Stone lion worship is extremely rare in Hakka settlements. Guangfu Village, formerly known as "Dalonguan," has three stone lions that are majestic, amusing, and in various poses. Their robust and towering forms are unique in Taiwan. It is said that over 200 years ago, when Hakka pioneers first settled here, disasters such as floods, wild beasts, indigenous peoples, and westerly winds were constant. Therefore, the villagers created the first stone lion, which allowed them to live and work in peace. In 1856, a mountain flood buried the stone lion in mud and sand. It wasn't until 1984, when bridge construction workers heard lion roars at night and excavated with heavy machinery, that the stone lion saw the light of day again. The villagers later created two more stone lions in 1918 and 1965. Currently, the first stone lion is in front of the Shuntian Temple in the village, while the other two are in the Stone Lion Park, continuing to protect the village.
