Erratic
The huge stone is 12.0m high, 7.5m long and 1.5 - 2.5m wide, with 210 cubic meters in volume and 544 tons in weight.
Te rock platform supporting the erratic is 12.0 - 15.0m long and 8.0 - 10.0m wide, both of them are lithologically o medium-fine-grained porphyritic granite, but they are isolated from distinctly in between. The upper stone seems come from the far away the sky and is so called Erratic.
Tortoise Rock
It looks like a huge tortoise in the far site. In Chinese culture the tortoise is the symbolization of long life.
