Guojiu Seeks Enlightenment


This granite peak column resembles a reader in a cloak who has had his hair coiled. The landscape is interpreted as Cao Guojiu, a mythological figure in Ancient China, who is reading scriptures on the counter, hence the name. It was formed when the granite peak column was subjected to differential weathering.
