It is a national forest park and a 4A-rated scenic area, named for rock formations on the summit that look like a reclining ox. On the mountain are the Shihu Ancestral Hall, built from stacked stones, a cluster of strange rocks, alpine meadows, and rhododendron woods. On clear days you can look out over rolling mountains and seas of clouds. The scenic area has a cable car and hiking trails, and a round trip takes most of a day. Ticket and cable car prices follow the scenic area's published rates. Weather on the mountain changes quickly, and visibility is low in fog, so take care for your safety.
