Stone Drum Hill (Shigushan)
This hill, standing outside the northern gate of Hengyang, is known as the "number one scenic attraction of Hunan." It got its name because there is a two-meter high huge rock shaped like a drum on its summit. The Stone Drum Hill Academy of Classical Learning, which was built here during the Song Dynasty (960-1279), was one of the four most famous classical schools in China at that time. On the northeast slope of the hill there is a cave called Chuling Cave, where many poets and tourists have left their writings on the stone walls.
