The Fei
Lai Feng is situated to the east of Ling Yin Si. Isolated from
others, its stone quality is totally different from that of surrounding
mountain groups. It is 167 meters high, on the peak of which there
are many grotesque stones in the shapes of charming dragon, prostrate
tiger, walking elephant and scared ape. The colour of the stones
is also queer, green touched with purple, shining and slippery
to the full tastes of visitors.
The biggest Budha image of the Fei Lai Feng
is Maitrey with cloth bag on shoulder, otherwise known for Budaha
of joy. With exposed breast and belly, it sits on cliff along
the brook, laughing from Northern Sung (960-1127) up to now. Besides,
there is image of King Da Li Ming with three heads, eight arms,
and stripping to the waist, colorful crown on head and pearl and
jade necklace on neck, a superb one in the statues of the Yuan
Dynasty.
