On the north of Yiting Town, a rock cliff stands on the flat ground just like a lion squatting on his heels and facing to the north. A Buddha of 1.6m of height and 400-odd kg is placed at the “mouth of the lion”. On the traditional Double Ninth Festival, Tongshan Rock turns to be most excited with tourists and pilgrims.
    The head of the lion faces upward with its mouth open 30 meters wide and 18 meters deep. People built there temples from the front to the back in the mouth as early as in Nansong Dynasty. Pity this lion now turns into a lying lion with several damages through the long history.
    To meet the demands of tourism, in the eighties last century, people rebuilt” Daxiong” and “Hugong” two temples in the mouth of the lion. They also built a pavilion and another temple and placed in it a Buddha of 1.6 m high and 400 kg heavyt presented by Burma as a gift.
