丹鳳朝圣
嵩云山(shan)頂西部,群峰連綿起伏(fu),似只(zhi)碩(shuo)大的(de)鳳(feng)凰展翅向東飛來,因稱丹風朝(chao)陽。又因嵩云山(shan)是佛教(jiao)圣(sheng)(sheng)地,故改名(ming)為丹風朝(chao)圣(sheng)(sheng)。
雙獅迎客
沿嵩云路(lu)往上行至古洞(dong)飛瀑處(chu),路(lu)旁右側山坡上橫兩塊緊挨(ai)在一起(qi)的巨石,形如猛獅,一雄一雌,栩栩如生。

鏡子巖
在山東南當陽面,腰形巨石,巖(yan)(yan)面100余平方米,光潔平滑,有一(yi)層云母,在朝(chao)陽照射下,附近景物從巖(yan)(yan)面反映出來,清晰(xi)可數,虛實(shi)互見,故稱鏡子(zi)巖(yan)(yan)。今巖(yan)(yan)面因長期風(feng)化,已失去(qu)光澤。
