Around the terrace outside the gallery are found 26 rockeries. There were made up from stones moved from the garden in the Grand Palace. Two rockeries are of special interest. The one in front of the great stupas has a 'Siva Lingam' while another miniature rock hill features the 'Rishi' figures in posture of self massage. Apart from the rockeries, Wat Pho abounds in stone figures from China. The figures have been used as ballast of the sail when intensive trade with China were made during the reign of King Rama III.
