Yanghe town Ai Shan scenic spot

Ai Shan is the only high mountain in jiaozhou city. "Jiaozhou Zhi" records: "Aishan ... has two peaks, which are beautiful. In the west is Bixia Palace, in the east is Dawang Hall and in front is Ginkgo biloba. Two peaks in western Shandong stand tall. They are called' Stone Ears'. The abrupt stone ear is located on the east and west sides of the main peak of Ai Shan, and its stone color is different from that of the mountain, so it is called "striving for wonder", also known as "offering wonder". The Qing Dynasty is known as "Stone Ears Striving for Wonder" and is one of the "Eight Scenes of Jiaozhou". A myth and legend about Ai Shan is widely circulated among local people. When Jiro went up the mountain to fill the sea, he passed by here, put down his burden and rested less on the side of the road. The pole pressed right against the top of the mountain. Jiro exclaimed, "What a big mountain! "So I named this mountain. Today, the peaks in Ai Shan are divided into two parts. Legend has it that the shoulder pole was left by Erlang Danshan Mountain, while the east and west stone ears were the stone slag leaked from the burden. " "Xi Shi" once had a temple called Tiande 'an, with green tiles and green trees. It's quiet and unusual here, and the ancient stone steps extend all the way down the hill. In particular, the ancient pear tree with the bell tower hidden is surrounded by pure flowers like snow by veteran cadres. Unfortunately, buildings and trees lack maintenance. Today, only the stone chisel on the wall of the clock tower and the brick niche hanging on the cliff are left. In the past, the foot fossa carved on the steep cliff at the top of the stone (known locally as "Rebecca's nose") can still be recognized, although it has been eroded by long-term wind and rain. Ai Shan, which was formed in Mesozoic Cretaceous, has a geological history of1.200 million years and is a typical volcanic rock distribution area. Dongshi and Xishi are rhyolitic volcanic breccia, which are the exposed remnants of volcanic neck. They are rare geological phenomena and standard profiles in China, and are called "national treasures". 200 1 was approved as "provincial geological relics nature reserve" by Shandong province. Ai Shan is also an important missionary place for Taoism in Jiaozhou. Since ancient times, there have been many statues in temples in Ai Shan, and incense has flourished. On the third day of the third lunar month, a group of stone men in Aishan, near Ai Shan, Yanghe Town, jiaozhou city, spontaneously went to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha, praying for good weather and abundant crops. The scale of this temple fair is increasing year by year, and sometimes there are Qiang Mao and Yangko performances, which attract many nearby villagers and foreign tourists to watch.
