MACI ROBBINS
In the northwest side of Shidao Port in Shandong, the mountain is named after the red color of the mountain. The altitude of the mountain here is not high, only more than 300 meters, but the mountain is steep, the sea is mountainous, and the air is very good.
There is a thousand-year-old temple in the Chishan Mountain that connects the history of China, Japan and Korea. This Fahuayuan was built in the Tang Dynasty, but the founder was a Korean, Zhang Baozhen.
Strongly in the Tang Dynasty, when the Tang Dynasty was strong, the Korean Peninsula and Dongsong Fusang had many people coming to China to "work". Zhang Baozhen, who was born in Silla at the time, was one of them. After joining the Tang Dynasty, he joined the Wuning Army as an officer and was stationed in the Chishan area. At that time, there were many Silla people living here, and almost all believed in Buddhism. Therefore, in order to give the fellow country a spiritual sustenance, Zhang Baozhen built the temple in Chishan after obtaining the consent of the Tang Dynasty officials.
In this "one temple and three countries", the story of Japan is the most legendary. It was also in the Tang Dynasty that the Japanese Yuanren Master sent Tang to come to China to seek law. When he returned to China, he drifted to Chishan and hangs tin. At the Chihua Fahua Institute, with two disciples and all walks of the way to the Wutai Mountain to learn the Buddha, and later transferred to Chang'an, all the way to the wind and rain, 10 years before and after - to add a white dragon horse, this is simply appropriate "Japan Journey to the West"!
The most conspicuous statue on the Chishan Mountain is the Red Mountain God. At the height of Chishan, up to 58.8 meters, the statue of Damings, weighing more than 380 tons, is backed by mountains and seas. It is the largest forged bronze statue in the world and the largest statue of sea god in China!

Shidao Chishan Scenic Area, located in Rongcheng City, the easternmost tip of the Jiaodong Peninsula in Weihai City, Shandong Province, is named after the red stone. It is now a national 4A tourist attraction. One of the most famous spots here is the world's largest forged bronze statue of 58.8 meters - Chishan Mingshen, also the first sea god statue in China.
Chishan Mingshen is said that the phase is out of the red gate of Chishan, the town of Weizhen, the magical boundless, guarding the native land, the blessing of the thousand, the merits of the world, is the god of blessing in the north. The Chishan Mingshen has always been worshipped by countries such as Dongpu, and even Persian, big food and other regions. To this day, Japan, South Korea and other monasteries still offer more to the gods of Chisan. It is said that a large number of Japanese and Korean believers are competing to worship each year.
In addition, the stunning China's first Guanyin dynamic music fountain square in the Chishan Scenic Area is the Bliss Bodhisattva. It combines sculpture, music, fountains, waterfalls and fireworks, using modern high-tech means to vividly interpret the dynamic music square of Buddhist culture.
The music fountain is novel in design, large in scale and unique in effect. If it is not in the treasure of the Buddha, it is really rare to see it. The entire dynamic demonstration process takes 15 minutes. In the magnificent Buddha music, the fountain will transform into a variety of strange water types with the rhythm, and the Guanyin Bodhisattva rotates for a week. Under the lotus seat, Jin Tongyu's female hand, Jin Jinpan, walked out from the slowly opened door and accepted the nectar of Guanyin Bodhisattva. In the mouth of the four King Kong Lux, the colorful flames were sprayed to support the Bodhisattva dance. The nine gold dragons on the side of the pool followed the clouds and rain, and spouted the water column. The fountain in the sunlight reflected the magical rainbow and made people stunned.
