　　 The Peak That Flew Here directly faces Souls' Retreat Temple. In about 326 in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (317-420), a Buddhist devotee came from India and insisted that this hill, 168 metres above sea level, resembled exactly one in his own country. He asked when it had flown to Hangzbou. To fortify his claim he said that the hill had a white monkey in a cave there. When recognized as The Peak That Flew Here. The bill is smaller and has more bizarre rocks and caves than those around it. It is also cut off from the other hills by a winding valley in which a stream flows. It is different too in having rocks of limestone rather than ,sand stone, as do the other hills.
One large cave in the hill can accommodate several hundred people. Continuing erosion has gradually produced cracks in the roof letting in daylight.
On The Peak That Flew Here are over 280 ancient stone sculptures dating between the 10th and 14th centuries (Five Dynasties, Song and Yuan dynasties). These are important examples of ancient sculptural art south of the Yangtze River.
