Guanyin Rock in Sanzhualun

Guanyin Rock in Sanzhualun

Her overall image resembles a fairy holding a basin to catch water, and the waterfall is the water she is trying to catch. This waterfall, located under the "Ning" character bridge, is called the Chessboard Waterfall. Because if you view the waterfall as a Chinese chess game, then the "Ning" character bridge spanning overhead is like the "Chu River" and "Han Border." Its roots are connected, and on one root there are three trees, representing the old, the middle-aged, and the young respectively, hence it is named "Same Root, Same Life." It is said that it also symbolizes the blessing of having many children. Guanyin Cave is a naturally formed cave. Legend has it that the compassionate Goddess Guanyin, leading a group of immortals to save the suffering, came here and, charmed by the beautiful landscape, descended to enjoy the scenery and rest in this cave. Unwilling to leave, she transformed into a giant rock standing atop the peak, meaning she would accompany this landscape year-round—this is the massive rock at the summit. The four immortals in her entourage, who oversee human careers, wealth, safety, and love, also fell in love with the landscape and thus turned into four lucky green trees, staying here with her. Later generations named the cave where Guanyin rested as Guanyin Cave, and the four lucky trees are known as the Career Tree, Wealth Tree, Safety Tree, and Love Tree, where people come to worship and pray for blessings. Beside Guanyin Cave, there is a pool called the "Wishing Pool," where visitors can toss coins as donations to accumulate merit. Next to the "Zi" character bridge, there is an attraction called the "Child Bathing Pool," which looks very much like a child playing and bathing in the sacred waters of Guanyin. Therefore, women hoping to conceive might want to try the water in the pool before crossing the bridge, praying to Guanyin for the blessing of a lovely baby boy.
