Denggan mountain

Denggan mountain is 4 kilometers away from the West Bank of Tianchi Lake, and rises abruptly in the gorge. The main peak is 2718 meters above sea level. Three huge stalagmites, shaped like halberds, pierce the sky, also known as the "top three stones". The legend is that the Queen Mother subdues the demon and subdues the devil. It's a great place to watch the sunset and appreciate the ancient glacial landforms in Tianchi

Myths and Legends:

It is said that when the queen mother came out of yaochi, she saw that Tianchi was surrounded by jagged peaks, the ground tilted to the sky, and the water was black and full of evil. It turned out that the black fish essence was making trouble. The queen mother took off a cloud head embroidered shoe and threw it into the pool to catch the black fish essence. Then the queen mother set up a huge stone on the mountain to the west of Tianchi, and split it into three pieces with a hairpin, forming a balance to lift up the West sky and make the world level. Later, a Taoist held a long pole in the middle of three huge stones and hung a red light on the pole, which was called "Changming lamp". This mountain was called Denggan mountain, and the three huge stones were called "Dingtian three stones".
