Nanshan scenic area, together with the Nine-storied Wenfeng Pagoda on the opposite side of the river, is priced as one of eight famous scenic areas. The mountains are sheer and unbelievably beautiful. Going along the zigzag path, cliffs on the left are as steep as it is cut straight through by a knife. Underneath is a dangerous shoal which is called "Nanchu Pool". On the right,they are odd stones and comfortable arbour where travelers could have a rest and overlook the whole landscape of Yingde county.

It is such a wonderland that hundreds of literates travel to and left their exclamations and compliment carvings on cliffs.
