Seen from a distance, the rolling mountains in this area are like a lion standing on the ground with its head held high. The trees and bamboo forests on the mountain are uneven, covering the mountain, just like the curly hair on the lion. There are many natural caves in the mountains. During the Guangxu period, monks and Taoists came here one after another and used caves to build temples. Now there are 18 temples on the mountain, with morning bells and drums, which have become places for people to worship. From the moral gate between Kaizen Temple and Quanhuatang, after a long and steep stone step, you can reach the highest point of the whole mountain-Moon Pavilion. Sitting in the pavilion is sitting on the boundary line between Miaoli and Hsinchu counties, and you can enjoy the unique "lion head" scenery all year round and on a moonlit night. From the Moon Pavilion to the southwest, you can visit the "Lion" Zhu Yan Temple. The secluded Wanfo Temple, Konggeji with gurgling springs, Xialing Cave with Hakka architectural style, Haihui Temple imitating the four heavenly kings' halls in mainland China, and Fanyin Temple (water curtain cave), a large natural cave, are all must-see places for tourists. The Buddhist temples in Stone Mountain are beautifully built, and the temples are reflected among the green hills and trees, looming, and the Buddha's light and the mountains complement each other, casting a mysterious color on Stone Mountain. Shitou Mountain discourages going south from Miaoli Town and entering the mountain. There is a big stone near the mountain gate, about 13 meters high. It is like a lion sitting there, with its head held high, its chest raised, its paws in front, guarding the mountain pass. From Lion Head Rock to the mountain, there are "Rao Yi Yuan" (buddhist nun), Super Ascending Lingta, Guanyin Waterfall, Jing Qing Bridge and so on. All the way to the gate of the lion head temple. After crossing the gate, there are three famous temples adjacent to each other: the Auxiliary Temple of Heaven, the Kaizen Temple and the Quanhua Hall. The auxiliary tiangong was built in 19 15. The temple is dedicated to Tibetan kings, bodhisattvas and gods in charge of hell, and the portrait of "eighteen layers of hell" is hung on the wall, which is eerie. There is a 3-meter-high golden Sambo Buddha and a 1 meter-high Sakyamuni Buddha carved from pure jade, which is said to have been shipped from Yangon, Myanmar in the 1920s. The full set of Japanese carved Sanzang Scriptures with the moon hidden in the temple is an extremely precious cultural relic. Quanhuatang is the largest temple here, built on the mountain, and the main hall is halfway up the mountain, with three floors in total. The most prominent is the resplendent "Yuqing Palace", and Guan Gong is enshrined in the temple; On the left is Dacheng Hall, dedicated to Confucius; On the right is the Lei Yin Hall, dedicated to Guanyin Bodhisattva. It is said that Quanhuatang has three temples under its jurisdiction. Yuqing Palace symbolizes heaven, the opening of Zen Temple symbolizes Buddhism, and the auxiliary hall symbolizes hell. Trinity constitutes the most important tourist area of Stone Mountain. Named after Shitou Mountain, it is located in the southwest of Taipei Basin. Because the mountain is shaped like a lion crouching, it is called Stone Mountain. Stone Mountain, a tourist attraction in Taiwan Province Province, is located at the junction of Sanwan Township in Miaoli, Nanzhuang Township in Hsinchu and Emei Township. Its main peak is 492 meters above sea level, located in the southwest of Shitou Mountain. The mountains are green and beautiful, so they are named after the shape of a lion's head. 1990, the Tourism Bureau of the Ministry of Communications planned Shitou Mountain, Lishan Mountain and Bagua Mountain as "Shenshan National Scenic Area". Historical origin There is a sulfur cave city near Stone Mountain, which was settled by immigrants and built against the aborigines. Shizitou Mountain used to be the base of the Anti-Japanese Rebel Zhanfan and others. During the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese attacked many times. When the Japanese attacked, the insurgents retreated to the aborigines' big fort and Jiajiu nunnery. According to the records of temple history, before the Japanese came to Taiwan, Qiu Pujie, a big family from Taoyuan, came to Nanzhuang, and when he saw that Stone Mountain was a beautiful place, he lived in seclusion in a cave in the mountain and established the Kaiyuan Temple in the Stone Cave, which is the oldest temple in Stone Mountain. At the beginning of the establishment of Quanhuatang, it was planned to build three temples: heaven, hell and the west. After the completion of the Quanhua Temple, which represents the heaven, the auxiliary temple dedicated to the Tibetan king and bodhisattva and the Kaichan Temple dedicated to the three saints of the West were also established one after another, laying the foundation for Shitoushan Buddhism. There are many temples on the Stone Mountain, such as Haihui Temple, Xialing Cave, Jingang Cave and Sariputra Cave. Many temples are carved from natural caves, and the gods they believe in have developed from Buddhism and Bodhisattva to Taoist gods, Confucian saints and even animism, which can be described as the epitome of Taiwan's religion. Stone Mountain has been a mountain for a hundred years. Stone Mountain has long been a representative of Buddhist resorts in Taiwan. With the development of the times, it has become more and more solemn and ancient. Thanks to the subtle influence of religion, except for the artificial colors rendered by the main body of the temple, the surrounding ancient trees and forests are still intact; The traffic between the lion's head and the lion's tail depends on an ancient stone road paved with bluestone, which connects temples in series. With the ups and downs of the mountain, the ancient trees along the trail are lush, and the open area has comfortable vision and excellent prospects. The tree-lined room is also covered with stone lamp holders with a long history, covered with moss, which reminds people of the past; It is not only a secluded path leading to Buddhism and enlightenment, but also a popular hiking route. Stone Mountain preserves a complete forest, providing a habitat for all kinds of animals and plants, and the ancient road is also like an intellectual natural path. Birds are the most active natural resources in Stone Mountain. There are more than 70 recorded species of birds, about half of which are endemic or subspecies. Miaoli Bird Club set up a self-guided billboard near Quanhuatang to introduce these mountain elves in a simple way. Others are red-bellied squirrels and Taiwan macaques, which are also one of the aborigines of Stone Mountain. Stone Mountain, a tourist attraction and Buddhist resort in Taiwan Province Province, is a famous Buddhist holy place in the whole province. In the early years, it was listed as one of the 12 scenic spots in Taiwan Province Province, and together with Foguang Mountain in the south, it is currently the two major Buddhist holy places in Taiwan Province Province. Stone Mountain is full of strange rocks, green trees and steep boulders. Therefore, in the 18th year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty (AD 1892), Qiu Pujie, a businessman from Taoyuan, despised fame and fortune in his later years, so he set up a temple to worship Buddha in the present Lion Cave. Later, there were more than a dozen temples and temples along the mountain, which became Buddhist shrines in Bao Dao, such as Kaichan Temple, Haihui Temple and Xia Ling, which contained Japanese carved Tripitaka.
