Mount Qianfo in Jinan, Shandong, the travel guide is too comprehensive

Mount Qianfo, formerly known as Lishan, also known as Shungeng Mountain, is one of the three famous attractions in Jinan (the other two are Baotu Spring and Daming Lake). It is said that in ancient times, Emperor Shun of Yu personally farmed under Lishan, hence the name Shungeng Mountain. Qianfo Mountain is located about 2.5 kilometers south of Jinan City, with undulating peaks and dense forests, just like the natural barrier of Jinan. Representative attractions include Xingguo Zen Temple, Qianfo Cliff, Qianlou Cave, Guanyin Garden, Wanfo Cave, etc., as well as the natural scenery of Lishan. Tour route: Main entrance (north gate) → Eighteen Arhats → God of Wealth Temple → Sanqing View → Reclining Buddha → Guanyin Garden → Tanghuai Pavilion → Qiyandian → Yunjing Zen View → Qianlong Imperial Stele → Xingguo Zen Temple → Qianfo Cliff Sui Dynasty Cliff Carvings → Lishan Garden → Wangdai Pavilion → Chrysanthemum Appreciation Pavilion → Wenhua Garden → Wenchang Pavilion → Maitreya Holy Garden → East Gate (Art Academy Entrance) Recommended attractions: Guanyin Garden: A white-clothed Guanyin is enshrined in the center of the pool, and there are many different forms of Guanyin around the pool, with dignified and lifelike shapes; Xingguo Zen Temple: It started in the Kaihuang period of the Sui Dynasty and was called 'Qianfo Temple'. During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, it was expanded and renamed 'Xingguo Zen Temple'. As a famous temple in Qilu, it leans on the cliff to the south and faces the spring city to the north, with a strong incense; Lishan Garden: The main hall enshrines the statue of Emperor Shun, with the Three Saints Hall and Luban Ancestral Hall on both sides; Chrysanthemum Appreciation Pavilion: Viewing chrysanthemums on Buddha Mountain has been one of the 'Eight Sceneries of Jinan' since the Ming Dynasty. This place is on the top of the mountain, where you can enjoy chrysanthemums in autumn, watch the sunrise and sunset, and overlook the spring city.
