Mount Chishi (Chinese: 叱石山; pinyin: Chìshí Shān) is a mountain located in Duruan Town, Pengjiang District of Jiangmen, Guangdong, China,[1] with a height of 380 metres (1,250 ft) above sea level.[2][3]
The name of Mount Chishi is cited from the Chinese idiom "叱石成羊", meaning mysterious things. It was named by the Great Minister of War of Ming dynasty (1368-1644) Huang Gongfu (黄公辅) when he climbed the mountain.[2]
