Chengde Protesque Peaks and Quaint Crags
With its peculiar landform, Chengde is noted for its odd-shaped peaks and crags. Qingchuifeng (Sledgehammer Peak) is 38-metre-high solitary pinnacle, which stands on a meandering ridge five kilometres to the northeast of Chengde City. The pinnacle, shaped like an inverted sledgehammer, looks ominous, with one end pointing skyward and the other end overlooking a precipitous cliff, and when viewed from afar its solitariness is shown off an advantage against the surrounding peaks tinged red by the glow of a setting sun.
On the summit of a southern mountain, just across a valley, is Hamashi (Flog Crag), which is like a frog with its head rearing in the pose ofmaking a jump. On the eastern bank of the Wulie River is Luohanshan(Arhat Hill), so named because it looks like an arhat sitting meditation on the riverside. On a height south of the city is the sky-piercing Sengmaoshan(Monk's Headgear Peak) , which takes its name from its shape.
Fifteen kilometres in the west are two grotesque pinnacles rising sheer from the ground like two pagodas. Shuangtashan (Twin Pagoda Hill) , quite by coincidence, is crowned with a tumble down pagoda erected in the Liao Dynasty(907-1125). In addition, there are Guangrenling(Broad BenevolenceRidge), Chaoyangdong (Sun-Facing Cave), etc., forming the "Ten Scenic Wonders of Chengde" noted for their sublimity, oddness or tranquillity More interesting is that a lot of legends and myths are attributed to these scenic spots, adding mystery to the landscapes of Chengde.
