Longdong is located on Longdong Mountain in the southeast of Jinan suburb 15km. According to legend, during the Shi Yao period in the Tang Dynasty, the dragon made waves here, causing floods. Dayu is in charge of water conservancy. Come and catch them. The dragon came out of the mountain and left a deep hole. So Yushan is also called Yushan. There are rich natural and cultural landscapes here. It became a tourist attraction in the Song Dynasty. Sun Xingyan, a famous scholar in Qing Dynasty, praised my Youlong Cave as amazing. It's hard to say if you can't draw it. Scenic spots include Longdong Mountain, Foyu and Matiyu.

1. Longdong Mountain is located in the south of Longdong Village, Yao Jia Town, Jinan suburb. It is named after the Longdong in the mountain, where the peaks are stacked, the mountains are steep and the rocks are rugged. The mountains here are fantastic, with Laojun Cliff and Phoenix Terrace arched like doors in the north, and Duxiu Peak and Sanxiu Peak in the south, forming a cliff-surrounded valley called Longdong Valley. There are Laojun Cliffs on both sides of Yukou, and Laojun Wells are under the cliffs. It is said that Taishang Laojun used to be an alchemist here. Opposite Laojun Cliff, the cave side is Phoenix Terrace, which is said to be the place where Phoenix once lived. The two mountains are opposite, and there are clear streams flowing in the valley, with beautiful scenery. South of the deep valley, the giant peak is in danger; Surrounded by trees and white clouds, it is called Bai Yunfeng. From here to the west, through a canyon, you will reach the hinterland of Longdongyu. The steep peaks in this area stand on the wall, as steep as a knife, and seem to be ingenious. One of them is a famous temple, which was built in Wei and Jin Dynasties. For four years (1076), he was given a birthday hospital. The temple is dedicated to the dragon king, dragon son, dragon girl, golden dragon and other gods, and the incense is very strong. Drought and rain, in July of Yuanfeng two years (1079), was also named Shunhou. During the Jin Dynasty, he changed his name to Gong. Now the temple has been destroyed, but two old ginkgo trees are flourishing. The stone tablet carved in the second year of Yuanfeng in the Northern Song Dynasty (1079) still exists today, recording the story of the mountain dragon and the rain. The peak on the south side of the old temple site is Qiu Qiyan, on which stands a seven-level stone pagoda, which is12m high and looks like Xi 'an Wild Goose Pagoda. It was built in the sixth year of Song Zhenghe (1 16). There is a statue of Guanyin in the Buddhist shrine of the tower. In the relic room under the tower, there are many relics of Zong Yi, a monk of Dongda Shengyuan Temple in Kaiyuan Temple (now Huimin, Shandong Province). A monument is embedded in the front of the tower. On the north side of Jiuyi Rock, the unique Xiufeng solitary peak stands tall, and the stone wall is covered with dragon gods who worship the river since the Song and Yuan Dynasties, and more than ten kinds of Chinese characters for sightseeing spots are engraved. Among them is an inscription by Yuan Feng, the son of Fan Zhongyan, a statesman of the Song Dynasty, who lived in Fan Chunren, qi zhou for four years (108 1). The figures carved this time are three feet tall, magnificent and charming, which is a spectacle. Between the two peaks, there is a huge straight cliff, like a screen, called Jinping Rock, with cypress trees hanging on it, elm trees sprinkled on it and mountain flowers decorated. There are huge stone carvings such as Endless White Clouds and Jin Ping Chun Xiao carved in the wall, among which Liu Wenzhu, a famous scholar in Jinan, wrote the article "Standing on the wall in thousands of feet, the strokes can accommodate one person" in the 22nd year of Guangxu reign in Qing Dynasty (1896). Every spring, mountain flowers are like embroidery, which is known as the dawn of Jinping and was once listed as one of the eight scenic spots in Jinan. Between the southwest cliffs facing Jinping Rock is the famous Longdong. The entrance of the cave is 2.7 meters high and 1.3 meters wide. On the stone walls on both sides, couplets are engraved: the true spirit is spurting and the divine power is mixed. It was written by Gong Suo, the magistrate of Jinan in Tongzhi period of Qing Dynasty.

The cave connects east and west, and is about 100 meters long. Into the cave, it turned out to be a stone room with a high dome, which can accommodate dozens of people. There are three groups of Buddha statues with sharp pen, totaling more than 50, three of which are 4 meters high. They are the works of Tian Ping in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, with solemn method and simple style. Others were mostly chiseled in the Sui Dynasty. Then inward, the cave body narrows, suddenly converging and relaxing, winding and lingering, deep and remote. The grotesque rocks in the cave, stalactites hanging upside down, stone flowers clustered, water drops dripping, sonorous and rhythmic. Walking out of the hole, I was suddenly enlightened. Since the Song and Yuan Dynasties, there have been many inscriptions on the stone wall on the north side. There is another hole not far from the entrance of Longdong, hanging on the steep wall, and there is no way to pass. The northwest of Shousheng Hospital is also a deep stream, which is very spacious, including Jinsha Spring, Bailongquan and Heilongquan. In the past, the water potential was great, and the spring water merged into a deep pool, so it was also called Huanglongtan, Bailongtan and Heilongtan respectively. Further west is the ladder, the slope is steep and dangerous, and you have to crawl waist-high The cliffs on both sides are as narrow as axes. Looking up, you can only see the blue sky. There is a platform along the ladder, shaded by cypresses, where you can rest and watch the scenery. The southwest of Sanquan is black dragon Cave, with steep terrain, vertical confrontation between cliffs on both sides, steep mountains, winding valleys, shaded by ancient trees, and gloomy and secluded.

2. Buddha Jade Buddha Jade Scenic Area is located in the south of Longdong Mountain Scenic Area, surrounded by mountains, with lush trees, flowers and birds, clear springs, deep ancient temples and beautiful environment. Along the tree-lined path, through the trickle, walk about 1 km, and enter the open circular valley, commonly known as Luoquan Valley, which is the best place for the Buddha Jade Scenic Area. There is an ancient temple, the famous Bannuo Temple, on the cliff halfway up the mountain in Nanling Taishan, northern Shanxi. According to the inscription in Chenghua period of Ming Dynasty, the temple was built in the time of Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty. It has a history of more than 400 years. There are walls and courtyards around the temple, forming a quiet courtyard. On the south side of the road, there is a four-column and three-story wooden colored square, which is named for the Fogu Scenic Area. After passing the Mufang, you enter the mountain gate along the stone path, sitting on the cliff with a wing in the east and a corridor in the west, standing dangerously on the cliff. Under the promenade, there is a deep stream, a clear stream. Looking at the south by the railing, you can see the peaks and cliffs, and the walls are covered with green vines and wild flowers and weeds. In the north of the corridor, the stone cliff is as prominent as a mansion, and there is a primitive Buddhist temple under the cliff, which is sometimes hazy. The stone wall on the west side of the Buddhist temple is green with moss, and the clear spring washes jade in the crevices, slowly slides down and drips into the small pool of Baishi, forming a clear water called Luhua Spring, which is also called Ruxiao Spring because the water smells sweet and milky. In the past, monks in temples used this water to make tea. On the rock wall near the spring, there are six stone carvings of Miaoquanzao. On the trickle, the cliff fell, engraved with several Buddha statues, mostly works from the seventh year of Sui Kaidi (587) to the second year of Tang Dynasty (759), as well as stone carvings such as "Tang Jingang Club Monument" and "Ode to Stone Mile" carved by monks and believers in the temple in the second year of Tang Kaicheng (837) to commemorate this great monk. On the cliff, there are also big characters engraved in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, such as You Mei in Forest Canyon, Wonderland in Rock, unique caves, Spiritual Museum and so on. Fortunately, the cliff is steep and difficult to climb. These Buddha statues have not suffered bad luck, but they are still intact and have clear inscriptions. There are thousands of stone walls, wall clocks, stone flowers and stone curtains on the west side of the temple, which are very spectacular. On the east side of the temple, a dangerous rock was isolated. The summit is a platform. According to legend, Dayu once stopped here to control water, so it was called Yuwangtai, commonly known as Diaoyutai. There is a pavilion on the stage, surrounded by green cliffs, called Huancui Pavilion, also known as Tingpu Pavilion. Kannonji is faintly visible in the shade of trees facing south. In the pavilion, the breeze is cool and lush, which makes people relaxed and happy. On the rock wall on the east side of Huancui Pavilion, there is a spring named Lin Ji Spring. More than 60 meters north of the cliff, the cliff stands tall, and the water from the mountain spring pours down from the top of the cliff, forming a waterfall. The waterfall is huge and thin, and the spray beads float into the clear pool in front of the cliff, and then overflow in the winding canyon. If a mountain wind blows, the sound of the forest and the sound of the waves are intertwined and rumble like a tsunami.

3. Matiyu Matiyu is located in the northeast of Longdong Scenic Area, with gentle and open terrain, lush plants and various types, featuring secluded forests. There are Baiyun Temple, Lin You and Baiyun Cave in this area. In the valley, the clear spring is trickling, and the water is stored in a pool. The pool is full of green grass. There used to be a temple in Linchi called Baiyun Temple, with scattered houses and trees. There is a large area of dense forest on the east side of the pool, and the terrain is fluctuating. Deep in the dense forest, a mountain peak towering into the sky is called Baiyun Mountain. There is a Baiyun Cave at the steep cliff under the peak, and there is a clear water under the cave, which is Baiyun Spring. Deep holes and spring pools are hidden in dense forests.
