## About Great Heavenly Pool and Longshou Cliff

Manjusri Bodhisattva saw that Mount Lu lacked clear water, so he thrust his hands into the rock and created two pools, giving rise to the Heavenly Pool. A solitary cliff hangs suspended without falling. Legend holds that the Heavenly Pool and Longshou Cliff together form a wondrous scene that embodies humanity’s longing for the sublime.
