Qianfoshan has a long history and a deep cultural heritage. Every Buddha statue is full of historical atmosphere and artistic charm in Qianfoshan. I experienced peace and tranquility, as if I had entered a paradise away from the hustle and bustle. The natural scenery of Qianfo Mountain shocked me. The green mountains and green trees, birds and flowers, make people feel refreshed. In Qianfo Mountain, I have experienced the vastness and depth of Chinese Buddhist culture, deepening my understanding and understanding of Buddhism.
Jinan's famous attractions, because the dolls are listening to the "Heroes of Sui and Tang" recently, so they must punch Tang Sui. During the May Day holiday, the parking space at the south gate is full. You can park in the underground parking lot of Fohui Mountain. It is worth walking 200 meters. It rained on the day we climbed, and the rain was misty and still very artistic. Unfortunately, the cable car and the slide stopped. I ate plain noodles and sweet soup in Lishanyuan, bought Wenchuang popsicles, Wenchuang supplies, and stamped a lot of chapters. Qiwork! You can use Ctrip's points for coupons to buy tickets.
I feel that I can also make a ropeway up the mountain. Overall, it is more suitable for going in the morning, and you can pick a good time to see the sunrise. When I go down the mountain, it feels good to go down the slide. ^ω^

If you take a taxi to Qianfoshan, you must go early. There are fewer people. I feel that Wuyang Wuyang will start after 10 o'clock. The tickets are very cheap. Adults are 30 and students 15 Ctrip can buy 2 yuan cheaper, but student tickets can only be bought on the spot. If the physical strength is not good, it is recommended to do the cable car, the slide, do not stingy that money, there is no one to queue up early, we went down the mountain, about 11 o'clock, then no one lined up the slide, that is, go up, and the slide is really fun, you must experience it.
Such a large scenic spot is clean and the service is very good. There is a long history. Buddha's holy place. It is not a monastery scenic spot that does not allow donations to prompt very good, very user-friendly management. The roads and ropeways up and down the mountain and there are sightseeing cars and slides that are reasonable. There is a chance to climb the mountain.
Take my dad to travel, catch up with the cloudy day, the view is not very good, we take the cable car, the cable car is not closed, the small wind is quite cold, and it has to be warm. It should be very cool in summer.
