A seated Buddha (1 figure) is carved in relief in the center. Around it, more than 30 figures, such as a pensive bodhisattva, standing Buddhas and standing bodhisattvas, and 1 rock-carved pagoda are carved in shallow lines. It has a Three Kingdoms-period style, but the time of carving cannot be determined. A village story says that this place used to be a pond, and a believer crossed it by boat and carved the Buddha. It is always open, and admission and parking are free.

It shows Three Kingdoms-period style and features, but the direction of the hand gestures (mudras), the carving technique and the arrangement of the figures are not consistent, so the time it was made cannot be determined.
