A legendary bronze mirror on a hill in Zhushan related to the popular myth of the Jiaqing Emperor (嘉慶帝) touring Taiwan. The original site was heavily damaged by the 921 Earthquake but the mirror emerged unscathed. After reconstruction much of the debris was left in place as a memorial. Located behind Zhushan Shadong Temple.
