Nujiang Gorge Tour (3) - Stone Moon.
The Stone Moon in Nujiang Gorge is a natural wonder located in Shiyueliang Township, Fugong County, Nujiang Prefecture. On the top of a mountain in the Gaoligong Mountains on the west bank of the Nujiang River, there is a large round cave with an altitude of over 3,200 meters. The blue sky and white clouds can be seen through the cave, and on a clear day, the white clouds behind the cave look like a bright moon, hence the name.
The Stone Moon is easy to see from afar but difficult to see up close. It can be seen from many places along the G219 National Highway in Shiyueliang Township. Getting close to the Stone Moon Mountain is not easy. First, drive across the suspension bridge and then drive up the winding mountain road for about half an hour. You need good driving skills and courage, as many of the sharp turns are smaller than the turning radius of a car, so you need to reverse the car before turning.
The end of the road is a mountain pass halfway up the mountain, with a few houses on one side and a row of climbers' cars parked on the side of the road. It is already far above the Nujiang River, but the Stone Moon is still not visible. There is a stone staircase leading to the Stone Moon. According to others, it takes four hours to reach the Stone Moon on foot. It was already past 2 pm, and we walked for two hours without seeing the Stone Moon, so we had to give up, or we wouldn't be able to get down the mountain before dark.

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.
