Taoist Priest Worships the Moon

 

This granite peak column, 30m high and 10m wide, resembles a Taoist priest facing the firmament, sitting solemnly in an attempt to become enlightened. Therefore, it is named “Taoist Priest Worships the Moon”. The granite underwent gravitational collapse along its vertical fractures (joints) and was subjected to subsequent differential and spheroidal weathering.
