A large rock was shaped with a niche-like recess in the middle, and a bodhisattva figure, a halo, and a pedestal are carved inside. A wide stone slab laid above the niche forms eaves, and the bodhisattva wears a low crown with no ornament. Road construction cut away the bedrock, so the figure now sits on a steep cliff. You can see it at any time, but you cannot park.
