Parrot Rock, also called Bird Rock, is a huge parrot-shaped rock which, weighing dozens of tons, waggles in the wind but still manages to stay steady on the mountaintop. There is also Wuchao Well, under the main peak of Wuchao Mountain, which between 11 p.m. and 1 a.m. gushes like tides and sounds like thunder.
