Fubo Hill (Wave
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).
