What to expect at Fubo Hill

An old iron bell cast in 1669 is well preserved at the pavilion next to Pearl-Returning Cave (还珠洞). With a diameter of 1.7 meters, it is 2.5 meters tall and weighs 2,524 kilograms. Look right, and you will find an old iron pot named “Thousand-person Pot” cast in 1663 in Foshan, Guangdong in another pavilion. With a diameter of 1.6 meters, the pot is some 0.67 meter deep.

Sword-Testing Rock stands between the two pavilions. A legend tells that the General Fubo, Ma Yuan negotiated with the intruders in the Pearl-Returning Cave. They promised to retreat based upon the distance of the flying sword created by Ma Yuan. To their surprise, Ma Yuan sent the sword through 3 hills.

At Thousand-Buddha Cave, you will be amazed at hundreds of statues of Buddha carved on the cliff. Most of the statues were exquisitely carved in the late Tang Dynasty (618 – 907). Also, you will see the stone carving of Mi Fu (1051 – 1107), a famous calligrapher and artist in the Northern Song Dynasty (960 – 1127).
