景區(qu)是(shi)(shi)著名(ming)的(de)(de)(de)“牡(mu)丹(dan)(dan)之鄉”，每(mei)當清明前(qian)(qian)后，一片(pian)(pian)片(pian)(pian)、一簇(cu)簇(cu)的(de)(de)(de)開放在妙石(shi)之間(jian)，石(shi)與花相(xiang)映成(cheng)趣，美(mei)不勝收。此(ci)處(chu)的(de)(de)(de)牡(mu)丹(dan)(dan)與一般牡(mu)丹(dan)(dan)不同的(de)(de)(de)是(shi)(shi)，這(zhe)些種植的(de)(de)(de)牡(mu)丹(dan)(dan)不是(shi)(shi)用(yong)于(yu)觀賞，而(er)是(shi)(shi)當地(di)居民出(chu)于(yu)社(she)會(hui)經濟生(sheng)活的(de)(de)(de)需要而(er)用(yong)于(yu)生(sheng)產(chan)的(de)(de)(de)牡(mu)丹(dan)(dan)。西山牡(mu)丹(dan)(dan)的(de)(de)(de)種植歷(li)史可(ke)以追溯到(dao)唐代以前(qian)(qian)，由于(yu)西山地(di)區(qu)一直以來土地(di)貧瘠(ji)、土層(ceng)較薄(bo)、土質較差，因此(ci)很難種植農作物，而(er)古代先民為了生(sheng)存(cun)，在自然選(xuan)擇的(de)(de)(de)狀態下，逐漸形成(cheng)了種植牡(mu)丹(dan)(dan)的(de)(de)(de)傳統(tong)。牡(mu)丹(dan)(dan)以根入藥，名(ming)丹(dan)(dan)皮(pi)，藥用(yong)丹(dan)(dan)皮(pi)遠近聞名(ming)。石(shi)林景區(qu)內(nei)有大小(xiao)溶洞(dong)(dong)有90多(duo)處(chu)，“神仙洞(dong)(dong)”洞(dong)(dong)廳寬敞，可(ke)容(rong)千(qian)人；“海(hai)龍洞(dong)(dong)”一廊五(wu)宮，洞(dong)(dong)內(nei)潛流可(ke)蕩槳(jiang)泛(fan)舟(zhou)。景區(qu)內(nei)山峰之間(jian)有許多(duo)清泉，山泉匯成(cheng)犀牛(niu)望的(de)(de)(de)南(nan)陵湖鑲嵌于(yu)峰間(jian)如一面銀鏡(jing)，流翠溢彩。景區(qu)內(nei)南(nan)山寺原名(ming)為靈巖寺，相(xiang)傳為地(di)藏(zang)王金喬(qiao)覺(jue)至九(jiu)華山前(qian)(qian)來此(ci)而(er)建(jian)，聞名(ming)遐邇。
珠簾瀑布位于九龍峽谷之中。瀑布瀑高約40米，寬12米，水源來自九龍洞。其無規則、高低不平、寬窄不一的巨壁，據有關專家考證，是由數千年因水流形成的蓋華。珠(zhu)(zhu)簾(lian)(lian)瀑布(bu)會隨(sui)著雨(yu)(yu)季(ji)變化而(er)變化，雨(yu)(yu)季(ji)時，寬約5米瀑布(bu)飄流而(er)下(xia)，聲音震耳；天晴(qing)時段，瀑布(bu)形(xing)成串串水珠(zhu)(zhu)落入(ru)池中(zhong)，恰似從半空中(zhong)垂掛而(er)下(xia)的(de)珠(zhu)(zhu)簾(lian)(lian)。故(gu)稱(cheng)“珠(zhu)(zhu)簾(lian)(lian)瀑布(bu)”。雨(yu)(yu)過天晴(qing)，時常(chang)可見彩(cai)虹和瀑布(bu)交相輝映的(de)景(jing)象出現，因此，又稱(cheng)“七彩(cai)珠(zhu)(zhu)簾(lian)(lian)”。
“蟾(chan)(chan)蜍(chu)(chu)觀(guan)天”一景，相傳是月宮蟾(chan)(chan)蜍(chu)(chu)之王的化(hua)身。很(hen)早以前，西山及江南(nan)各地蚊(wen)蟲(chong)特別多，旱澇災害(hai)(hai)非常嚴重，農作物連(lian)年欠收，百姓(xing)(xing)們被迫四(si)處逃(tao)荒。為救助天下萬民(min)，月宮蟾(chan)(chan)蜍(chu)(chu)王率領數名蟾(chan)(chan)蜍(chu)(chu)降臨人間，大吃蚊(wen)子及各種害(hai)(hai)蟲(chong)，其(qi)蟾(chan)(chan)蜍(chu)(chu)王因親眼看到民(min)間人們飽受蚊(wen)蟲(chong)及蟲(chong)害(hai)(hai)疾(ji)苦，采取滅蚊(wen)蟲(chong)措施(shi)，為防止蚊(wen)子及害(hai)(hai)蟲(chong)死(si)灰復燃，將(jiang)自(zi)身變(bian)成一座山靈(ling)石，遠(yuan)觀(guan)天空，為民(min)呼風(feng)喚雨。從(cong)此，天下風(feng)調雨順，農業豐收，百姓(xing)(xing)安(an)居樂(le)業。
