As the Year of the Horse approaches, a naturally formed 'Horse Rock' in the Dazhu Mountain Scenic Area, West Coast New Area, Qingdao, has recently become a new online sensation and a popular spot for visitors.

According to Da Xiang News, netizens have shared that the 'Horse Rock' is located near the Shiwuzigou Reservoir in Dazhu Mountain. Its contour, shaped by nature, resembles a proud and quietly standing steed. Especially when set against the winter mountain scenery, it appears even more lifelike and full of charm.

The official WeChat public account of Dazhu Mountain Scenic Area describes that the mountain is home to numerous unique rock formations, including Zhang Liang Paying Homage to His Master, Sacred Turtle Rushing to the Moon, Twin Dolphins Playing with a Pearl, Mountain Frog Croaking, Crocodile Exploring the Sea, Monk and Taoist Playing Chess, Immortal Bridge, Finger Stone, and over ten others.

Coinciding with the upcoming Year of the Horse, this 'Divine Horse Rock' has instantly become the first internet sensation of the new year. Many people brave the cold winds to climb the mountain and 'seek the horse' to bring good luck.
