Ma’er Mountain is the midpoint of three mountain ranges. One of the lower ridges extends from the right side (southeast direction) of Changgouyu Valley. The nearby section of the northeast ridge is relatively steep. The unnamed peak on the northwest ridge is about 30 meters higher than Ma’er Mountain. On the southeast side of the southeast ridge, the terrain and landforms are complex, with many cliffs, ice waterfalls, and landslides.


The northwest ridge is the main ridge. Not far from a small pine forest in the middle and on its south side are two stone statues engraved on the ridge rocks: one civil and one military, sitting in full posture, slightly damaged, about half a meter square. However, it is unknown which dynasty the stone statues are relics from. It is said that the Baiyun Pavilion was built here. However, except for a small flat area with the stone statues, there are no traces of the Baiyun Pavilion.


There are also two lines of engraved characters on the stone wall next to the civil and military stone statues, recording that in the first year of Tianqi in the Ming Dynasty, Monk Benxin asked stonemason Li Jian to build a stone statue of the local god here. However, the stone statue of the local god is also gone.



Opening hours: Open from 08:00 to 18:00 from January 1st to December 31st.
