Sanshan Nunnery (Three-hill Nunnery)
Constructed in 1151, this nunnery is surrounded by the Cui, Pinpo and Lushi Hills. Facing north, it has one courtyard and a main building used to house a statue of Sakyamuni. An inscribed board above the door writes 'Big World', while a slab of marble at the foot of the door is known for its beautiful veins that have formed into a beautiful landscape. When water is sprayed on the marble, pictures of waterfalls, figures, animals and clouds appear. Couplets on the back door of the site's east hall were written by a famed calligrapher named Chu Tunan.
