The Nujiang Stone Moon is older than Mount Everest!

Over 500 million years ago, an ancient layer of rock formed on the seabed rose from the sea due to crustal movement. It continued to rise and eventually became the Gaoligong Mountains. In Fugong County, Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, there is a protrusion that has been weathered to form a cave about 40 meters wide and 60 meters high. From an aerial perspective, the cave stands tall in the Gaoligong Mountains. The local Lisu people call it "Yahaba", which means "Stone Moon". It is like a "full moon" high in the sky. The Lisu people regard the Stone Moon as a sacred stone. Famous geologist Fei Xuan said: If the Nujiang "Stone Moon" is considered a sister, Mount Everest can only be considered her younger brother, because the Himalayas were formed only about 40 million years ago.
