Introduction

Ancient northern minorities carved images on rocks depicting their longing for a better life. These artwork depicts the aesthetics, social customs, and lifestyle of their time. The most representative rock drawing in Helan Mountain is the Sun God Rock Painting, which showcases the ancient human race's worship of the sun. There is a rock painting museum in the scenic area, but it mainly displays replicas of the rock paintings and photos, with only a few original pieces. Walking along the plank road in the scenic area, visitors can reach Helan Waterfall. If time permits, visitors can continue to explore deeper into the area, where the scenery becomes more beautiful.
