The beautiful Qingyuan Mountain in Quanzhou has the largest Taoist stone carving in China. Is there a Qingyuan cave?

There is a beautiful city in Fujian-Quanzhou, and there is a beautiful mountain in Quanzhou-Qingyuan Mountain, which is suitable for sightseeing all year round. Qingyuan Mountain is the first and only 5A-level scenic spot in Quanzhou, and it is a landmark scenic spot in Quanzhou. The biggest highlight of the whole mountain is Laojunyan at the foot of the mountain, also known as Yuxianyan, which is the core attraction of Qingyuan Mountain Scenic Area. There is also Qingyuan Cave, located at the peak of Qingyuan Mountain at an altitude of 470 meters, which is called "the first cave" by the world. At the same time, although the beautiful Jiuri Mountain is not connected with Qingyuan Mountain, it is also an integral part of Qingyuan Mountain Scenic Area.

I arrived at Qingyuan Mountain early in the morning and reached the foot of the mountain. A strong musical rhythm began to haunt my ears, and the timbre of the guzheng brought its own tranquility. In recent days, it has been drizzling in southern Fujian, making the scenic spot more peaceful and the vegetation on the mountain more lush. Not far up, you can see the big stone statue of Laozi, which is located halfway up the mountain, fragrant with peaches and plums, with trees behind it and clouds around the mountains.

There are no dense tourists, only sporadic locals who come to exercise. I chose the second route up the mountain. For five hours, I didn't have an inch of clothes on me. The road sign was vague and I went the wrong way several times. I met an old man, vigorous, lifeless and the same color. Under his guidance, he finally reached the summit smoothly, overlooking Quanzhou, and his heart was full of detachment and tranquility.

Quanzhou laojunyan

Because of the statue of Laojun, it is called Laojun Rock, which is a unique artistic treasure among Taoist stone carvings in China. It's only a few steps past the mountain gate. Because it is the largest existing Taoist stone carving with the most unique carving skills in China, people in the field of literature and history jokingly call it "Laozi is the best in the world". Laojunyan in Qingyuan Mountain has been independently opened as a scenic spot, which is different from the entrance of Tianhu Lake on the mountain. But tickets are universal. You can visit these two places by buying a ticket.

When I didn't go to Qingyuan Mountain, I thought Laojunyan was really big, at least it looked like this in the photo. As a result, I really stood in front of Laojunyan and found that it was not very big. Now, in order to protect cultural relics, the statue of Laojun has been surrounded by iron railings, and it is basically hopeless to touch Laojun's ears. Teach you a folk prescription: when taking a photo with Laojun, put your hand in Laojun's ear and let the photographer help you fulfill this wish. Every landmark must have tourists competing to take a photo!

Jiuri Mountain

Jiuri Mountain is going to get the ticket, but no one is watching at the door, depending on consciousness. There are stone carvings all over the mountain, so it's really hard to tell which generation is which. As the starting point of the Maritime Silk Road, Jiuri Mountain is the remains of Hayes, and the scenic spots are well arranged. It may take more time to browse the cliff stone carvings.

Jiuri Mountain is only 100 meters high, and young people can climb to the top in ten minutes. Jiuri Mountain is called the starting point of the Maritime Silk Road. There are many inscriptions of famous people in the past dynasties on the mountain, leaving 75 squares so far, which is very rich in humanistic connotation, just like a natural calligraphy museum.

Qingyuandong

Qingyuan Cave is the first of the 36 caves in Qingyuan Mountain. The boulder in front of Qingyuan Cave is three or four meters high and the wall is smooth, just to practice bravery. Every day, I ran to the front of this big stone, sometimes taking off, sometimes jumping down, training hard in rain or shine, and finally training others' courage, so later people called this stone "practicing bravery stone". Metasequoia glyptostroboides, monoecious, first-class protected tree species, age 100 years or more.

After entering the mountain gate, you can see the Gongde Monument Pavilion and the Xiaoyao Maitreya Buddha statue, where Buddhism and Taoism coexist, which is good. Continue to climb, there is a platform above, and there is a building nearby with a banner of "Great Mercy and Great Compassion", which should be dedicated to Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. The main hall, Xiandong Hall, overlooks Tianhu and Quanzhou City at the foot of the mountain. The apex of Qingyuan Cave, said to be a cave, is actually a temple dedicated to Guanyin. After the visit, you can go out through the back door and see the road to the top of the mountain.

Besides seeing the cultural landscape, climbing mountains and keeping fit, drinking tea on the mountain and eating and drinking at the top of the mountain are also unique pleasures. There are many places to rest and make tea on the way up the mountain. You can stop to drink tea and slowly taste Minnan culture.
