Elephant Mountain Introduction
The landmark of Xiding. It stands at an altitude of about 1,050 meters. From the Xiding area, it overlooks like a giant elephant, with its head, trunk, and back vividly depicted. According to the local experience, in the past, whenever the weather was good and the sound of roaring came from Elephant Mountain, it indicated that the weather might change for the worse; conversely, when the weather was bad and the roaring sound was heard, it suggested that the weather was about to improve. This phenomenon was due to the loosening of soil and rocks caused by the mountain's geology, making rockfalls easier to roll. Nowadays, since most of the rockfalls have fallen, such occurrences are rare, and some say it is because of the excessive noise from vehicles, making it difficult to hear the sound of falling rocks.
