Forest of the Steles

  [edit this]

Built in 1984 with an area of 600 square meters, the Forest of the Steles is pushed up among underbrush and ancient trees between Duiyue Peak and Zhurong Peak, and it is an important place of interest at Mountain Lingyun. There is a stele at the entrance, on which is carved three characters, “Poem Calligraphy Drawing”, which are written by Deng Xiaoping. The Chinese Characters “Forest of the Steles” and “Chinese Ink Fragrance” are written by Fangyi and Sutong separately. There are 195 sets of stone calligraphy in the steles, and most of them are rubbings from calligraphy carefully stored by the Scenic Spot. Some of them are rare, such as carvings from calligraphies of Su Dongpo, Hang Tingjian, Zhen Banjiao from ancient times and Kang Youwei, Zhaoxi, Guo Moruo, Zhao Puchu, Li Yimang and Guang Shanyue from neoteric and modern times. The epigraphs are in regular script, cursive script, grass style, official script and seal script and are full of lingering cultural charm, which adds to the visitor's interest.

Dongpo Building

  [edit this]

Sitting in the northeast and facing the southwest, Dongpo Building is a two-floor wood building built in Xieshan style. The horizontal tablet “Dongpo Building” was written by Hang Tingjian. The reclining statue of Su Dongpo in the middle of the hall is degage and vivid. On the walls beside the statue there are over 10 carved stone steles, among which the pictures of Dongpo Drawing Plum and Chrysanthemum and Dongpo Liji carved in Daoguang Times are the finest. In front of the building is the Washing-Chinese-ink Pool, and all fish in the pool have black backs, which were reputedly dyed by Chinese ink which was left when Su Dongpo washed his inkstone.

Down Guanyin Temple

  [edit this]

Ascending steps in the Suoluo Gully that is decorated with flourish branches and leaves, there is a small mountain-tour trail which is paved with green stones. There, you can find the sequestered Duiyue Peak. The “Down Guanyin Temple” with heavenward overhanging eaves stands towering and erect, hidden in the cluster of grey pines and incense cedars. Looking down the rivers here, the boats look like floating leaves. Looking far into the distance, the immortal Mt.Emei lies at the end of the earth, while Mountain Gulidui-Wuyou appears to be near at hand. It is not only a super excellent place where the visitors can view elegant mountains and rivers, but it is also a place where they can sip and taste tea and cultivate their morality.

Cliff Tomb Group

  [edit this]

The Cliff tombs are imitation tombs of the popular dwelling houses of people who lived in ancient China. They were a kind of grave that was built by cutting a tomb chamber into the cliff. Early in the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, there were specious records on cliff tombs. When Lu You, a poet in the South Song Dynasty, was supervising and treating Leshan Mountain, he identified the “Cliff Tombs” as “the place where the Taoist priests hid their elixirs in ancient times”. So, the Cliff Tombs of Mountain Leshan were coated in a quiet, mystical, and magic color.

Diecui Hall

  [edit this]

Diecui Hall is located on Yongcui Peak, which is opposite the Lingbao Tower. It is built using a neoteric architectural style with a building area of 1,000 square meters. Because it is surrounded with trees and mountains, it is called Diecui, meaning green accumulation.

The stele “Diecui Hall” was written by Yang Rudai, vice president of C.P.P.C.C. The Buddhist culture show “Sanskrit Music and Buddhist Dance” and video scenes are periodically played in the hall. Visitors can drink tea and rest in the hall to recover from tiredness.
