Caishi Scenic Area & Caishiji Rock
采石风景区·采石矶
The first of the Three Yangtze Promontories. Cuiluo Mountain stands above the river, and the Santai Pavilion, Sanyuan Cave and Zhuoyuetai link together as a Li Bai heritage route.
Caishiji lies in southwest Maanshan, on the riverside of Cuiluo Mountain. Together with Yanzi Ji in Nanjing and Chenglingji in Yueyang, it is known as one of the Three Yangtze Promontories. It has been a strategic river defense point since ancient times, and legend says that Li Bai drowned while drunkenly trying to catch the moon's reflection here. The scenic area includes the Santai Pavilion (for climbing and looking over the Yangtze), the riverside Sanyuan Cave, Li Bai's cenotaph, the Taibai Pavilion, and the Lin Sanzhi Art Museum. A full tour takes about three hours on foot. It is a paid attraction, and the official ticket price applies. There are many steps on the mountain trails, and the stone steps by Sanyuan Cave are steep.
