One of the eight ancient scenes of Datong, 'Huaping Autumn Clean', refers to this mountain. At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, Liao Xi Su praised it 'The mountain is like a painting screen, six curves are flat, the west wind sends autumn unlimitedly. The red path of the mountain is dawn, and the frost leaves are piled up. This scene is separated from the dust, and the point is absolutely berry moss. The reflection of the sky peak enters the building platform, all the floating light is swept away, slightly better than Penglai.'

Among these rocks, the most famous is the cliff fairy frame on the top of the mountain that protrudes half to the left. It is said that in ancient times, a fairy wanted to build a bridge to connect the west and north mountains for cultivation. But the heavens did not allow it, because the real cultivation has no shortcuts, and the bridge is a speculation. Therefore, the stone bridge was not built, but this 'fairy frame' was left, which made later generations have many associations.
