In South Cliff, there is a stone sculpture spreading forward which has been the topic of the town. This is Dragon-head Stone, or Dragon-head Perfume as people often mentioned. Dragonhead Perfume faces to the Golden Peak, just as playing religious homage. It's 3 meters long, 0.55 meter wide; in fact, it is two dragons carved together by the ancient workers in all kinds of techniques. On the head of the dragon, there is incense barner; under it is a deep valley; which demonstrates super skills and high scientific nature.
I t is said that these two huge dragons were the rider of Zhenwu, on which he often travel here and there.
Because of its mysterious character and special status, in the past, many people wanted to show their devoutness, and tried to barn the perfume on the head of dragon. That you must move on the narrow back of dragons by kneeling position and then move back by retreating is very dangerous. A little carelessness will kill you, because you will suddenly drop from it and dive into the gorge. There were thousands of people died because of this. So Kangxi Emperor of Qing Dynasty sent an order to forbid this action and to set fence around the dragonhead. |  |
