Fubo Hill
伏波山
A lone peak on the Li River, half of it jutting into the water, with the Sword-Testing Stone, Huanzhu Cave, and Thousand Buddha Cliff carvings, and city and river views from the top.
Fubo Hill rises as a solitary peak on the west bank of the Li River, with half of it extending into the water. Legend says it was named after General Ma Yuan of the Eastern Han dynasty, who passed through here on his southern campaign. At the foot of the hill, inside Huanzhu Cave, is the “Sword-Testing Stone,” a stone pillar hanging almost to the water. The cave and the nearby Thousand Buddha Cliff preserve Tang and Song Buddhist statues and cliff carvings. The summit viewing platform overlooks the Li River, Zizhou, and the city. Admission is around several dozen yuan (confirm on site). A visit takes about 1 hour. It is a 10-minute walk from Diecai Hill and can be combined with Jingjiang Prince City on the same day.
