CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- In Linfeng Village, Zhongzhou Sub-district, Zhongxian County, Chongqing Municipality, it was observed that landscape signs were erected, and landscape footpaths full of local flavor were built along the roadside to enter Phoenix Cliff. On both sides of the winding ramp, there were ancient, beautiful, safe and practical guardrails, so that citizens could witness the “Phoenix” in a close way. After preliminary building, Phoenix Cliff has scenic temperament.

Phoenix Cliff is more than 300 meters high. On the top of the Cliff, there are three huge stones of different shapes, which seem to be likely to fall down at any time, making people tremble. However, it is amazing that these three seemingly teetering stones have not been shaken by wind, rain or earthquake disasters.

Seen from a distance, the shape of the three huge stones looks like a phoenix spreading its wings to fly, so people call it “Phoenix Stone”, which is also the origin of the mountain’s name. The reason why the three huge stones never fall down is that there are 12 golden pillars under them.

Standing on the viewing platform, you can see the “phoenix”, Ganjing Lake with bluish waves rippling, and beautiful scenery along banks of Ganjing Lake. (Translated by Liu Hongyan, Fathom Language Limited)
