has shrines for idols or ancestral tablets, clear spring, and<br />
there are old monarch’s halls cavern the hole, Toad stone,<br />
Imperial Tablet Pavilion, and clubmoss. This hole gains the<br />
name because Lu Tung-pin practiced austerities here and became<br />
immortal according to legend.<br />

Huguo Temple”. The Temple was built by an emperor who<br />

a bird’s eye view<br />
of the millions<br />
of steep wall-like<br />
stones and hear<br />
the surfing of wind<br />
in the pine forest<br />
mingled with roaring<br />
of the waterfalls in the<br />
Stone Gate Ravine.<br />
The Suspension Bridge of Stone-Gorge valley<br />
The Bridge betweenthe two ravines seems a line of artificial<br />
rainbow from two mountains, as it was crafed by the<br />
invisible hands of gods. Standing on the bridge, people can<br />
look far into the distance.<br />
The Museum<br />
The museum, also called Lulin Villa and Lulin One, is<br />
Mao Tse-tung former residence. The villa combines the Chinese<br />
and Western architectural style harmoniously. It was<br />

pottery, Porcelain, calligraphy and painting, etc. Among<br />
them, a painting of Xu conglong (a Qing Danasty painter)<br />
called “Five Hundred Buddists” is the most valuable.<br />
Five Old Peaks<br />
Five olds peaks exist side by side, like five old men chatting<br />
each other. The famous Tang Dynasty poet Libai left us<br />
poem about the beautiful scenery here. There are five little<br />
peaks coming in every shape before the peak, and tourist can<br />
enjoy stone engraving of rock on the peak, and yingke pines<br />
