浮山寺, Fushan Temple
Stands in the middle of the He River. Fushan, also known as Yuyin Mountain. It is said that since the establishment of the Fushan Temple, no matter how large the mountain flood, Fushan has never been submerged, and it has always floated above the water surface. On the right side of the mountain gate is the Canglang Pavilion. On the mountaintop is the Chen Wang Temple, where there are grand "Fushan Song Festival" and "Fushan Song Fair". Fushan Song Festival: also known as the Birthday of Chen Wang Temple. On May 19th, ethnic singers from Hunan, Guangdong, and Guangxi provinces, as well as the elderly and fellow villagers from all four townships, came to gather to perform singing performances, worship the gods and Buddha, and pray for good luck. The mountains and seas of people rise and fall on Fushan, with firecrackers blaring in unison and singing like a tide. From a distance, Fushan looks like a huge treasure seal floating in the air on the river, so people also call it "Jade Seal Fushan". The cliffs and cliffs around Fushan are extremely dangerous; The trees on the mountain are towering, and ancient vines entangle the trees; The Langcang Pavilion by the stone edge of the mountain gate is engraved with the words "Fushan" in Mr. Li Jishen's handwriting and works by calligraphers of all ages
