This stone has steps to go up, about 50/60 meters high, and it takes about half an hour to go up and down.

After visiting this statue of Shilaofu, continue to walk down and enter Shilaofu Village. On the right side of the road in the center of the village, there is a cave with ventilation at both ends and occasional water flow, which is extremely cool in summer and is a must-see attraction in Shilaotou Village.

Next comes the point, the fountain of youth. Why is it called the fountain of youth? Personally, I think it should be that the water keeps flowing all year round, and the water flow has not changed at all because of the seasonal changes. The fountain of youth spews out from a small cave, which is the main drinking water source for villagers to drink a cool and sweet drink.

I have seen the fountain of youth, so I'm going to visit Gucun. Ancient villages have been very popular recently. In fact, the scale of Shilaofu ancient village is not large. On the other hand, it is similar to build ancient villages everywhere in mountainous areas.
