景(jing)區(qu)是(shi)著名(ming)的(de)(de)(de)“牡(mu)(mu)丹(dan)(dan)之鄉”，每當清(qing)(qing)明前(qian)后，一(yi)片片、一(yi)簇(cu)簇(cu)的(de)(de)(de)開放在妙石(shi)之間，石(shi)與(yu)花相映成趣，美不勝收。此(ci)處的(de)(de)(de)牡(mu)(mu)丹(dan)(dan)與(yu)一(yi)般牡(mu)(mu)丹(dan)(dan)不同的(de)(de)(de)是(shi)，這些(xie)種(zhong)(zhong)植(zhi)的(de)(de)(de)牡(mu)(mu)丹(dan)(dan)不是(shi)用于(yu)觀賞，而是(shi)當地(di)(di)居(ju)民出(chu)于(yu)社會經(jing)濟生活的(de)(de)(de)需要而用于(yu)生產(chan)的(de)(de)(de)牡(mu)(mu)丹(dan)(dan)。西山(shan)牡(mu)(mu)丹(dan)(dan)的(de)(de)(de)種(zhong)(zhong)植(zhi)歷史可(ke)以追溯到唐代以前(qian)，由于(yu)西山(shan)地(di)(di)區(qu)一(yi)直(zhi)以來土地(di)(di)貧瘠、土層較(jiao)薄、土質(zhi)較(jiao)差，因此(ci)很難種(zhong)(zhong)植(zhi)農作(zuo)物，而古代先民為了生存(cun)，在自(zi)然選擇(ze)的(de)(de)(de)狀態下，逐漸(jian)形成了種(zhong)(zhong)植(zhi)牡(mu)(mu)丹(dan)(dan)的(de)(de)(de)傳(chuan)統。牡(mu)(mu)丹(dan)(dan)以根入藥(yao)，名(ming)丹(dan)(dan)皮，藥(yao)用丹(dan)(dan)皮遠近聞(wen)名(ming)。石(shi)林景(jing)區(qu)內(nei)有(you)大(da)小(xiao)溶洞(dong)(dong)(dong)有(you)90多處，“神(shen)仙洞(dong)(dong)(dong)”洞(dong)(dong)(dong)廳寬敞，可(ke)容千人；“海龍洞(dong)(dong)(dong)”一(yi)廊五宮(gong)，洞(dong)(dong)(dong)內(nei)潛流可(ke)蕩槳(jiang)泛舟。景(jing)區(qu)內(nei)山(shan)峰之間有(you)許多清(qing)(qing)泉，山(shan)泉匯成犀牛望的(de)(de)(de)南(nan)陵湖鑲嵌于(yu)峰間如一(yi)面銀鏡(jing)，流翠溢彩。景(jing)區(qu)內(nei)南(nan)山(shan)寺(si)原名(ming)為靈巖(yan)寺(si)，相傳(chuan)為地(di)(di)藏王金喬覺至九華(hua)山(shan)前(qian)來此(ci)而建，聞(wen)名(ming)遐邇(er)。
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。珠簾(lian)(lian)瀑(pu)(pu)布(bu)會隨(sui)著雨季變化而變化，雨季時(shi)，寬(kuan)約5米(mi)瀑(pu)(pu)布(bu)飄(piao)流(liu)而下，聲音(yin)震耳(er)；天晴時(shi)段(duan)，瀑(pu)(pu)布(bu)形(xing)成(cheng)串串水珠落入池中，恰似從(cong)半空中垂掛而下的(de)(de)珠簾(lian)(lian)。故稱(cheng)“珠簾(lian)(lian)瀑(pu)(pu)布(bu)”。雨過(guo)天晴，時(shi)常可見(jian)彩虹(hong)和瀑(pu)(pu)布(bu)交相輝(hui)映的(de)(de)景象出現(xian)，因(yin)此，又稱(cheng)“七(qi)彩珠簾(lian)(lian)”。
“蟾(chan)(chan)蜍(chu)觀天(tian)”一(yi)景，相傳是月宮蟾(chan)(chan)蜍(chu)之(zhi)王(wang)的化身。很(hen)早以(yi)前(qian)，西山(shan)及(ji)江南各(ge)地(di)蚊蟲(chong)特別(bie)多，旱(han)澇災(zai)害非常嚴重，農作物連年欠收(shou)(shou)，百(bai)姓(xing)們被迫四處逃荒。為救助天(tian)下(xia)萬民(min)(min)，月宮蟾(chan)(chan)蜍(chu)王(wang)率領數名(ming)蟾(chan)(chan)蜍(chu)降臨人間(jian)，大吃蚊子(zi)及(ji)各(ge)種害蟲(chong)，其蟾(chan)(chan)蜍(chu)王(wang)因親眼(yan)看(kan)到民(min)(min)間(jian)人們飽受蚊蟲(chong)及(ji)蟲(chong)害疾苦，采取滅蚊蟲(chong)措施(shi)，為防(fang)止蚊子(zi)及(ji)害蟲(chong)死灰(hui)復燃，將自身變成一(yi)座山(shan)靈石，遠(yuan)觀天(tian)空，為民(min)(min)呼風(feng)喚(huan)雨(yu)。從(cong)此(ci)，天(tian)下(xia)風(feng)調雨(yu)順，農業豐收(shou)(shou)，百(bai)姓(xing)安居樂業。

這(zhe)里是(shi)一處四山(shan)凹陷(xian)的天(tian)坑，面積約1.5平(ping)方公(gong)里。該(gai)村(cun)現有孫(sun)氏(shi)居(ju)民(min)800多人，孫(sun)姓占全(quan)村(cun)人口99.5%，據孫(sun)氏(shi)族(zu)譜記載，該(gai)族(zu)為三國時(shi)期(qi)孫(sun)權后裔(yi)。下宕村(cun)如(ru)今依然保留著完好的明清老(lao)宅、石(shi)(shi)片院墻、青石(shi)(shi)池塘(tang)、千年古井等。一年四季也是(shi)風(feng)景如(ru)畫，同時(shi)這(zhe)里也是(shi)丫(ya)山(shan)的八大奇觀之一。
