Hometown Shandong? Qingzhou Yunmen Mountain

Yunmen Mountain is located 2 kilometers south of Qingzhou, Weifang City, Shandong Province, with an altitude of 42 1 m. Although it is not high, the cliffs are steep, the mountains are towering, the pines and cypresses are clustered, and the mountains and rivers are scattered, just like a huge bonsai placed in the south of the city. It has formed a unique style with its beautiful and handsome posture and special geographical environment.

There is a natural cave on the top of the mountain-Yunmen Cave, which runs north and south. This cave is about 3m high, 4m wide and 6m deep. The distance is like a mirror hanging high in the sky, and the arch wall is inlaid. Every summer and autumn, mist fills the air and passes through the hole. The pavilions at the top of the mountain are supported on the rolling sea of clouds, just like a fairyland, so it is called "Cloud Gate Wonderland", also known as "Cloud Gate Arch Wall", which is one of the scenic spots in ancient Qingzhou, hence the name of Yunmen Mountain.

I've been looking forward to seeing the wonders of clouds piercing holes. After a rain in summer, I came to Qingzhou with Mr. Bense and my photographer friend "Fool". In the evening, I arrived in Qingzhou and stayed in a hotel at the foot of Yunmen Mountain. The next day, before dawn, I started climbing in the dark with my photographic equipment on my back and my headlights on.

I'm not lonely on the way to climb the mountain. Many tourists come to climb the mountain for exercise. After passing the Wangshou Pavilion halfway up the mountain, we finally reached the top of the mountain in about 40 minutes. At this time, the eastern sky has begun to shine slightly.

First, I went to Langfeng Pavilion, which is located at the east peak of Yunmen, with the highest peak at 388 meters above sea level. Lang Feng Pavilion was built in the Yuan Dynasty and destroyed by the war. Rebuilt in 1984, it is an important part of Yunmen Mountain. Standing in Langfeng Pavilion overlooking Qingzhou City, a cool breeze blows gently on Yunmen Mountain in summer, and many tourists come here to enjoy the cool.

The main peak of Yunmen Mountain is called "Ding Dayun", which looks like a fish beam and runs east-west. Many temples and palaces have been built. On the top of the mountain, there is the palace of "Dongyue Emperor" and the sacrifice of "Mother Taishan". Ding Dayun is a cliff hundreds of meters wide from east to west. There are east and west wind pavilions at both ends, and there are landscapes such as "Yunmen Wonderland" stone tablet, Xu Yingmen, Fairy and Jade Palace, and Jade Emperor Hall. According to historical records, there were Bi Xia Temple, Guandi Temple, Lingguan Temple and East-West Langfeng Pavilion on the top of the mountain before the Ming Dynasty, and there were Gift Hall, Idle Cloud Pavilion and Liumao Pavilion in the Qing Dynasty. On the eve of liberation, most of the buildings on the mountain were destroyed by the war, leaving only the remains. Xu Yingmen, Sanyuan Hall, The Fairy Temple and East-West Langfeng Pavilion were rebuilt.

Yin Shan has a huge seal cutting word "shou", which is rare at home and abroad. It is said that this word is also the source of the allusion "Longevity is better than Nanshan". The word "shou" is rigorous, dignified and generous, facing south, 7.5 meters high and 3.7 meters wide. The word "inch" at the bottom alone is 2.22 meters high, which is beyond the reach of big men, so there are local sayings that "life is better than Nanshan" and ". The word "Shou" was written by Ji Yang, the general manager of Hengwangfu during Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty.

Cloud Gate Wonderland has always been a favorite place of Buddhism and Taoism. Yang Shan has five grottoes and 272 stone carvings, mainly three pairs of statues in the west, and two Buddha statues of Lux and Sakyamuni.

On the east side behind Yunmen Mountain, there is the "Wanchun Cave" built by Zhou Quan of Hengwangfu in Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty. The cave height 1.6m, the cave width 1.2m and the depth outside the cave 5m. There is a stone statue of Chen Tuan in the south of the cave, an old man sleeping with a book on his pillow, and two empty platforms in the north. Chen Tuan, whose name is Fu Yaozi, is from Zhenyuan, Bozhou. Above the head of Chen Tuan's stone carving, there is a poem "Song of Mountain Residence" inscribed by the hermit Xue Yun in Ming Dynasty: "Wild Suqing Cave, hat set in Haidong. White clouds rise at night, and Mo Guanlong comes to bed to sleep. " There is a legend among local people that "Chen Tuan slept for 800 years".

The weather is not strong and the sky is gloomy. I haven't seen the clouds passing through the cave, leaving regret. I look forward to coming to Yunmen Mountain next time.

Tip: Yunmen Mountain gets up early to climb the mountain without a ticket, there is no accommodation on the mountain, and there are hotels and restaurants at the foot of the mountain. It takes about 30-50 minutes to climb the mountain.
