Qiansi Rock Cultural Park

The park is located to the east of Shankou Town, surrounded by mountains on three sides and with its entrance facing south. The mountain body has a high vegetation coverage rate.
There are more than thirty landscapes in the park, such as the Chinese Seal Garden, Qiansi Waterfall, Luohan Cliff, Wenshi Ridge, Tianmen, Forest of Steles, and Qiansi Temple Group. The park integrates stone carving myths and legends, praises of stone carvings by famous people of all dynasties, Chinese seal stones and other stone cultures into the natural landscape.

Qiansi Rock: By the roadside is a huge seal knob stone chapter. The fairy carved on the seal knob of the stone chapter is Nüwa. According to legend, before Nüwa mended the sky in ancient times, she smelted 1,000 stones in the alchemy furnace. But only 999 stones were used when mending the sky. She casually threw a multicolored stone here, thus forming Qingtian stone.

Chinese Seal Garden: With Chinese seal culture as the main line, it shows its long history and profoundness. It can be traced back to the ‘Three Seals of the Shang Dynasty’ discovered by Chinese archaeologists earlier. Here, one can see the blooming seal culture with magnificent views today.


Tianmen Ridge: The steep stone steps lead directly to the top of the mountain and are called ‘Tianmen Ridge’. There are 145 steps of steep壁垒 stones with an iron cable protecting the way. At the upper end of the ridge, there is a stone crack that can only be passed by one person and is covered by a stone. It is called ‘Tianmen’, which means reaching straight into the clouds. Inside Tianmen is the Wannian Vine Ravine. The ancient vines are coiled like dragons with different shapes. The intertwined vine dragons cover the entire mountain ravine tightly. Standing in the cave, one cannot see the sky. Only the beautiful singing of mountain birds and the flowing of the dongdong mountain spring can be heard. It seems to enter another cool world.


The opening hours are from 8:30 to 17:00 all year round.
