Distribution of scenic spots

"Enjoy the flowers like snow in spring, taste the fruits like honey in summer, visit the old forest of ancient Buddhas in autumn, and taste the branches of jade trees in winter.". These four words highly sum up the landscape of Mount falai. As a tourist attraction, Folai mountain is mainly composed of four scenic spots: shiyanzi scenic spot, "Folin three pools" scenic spot, Shuikou scenic spot and Foding scenic spot.

The second scenic spot is "fo Lin San Tan". The scenic spot has beautiful scenery and flat terrain. There are more than 400000 pear trees, covering an area of more than 7000 mu.

There are also three pools at the pass, with a water storage area of 66 mu, which is called "Buddha facing three pools".

The third scenic spot is Foding scenic spot. Thousands of acres of pine forest, dense green, breeze together, Hula Hula the sound of the pines to the ear, green pines pleasing to the eye, it is refreshing. There is an old cypress tree on the top of the mountain. It is said that it was planted in Fengshui when the temple was built. It has a history of more than 1000 years. Buddha top, covering an area of about 10 mu, is the former concentration of temples, including Muyu mountain, Tiebei hall, dashanmen, Dafo hall, Guanyin hall, Puxian hall and shuifo temple. As a result of the destruction, the temple no longer exists, leaving only the ancient remains. However, the reputation of Mount falai has been enduring, and its beautiful stories are still spread among the people, especially in Leshan, Zigong, Yibin, Luzhou and Chongqing. Every year in the second, sixth and ninth months of the lunar calendar, there is an endless stream of pilgrims, sometimes hundreds of people a day. To the north of the Buddha top is a precipice, with a supporting (inch) waist rock and elephant trunk mouth. It is extremely steep, with a vertical height difference of more than 400 meters from the foot of the mountain. It is said that when the rain falls in June, the light of Buddha appears on the mountain wall. In fact, the Buddha's light is not only present in June, it doesn't have to wait for the rain. As long as the sun is at the top of the mountain, there are clouds winding around the mountain wall, and the mist is light, the Buddha's light may appear. The Buddha top is very similar to the top of Mount Emei, and the principle of Buddha light is also the same. In southern Sichuan, there is a beautiful story about the competition between the two sisters of Mount falai and Mount Emei. Standing on the Buddha top, you can see all the mountains and waters within 20 kilometers, which is really spectacular. On a fine day, the Yangtze River can also be seen clearly.

The cave is high and wide. There is a wall beside the cave. There is a lookout cave on the wall. There are stone water tanks and other living facilities in the cave. It can be seen that someone lived here for a long time to avoid the pursuit of outsiders. It is said that the ancients once recited Buddhist scriptures and cultivated themselves here. Located on a steep road up to the Buddha Mountain, there is a cave, commonly known as fox cave. Young people who visit the Buddha mountain like to experience the strange and dangerous feeling of fox cave. There is also a peculiar cave called Tongtian cave in Mount falai.
