Introduction to Luohan Hall: Buddha Hall is also called 18 Luohan Hall. It is a Buddha Hall built between the three cliffs. It was first built in the Tang Dynasty. The natural grotto is 10 meters high, 8 meters wide and 25 meters long. There are Buddha statues of Sakyamuni and 18 Arhats here. The earliest statue of Sakyamuni had a jade body and faced due east. After it was destroyed during the war, a 1.5-meter-high jade Buddha was rebuilt facing the southeast. During the Cultural Revolution, it was thrown down the mountain by the Red Guards, and the jade also flowed into the people. Today, broken jade is still preserved in nearby villagers' homes, and some even use it to pound garlic. When Pingshan County developed the mountain in 1988, eighteen Arhat statues were made of clay.
