Longlinpianshi Rock is located within the Jinshiyan Temple area of the Elder Peak scenic zone. It is a small honeycomb-like cave, only 1 meter wide and about 10 meters long, with a strip-like distribution. Its distribution pattern resembles the form of a dragon from Chinese mythology, hence the name Longlinpianshi Rock (Dragon Scale Rock). The diameter of individual small caves in Longlinpianshi Rock ranges from 5 to 10 centimeters, with the largest being only 15 centimeters. The average depth of these caves is 3 to 5 centimeters, and sometimes even smaller honeycomb-like caves can be found within larger ones. The formation of this small honeycomb landscape is also due to differential weathering. Weaker rock bodies within the sandstone layers are more susceptible to weathering and erode away, leaving behind small cavities. The most remarkable aspect of Longlinpianshi Rock is not its shape but its unusual color changes. These small caves are habitats for cyanobacteria and green algae, which change color with varying conditions of temperature and humidity, resulting in different colors throughout the seasons.
