| | [edit this] | | This monumental archway is made with three gates and four pillars and was named Small Wudang Mountain. The stone bridge is named the small Wudan Bridge, also called Zhonghe Bridge. In the front, there is a stone bridge; at the middle, there is the monumental archway, and behind, there is a rockery. But it is a pity that today we could not see the old well with the inscription on the forehead: The World of Wu Kingdom Ends and Chu Kingdom Comes. The Wudang Mountain is a famous one at home; it locates at Jun County, Hubei, where was the land of Chu Kingdom in ancient time, and was noted for its beautiful scenery. And here, the inscription indicates that the scenery here is much similar to the Wudang Mountain. The rockery behind the archway is singular and exquisite; the biggest Taihu stone with height of over three meters. Among the rockery, there is a Kwan-yin cave called On-tide Kwan-yin. Yet, it’s a big pity we cannot enjoy the sight of the joss now. | Edit by: ch | |
