Dongluo Rock

　　On the mountainside of Dongluo Mountain, there is a “Baiyun Temple.” The temple was initially built by the Yuan Dynasty monk Ruhai, using a natural stone shelter to form a hermitage. During the Ming Dynasty’s Jiajing era, Wang Cheng rebuilt it as a two-courtyard, three-bay structure, and it has also undergone renovation and expansion in recent years.

　　The “Dongluo Sunrise” is one of the ancient Eight Scenic Spots of Zhangpu. At sunrise, when the first rays of sunlight appear, the sky is filled with radiant light and swirling clouds, and the mouth of the stone shelter displays a dazzling array of colors, creating a spectacular sight. The mountain top features numerous strange rocks and formations, as well as the “Dawn Cave,” “Reclining Portrait Cave,” and multiple large natural stone shelters, some of which can accommodate hundreds of people. Beside the temple is an ancient well with cool, sweet spring water. Behind the temple are the ruins of the “Qiyun Fort,” along with various named rock formations such as “Fairy Pillow Stone” and “Lightning-Split Stone.” Surrounding the temple are ancient stone steps shaded by towering old trees, leading through a serene and winding path. There is also a more than 500-year-old Golden Bell lychee tree standing proudly nearby. The area also contains dozens of cultural relics and historic sites such as cliff inscriptions and stone tablets from the Ming and Qing dynasties, as well as the tomb pagoda of the monk Ruhai. The mountain is covered with lush vegetation and boasts enchanting scenery, making it a popular tourist destination. In recent years, it has gradually become a hotspot for local residents to visit and a great spot for leisure and fitness.
