About Cloud bone

Yungu is located in Keyan Scenic Area, Shaoxing, Zhejiang, and is known as the best stone in the world. It is more than 30 meters high, with a bottom circumference of 4 meters, and the thinnest part is less than 1 meter. The shape is like an upside-down pagoda, and from a distance it looks like a column of smoke rising into the sky, also known as the Furnace Pillar Clear Smoke. It is a wonder that has been quarried since the Sui and Tang Dynasties. The history of quarrying can be traced back to the Three Kingdoms period. On the top of the rock is the word "Yungu" carved in the second year of Guangxu's reign in the Qing Dynasty (1876). The ancient cypresses at the top are green and the old branches are slanting horizontally.
