Buddha’s Hidden Pond

　　    Buddha’s Hidden Pond is located to the east of Sitian Village, Jicheng Town, Xinxing County. Within the pond, the Transformation Pool features a waterfall cascading down steep cliffs into a several-meter-deep pool. Inside the pool there is a cave where the Sixth Patriarch of Zen Buddhism, Huineng, is said to have passed away. Over a hundred feet outside the pool in the stream lies a flat rock. In former times, during droughts, villagers would often carry a statue of the Sixth Patriarch to this rock to pray for rain, which was believed to be quite effective. Opposite the flat rock on the mountainside stands a huge boulder dozens of zhang tall, resembling the image of Skanda (Weituo), hence the name "Weituo Rock." On both sides of the pond at the foot of the mountains there are several massive rocks resembling the Four Heavenly Kings, commonly referred to as the "Diamond Rocks."

　　    Buddha’s Hidden Pond boasts unique rocks, pristine mountains, and beautiful waters, making it a great destination for sightseeing.
