Lion's Mouth Pass

Lion's Mouth Pass stands to the west of Old Opening Temple (Kaishan Old Hall) with the rising rock, looking like the head of a lion with ears and eyes. The site is thereby named as Lion Rock. The cave in the middle of the rock mimics the mouth of a lion. This is why this scenic spot has the name of “Grand Pass” or “Dead Pass”. In the Yuan Dynasty, senior monk Gaofeng sat in meditation here to express his loyalty to Buddhism.
