After turning up from the steps, you directly arrive at the stone tablet of Yunmen Wonderland. A sense of celestial aura greets you 😎 . At the end of the path ahead, there is a stone tablet inscribed with 'Longevity as the Southern Mountain'. From here, you can also see the pavilion in the distance. It seems you can pass through from the path below, but I chose to climb directly up the steep steps, so I had to give up on that for now 🧐 . Afterwards, you need to continue exploring in the opposite direction, which is on the other side of Yunmen Wonderland. There is a palace called the Three Emperors Hall, which is also quite impressive 🙇 . Then, further ahead, there is a stone gate. Below it, there is a place called Tianchi. It is called Tianchi not because there is water inside, but because the words 'Tianchi' are actually carved inside the pit 😓 . After passing Tianchi, you encounter two buildings: the Temple of the Celestial Maiden and the Jade Emperor Hall. . One of these buildings has stone walls, and the other has wooden doors. Although both look beautiful, I still feel that the stone-walled one has more texture 🧐 . Finally, there is the stone tablet marking the summit of Yunmen Mountain, which is definitely not to be missed 😁 . But if you want to talk about beautiful scenery, it has to be the view of the distant peaks from the stone railing 😎

After gradually entering the beautiful scenery, the climbing road ahead feels increasingly hot, but I still have to persist in climbing. 🙎 . On the way, I passed a place called Couple Tree, thinking about what is different here. It seems that two trees have grown together. 🧐 . Then I went up to a place called Luoshui Cave Ruins to check in. However, there is no water here; otherwise, it would look better. 🙇 . After coming up from the Luoshui Pool Ruins, there is also a Suo Lao Wo Rock here. It is said that this is the place where the Snow Suo Taoist avoids the rain. 🧐 . Continuing upwards, I encountered another rock wall with the words 'Respect the gods as gods' engraved on it. It is very eye-catching. 🙇 . Going further up, I reached an open area with several pools. I randomly chose one to check in. 😁

Yunmen Mountain, located 2.5 kilometers south of Qingzhou city, is adjacent to Camel Mountain and connected with Fan Gong Pavilion at the mountain's base. With an elevation of 421 meters, the mountain is not high, but it is famous for its auspicious omens, of which there are two: Yunmen Cave, during the summer and autumn seasons, the 'Cloudy Grotto' (see photo) on the south side of the cave emits clouds. At that time, white clouds soar into the sky, rising gently through Yunmen Cave, circulating back and forth, resembling rolling clouds lifting the temple at the mountain's peak into the clouds, thus it is known as 'Yunmen's Fairyland'. The story 'Li Daoren Walks Alone Through Yunmen' from the famous Ming Dynasty work 'Awakening the World Hengyan' by Feng Menglong, refers to Yunmen Mountain's Yunmen Cave. The second auspicious omen: the rare Ming Dynasty cliff stone carving of the character 'Shou' (longevity), known as 'Yunmen's Presentation of Longevity'.

I saw the word "longevity", worshipped all the gods, climbed to the top of the highest peak, sweated a little, and felt very comfortable.
