The tiger's mouth is the Shouxing Rock, and next to it is the Hu'er Rock. Shouxing Rock is also known as Range Rover Rock. There are still cliff carvings from all ages on the cave walls. At the mouth of Shouxing Rock, there stands a statue of Shouxing Weng more than 6 meters high. There are more than 10 caves with different scenery on the mountain, including Luban Rock, Dudu Rock, Niubi Rock, and Fudi Rock. In 1987, the county rebuilt Jingguan Tower, Yuantong Gate, Daxiong Hall, etc.
In May 1989, Master Xiucheng moved into Shouxing Temple. Through the bridge of Buddhism, Master Xiucheng actively raised funds and successively built statues of Tathagata Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva, General Wei Tuo and Taishang Laojun in the temple. Eighteen Arhat statues were also built in Hu'er Rock. In June 1989, Zhao Puchu, the former president of the Chinese Buddhist Association and a famous calligrapher, wrote a couplet in his own handwriting: "You should know that your heart is the Buddha, and you should take the precepts as your teacher" to the Shouxing Temple. It has been engraved on Yuantong. Both sides of the door. In August of that year, the four words "Daxiong Palace" written by Zhao Puchu were sent to Shouxing Temple, and a large plaque was made and hung in the temple. In the late 1990s, even though Master Xiucheng was in his seventies, he still spared no effort to raise funds in various ways and built the majestic new Mahavira Hall and the Heavenly King Hall on the mountainside. The number of monks and nuns on the mountain has grown to more than 20 people. Nowadays, with green trees on the mountain, pilgrims constantly coming, and bells ringing, Laozi Mountain has become a famous Buddhist resort far and wide. In 2010, it was rated as a national AAA scenic spot. In 2011, he participated in the Liuzhou Tourism Business Card Selection and won the "Most Influential Religious and Cultural Scenic Area Award".
