| Out of town is the chance to hike away, with numerous sights worth visiting including the Dragon Head Cliff (Longshouya), that rears to around 1,000 feet above sea level, the Donglin Monastery (Donglin si), one of the oldest monasteries in Lu Shan, and the Pavilion of Watching the River (Wangjian ting), where the Han Dynasty (206BC-220AD) historian Sima Qian wrote "I mounted Lu Shan in the south and examined how Yu the Great had dredged the nine streams". Some of the best sights are in the Hanpokou area, about two hours walk to the east of the village. Also worth visiting, is the well kept Botanical Gardens (Zhiwuyuan), to the southeast of the pretty Lulin Lake (Lulin hu), within which are a good selection of alpine and tropical plantlife.
