Ox Liver and Horse Lungs Gorge
Last Update : 4/3/2008 5:06:43 AM - The 4.5 kilometer-long (2.8 mile-long) gorge derived its name from two oddly shaped rocks. Around the entrance of the Jiuwan Stream to the Yangtze River, on the crag of its northern bank hang several yellow-brown rocks resembling ox livers and horse lungs - strange stalactite growths.
While the ox liver rock remains the same; the horse lung rock lacks its lower part due to a British warship's shelling in the late Qing Dynasty (1644 - 1911).
