The Fubo Hill stands solitarily in the northeast of the city, with half
of it in the Li River. On the eastern side of the hill are winding corridors
facing the river, a teahouse and a "Tingtao (Listening to the
Waves)
Pavilion" built along the cliff of the hill. On the west side, a flight of
stone steps leads to the Kuishui Pavilion which is half way up the hill,
and then to the top. At the foot of the hill are the "Pearl-returning Cave" and
"A Thousand Buddha's Cave”. In the "Pearl-returning Cave",
there hangs from the ceiling a rock which nearly touches the
ground. Legend has it that once a general name Fu Po tested his
sword by cutting what was originally a stone pillar and has left a
crevice at the bottom ever since then. In the "One Thousand
Buddha's Cave", there are in fact 200 Buddha's statues. Because of
the beautiful sight and its peculiar caves, the hill is praised highly as
"Fu Po Resort".
