The east side of Hunagshan is famous for its grand canyons formed between the peaks. I planned to visit three places: Phoenix Source, Jadeite Valley and Nine Dragon Fall. The first place I visited was Phoenix Source. According to the legend, it was the place where the beloved wife of Emperor Xuanyuan stocked Phoenix. I was immediately attracted by its tranquility and beauty. Surrounded by dense bamboo forest, the crystal mountain stream was happily flowing down the valley. The stream bed was formed by vigorous and lively rocks.
As we climb the stone stairs along the stream, my local tour guide pointed to different rocks and asked me what they look like, and told me the stories behind each unique scenic spot. It was truely an unforgettable trip. (Click the pic to view larger)

What do you think it look like? I think it looks like a crouching cow. My tour guide thought it looked like a cat fish head :)
How about this one? Various answers for this one. Hungary people think it looks like French bread. Sad people think it looks like a coffin, and some people could image there were four beautiful women sleeping side by side.
Aha! Pig Zhubajie is eating watermelon. Pig Zhubajie is a character in the legendary "Journey to the West". Zhubajie had a moderate personality, simple and honest, but he was lazy and greedy and loved food and woman. His weakness was frequently used by the enemy and caused too much trouble for the team during the Journey to the west.

This one (on the right) is more serious. It is the head of a historic character - Chairman Mao!
It's just me:
