Camel Mountain

Surprise. Unexpected surprise. I originally went to Qingzhou to see the museum and the ancient city. I didn't expect Yunmen Mountain and Tuoshan to bring me such a big surprise. Tuoshan stone carvings are not only large in size, but also very beautiful.

The camel mountain is not high, but the mountain is steep and the steps are relatively high. It may be because it is not as famous as the opposite Yunmen Mountain. There are relatively few tourists. The original cable car is basically deserted now, so the whole journey depends on it. The grottoes on the mountain are rare pieces. They were born in Beizhou early and carved in Zhongtang later. Even if the face of the Buddha is unclear, the clothes and decorations are still lifelike. It is worth watching the Longxing Temple at the foot of the mountain. It has a long history and can be visited together. The new temple is rebuilt on the site, free to open to the outside world, and the interior is large-scale, not only the temple is more like a large garden, it is very beautiful!

It takes 40 minutes to climb the mountain of Tuoshan. The mountain is not high. It overlooks Longxing Temple. There are 5 grottoes built during the Sui and Tang periods. In winter, the scenery is not too good, the cable car is not open, if it is summer, it may be better.

There are very few people in Tuoshan, basically no tourists, it seems to be relatively desolate, there are fewer attractions along the way, the steps are steeper than Yunmen Mountain, and the fun is a little weaker. It is mainly to see the grottoes. But there are particularly ugly iron shelves installed in front of the grottoes, which is really speechless. The grottoes are relatively complete than Yunmen Mountain. Those who are interested in the grotto statue can climb it. It takes about forty or fifty minutes one way. From the grotto statue to the top is the Haotian Palace. The palace view is very majestic, and the master of practice inside is also very polite. You can go and have a look. But I have to say that the tickets for Tuoshan and Yunmen Mountain are too expensive, and the ropeway is not open, and it is no wonder that there are fewer tourists.

Very niche attractions, although not far from the ancient city of Qingzhou, the whole tour did not meet a few tourists. Located in Qingzhou City, Shandong Province, southwest of the city, 6 kilometers away from the city, located on the west bank of the waterfall, the north is the line of the Lushan Mountain, the south is Nantuo Mountain, the east Yunmen Mountain and the mountain giant Buddha, and the west is looking at Linglong Mountain. The main peak is 408 meters above sea level. It is one of the eight scenic spots in ancient Qingzhou. It is called "Tuoling Qianxun". It stretches several cities, with twin peaks facing off, shaped like a camel. During the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty, the official residence and the military department Shangshu, the two big words "Caoshan" written by Qiao Yu, the Leping man of the Prince Taibao, were engraved on the stone wall in front of the mountain, and they were still visible. They enjoy a reputation in Shandong and even the whole country.
