Is Giant Stone Mountain Worth Visiting? Travel Guide to Giant Stone Mountain
The scenic area is famous for its Five Wonders: Dragon Mountain, Phoenix Water, Divine Rocks, Fantastic Caves and Wild White Magnolias.
Vast bamboo forests stretch like an ocean, pine winds roar like surging waves, and maple leaves blaze brighter than fire. The mountain is blanketed with wild white magnolias, a rare sight unique to East China and scarcely seen across the whole country. Today, white magnolias have become a shining symbol of Giant Stone Mountain. The grand Wild Magnolia Festival has been held for two consecutive years, and the brand influence of its wild white magnolias is spreading nationwide.
This beautiful sacred land is not only home to the renowned Five Wonders of Dragon Mountain and Phoenix Water celebrated across the Jianghuai region, but also the birthplace of Yan Fengying, a master of Huangmei Opera. It is also the origin of the legend of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl.
The Five Delicacies of the area — Dragon Mountain Bandit Chicken, Dragon & Phoenix Twin White Blooms, Caizi Lake Fish Head, Dragon Mountain Top Scholar Pastry, and Luoling Wonton — combine natural original flavors with local farmhouse dishes, deeply favored by tourists.
