Because of its location, which is closed to the summit, the rock is also called the ''Phoenix's Crest'' »ñÀg. Actually you can climb up to the top of the rock through a steep path at the back of the rock, but you have to be very careful since the place is full of lose rocks.

The nearby cave is rather famous among the hiker. Is is called the 'One-Tree Cave' ¤@¾ð©¥. Legend has that there used to be a large tree called the ''Phoenix Tea'' growing at the entrance to the cave, and hence its name. However, the plant being refered to as ''Phoenix Tea'' is probably the Mountain Begonia (Begonia fimbristipulata Hance), which is a herb rather than a tree.

I think that your star rating for "Lo Han Tower" should be 3 star. Though the trail it is not as difficult as most of the stream trekking, it is still not easier than "Middle Dog Teeth" and much difficult than "Sharp Peak" and "Wang Leng".
