Dandong Dagushan Guanhaiting

Due to the fact that the temple complex at Tianhou Palace was inaccessible, I had to walk back down the original staircase and then continue climbing up the steps🚶 . There is a building called 'Zhongnan Qingfeng' along the way where you can check in. The deep purple wooden door really has a profound sense, and there is something on top that looks like a gourd, which is quite fun😁 . After a simple check-in and a little rest while eating something, I continued on my way. Next to the staircase path above, there is a tower with various statues placed on the ground, probably including everything. In any case, there are at least dozens of statues arranged there, and each niche in the tower also has a statue🧐 . After saying goodbye to this tower, I encountered a stone stele of the Dagushan Shengshui Palace Anbu Nakamaro's ruins and left my footprints there🙇 . After coming up from the stone stele of Anbu Nakamaro's ruins, I saw this Guanhaiting at the left corner. . After turning up, I first sat in the pavilion to rest for a while. It was only when I was about to leave that I remembered to check in at the rock seat for this Guanhaiting (I didn't recognize the middle character as 'hai' at first, and I thought to take a photo first and then look at it slowly, but I couldn't figure out what it read. This bothered me for a long time until today when I suddenly had an inspiration and tried to look it up. Dagushan indeed has a Guanhaiting, so I confirmed it reads 'hai'🧐). . Opposite the Guanhaiting, there was also a beautiful yellow flower bed, so I casually checked it in as well😁 . After saying goodbye to the Guanhaiting, a fork in the road appeared next. One path was a seemingly desolate road going forward, marked as the path to the summit, while the right side was the staircase path of the temple complex. . I was indecisive here for a long time and asked several people. After confirming that both sides could lead to the summit, I followed the staircase path on the advice of passers-by😁 . After climbing the staircase path for a while, I saw that this side was actually the upper temple complex of Dagushan, while the one below was the lower temple complex. . There is a nine-hundred-year-old ginkgo tree here, which can also be considered a thousand-year-old ginkgo tree, so I had to check it in😁 . The area around the ginkgo tree was also hung with long prayer strips, densely packed and really beautiful😁
