The Golden Whip Stream is named just because it always runs past the Golden Whip Rock. This stone peak is 378m high, just resembles a lifted steel whip, directly pointing into the sky, making people watch it with awe. What's more, its stone structure is that of red quartzose sandstone and limestone,which,in the sunshine,illuminates golden lights,and hence the name Golden Whip Rock. It is the highest, steepest and most magnificent stone peak in the scenic area of Zhangjiajie. As people praise: "Everywhere you can see famous mountains and great rivers. Only Golden Whip Rock is the most marvelous of all the marvelous".
There is something more marvelous still. Here,a huge peak is leaning closely onto the left side of the magic Whip. It resembles a powerful eagle, with its head lifted. One of its wings is flapped, ready to soar into the sky, while the other is still mightily half-embracing the Golden Whip Rock.So it is called "The Condor Guarding the Whip", also one of the top sight-seeings in Golden Whip Stream.
Across from the Golden Whip Rock, there is a red 200 meter tall mountain that is angled at 70 degrees, which slightly resembles a drunk that looks like he should fall but just won’t. This attraction is called "
Drunk Luohan" by local people.
