Tourism development in Shilai Town

1. Ancient Ginkgo. There are three ginkgo trees in the temple, standing in a tripod shape. Among the three ginkgo trees, the middle one is particularly majestic, with a height of 39 meters and a chest circumference of 9.6 meters. The tree crown covers an area of ??1.28 acres, which is rare in the world. According to experts, this tree has a history of more than 3,000 years. It is known as the "King of Ginkgo" and the second in Shandong (first in Ju County). Ginkgo is one of the oldest tree species. It grows with cycads, pines and cypresses. During the prosperous period of dinosaurs in the Mesozoic Era, they were known as today’s “living fossils” and could be described as national treasures.

2. General’s Village. One hundred meters southwest of the Shilainan River Bridge, there is an earthen platform with a height of more than 50 meters and an area of ??more than ten acres. According to legend, it was the camp where Du Que, the white-horse general in "The Romance of the West Chamber", guarded the pass. When Sun Feihu was trapped in Pujiu Temple (today's Longtan Temple in Muchangyu Township), Zhang Sheng sent a letter asking for help. General Baima led his army to rescue the siege, and it was from here that he sent troops. In the past few years, villagers unearthed weapons, gold seals, ancient pottery and other cultural relics here, proving that this place was indeed a military camp in the past.

3. Diaoyutai. Located on the east bank of the river 300 meters west of the temple, the platform is about 30 meters high and 100 meters long. There is an abyss under the platform, five or six meters deep. Looking from afar, the blue water is clear and sparkling, which is amazing. On the cliff at the top of the Diaoyutai, green cypresses are twisted and twisted, like countless blue dragons leaning out of the cliff, adding to the splendor of the Diaoyutai.

4. Life release pool. Located in the southeast corner of the temple, it is several acres wide and is surrounded by stone barriers. The water in the pool is clear and fish swim in the shallow bottom. There is a "Sutra Building" in the center of the pool, about two meters high. Mysterious and mysterious.

5. Wolong Cypress. In the Tongtian Valley in the north of the temple, there is a cliff in the back and a stream in the west. It is more than ten meters long and looks like a dragon lying in the stream. Whenever the sun shines or the evening falls, the clouds surge and the waves rush, like a giant dragon emerging from the sky. From a distance, it looks like a mane dancing in a poplar bun, disappearing and reappearing, with giant claws appearing and disappearing, and the scales stopping when they are about to move. It is really a great spectacle.

6. Stone Monkey Slope. About two miles north of the temple, there is a rocky slope with strange rocks that look like monkeys, standing, sitting, lying, or walking, like a group of monkeys playing, lifelike and pleasing to the eye. There are two large stone monkeys on the north slope, which are well-behaved. Clever, one was destroyed, and now only one remains.

7. Ancient well. There is an ancient well in the temple. It is said that the water in the well contains a variety of trace elements and drinking it can cure diseases and prolong life. According to legend, in ancient times, eminent monks from other places came to this well to get water to boil medicine and practice elixirs. The "Yimu Ointment" made by the monks from this well was very effective. Women from far and near came here to worship Buddha and ask for medicine, and the supply was temporarily in short supply.

8. Sophora cypress. There is a wonder in the east of the temple - Sophora cypress. The tree is 16 meters high and more than 50 centimeters in diameter. A cypress tree, about seven meters high, grew from the gap at the lower end of the ancient locust tree. It is said that the Virgin Mother held a hundred (cypress) sons in her arms, came to the world to help all living beings, and later transformed into this tree.

9. Shuanglongtan. Next to the road leading to the White Horse Temple in the north of the temple, the Black Erlong Pool is formed by spring water. In the past few years, the town government allocated funds to build pools and rebuilt two pools. The water in the pools is more than five meters deep. The green water is sweet and refreshing. Drinking it is refreshing and refreshing.

10. White horse eyes. On the top of Mount E in the east of the temple, there is a rock peak that looks like a horse's head. It raises its head to the south, as if it is raising its neck and neighing. There is a white horse "horse eye" on each side of the horse's head and face, which is as big as a grinding plate and can be seen from Surabaya City dozens of miles away. It is said that in the past, southerners dug out one of the horse's eyes (treasures), and now only one eye remains.
