The Peak Flying from Afar is a 209 meters limestone peak, which was said to fly over from India and set here. An interesting legend goes that, in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, an India monk, Huili visited the hill and noticed it looked exactly the one in his own country; Huili insisted that the peak had flown over from India and set here. Near the peak is a cave, on its slope and inside the cave are more than 300 stone Buddhas carved during the period of the Five Dynasties to the Yuan Dynasty. The stone figures appear in a variety of poses, standing, squatting, sitting and sleeping. They are national cultural heritages which are under the protection of the national government.
