Mingshan-Jishan mountain range. Jishan, a famous mountain in Chu, was formed by volcanic eruption more than 20 million years ago. There are honeycomb-shaped magmatic rocks on the surface of the earth's crust, which are cooled by magma ejected from the center of the earth. The surface is basalt yellow brown soil. There is also valuable tiger spar buried in the deep layer. Here the green hills are endless, the pools are long, the ancient temples are deep, and the tombs are green. Throughout the year, auspicious clouds shine and fairy air fills the air. As if you were in a fairy class, the wind roared and the dragons sang, and the fog covered the sky in the sunset, which was amazing.
