Subduing Hill
Wave
Subduing Hill has the Xinxi Marquis Temple
built during the Tang Dynasty (618-907).
The title of Xinxi Marquis was given to
Fubo General Ma Yuan, so the name of the
hill. Half of the graceful peak is in the
river and the other half on land. During
flood season turbulent currents lash the
hill rocks. On top of the hill one will
see an exquisite scenery like a traditional
Chinese painting.
Inside the "Return the Pearl"
Cave, also known as Fubo Cave, there are
the "Try the Sword" Rock, the
1,000-Buddha Crag (Buddha images carved
on stone). Among the best carvings is a
self-portrait of Mi Fu, a famous painter
of the Song Dynasty (960-1279).
