8. Scenes at Tiger Hill

Sword Testing Stone and Sword Pond is another landmark of the historic site. It is said that King He Lu was a collector for the finest swords and he tested them upon this stone. The crevice thus left in the rock that is an evidence for the legend. It is believed that these swords were buried beneath the Sword Pond as the King's funerary items. A thousand slaves, it was said, who built the tomb were buried alive with the deceased King upon completion of the tomb.
