Waitougou, with an altitude of 971 meters, is the fourth highest peak in Yishan Mountain. Climbing to Changchun Pavilion on the top of the hill, there are cliffs on three sides.

Yuhuangding is the highest peak of Yishan Mountain. Climbing to the top, you can look around the mountains and see all the small mountains. It is also a good place to enjoy the sunrise. On the top of the mountain, there is a Taoist building, Yuhuang Pavilion, which is majestic and majestic. There are also scenic spots such as Wanghai Pavilion, Tanhai Stone, and Taiqing Cave nearby. There is a stone slide on one side of Tanhai Stone. After paying, you can get gloves and sliding mats, and then sit on the slide and slide down, passing through the forest to Fayun Temple. The total length is about one kilometer. Fayun Temple was built in the first year of Yuanhe of Emperor Zhang of the Eastern Han Dynasty (84 AD). It is a famous temple in Shandong Province. Later, it was almost destroyed by war. Although the current Fayun Temple was rebuilt on the original site, you can still feel the breath of history in it. The Baizhang Cliff Waterfall has a drop of more than 80 meters. It is a rare large waterfall in Jiangbei. In summer, you can feel the coolness under the waterfall. The waterfall after the rain is rushing down, and the sound is like a thunderous wave, which is very spectacular. Mount Yi has been a famous mountain in China since ancient times. It ranks first among the "Five Great Towns" of Taoism. Sixteen emperors, including Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Taizong of Tang, and Emperor Taizu of Ming, Zhu Yuanzhang, have been enthroned and offered sacrifices here. The Dongzhen Temple at the foot of the mountain was built in the early years of the Song Dynasty. Whenever emperors and generals offered sacrifices to Mount Yi, they would always set up steles to commemorate it. Today, you can still see those ancient steles recording history in the Dongzhen Temple, which are extremely precious. In addition, there are hotels such as Songlin Restaurant and Mountain Resort on the mountain that can provide meals, but the prices are relatively expensive. If you are not staying for a day trip, it is recommended to bring some dry food and water to the mountain. If you want to see the sunrise, there are also Guanyuntai Hotel on the mountain for accommodation, but the accommodation conditions are not as good as those at the foot of the mountain. If you need it, please contact the hotel in advance to book a room (the contact information can be found on the official website of the Attraction). https://youimg1.tripcdn.com/target/100j0b0000005z5mrC851_D_10000_1200.jpg?proc=autoorient " style="width: 100%;">
