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).
