Passing Transcendental Bridge to the west, there is a peak like a fan, which is called Fan-shaped Cliff. It is said that Red Eyebrows Army, the armed forces of a peasant uprising in the last years of the West Han Dynasty, once pitched a camp in a place nearby. Fan-shaped Cliff was the watching platform for Red Eyebrows Army. To the north of the cliff, there stands Ancient Bottle Cliff because the cliff is like an ancient bottle. To the north even further, there is a peak like an ox horn, which is Dragon Horn Peak, one of the 72 well-known peaks of Mount Taishan. To the east from the peak, there is a peak with a column-like rock in the middle called Nine Women’s Stockades in the ancient times. To the west stands Aolai Peak, the tallest and biggest peak of West Stream of Mount Taishan. Before the pass between Aolai Peak and Fan-shaped Cliff, there is Yuanshitianzun Temple (Temple of the Supreme Lord in Taoism) built in the Ming Dynasty.
