Fucang Mountain, a natural stonehenge.

  Fucang Mountain is located in the northwest corner of Guiyang County, Chenzhou City, Hunan Province. The entire mountain is majestic and unique, with a towering body and a peak elevation of 1,420 meters. Unlike other famous mountains, Fucang Mountain is known for its peculiar rocks and giant stones at the top, forming a natural stonehenge that is awe-inspiring. Legend has it that the giant stones on the mountain were left behind by Nuwa when she mended the sky, used to support the people, hence the name Fucang Mountain. Its main attractions include:           1. Three-tiered Tower. The Three-tiered Tower is formed by three rows of natural stones weighing tens of tons, with a small base and a large top, seemingly precarious but standing firm for thousands of years. Each row of stacked stones consists of three huge stones, forming three rows of nine stones in total. The first two rows of stones support each other, while the third row stands out in the air, suspended but not falling, which is amazing.          2. Tuan Mountain Stone. This is a group of giant stones at the top of the mountain, steep and difficult to climb, but there is a flat place at the top for sitting and lying. A temple called Nuwa Temple is built on the top of the mountain, relying on Tuan Mountain Stone. The entire temple is made of stone, stone bricks, stone walls, stone beams... Unfortunately, it has partially collapsed.          3. Fucang Stone Drum. There are two giant stones at the top of the mountain, shaped like drums, as if commanding the world.           4. Fucang Cliff. Fucang Cliff is right in front of Fucang Mountain Temple, standing thousands of feet high and very steep.            5. Tongling Stone. Its shape resembles the Tongling Stone in the opening of Dream of the Red Chamber. It stands alone and steep, weathered by time.         6. King Snake vs. Giant Python. Below is the king snake looking around, above is the giant python poking its head, a battle is about to break out.         7. Two Heroes Competing, a name I gave. Two giant stones stand side by side at the top of the mountain, looking down on the heroes.         8. Pigsy Carrying His Wife, also named by me. That giant stone really looks like Pigsy, with a round pig head, big pig ears, and an upturned pig mouth, truly lifelike. Guiyang Fucang Mountain
