Introduction to the Erzu Nunnery: Climb the Bobu Peak from the Shaolin Temple to the southwest. There is a Buddhist temple on the top of the peak, which is the Erzu Nunnery. According to legend, Huike, the second ancestor of Zen Buddhism, studied Buddhism with Bodhidharma and received the true transmission of the mantle and bowl after breaking his arm, and he recuperated here. There are four wells in front of the hall, which are said to have been dug by Huike. These four wells are very close to each other, but the water tastes are different. They are called "Zhuoxijing". The locals also call them "the four wells of bitter, spicy, sour and sweet".
