Fubo (wave-subduing) Hill

At the entrance of the Fubo Hill stands an ancient temple bell (a popular place for photos), this bell was made inside Guilin's Fubo Park in Qing Dynasty with a series exquisite inscriptions etched onto its surface. It is said that the bell has a weight of over 1,000kilograms making the task of fixing it within a belfry difficult.

Inside the cave walls are covered in Buddhist carvings; Fubo Hill's famous Thousand Buddhas Cave is nationally renowned from its rich array of ancient Buddhist carvings, they are really beautiful. Some are so old and worn that you can just see the basic shape, however the cave still echoes with the sounds of ancient scholars.
