Mountain climbing
Mount Laoshan is located in the east of Qingdao, bordering the Yellow Sea to the east and south. It is known as the "Famous Mountain on the Sea". The highest peak is a huge peak with an altitude of about 1,100 meters. Mount Laoshan has become a famous Taoist mountain for its grandeur, magnificence, uniqueness and beauty. The Taoist temples, sunrises and sea of clouds in Mount Laoshan are all well-known. Laoshan is mainly composed of seven scenic tourist areas: Jufeng, Liuqing, Taiqing, Qipanshi, Yangkou, Beijiushui and Hualou. There are four tour routes, including three land routes (South Line, East Line, Central Line) and one water route. The scenery of these Attraction: Jufeng Sunrise, Taiqing Water Moon, Haijiao Xiandun, Hualou Dieshi, Jiushui Mingyi, etc. together constitute the twelve scenes of Laoshan. Hualou is far from the sea and not in Laoshan District, so there are fewer tourists. Beijiushui is beautiful because of water. There are streams and springs everywhere in the Attraction, and the scenery is beautiful. For ordinary tourists, the Jufeng and Liuqing-Yangkou routes are really worth visiting. One day is enough for each of these two routes. Jufeng and Yangkou are also where the natural beauty of Laoshan is. Liuqing-Yangkou, also known as the South Line, is an earlier developed Attraction in Laoshan Attraction . It is close to the coastline and has the famous scenic spot Taiqing Palace. It is the route for most people to visit Laoshan. The basic route to enter the Attraction is Liuqing-Taiqing Palace Scenic Area-Huayan Temple, and the end point is Yangkou. Since the essence of this route is Yangkou, it is recommended to arrange your own time to visit the attractions in the front. Taiqing Palace - the place where the story of the Taoist priest of Mount Laoshan in Liaozhai takes place. Pu Songling came here and was inspired by the Taiqing Palace and wrote "The Taoist Priest of Mount Laoshan". Visitors can see the wall where the Taoist priest of Mount Laoshan in Pu Songling's writings passed through the wall. Huayan Temple - the existing Buddhist temple in Mount Laoshan. Since Yangkou is close to the Yellow Sea, you can see the sea and enjoy the breeze here. Of course, in addition to the beautiful scenery, Yangkou also has the challenging Mitian Cave, which is winding, steep, and narrow. You can't see your hand in front of you in the dark, and you can only get through the narrow part by squeezing your body, which greatly increases the fun of the tour. You can walk or take a cable car to Mitian Cave. You can take photos, see the scenery, and overlook the Yellow Sea at the top of the mountain. Also, remember to bring a flashlight so that you can see the beautiful scenery in the cave. In addition to Yangkou, the second most beautiful scenery of Laoshan is in Jufeng Scenic Area. Jufeng is the main peak of Laoshan, and Laoding is the highest point. Climbing is the main activity here, and it is the most physically demanding part of Laoshan tourism. Jufeng is full of rocks and is magnificent. On sunny days, you can see the sea, and on cloudy days, you can see the sea of clouds. Watching the sunrise at Laoding is a beautiful and charming scene.
