Narrative

The highest point of Song Shan is 122 meters above sea level. The west part of the mountain lies near Shennong Bay, and the east valley of the mountain has a large quantity of accumulated snow. On the top of the mountain, decomposed rocks are exposed to the atmosphere. Feicui Bandao can be clearly seen across the bay when you have a sight to the west on the top of the mountain. It was named when surveying and mapping in 1991.
