Wave Subduing Hill (Fubo 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).
