Da Du Rock, named for its resemblance to a large-bellied immortal, is connected to Xiao Chi Bi and neighbors Swan Egg Rock, with Yu Zeng Rock facing across the stream. It is just a few steps away from He Zhang Rock, featuring a massive rock with a bulging belly resembling a drum. In case of rain, the rock appears as if it is wearing a raincoat, hence the alternative name ‘Raincoat Rock’, facing Yu Zeng Rock across the bank. A folk tale narrates that ‘Yu Zeng’ was a vessel for providing meals to the poor. One gluttonous individual, overindulging to the point of satiation, waded across the water and swelled to death on the other side, thus becoming ‘Da Du Rock’. Open all year round, accessible 24/7.
