the west slope, and the south slope is gentler than the east slope.
The rocks that make up the main body of Sanqing Mountain are late Yanshanian granites. The edge phase and transitional phase granite are the main rocks that make up the mountains of Sanqing Mountain. Near the valley bottom, there are mostly medium-coarse-grained porphyry and porphyry-like biotite from the internal phase. Granite, because it is easily weathered and eroded, often forms a slightly gentle terrain. The basic landforms of Sanqing Mountain can be divided into two types: mountains and hills. The mountains can be divided into two sub-categories: mid-mountain and low mountains, and the hills can be divided into two sub-categories: high hills and low hills.
