Noteworthy stones
Although Fenghuang Mountain is not a very tall mountain, it has lush vegetation and is celebrated for its remarkable stones. One natural boulder is known as the "nodding oriole" (莺石点头) as it resembles an oriole's mouth. The stone's name was recorded by the 1676 jinshi Wen Chaoling (文超灵), and the stone is inscribed with verses written by a number of famous people. In addition, to the right of Fengyan Temple are two boulders folded together like clasped hands, known as the "clasped hands stones" (合掌石). In the crack between the two boulders is an inscription: "Phoenix feathers transform into a dragon" (凤毛神化度云龙). According to legend, on the cliff there is also a trace of the last Song emperor Zhao Bing's dragon robe, and it was therefore named the "cliff of the hanging dragon robe" (龙袍挂壁).[2][4][5]
