Wolf, you are totally right. The pots are the stones. All the pins have lived in the stones more than 1,000 years old.

No one pruned them. The shapes were made by the large wind on the high mountain. The wind would cut the small upwind trunks. So they are what they are now.

Rock

The first rock is like a downfallen ancient men's shoe. So it is called that Man Shoe Rock in Basking.
The second top rock is like a pair of ancient women's shoe. So it is called that Woman Shoe Rock in Basking.

The Sea of Snow-white Cloud

We believe that in Chinese tales the Heaven is floating in the sea of cloud. Many Chinese supernatural being became into immortals in these wizardly places.
