Lianhua Mountain Scenic Area is located in Gaozhuang Town, south of Laiwu City 15km. It is 994 meters above sea level and the scenic area is 17 square kilometers. The top of the mountain is bounded by water, with Laiwu in the north and Xintai in the south. There is a through train and the traffic is very convenient.
Lianhua Mountain is also known as the public mountain, because Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty visited the immortals here and built Yingxian Palace on the top of the mountain. There are 36 hills and 72 deep valleys. The main peaks are Xinfushan, Zhang Wan Cliff, Jiming Mountain, Tianzhu Peak, Luxiang Mountain and Lianhuajian. Because the mountain is surrounded by lotus flowers and sharp as lotus flowers, it is called Lotus Mountain. It is the highest mountain in Laiwu City.
Lotus Mountain has abrupt peaks, towering skyscrapers, magnificent momentum, rugged dangerous rocks, criss-crossing ravines, grotesque caves, high waterfalls and dangerous pools everywhere, which can be described as a change of scenery. Bai Cui Hua in the mountains is luxuriant in wood, beautiful in scenery and rich in historical and cultural relics. The famous "Palace Mountain Sunset" and the nearly-completed 100-meter giant Guanyin statue-Fenghu-Nanhai will become the unique landscape of Laiwu and even Shandong. Lianhua Mountain, the "Laiwu Landscape Grand View Garden and the first Guanyin in Qilu", is a veritable highlight of eco-cultural tourism.
Lianhua Mountain has now built a 6-meter-wide 10-mile highway and built 3000-meter climbing steps. There are three scenic spots, namely Liangeng Valley, Magic Valley, Putian Valley and Baiyunling, with more than 20 scenic spots/kloc-0.
Liangeng Valley is named after the lotus on the top of the mountain because the valley bends like a stalk. In the valley, waterfalls and springs flow, wild flowers are in pieces, birds are in groups, and there is a different world. Washing the heart pool is to wash the heart and dust, and it is the first scene to enter the mountain. Lotus Gate, with a lotus pattern engraved on it and the Chinese character "Gate" engraved on the bottom, has a profound meaning; Lions come out of the mountain, tortoise probes, path book rocks, guardian door gods and other strange stones are vividly in my mind. Flowing through Yinling, it shines like silver and is magnificent. Jade girl pool, according to legend, Xiaoyu, the daughter of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, longed for this pool to be quiet and had bathed here. There is a nude bathing statue of a natural girl on the stone wall in the pool. The Jade Girl Waterfall is about 20 meters high. Beauty is revealed in the beauty of flying flowers and broken jade. There are two ways to move on: one is the "love gate" and the other is the "wealth gate". Tourists can choose one of them and take only one, which embodies a philosophy of life and implies that "you can't have your cake and eat it", which is intriguing. Tianmen in Weah stands tall, and the gate is green as a dream, which gives people infinite reverie and stimulates people's desire to see the gate. Tianmen Waterfall hangs high halfway up the mountain, flying directly down, and the scenery is very attractive. There are boulders under the waterfall, which are called "pillars of waterfall flow". After thousands of years of impact, it is smooth and white, which makes people realize. Along the steps is the Longwang Temple, with three pools and three waterfalls. It is really a string of three waterfalls, and the three pools are connected by beads. People are tired and have no interest. There is a touching story about redrock bay and Hongshi Waterfall. Legend has it that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was stationed in the "Palace" of Lianhua Mountain, and his daughter Xiaoyu was obsessed with the mountains and played around. On this day, she was swinging on the "Millennium Elm". Because of the strong mountain wind, one of my daughter's embroidered red shoes fell here. Later, the stones here turned red, so it was called Hongyan Bay. It is said that on auspicious days, if you stand under the Hongshi Waterfall, people with virtue can see the beautiful image of Xiaoyu from the phantom of the Waterfall. In Gubei Valley, there is an ancient cliff monument. Because of its age and illegible handwriting, people of insight are waiting to enter the mountains to decipher it. It is said that this is the site of the Hanging Temple. The story of the Hanging Temple is particularly fascinating. Legend has it that there was an old man with two children in an ancient temple. One day, the old man went back to the temple to play chess with Taoist friends and saw a white child and two children playing. Later, the old man asked who the two children were, but the Taoist children didn't know. The old man told the two children that after the child came back, he secretly tied a red line on him. Tomorrow, the old man went down the line and found that it was a thousand-year-old ginseng, which had transformed into a human form. The old man dug it up and went back to the temple to stew it. He went to ask a Taoist friend to taste it. As a result, Erdaotong couldn't accept the strange smell of ginseng in the pot. When he heard that the master was back, he was afraid of being blamed and spilled the rest of the ginseng soup. The whole temple immediately took off. This is the origin of the Hanging Temple. Only the ancient stone mortar of Mi is still on the Liang Shi of the site, waiting quietly until now. ...
Climb the ladder, cross the Lotus Waterfall, and reach the Lotus South Sea. It is the first mountain lake in Shandong, and it is called "South China Sea" because there is a huge Guanyin statue on the top of the mountain. South China Sea area 1.64 million square meters, total storage capacity1.80 million cubic meters. The blue sky on the top of the mountain, white clouds, green trees, Guanyin and temples are reflected in the lake, forming a unique lake and mountain scenery of Lianhua Mountain, which integrates water recreation such as boating, fishing and swimming. What a great enjoyment it is to watch Sunset on Miyayama and Magnificent Radar in one place and gather in Lotus Village in a village for leisure and holiday!
Climb to the top of Lianhua Mountain and get a panoramic view of Laiwu Xintai. Take Lingyun Road, visit Zhongshan Radar and watch the plane take off and land in front of Lianhua Mountain. At that time, you will realize the true meaning of "infinite scenery"
Baiyunling Scenic Area: Baiyunling, named after the white rocks in the mountains look like white clouds. The terrain here is gentle and deep, but there are many stone scenes. It is said that some villagers nearby worship stones as godmothers, which can eliminate disasters and diseases for people. Perhaps at this time, stones can gather the essence of heaven and earth and the aura of the sun and the moon. The seal is true to life and full of charm. The ape looked up at the sky, and there was a huge rock uplift on the top of the mountain, which resembled the ape. Looking up at the sky, it was thoughtful and very realistic.
Pu Tian Canyon Scenic Area: Its famous waterfall is the "frozen terrace", which is about 300 meters long. Flash floods in summer are like the Milky Way hanging upside down and waterfalls falling from the sky. It's like a dragon coming out of the mountain, shaking its head and tail, smoking, growling and rolling, and rushing out of Lianhua Mountain with the trend of splitting the mountain and shaking the mountain. It's really scary. In winter, the waterfall turns into dazzling ice, with silver light and cold shadow. Looking around, it is like a celestial mirror embedded in Lotus Mountain, which is very strange and magnificent.
Lotus Mountain is ancient and mysterious, and it is beautiful and charming.
