Stone Bell Hill has a quite long history. It was mentioned as a rare geographical phenomenon by Li Daoyuan (a geographer) in historical records of the Northern Wei Period (386-534). As for the rare phenomenon, Li wrote that when the waves splashed on the hill, a quite loud sound just like bells rang was then produced, and this is how the name came into being. When it came to the Northern Song Dynasty, Su Shi, who was a famous litterateur of that time, conducted research about it. He found that the under the hill were numerous caves and stone gaps. It was because of those caves and holes that enabled the bell sound be created. He recorded the truth in his literal work-Shizhongshan Ji (Notes of Stone Bell Hill). As the work passed down through time, the hill has gained much more fame.<BR> <BR> Bold Italic (Your IP address will be recorded in this page's edit history.)
