隙頂象山
隙頂象山

The landmark of Xiding. It has an altitude of about 1,050 meters. Looking down from the Xiding area, it resembles a giant elephant, with the head, trunk, and back of the elephant vividly depicted. According to local experience, in the past, if the weather was good and one heard a rumbling sound coming from Elephant Mountain, it was a sign that the weather might change for the worse; conversely, if the weather was bad and a rumbling sound was heard, it indicated that the weather was about to improve. This phenomenon was caused by loose geological materials on the mountain, making rockfalls more likely to occur. Nowadays, since rockfalls have become less frequent, this situation hardly happens, and some say it is due to the increased noise from vehicles making it difficult to hear the sound of falling rocks.

Xiangshan Mountain Introduction

The landmark of Xideng. With an elevation of approximately 1,050 meters, it resembles a giant elephant when viewed from the Xideng area, with its head, trunk, and back vividly represented. According to local experiences, in the past, whenever the weather was good and the sound of the elephant mountain was heard rumbling, it was an indication that the weather might change for the worse; conversely, when the weather was bad and the rumbling was heard, the weather would improve. This phenomenon was the result of the geological looseness of the rocks on the mountain, making falling rocks prone to rolling. Nowadays, with fewer falling rocks, such occurrences have become rare, and some say it is also due to the excessive sound from vehicles, making it harder to hear the sound of falling rocks.
