Dongshan Garden (Daxiangshan Buddha & White Pagoda)
东山园林(大像山大佛寺·白塔)
A hillside garden across the river east of the old town, with a Tang-dynasty rock-carved Buddha at Daxiangshan and a white pagoda on the summit that overlooks the old town and the river bend.
Dongshan Garden lies east of the old town, across the Jialing River, on Daxiangshan and White Pagoda Mountain, a major mountain scenic area around the town. The Tang-dynasty cliff Buddha at Daxiangshan Buddhist Temple is carved into the rock face and surrounded by many niche carvings. It is a nationally protected cultural relic. A mountain path leads up to the White Pagoda, with wide views of the Jialing River wrapping the old town on three sides. Admission follows the scenic area's published prices. It takes about 10 minutes by taxi from the old town across the river. Expect to climb many steps, so wear comfortable shoes.
