The mountain is 460 meters above sea level, with steep mountains, dangerous boulders and winding valleys. In autumn, the mountains are covered with yellow flowers. During the Double Ninth Festival, literati in previous dynasties often climbed mountains to enjoy chrysanthemums, which was called "Chrysanthemum Appreciation in Foshan" and was one of the eight scenic spots in Jinan in the old days.
On the north wall of the mountain peak, there is a huge Buddhist holy place, completed in 1924, about 9 meters high, and there is an arch in the middle, with the words "Daxiong Hall" inscribed by Zhang Yinglin, a royal historian and calligrapher of Jinan in the late Qing Dynasty. Is there a view of the Northern Song Dynasty in front of the niche? The following year (1035), it was carved on the mountain, and the following year, a Buddha statue was carved. The Buddha statue is 7.8 meters high and 4 meters wide. It is grand and solemn. Because it is only carved above the chest and shoulders, it is commonly known as the "Giant Buddha Head". The stone wall on the west side of the Buddha statue is engraved with the inscription of rebuilding in March of the thirty-fifth year of Wanli (1607). The four characters of "Great Mercy and Great Compassion" of Dongbi Music are also inscriptions for the Ming people. Is there a scene of the Northern Song Dynasty on the stone wall on the east side outside the Buddhist shrine? Two square eaves relief towers carved in three years are exquisite in posture and elegant in style.
The niche goes up to the top of the mountain, and the scenery from the mountain is excellent. Row upon row of urban buildings, the bright lake as clear as a mirror, the winding Yellow River, and the beautiful figure of "smoking at nine o'clock" are all in sight.
In the deep stream under Fohui Mountain, it is the site of Kaiyuan Temple. This temple has a long history. According to the record of "Continuation of Licheng County Records Jinshisan", the words "Emperor Da Sui" still remain on the stone wall of the temple site. It can be seen that Buddhists set foot in this area during the Sui Dynasty. During the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty (7 13 ~ 74 1), the "Fohui Temple" was built again. Northern Song Dynasty scenery? Reconstruction during the year. In the early Ming Dynasty, Kaiyuan Temple in Jinan was occupied by the government, and monks moved into this temple, so it was renamed Kaiyuan Temple. The temple is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with pines and cypresses and vines hanging down, which is extremely quiet. There were five halls, three east-west halls and several lilacs in the Song Dynasty. On the north wall behind the temple, there are many upper and lower stone chambers. Confucian scholars used to read more than that. There is Zhenwu Cave in the west of Shibi, which was excavated in the 58th year of Qingganlong (1793). A statue of a tortoise is carved on the mountain below the adjacent cave, with a snake around its neck. Unique design, simple shape. Zhou Yan Cliff is the site of many Tang Dynasty statues. The mountain spring seeps through the gap in the cliff, which is called "Changsheng Spring" and "Ganlu Spring". In summer, the shade is covered and the temperature is cool. Tourists of all ages come here to enjoy the cool and enjoy tea.
After vicissitudes of life, the temple has fallen down and the stone Buddha statue has been damaged. Only since the Tang and Song Dynasties, the inscriptions of various generations have remained relatively intact between the cliffs. The clear spring washes jade, the trees are lush and the scenery is still beautiful.
In the west of Kaiyuan Temple, under the stone wall deep in the forest, there is a natural cave called Sleeping Cloud Cave. It is said that it is the place where monks who lie in the clouds practice in Kaiyuan Temple. The cave is narrow on the top and wide on the bottom, about 7 meters high and about 30 meters deep. There are inscriptions in it, and stalactites are very strange. The water dripping from the cracks in the rocks tinkled and gathered into small pools, flowing along the stream at the bottom of the cave. The upper end of the cave is decorated with mountain flowers and soft branches are hung. Around the cave, rocks and cliffs, lush trees, deep and quiet.
