Baodu Zhai, Ancient fortified settlement in Luquan District, China.

The mountain complex contains numerous springs, waterfalls, and caves across its 580-meter elevation near Shijiazhuang city.

During the Wei dynasty, residents carried calves up the mountain to escape an uprising by Ge Rong, giving the site its name.

The Hall of 500 Luohan houses hundreds of stone sculptures depicting religious figures in different poses with three golden Buddhas.

Visitors can reach the settlement through a hiking path from the southeast or take a cable car with an intermediate station.

The mountain formation takes the shape of a reclining Buddha, with stone walls encircling the entire settlement at its peak.
