Immortal Points the Way

At the top of this granite pinnacle is a slender and elongated stone bud (approximately 1.5 meters long and about 0.6 meters in diameter), resembling a jade finger pointing toward the sky, as if guiding the way to immortality, hence the name 'Immortal's Finger Pointing the Way.' It is a pictorial landscape formed by differential weathering of the granite pinnacle.

1. Granite pillars have vertical cracks (joints).

2. The rock pillar experiences gravitational collapse along the cracks (joints), forming the prototype of a finger—the stone bud.

3. Through weathering and erosion, the edges of the stone bud are smoothed, leaving a part that stands upright, resembling a finger.
