From Xinglong Terrace in Panjin to Yiwulu Mountain in Jinzhou North Town

On the highway, I bought a bus to Beining at Xinglongtai Bus Terminal. After getting off the bus, there will be a tricycle and a taxi to Yiwulu Mountain.

Yiwulu Mountain, referred to as "Green Mountain" for short, is located 5 kilometers northwest of Beizhen County, with a longitudinal length of 45 kilometers, a horizontal width of 14 kilometers and an area of 630 square kilometers. It is a national nature reserve, with its main peak, Wanghaishan, 867 meters high. Since the Sui Dynasty, this mountain has become the "northern town" of the "four major towns and mountains", thus gaining fame. When the emperors of Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties ascended the throne, they all went to Beizhen Temple at the foot of the mountain as usual to offer sacrifices to this mountain, so their reputation grew day by day and they became the first of the famous mountains in Northeast China.

The emperors of all previous dynasties have given titles to Lushan Mountain: in the Tang Dynasty, it was called "Guangning Gong", in the Jin Dynasty, it was called "Guangning Zhende King", and in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was called "the God of Witches". Six emperors of Liao Dynasty came to Lushan Mountain for more than 40 times to worship their ancestors, where three emperors of Liao Dynasty and more than 20 empresses and ministers were buried. Emperor Kangxi, yongzheng emperor, Emperor Qianlong, Emperor Jiaqing, and Daoguang of the Qing Dynasty visited Lushan Mountain several times, and left more than 50 poems and songs.

For thousands of years, Lushan Mountain has been a place where Buddhism and Taoism cultivate themselves and worship mountain gods. Taoist temples are distributed in an orderly way, and pavilions and steles can be seen everywhere, forming a long-standing religious culture. Pilgrims continue all year round, and clouds are lingering, adding more magical colors to Lushan Mountain.

Lushan Mountain can be described as a collection of mountains, rocks, pines, springs and caves. The magical power of nature has created the strange peaks and dangerous valleys of Yiwulu Mountain, depicting a fairyland on earth. White clouds, dense fog, Buddha's light, moonlight and pine and cypress are dazzling and fascinating. In spring, pear blossoms are in full bloom and the snow is like the sea; In midsummer, green hills are green and jade is heavy; In late autumn, red leaves are full of mountains and fruits are full of valleys; In the middle of winter, it is covered with snow and white.

The scenic spots of Yiwulu Mountain are: Beizhen Temple, Shui Sheng Bridge, Fish Pond, Guanyin Pavilion, Four Corners Pavilion, Guanyin Pavilion, Penglai Wonderland, Lotus Stone, Wanghai Temple, Evergreen Pine, Famous Mountain, Laoyege Pavilion, Wind Well, Peach Blossom and Baiyun Temple. Except Beizhen Temple at the foot of the mountain, all other scenic spots are on the mountain, and they are all concentrated in Guanyin Pavilion, which is very close. There is a highway leading to Beizhen Temple, Shui Sheng Bridge and Daoyin Valley in Beizhen County. Starting from Daoyin Valley, this road has two branches at first, but it is connected from left to right. Whether you go left or right, you can visit all the scenic spots on the mountain. Generally speaking, it is best to go to Yu Di and Guanyin Pavilion on the right.
