Introduction to Xingwen Global Geopark: Bowang Mountain is one of the four major parks of Xingwen Global Geopark. The auxiliary monument at the mountain gate is a symbol of its status as a world geopark. The monument is 5.9 meters high. The base rock is made of green-brown Bowang Mountain horizontal plain stones, imitating the natural rock shapes of Feiwu Valley. The rocks are carved with golden Bo people rock paintings. The base design naturally integrates the characteristics of the scenic spot and also It reflects the unique and profound cultural heritage of the park. The body of the monument is made of natural reddish-brown sandstone, and is designed with an upright and an inverted cone. The rising sharp corners symbolize the mountain peaks, abstractly reflecting the "strange and dangerous" characteristics of the park; the upper triangular cone is hollowed out and has a hole shape. The park's deep and distinctive cave entrance shape embodies the world's unique "Xingwen-style karst landform". The gradually thinning melted relief effect reflects the "secluded and beautiful" characteristics of the park; the top inlaid is the logo of the World Geopark. On the side of the stele, the lower part is engraved with an introduction to the park, with imitation bamboo patterns as the scroll base, and the upper part has a tapered shape and is engraved with bamboo shoot texture relief, which looks like a reddish-brown bamboo shoot. It reflects the characteristics of the bamboo sea in the park and also symbolizes the park. Development is springing up like mushrooms after a rain. The ground around the stele is paved with the most worshiped totem of the Bo people - the bronze drum "sun emblem" shape, which reflects the rich culture of the Bo people.
