Qingyuan Mountain Scenic Area

The destination on the second day of the Lunar New Year is Qingyuan Mountain and Kaiyuan Temple.

When you arrive in Quanzhou, Qingyuan Mountain is naturally a must-see attraction.

Qingyuan Mountain is a famous Taoist mountain, and the most worth seeing is the statue of Laozi at the foot of the mountain. However, we first drove to Tianhu Lake on the top of Qingyuan Mountain.

What is most touching is that even during the Spring Festival holiday, there are still very few tourists here. I heard from friends that the attractions in other places are purely for crowds. It seems that traveling to Quanzhou during the Spring Festival is a good choice.

Although it is called Tianhu Lake, it is actually a small reservoir with a few black swans swimming around. There is a small spring next to it that seems to be called Tiger Milk Spring. Some tourists bring bottles to collect spring water.

We drove to the foot of the mountain and visited the statue of Laozi. It was said to be carved from a whole piece of stone, about three or four meters high. I would like to give a thumbs up to the ancient craftsmen.

Qingyuan Mountain is indeed a good place to avoid the crowds and have fun.

Qingyuan Mountain is one of the 18 scenic spots in Quanzhou, and its main peak is only 498 meters above sea level. As the saying goes, "A mountain is not famous for its height, but for the immortals who live there." The "immortal" here is Laojun Rock. A natural giant rock shaped like an old man was carved into a seated statue of Laozi, a famous philosopher, thinker, and founder of Taoism in the Spring and Autumn Period, by folk craftsmen in the Northern Song Dynasty about a thousand years ago. When CCTV broadcast the weather forecast, the picture used in Quanzhou was Laojun Rock. There are not only Taoist buildings on Qingyuan Mountain, but also Buddhist and Islamic buildings. Therefore, the ancient city of Quanzhou is also known as the "World Religious Museum."

The environment is pretty good. After entering the scenic area, you can see Laojun Rock by walking up a few steps along the road on the left. It is very close. After seeing Laojun Rock, walk up to the stupa and statue of Master Hongyi, as well as the stone inscription of Master Hongyi's last words "mixed sorrow and joy". Going up is Qingyuan Lake. You can go down after reaching Qingyuan Lake. Don't go back the same way. Take the road to the First Mountain Stele. Or you can choose to go counterclockwise, go up from the road of the First Mountain Stele, and finally come down from Laojun Rock. It takes 4 and a half hours to walk a circle. The ticket is 70 yuan.

If I could spend a day in the mountains and enjoy a thousand years

When we reached the foot of the mountain, a strong Taoist music began to linger in our ears.

The sound of the guzheng has the tranquility of mountains and flowing water.

In the past few days, there has been drizzling rain in southern Fujian, which has continued from time to time.

The scenic area appears more peaceful, and the vegetation on the mountain becomes more lush.

Not far up, you will see the big stone statue of Laozi.

Located on the mountainside, surrounded by the fragrance of peaches and plums,

There are green trees behind and misty mountains.

At every iconic attraction, there are definitely tourists competing to take photos.

I finally managed to take a photo of myself.

When I looked back at this stone plaque, I felt a little messy!

I am the best in the world, No.1!



In addition to Laojun Rock, another place worth visiting is the stupa of Master Hongyi.

When I saw the memorial hall of Master Hongyi in Kaiyuan Temple, I was deeply moved.

At this moment, seeing the stone statue of Li Shutong and the stupa, I was almost speechless.

I always feel that he carries a sense of homesickness and loneliness after seeing through the world.

Perhaps, it was a farewell, a bright moon, giving up his wife and children to become a monk, and so on.

The feeling that Master Hongyi gave me was a kind of loneliness that went beyond compassion for the world.

When he passed away, he said that he was filled with mixed feelings of sadness and joy. What was the sadness? What was the joy?

I haven't realized it yet, so I feel a little embarrassed to make any comments. I'll just take it as my own opinion.

It is convenient to take the bus from the museum to Qingyuan Mountain. There are several buses anyway. Just take it to the terminal. Qingyuan Mountain is the first and only 5A-level scenic spot in Quanzhou, and the ticket price of Qingyuan Mountain is relatively high. I don’t know if the Laojun statue I want to see the most can meet this value. It can be said that the biggest highlight of the whole mountain is the Laojun Rock, which is the sculpture of Laozi. It is carved vividly and has a history of thousands of years. It is the largest, most skillful and oldest Taoist stone sculpture in my country. The first time I saw this statue was in the weather forecast of CCTV. Now I have seen it with my own eyes. I have to say that it is really imposing and the ticket is worth half of it. There is also the relic tower of Master Hongyi in the mountain, which has a deep connection with southern Fujian and is settled here. Inside the tower is a tearful ink painting made by Mr. Bi Feng Zikai, and in front of the tower is the master’s ink "Mixed Sorrow and Joy" before his death. In addition to seeing the cultural landscape and climbing exercises, Qingyuan Mountain is also a unique pleasure to drink tea in the mountain and eat and drink on the top of the mountain.

When I went to Quanzhou in 2013, I went to Qingyuan Mountain. The mountain is not very high and it took about half a day to visit.

It is a place worth visiting, whether it is for children or adults, it is a good place.

Qingyuan Mountain is quite large. I only walked the core route, which took about 2 hours. There are not enough signboards. It is recommended to also mark the distance to the next scenic spot.

The most praise-worthy thing in Qingyuan Mountain is the statue of Master Hongyi. From different angles, one can feel the master's solemn demeanor like a magnetic field effect, which makes people awe-inspiring!

Compared with many famous mountains and rivers in China, Qingyuan Mountain is not very high, with an altitude of only 531 meters, but it is also majestic and spectacular standing by the sea. It has been known as the "First Mountain of Penglai in Fujian Sea" since ancient times. After generations of development, it has left behind many cultural and historical sites of religions such as Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, Islam, and Manichaeism.

Qingyuan Mountain is a famous Taoist mountain, but the locals use it as a place to enjoy the night view, drink tea, and cool off at night. No admission fee is charged after 6:30 p.m.

The leisurely and contented mood in the night of Qingyuan Mountain is very rare. The more cultural a city is, the less it seems to take culture seriously, just like Nanjing people running at night in Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum and swimming in Zixia Lake. This state of taking culture for granted is very comfortable.

It is a landmark attraction in Quanzhou. In addition to viewing the cultural landscape and mountain climbing, drinking tea in the mountains and eating and drinking on the top of the mountain is also a unique pleasure. Stop and drink tea and slowly savor the culture of southern Fujian.

The entire scenic area is quite large. The Qingyuan Mountain Scenic Area is 40 li in radius and is adjacent to the mountain city of Quanzhou. It has attracted many overseas tourists. You can climb the mountain, breathe fresh air, visit the stupa of Master Hongyi, etc. Due to the tight schedule, we did not go to climb the mountain. But if you come here, you must do one thing, that is, post a circle of friends to locate it! ---- I am the best in the world!

Personally, I think the biggest feature of Qingyuan Mountain is Laojun Rock, which is the only stone statue of Laozi in the country. The other purpose of climbing is to see the West Lake in Quanzhou. If you don’t want to be tired, you can drive from the back mountain to Nantai Rock before 8 o’clock in the morning, and you can view it from a distance, and it’s free.

My friend suggested that we take a car to the top and then walk down. I refused with all my heart and said I wanted to climb up. My friend refused, so I had to give in. Fortunately, we didn't climb up. We were almost exhausted just from going down the mountain and visiting the scattered attractions inside the mountain.

We visited all the main scenic spots, such as Laojun Rock, Mituo Rock, Bixiao Rock, Ruixiang Rock, Tiger Milk Spring, Nantai Rock, Qingyuan Cave, Baizhangping, and Tianhu, with the feeling that we had to see them since we were here. These scenic spots are extremely scattered, and the roads connecting the scenic spots are very strange. You can't just go down the mountain, you have to go up and down, like a ghost wall. We went up the mountain at 9:30 in the morning, had lunch on the mountain at noon, walked and stopped, and went down the mountain at around 5 o'clock. At the end of the walk, I wanted to cry but had no tears, and I didn't feel anything for any of the scenic spots.

Listen to my advice: unless you are very good, ordinary fat guys like me who lack exercise should never challenge mountain climbing, it will really make you doubt your life. There are two types of cars to the top of the mountain, one to the reservoir and the other to the top of the mountain, but in fact it doesn't reach the top, you still have to climb. If you are as greedy as us and want to see as many points as possible, you must take the car to the top. This car runs every half an hour from 9 am. Don't go up the mountain too late, it will be unsafe.

The original ticket price is 70, and with a student ID, it is half price. I walked up from Laojunyan Road. If you drive, there is another route from the parking lot. You can follow the tour route on the map, or go to the points of interest by yourself, and you don’t have to go to all of them. FBI WARNINGS: 1. Bring water and food before going up the mountain (you may get hungry while walking). Although there are several small shops on the mountain, there is no one for a long section of the road. I ran out of water in the second half of the journey, and I didn’t encounter any small shops, so I bought water at the exit when I went down the mountain. 2. You can wear a hat to block the sun (most of Qingyuan Mountain is covered with plants, and there is only a short section of the road with sun), and you can also fan yourself when it is hot (it is actually a little hot when walking, and it is still quite cool inside the mountain). You must wear comfortable flat shoes. I actually saw an aunt wearing high heels on the way, which really impressed me. 3. Warm up before going up the mountain and adjust the speed slowly. There is a long section of stairs in the middle. You don’t know the despair of thinking that the top is flat, but it turns out to be a higher stair. The stair made me feel tired and my heart beat abnormally. When a person walks alone in the mountains, all unhappy things will disappear and the soul will be cleansed.

I arrived at Qingyuan Mountain early in the morning. There were no densely packed tourists, only a few locals who came to exercise. I chose Route 2 to climb the mountain. It took me five hours to climb the mountain. Not a single inch of my clothes was dry. The road signs were unclear, and I took the wrong road several times. I met an old man who was in good shape, breathless, and calm. Under his guidance, I finally reached the top successfully. The moment I overlooked the panoramic view of Quanzhou, my heart was filled with a sense of transcendence and tranquility.

Enjoy the steep slope and climb up the steps; enjoy the view from the top; enjoy the infinite scenery, the pain and joy. 29091 steps, 108 floors, how about it, okay?

You don't need to buy tickets to Qingyuan Mountain before 7 o'clock. There are local residents doing morning exercises. The sign in front of the mountain gate marks the route to the mountain, and you can ask the driver to drive up the mountain, but we chose the foot of the mountain and climbed by ourselves~ Along the way, we saw palm-sized jade butterflies laying eggs on the roadside, picked them up and put them on the big tree; saw huge colorful spiders weaving webs; saw swans embracing each other to show their love; saw wild longans all over the mountains waiting for people to pick them, very sweet; saw the mighty roosters crowing domineeringly... The ecology and air on Qingyuan Mountain are good. Feeling nature and relaxing your mind makes the trip lively and interesting~

Qingyuan Mountain, ticket price is 70, and you can take the scenic area bus for free.

Qingyuan Mountain is actually very large. It takes about 6 hours to visit the entire mountain. Due to time constraints, we only took the most classic Laojun Rock-Master Hongyi's Relic Pagoda-First Mountain's smallest loop, which took about 1.5 hours.

Friends who are interested in taking the whole route can refer to this bee friend’s detailed guide:

http://www.mafengwo.cn/i/6486944.html

Stop 130: Qingyuan Mountain in Quanzhou. AAAAA, 80 tickets, no inspection required. Qingyuan Mountain is the birthplace of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism. The mountain is not high, but it is magical. In the summer, the pine forests under the sun are as green as deep blue, as green as clear blue, and the cliffs are emerald green, with sunshine. Come here only to pray for longevity, and pray devoutly, hoping to get what you want. 

Don't go hiking. If you buy a ticket, you will get a shuttle bus. It will make you vomit blood.

Qingyuan Mountain is the first and only 5A-level scenic spot in Quanzhou, and it is a landmark attraction in Quanzhou. I came here as a standard tourist! I must go there too! The 70 yuan ticket made me hesitate. My bee friend said that it was free to enter the mountain before 6:30 (the information on the Internet is always different from the actual situation, so I confirmed it with the hostel owner at the entrance of Qingyuan Mountain Scenic Area). So, I got up early and entered the mountain for free. The scenery on the road was average, and there were many stone carvings by calligraphers along the way. It was also a great satisfaction to be able to overlook the city of Quanzhou.

This is a very bad 5A scenic spot. The 70 yuan ticket is not worth it. Tianhu Lake is just a half-finished artificial lake. There is not even a little spring. There are three black swans next to a restaurant. The scenic spot special bus runs every half an hour, with a total of two buses running in opposite directions. It is included in the ticket. It stops for an hour at noon. If you miss it, you have to take a long detour. The only thing is that Laojun Rock is old and worth the ticket. I will never come again, and I will not let my relatives and friends come

It's just on the edge of the city. Due to time constraints, I took the bus and entered through the side door (saving the entrance fee).

Walking up the mountain road, I only met one passerby on the road, which made me very puzzled.

We didn't go to see the attractions, but to eat delicious food at the top of the mountain! Various Minnan snacks, and a pot of tea... There are many flower shops at the foot of the mountain. You can go in and take a look. There are many flowers. Each pot costs 10 yuan and you can take them all away.

It's worth a visit, the scenery is nice, and the ticket price for seniors is only 30 yuan.

It's so weird to go there in the middle of the night

Mountain biking

The ticket to Qingyuan Mountain is 70 yuan, which I personally don't think is worth it. The ticket includes the cost of the shuttle bus up and down the mountain. It happened to be foggy that day, and it felt like a fairyland~

Qingyuan Mountain National Key Scenic Area is one of the 18 scenic spots in Quanzhou and is also a national key scenic spot. It consists of three major areas: Qingyuan Mountain, Jiuri Mountain, and Lingshan Holy Tomb, with a total area of ​​62 square kilometers. The Qingyuan Mountain Scenic Area is 40 miles in radius, with the main peak 498 meters above sea level. It is adjacent to the mountain city of Quanzhou and has attracted many overseas tourists.

Since ancient times, Qingyuan Mountain National Key Scenic Area has been famous for its 36 caves and 18 scenic spots, among which Laojun Rock, Qianshou Rock, Mituo Rock, Bixiao Rock, Ruixiang Rock, Tiger Milk Spring, Nantai Rock, Qingyuan Cave, and Cien Rock are particularly famous.

I guess you can only see a statue of Laojun in this place. You can take a bus to Nantai, which is said to be the top of the mountain. There you can see the Nantai Temple, then walk down the mountain for more than 2 hours and see the Tianhu Lake. It is really very ordinary. The mountain road is very ordinary, and the scenery is also very ordinary. It is no different from any other mountain in the city. If you really want to go, I suggest you take a scenic bus to the top of the mountain, take a walk around and then take the bus down the mountain to see the statue of Laojun. This way you won't be too tired.

It is a very interesting place, mostly with stone sculptures and many man-made landscapes, which are suitable for taking photos. Laojun Rock is not to be mentioned. There is also a stupa built after the death of Master Hongyi. Although the Tianchi on the top of the mountain is man-made, it is also a good place to take a panoramic view of Quanzhou.

The first time I went there, I didn't expect it to be around midnight. It was snowing on the mountain. Many people went there. I followed them. It was so tiring to climb. There were only a few snowflakes on the mountain. For those who have seen heavy snow, it was just for fun. The important thing is that there is no ticket at night. But there is not much scenery to see, except for the fragmented night view. It is also 5A Zhangjiajie. I give it five stars because it is free!

Buy one get one free off-season tickets for a large mountain for 35 yuan

Convenient transportation, very close to the city. The facilities are very good, the scenery is average, the highlights are Laojun Rock at the foot of the mountain and Tianhu Lake on the mountain.

Qingyuan Mountain has been famous for its 36 caves and 18 scenic spots since ancient times, among which Laojun Rock, Qianshou Rock, Mituo Rock, Bixiao Rock, Ruixiang Rock, Tiger Milk Spring, Nantai Rock, Qingyuan Cave and Cien Rock are particularly famous.

Qingyuan Mountain Scenic Area is a national key scenic spot. It houses the seated statue of Laozi, the founder of Taoism, Laojun Rock. The Laojun statue is listed as a national key cultural relic and is a unique artistic treasure among Chinese Taoist stone carvings. The stone statue is 5.63 meters high, 6.85 meters thick, 8.01 meters wide and covers an area of ​​55 square meters. As it is the largest, most skilled and oldest Taoist stone sculpture in China, people in the literary and historical circles jokingly call it "the best in the world for Laozi", which is quite true.

The scenery of Qingyuan Mountain is quite good, especially the view of Tianchi Lake at the highest point, which is quite beautiful. There is also Laojun Rock, which has a sense of history.

Since ancient times, Qingyuan Mountain National Key Scenic Area has been famous for its 36 caves and 18 scenic spots, among which Laojun Rock, Qianshou Rock, Mituo Rock, Bixiao Rock, Ruixiang Rock, Tiger Milk Spring, Nantai Rock, Qingyuan Cave, and Cien Rock are particularly famous.

As a holy land of Taoism, Fujian has always been the best place for the integration of the three religions

I don’t like mountain climbing, but after searching for attractions in Quanzhou, this one ranked high, so I finally decided to give it a try.



We called a special car directly from Dongxing Beef Restaurant and were lucky enough to meet a passionate local driver from Fujian who took us directly to the top of the mountain.



I thought it wouldn't be too difficult to walk down the mountain, but a collapsed signpost halfway forced me to walk more than a kilometer uphill.



I guess the signpost was blown down by the previous typhoon. However, it is difficult to use Baidu Maps to determine the direction on the mountain road, and then... I was tired...



At that time, we probably didn't even reach the halfway point of the mountain, and then we just walked down a path of stone steps, one step at a time, which was actually much more tiring than walking on a broken road.



We were almost at Qingyuan Tianhu, which is a popular place. A black car said it would take us down the mountain for 100 yuan. The downhill lane would not pass by the scenic spot, but since we were already there, we decided to insist on walking on our own.



By the way, there is a mailbox here at "Qingyuan Tianhu", but I haven't received any postcards since I sent them in. I guess no one has opened the mailbox. Alas...



Personally, I think that if you are not physically fit, you should not challenge yourself to walk down from the top of the mountain. It is really tiring. Normally, you can enter from the entrance of the scenic area, climb to Laojun Rock and then go down the mountain. This journey is affordable for most people, but compared with the ticket price, it is not cost-effective.



Laojun Rock is a place that all tourist groups come to. It is very user-friendly and has a disabled walkway designed so that wheelchairs can be pushed up there. I give it a thumbs up.

The pagoda of Master Hongyi is worth recommending, and Laojun Rock is the largest Taoist sculpture in China.

The scenic spots are nice, but many roads are damaged and you can't enter some scenic spots. You can only go back the same way, which affects your mood for sightseeing. I feel that the 70 yuan ticket is not worth it.

Qingyuan Mountain, which is known as "the most beautiful mountain in the southeast", is a national key scenic spot and the first AAAAA-level scenic spot in Quanzhou. It is located in the north of Quanzhou City and southeast of Quanzhou Railway Station. It is famous for its 36 caves and 18 scenic spots, including Laojun Rock, Qianshou Rock, Mituo Rock, Bixiao Rock, Ruixiang Rock, Huruquan, Nantai Rock, Qingyuan Cave, etc. It consists of three parts: Qingyuan Mountain, Jiuri Mountain, and Lingshan Holy Tomb, with a total area of ​​62 square kilometers and the main peak is 498 meters above sea level. It was first developed in the Qin Dynasty, became a religious holy place in southern Fujian in the Tang Dynasty, and was praised as "the first mountain of Penglai in Fujian" in the Yuan Dynasty.

In Qingyuan Mountain, I only admire two statues. One is the statue of Lao Tzu with a history of thousands of years. The huge statue gives people a sacred feeling. The native Chinese religion was founded by this saint; the other is the statue of Master Hongyi in recent years. In front of him, we will slowly forget our own existence and ask ourselves some things that we dare not touch in our hearts. It is very touching.

Qingyuan Mountain National Key Scenic Area is one of the 18 scenic spots in Quanzhou. It is a national key scenic spot. It consists of three major areas: Qingyuan Mountain, Jiuri Mountain, and Lingshan Holy Tomb. The main peak is 498 meters above sea level. The entire scenic area includes: Laojun Rock, Qianshou Rock, Mituo Rock, Bixiao Rock, Ruixiang Rock, Tiger Milk Spring, Nantai Rock, Qingyuan Cave, Ci'en Rock and other attractions. Online tickets are 60 yuan.

After a whole day of climbing the mountain, the scenery was really great. The higher we climbed, the more surprises we had. When we were going down the mountain, there was no car yet, so we rented a small tricycle. Haha, it was a real-life version of Lost in Thailand. We were tired but happy.

When you come to Quanzhou, you must visit Qingyuan Mountain! Qingyuan Mountain is full of culture and history. When you come to Qingyuan Mountain, you will be full of history. Qingyuan Mountain integrates various religious monuments such as Buddhism, Islam, Taoism, etc. When you come here, you will see the breadth and breadth of Quanzhou! You can also choose to have a tea break on the mountain, which feels great!

The full ticket is 70 yuan. If you don't have any special obsession, you don't have to come. It's expensive... But the view of the city from the mountain is still great! I checked the guide and took bus No. 28 to Tianhu Lake and went down the mountain. This saved me the hard work of climbing the mountain! Hahaha!

Attached is the timetable for bus No. 28, which runs every two hours. I took the bus at the Donghu Park station, so the arrival times may be different.

It is nice to go to Qingyuan Mountain in the afternoon. You can enjoy the warm sunshine all the way down to the foot of the mountain. The light is just right to shine on the statue of Laozi, who is number one in the world. ⁄(⁄ ⁄ ⁄ω⁄ ⁄ ⁄)⁄

I didn't go to Chengtian Lake. I went up from Laojun Rock. Not long after I walked, I was reminded that there was a landslide ahead and I had to take a detour. After taking a detour, I finally went down the mountain.

A well-known Taoist holy place and a famous cultural mountain in China. There are caves and blessed places where immortals practice Taoism everywhere in Qingyuan Mountain. It can be said that a mountain is famous not because of its height, but because of the immortals. This trip to Qingyuan Mountain is mainly for this pilgrimage to seek immortals and ask for the way.

The ticket price is 80. Qingyuan Mountain is one of the 18 scenic spots in Quanzhou and is also a 5A-level scenic spot. There are too many priceless treasures in the Nantai Temple on the top of the mountain to list. Looking into the distance, you can see half of Quanzhou City. In the Tianhu Scenic Area, you can see the sparkling water, the mountains and trees on the lakeside are reflected in the lake, and a few swans are dotted in between. The most important thing is that we can take a direct bus to so many beautiful scenery, saving the hardship of climbing, and there are beautiful guides to accompany us. It is very nice to see the scenery and gain knowledge.

Qingyuan Mountain is a 5A scenic spot with unique features. The statue of Laozi is majestic! Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism coexist. The statue of Master Hongyi is kind and vivid, and the handwriting "mixed sorrow and joy" and "no dust" are engraved on the stone. The statue of Nanyan Temple on the top of the mountain is very majestic and has a strong incense. The stone carving "Who am I" in the courtyard makes people feel melancholy and seem to have an epiphany...

Located on the edge of the city, the transportation is convenient. The mountain is not high, but it is very steep and it is very strenuous to climb. There is a lake on the top of the mountain. The most famous thing about Qingyuan Mountain is the statue of Laozi at the foot of the mountain, which is lifelike and has a history of thousands of years. You can overlook the whole picture of Quanzhou City when you climb to the top of the mountain. There are several small restaurants on the mountain, which are not expensive and taste good. It is miserable to go down the mountain. There are no cars along the road from the lake on the top of the mountain. It took 2 hours to get to the bottom of the mountain.

Qingyuan Mountain is a 5A-level tourist attraction in Quanzhou, so if you go to Quanzhou, it is still worth a visit if time permits. The ticket also includes the two attractions of Lingshan Holy Tomb and Jiuri Mountain, so you have to start climbing the mountain early, otherwise the ticket is valid for the day and you may not have time to visit these places. Some places on the mountain are not visited by many people, so there are fewer stalls, so it is best to bring your own dry food and water. In addition, the view of Quanzhou from the mountain is also very good, so if you have time, you can also go to Baizhangping to have a look. It is a very empty place, slightly inferior to Wuyi Mountain in that there is no winding water, only a Qingyuan Tianhu, but you can see many black swans.

Climb at night, free of charge, no view of the scenery, there are several shops on the mountain that serve local snacks, the business is very good, and they are delicious, recommended

I bought the ticket on Qunar.com, which was a few yuan cheaper. The total price was about 50 yuan. I was a little shocked when I saw Laojun Rock. There are many places where you can see the panoramic view of Quanzhou.

It's quite big inside. I couldn't finish the tour in one morning. When I was going down the mountain, I saw a local on a motorcycle and asked him to give me a ride down the mountain.

Qingyuan Mountain is a must-see attraction in Quanzhou, a 400-meter-high lush back garden of Quanzhou. It happened to be a mountain climbing activity on Saturday. A group of people lined up at the entrance of the mountain to stretch their muscles. What's more, their uniforms looked very similar to mine, so I wanted to sneak in and get free tickets.

There are both Buddhist and Taoist temples on Qingyuan Mountain. Taoism is probably more famous because you can see Laojun Rock, which is known as "the best in the world", not far from the top of the mountain. The first half is also dominated by Taoist architecture and legends. Climbing up the steps on the park-like path, the scenic area also plays music attentively. I don't know whether it is ancient music or modern music, mainly guqin accompanied by ethereal female voices, which is soothing to listen to. From time to time, you have to stop and close your eyes to appreciate it. When other tourists have gone far away, there are only elegant piano sounds and songs and the whistling of the refreshing mountain breeze in the mountains and forests. I have the urge to become a monk.

Qingyuan Mountain is not very impressive in terms of peaks. It is also because I just climbed Huangshan Mountain, so I don’t care about other mountains. Qingyuan Mountain is full of Buddhist and Taoist relics and cliff carvings. You can also climb up to see Quanzhou. The most impressive thing is Laojun Rock and Master Hongyi’s stupa. Li Shutong was a rich young man when he was young, a talented scholar in his youth, and became a master of the Vinaya School in his middle age. Why did the celebrities of that era achieve success in everything they did and become great people? I really envy them. Instead, I feel like I am just a person who wanders around doing nothing all day.

Mountain climbing is my hobby. Yes, you can go up the mountain to see the minotaur.

Qingyuan Mountain is a beautiful mountain and also a Taoist holy mountain. There is a stone statue of Laozi, the stupa of Master Hongyi, and various stone carvings.

Laojun Rock in Qingyuan Mountain is the largest, oldest and most skillfully carved large-scale Taoist stone statue in my country, and is known as "the best Laozi in the world".

When you come to Quanzhou, you must visit the beautiful Qingyuan Mountain, which is known as the "No. 1 Mountain in Penglai, Fujian".

"Shizhi Rock", "Mituo Rock" and "Thousand-Hand Rock" enshrine the "Three Holy Ones of the West" in the Buddhist world - Amitabha Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva and Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva.

Religious phenomena like Qingyuan Mountain, where "three saints gather in one mountain", are extremely rare in the country.

Although Qingyuan Mountain is only about 500 meters high, some wooden plank roads are difficult to walk on, and it is difficult for the elderly to climb. If time does not allow, you can climb to the "Quanku Waterfall Viewing Point" and then return (about 150 meters). Going up further, the scenic spot is divided into two parts, and you can't have both, and it's tiring. In this way, you can walk and play at the same time, and 2-3 hours is enough.

The scenery was pretty good, but the weather was cold that day and we didn't have enough time, so we had to turn back halfway up the mountain. Otherwise, it would have been troublesome before dark. I think we should go early to climb the mountain, arrange enough time, and bring water and food.

I walked back from the mountain along the road for more than ten kilometers and felt very comfortable.

A 5A scenic spot in the city. We arrived at 3 pm and walked around for about 4 hours.

It's just an ordinary mountain, not very high, relatively easy to climb, with a Qingyuan Lake on top, which is pretty good.

The road signs were not clear, so one had to keep looking for the way. The stairs were also poorly built and very slippery to walk on.

I saw it online and went there in March this year. It was picturesque.

I wanted to go early and climb down from the entrance of Tianhu Lake directly to the top of the mountain, but I missed the bus No. 28 (it only runs once every hour and I couldn't wait). So I bought a ticket from the mountain gate and went in. The scenery is pretty good. You can directly see the panoramic view of Quanzhou in many places. It is especially beautiful when the weather is good. The road before Mituoyan is relatively easy to walk, and there is a wooden plank road. But Mituoyan is a very steep stone staircase (starting from the waterfall), which is a bit tiring to climb up, and it is a gentle slope afterwards. If you have good physical strength, one and a half hours is enough to go up and down the mountain. I saw someone say that the instructions of the scenic spot were not very good before, but I think it's okay this time. There are instructions at the fork. But the ticket price has also increased, 70 for a full ticket and 35 for a half ticket.

It is very suitable for self-driving, but I think it is a bit unreasonable to buy a pass and charge a separate fee for each parking lot. Qingyuan Mountain has a great scenery, and you can overlook the panoramic view of Quanzhou. The huge rocks on the mountain are also very unique. In Sichuan dialect, "I am the best in the world" is also very interesting!

The bus was able to get there, and the scenery was beyond my imagination, but mainly the sunset that day was infinitely beautiful.

I had heard of this place of Laozi a long time ago, so I listed this place as a must-do for my trip to Quanzhou, Fujian. To be honest, the statue of Laozi in this mountain is a bit small compared to the magnificent one I have seen in the pictures, but it is said to be the largest sitting statue of Laozi. It is estimated to be no more than 5 or 6 meters. The years have left traces on it, showing a sense of vicissitudes. It's just that the crowd was really bustling at that time, so it was basically difficult to consider the composition when taking pictures, so I could only let Laozi sit cross-legged on the bottom frame of the photo. In addition to this statue of Laozi, Qingyuan Mountain also has many relics of Xuanzang, and many scenic spots that sound quite vicissitudes. But because of the Lan's meat dumplings in the bell tower the day before yesterday, my stomach suddenly stopped working when I was preparing to climb the mountain, so I didn't climb to the top of Qingyuan Tianhu as expected, and I can only leave it for next time. It can be regarded as a small regret of this trip.

It's a nice place with all kinds of strange rocks, cliff carvings, and temples. Climbing the mountain is not too tiring. There are many buses to the city, so you don't have to worry about it. I suggest you go to Ruixiangyan first, then to Tianhu, and then to Shizhangping from Tianhu.

Finally, we walked down the mountain towards Mituoyan, Qianshouyan, and Laojunyan, which was equivalent to walking in the opposite direction of ordinary tourists. Not only did we avoid tourists to the greatest extent, but it was also much easier to go down the mountain. If you are tired, there are cars going down the mountain at Tianhu Lake, or you can go up the mountain to Tianhu Lake and walk down the mountain. I walked the whole way, the farthest I went was Shizhangping, and I walked very slowly, which took five hours. If you only visit the core area, it would probably only take two or three hours.

There is nothing special about it, and there are too few road signs. I suggest you don't go there on purpose because it is too remote and closed, and no one maintains it.

It feels okay! Climbing the mountain is a bit tiring. When I climbed to the top of the mountain, it rained heavily and I couldn't get down the mountain. It was painful. I felt that the ticket was a bit expensive, 70 yuan, 50 is about right.

There is a famous stone statue of Laozi, and the remains of Master Hongyi on the top. If you are interested in calligraphy, Qingquan Mountain is a famous mountain with many masterpieces of calligraphy by famous calligraphers!

The ticket price is 70 now, which is a bit expensive, but the environment is very good, with towering ancient trees, few people, and very quiet.

Qingyuan Mountain National Key Scenic Area is one of the 18 scenic spots in Quanzhou and is also a national key scenic spot. It consists of three major areas: Qingyuan Mountain, Jiuri Mountain, and Lingshan Holy Tomb, with a total area of ​​62 square kilometers. The Qingyuan Mountain Scenic Area is 40 miles in radius, with the main peak 498 meters above sea level. It is adjacent to the mountain city of Quanzhou and has attracted many overseas tourists.

It was not bad, but I was a little tired after walking. I haven't climbed a mountain for a long time.

Qingyuan Mountain is the back mountain of Quanzhou. I climb it several times a year to exercise my body. I always feel open-minded when I reach the top!

Surrounded by greenery, beautiful scenery, very relaxing

If you have enough time, it's worth a good walk.

This time I mainly went to see Laojun Rock. Laojun's very peaceful smile really has a special magic that makes people calm.

There is a platform on the south mountain, a small rope bridge on the right fork, and a great view point on the left side of the temple on the top of the mountain, which should not be missed.
