Shibao mountain contains Buddhist rock carvings and temples of over 1300 years old with, amongst others, images of the bodhisattva Guanyin.
The grottoes and temple complex at Shaxi Shibaoshan are one of the best-preserved treasures of ancient Buddhism in China and are a national heritage site. Just a beautiful 90-minute hike from Old Theatre Inn, Shibaoshan grottoes are a stunning complex of temples perched high on a mountain featuring waterfalls, many shrines, and endless forested trails.
The temple complex consists of Boxing Temple, Shizhong Temple, Haiyunju Nunnery, and the stone grottoes. Shaxi Shibaoshan is part of a forested national scenic area, and getting around requires a lot of walking and hiking, some of it quite strenuous.
