The Mingjiang River, with its ancient sentiments, rolls from the upper reaches, bypasses Hecheng, flows quietly westward in a circuitous way, and merges into the Zuojiang River in Longzhou. The spiritual Mingjiang River nourishes the green mountains on both sides of the river and nurtures the ancient splendid culture. The industrious ancestors used their wisdom and courage to leave many rock paintings on the steep cliffs on the narrow bank of the Mingjiang River. The Huashan murals are a shining pearl in this ancient culture.

The towering Huashan Mountain stands on the north bank of the lower reaches of the Mingjiang River in Ningming County on the southern border of the motherland. Nature has given her a unique figure: a peak of more than 300 meters rises from the river. Standing high against the sky, the riverside facade seems to have been cut from head to toe by a magic sword, forming a huge cliff. The ancestors of the Zhuang nationality painted 1,380 images of different sizes and shapes on this cliff, forming a mural more than 200 meters long and 40 meters high. Looking across the river, the rough and simple image composed of dense vermilion lines seems like balls of burning fire, beating and galloping on the silver-gray stone screen. The entire mural is majestic, mysterious, and spectacular. It complements the surrounding green mountains and trees and the clear blue water of the Mingjiang River, which is breathtaking.

What has always puzzled many archaeological experts at home and abroad is why the seemingly ordinary vermilion lines still have the same color after more than two thousand years? And on that cliff where there is no place for birds to stay, how could the ancients go up there and paint without leaving any traces of their knives and axes? In order to solve these mysteries, experts and scholars are still coming to investigate. Many tourists from home and abroad also come here to enjoy the beauty of Huashan Mountain.
