Attractions distribution:

Yundongyan was named Heming Mountain because during the Kaihuang period of the Sui Dynasty (AD 581-600), there was a man who raised cranes and practiced Taoism here. From time to time, the cranes croaked in the mountain, so it was named Heming Mountain. According to local chronicles, there is a stone room on the mountain, and when it is about to rain, white clouds appear. It floats out from the cave; the rain hits the sky, and the white clouds return to the cave, so it is also called "Yundong Rock".
