Fubo Hill
The
beautiful Fubo Hill, in the northeast of the city,
is well known as the "Wonderland on Wave" with
its exquisite peak rising high and its foot half
in water and half on land.
The east of the cave curbs the river
stream, causing the formation of a deep pool,
so the hill is named Fubo Hill (Wave-Curbing Hill).
At the southern foot of the hill is
a garden full of bamboos, palm trees and flowers,
a quite and interesting place.
There is a stone path on the southern
side of the hill. Half way up the hill is a Sight-Seeing
Terrace from which you can see the Old Man Hill
northwest to it, resembling an old man in the
hood looking up to the south. It is so life-like
that you can even distinguish his brow and beard.
The way from the Sight-Seeing Terrace to the summit
of the hill can be compared with the way to the
West Peak in the Hua Mountain. It is narrow and
steep. Only the brave ones dare to scale the heights
and find the climbing interesting.
At
the foot of the hill is the famous Pearl-Returning
Cave, which is composed of many side-caves, linked
like a labyrinth. A several-meter stalactite column,
thick on top and tapering downwards, hangs all
the way from the ceiling the ground. It is so
strange that no visitors will see it without amazement.
Since the space between the column and the ground
seems to be the result of a sword cut it is named
Sword Testing Stone.
The step beside the Sword Testing
Stone wind their way up to the Thousand Buddha
Cave, in which are more than 200 Buddha statues
made in the Tang Dynasty.
Fubo Hill also famous for its
stone inscriptions.
