Dongshan Island Tourism

Dongshan pneumatic stone is located on the cliff at the east gate of Dongshan ancient city. It is 4.37 meters high, 4.57 meters wide, 4.69 meters long and weighs about 200 tons. Top round, shaped like a peach, the wind blows the stone, hence the name "pneumatic stone". However, it survived typhoons and earthquakes, and is known as "the first stone in the world". Standing on a rock lying on the ground and facing the sea, the contact surface is only a dozen square centimeters. The wind blew and the boulder shook gently. If people lie on their backs and push up with their feet, the boulder will shake, but it will not fall down, and it is known as "the first stone in the world".

Celebrities in the past dynasties sang a lot about pneumatic stones, such as Wen Sanjun's poem in the Ming Dynasty: "Stone is a beautiful space, and it is not the wind that rocks it." The cloud root leads directly to the pagoda, and the moon pavilion is as small as a ladder. "

On this tragic stage, people saw a shocking scene: hundreds of women who lost their husbands in the military disaster came to the seaside in droves, burning incense and sprinkling wine on the east bank of the strait in the depths of the sea of clouds, not knowing whether their loved ones were dead or alive, so they could only bid farewell. How many times, they sobbed and called for their husbands, only to hear the sound of the waves echoing; How many times, they looked forward to returning to the ship with tears in their eyes, but there were no sails, only clouds.
