Wangfu Rock

 

There are two human-shaped rocks stand on the hill, one on the top is husband and the other on the slope, looking like a woman yearning for her husband, is wife.

Legend goes that they used to be a good couple engaging in ferriage. Once, the husband was asked to ship goods for a cunning merchant from Wuchow to Guilin. Provided with limited food by the merchant, the family set out. Due to the bad weather, the boat was stranded in a shallow. All possible ways had been tried but in vain, and with the unexpected delay, all the food was used up. Finally, they climbed up the hilltop and wished that the passing boats could help them. Without result, they turned into the rocks in despair.

Accordingly, people call the man-like rock on the hilltop "Immortal Rock", and the other on the slope in the figure of a woman with child on back "Yearning-for-Husband's-Return Rock."
