Star Picking Platform

At the east end of Huangshizhaiding, a ridge of about 100 meters stretches out. At the end of the ridge, there is an observation deck composed of two stacked sandstones. The base rock covers an area of ??about 20 square meters and is about 5 meters high; the rock stacked on it is 10 meters in length, and the top is a platform with a diameter of about 5 meters, surrounded by iron fences, and an ancient pine like an umbrella stands on it. It faces the deep valley below, and reaches the sky above. Standing on the stage, white clouds are floating above your head, and there are deep valleys and green peaks at your feet. On a rainy day, clouds and mist fill the air, and the surrounding peaks change endlessly. When the bright moon is in the sky, standing on the platform, the sky is full of stars, as if you can reach out and pick them. On November 28, 1993, Comrade Zhang Jinfu, then State Councilor and Director of the State Economic Commission, couldn’t wait to climb up this stone platform when there were still a few stars in the sky early that morning. He was convinced that there were thousands of stone peaks under his feet. He recited a poem and said: "Thousands of peaks are beautiful, thousands of trees are covered with green onions, and the beauty is countless. Although it is not a great place, it is not like the human world. It is not an exaggeration to use this metaphor." Name it. On the east edge of Huangshizhai, there is an arc-shaped observation platform that projects outwards and is half suspended in the air. Because it is located at an extremely high position and faces a hundred-foot abyss, it is named Star-Zhaing Platform. The stage can accommodate more than 10 people. Standing on the high platform and surrounded by surroundings, you can see the wind and clouds rolling, the forests and springs rushing, the strange peaks and rocks coming into your eyes, the distant water and the close scenery at a glance.

Wuzhi Peak

"Looking horizontally, it looks like a ridge and a sad peak." Let's look at the mountain peaks seen from the star-catching platform from another angle.

The locals say this is the finger of Tathagata Buddha, and it is called Five Finger Peak.

The remaining piers of the overpass

On the northwest cliff of Huangshi Village, six oval stone pillars with a height of more than 200 meters are lined up in a north-south direction between Huangshi Village and Yuanjiajie.

The two middle piers are slightly higher, and the two sides gradually lower. The tops of each column can be connected to form an arc, full of momentum, like a raging river, with bridge piers falling and appearing. When the sun rises in the east and rains in the west, it will look like a gorgeous and magnificent rainbow flying north and south, forming a double-beautiful spectacle with the bridge piers. To the left of Heicongnao, in the deep valley between Huangshizhai and Yuanjiajie, six flat-top rock peaks hundreds of meters high stand side by side, like a row of bridge piers with their bridge decks removed, and like the Monkey King once The Tathagata Buddha who has hit a wall is the Five-Finger Immortal Mountain.
