Lingyan Mountain is named "Lingyan Mountain" because there are many strange stones shaped like Ganoderma lucidum. The stone on the mountain is a famous handicraft in Suzhou, and it is also the raw material for making inkstone platform, so it is also called "inkstone mountain". The mountain is not high and the range is not very wide, only 2.3 kilometers long and 1.2 kilometers wide. In the eyes of mountain climbers, it is not worth a visit.
