What to see
Luofu Mountain stands about two kilometres southwest of Sangzao Town (桑枣镇). Its karst landscape includes the twelve Jinping peaks (锦屏十二峰), caves, rock formations, springs and valleys. Feiming Chan Monastery (飞鸣禅院) is another stop highlighted by the Anzhou tourism bureau. At Baishui Lake, twenty-three islands break up the water, with hills surrounding the lake landscape. The bureau’s suggestions include lakeside cycling and visiting Shating Book House (沙汀书屋).
