At the bottom, there are 11 groups of thick logs side by side, which is a tourist symbol of Dingxi area.

2. Lianfeng Mountain: A forest park located 34 kilometers southeast of Weiyuan County, named after Jiu Feng, which looks like a lotus flower. It is also commonly known as Malu Mountain because of the presence of red deer in the mountains. There are nine steep peaks in the scenic area, such as Dashan, Ertai, Santai, Sitai, Wutai, Houwutai, Huangdong, Sakyamuni and Laojun Mountain.

3. shouyangshan: shouyangshan and Lianfeng Mountain echo each other from a distance, which is located 3 kilometers southeast of Weiyuan County. It is named shouyangshan because it ranks first among the peaks and the sun shines first. At the end of Shang Dynasty and the beginning of Zhou Dynasty, Boyi and Shu Qi, the two emperors of the solitary bamboo kingdom, lived in seclusion in shouyangshan because of mutual surrender of the throne and shameful eating of Zhou Su, and they ate Wei until they starved to death here, so shouyangshan became famous all over the world.

The cliffs on both sides of the gorge are steep, with strange rocks and phosphorus. The bottom of the valley is clean and lush, and it looks up at the blue sky, with a crack in the middle, just like a board crack opened by a big saw.

5. Taibai Mountain: It is located 25 kilometers southwest of Weiyuan County and 15 kilometers away from Lanzhou, the provincial capital. According to legend, Taibai Venus practices enlightenment here, hence its name.
