This PokéStop marks the correct spot to look for Chinese guardian stone lions pair, however it marked at the wrong lion. The image in Pokemon Go portray a male stone lion which supposed to be at the right of the Main Entrance Gateway, but appears somewhat at the left of the Gateway. Pokemon Go Trainers may also end up finding the epicenter of this stop lies at the parking lot in front of the Gateway.
