Huangshan and the Buddhist holy land Mt. Jiuhua, and adjacent to Taiping Lake.It was known as "West Mt. Huangshan" in ancient times thanks to the presence of Mt. Guniujiang, one of the three highest mountains together with Mt. Huangshan and Mt. Qingliangfeng (Peak Qingliang) in southern Anhui.

历史悠久
石台，历史悠久，底蕴深厚。自南梁时期（公元536年）置县，距今已有近1500年历史。1959年因国家兴建陈村水库（太平湖）撤销建制，1965年因国防建设需要复建并易名为石台。保有大量文物古迹，如太平天国时期兴建的古长城、国家重点文物保护单位榉根关古徽道、唐代杉山镇国寺遗址等，是郑本（郑之珍）目连戏的编创地。先后涌现出晚唐诗人杜荀鹤、明代四部尚书毕锵、当代世界语诗人苏阿芒等一批杰出人物。

关于石台最为人熟知的景区牯牛降，也有一段趣味故事。据说，牯牛降古称“西黄山”，其名得于《山海经》中的一段记载，青牛化作巨石，将怪鸟紧紧压在身下，让它永世不得翻身。时间一长，青牛化作了巨石，怪鸟尸骨腐烂成泥。为了纪念这头大青牛，人们便把这座山起名叫“牯牛降”。
Long history
Shitai enjoys a long history and profound cultural heritage.It is 1,500 years old since the county was established in 536 by the Southern Liang Dynasty. The county administration was revoked in 1959 due to the construction of the Chenchun Reservoir (now Taiping Lake), and reestablished in 1965 for the need of national defense construction, with the name changed into Shitai.The county has preserved well a large number of cultural relics and historic sites, including the ancient Great Wall built during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom period, the ancient Jugenguan road under national protection, and the ruins of Zhenguo Temple in Shanshan built in the Tang Dynasty.It is also the place where Zheng Ben (Zheng Zhizhen) created Mulian Opera.In addition, there are many outstanding figures born in the county but famous beyond the county, such as Du Xunhe, a well-known poet in the late Tang Dynasty, Bi Qiang, a prime minister in charge of four national departments in the Ming Dynasty, and Su Amang, a contemporary Esperanto poet.

There is an interesting legend about Guniujiang, which is the most well-known scenic area in Shitai.It is said that Guniujiang was called "West Mt. Huangshan" in ancient times. Its name comes from a paragraph in The Classic of Mountains and Seas: a black bull pressed a vicious monster bird tightly under its body, so that the bird could no longer get up to harm people. Over the time, the black bull turned into a boulder, and the birds rotted into mud. To commemorate the giant black bull, people named the mountain "Guniujiang", which means "the place the bull falls on the bird".

倘若去牯牛降，可一路领略石台的自然资源和奇美风光。路遇奇峰村，这是一个在牯牛降主峰半山中的小区，从村口出发走三个多小时山路可直达牯牛降主峰。若是晴天，阳光漫洒丝丝竹叶，一步一个脚印掠过地上斑驳的光影，脚底软软的，铺满了竹叶。再往上，是当地村民自家种的茶园，名为“四库春雪”。再往上去便是野蛮生长的野草，只能用小腿拨出一条小路。这时候已经离主峰不远了。登顶主峰，山脚下的村落则模糊的隐藏在云海中，宛若仙境。
