Now it has become the landmark landscape of Dongshan Island. It is often said that it is a pity to go to southern Fujian instead of Dongshan; It's a pity that we can't reach Dongshan Fengyan when we get to Dongshan. That's true. This pneumatic boulder stands on a steep cliff, 4.37 meters high, 44.47 meters wide, 4.46 meters long and weighs about 200 tons. It has a round top, shaped like a peach, standing on a rock, which lies on the ground and leans towards the sea. The contact surface between the two stones is only 10 square centimeters. The wind blew and the boulder shook gently. If a person lies on his back on a rock with his feet hard, the boulder will shake, but it will not fall down. People who stand under the pneumatic stone in Dongshan have a thrilling feeling and lament that it is a wonder of the world, hence the name "pneumatic stone", and the poem says: "The wind blows a stone and ten thousand horses move." Dongshan pneumatic stone is inscribed by Lu Zhenfei, the governor of Ming Dynasty, in the autumn of Wuzi (1648) with the words "Three loyal ministers of Tongshan: Huang Daozhou, Chen _,".
