Twelve Peaks of Witch Hill

There is a strange cluster of rocks stand between the Purple Sunlight Hill and Rui Rock which is called “Twelve Peaks of Witch Hill”. These rocks were named according to their shape as “Writing Brush Holder”, “Incense Burner”, “Chessboard”, “Elephant's Trunk”, “Jade Bamboo Shoot”, “Resting Turtle”, “Curling Dragon”, “Dancing Crane”, “Singing Phoenix”, “Crouching Tiger”, “Sword Spring” and “Sleeping Ox”. And this cluster of rocks looks like the twelve animals in the Chinese lunar calendar symbolizing the different years in which people are born; therefore it is locally called “Twelve Animal Stones”. There is a rock lying near it in a shape of spoon which is called “Spoon Rock”.
