Stone Bell Mountain, Hukou, Jiangxi 江西湖口石钟山
Stone Bell Mountain (Shizhongshan) rises at the edge of Hukou town in Jiangxi, exactly where Poyang Lake flows into the Yangtze, and is made up of an upper and a lower hill. At their foot are many caves and clefts in the rock, and when the waves strike them they ring like a bell, which gave the mountain its name; the Song writer Su Shi took a small boat to the foot of the cliffs one night to find out why, and wrote his Record of Stone Bell Mountain. Pavilions cling to the cliffs, with a view of the line where the muddy Yangtze meets the clearer water of the lake.
