    Perhaps because my expectations were too high, I was slightly disappointed, but it was still breathtaking. Seven Buddhas side-by-side, with the Lord of the Netherworld on the far left—the only one of its kind in the entire country. It reflects Yelü's filial piety towards Empress Dowager Xiao. You should come and experience it!

    A fun trip. Going hiking early in the morning was fantastic; the scenic area had a great environment, fresh air, and we even saw lots of kittens along the way. Every attraction was worth visiting.

    First of all, the car can be driven up, and there is parking in each temple, which is great. Then the environment is also good, refreshing. How high you can climb depends on your physical fitness. Overall, it feels good.

    One of the three major Liao Dynasty structures, I'd already visited the other two, so this one couldn't be missed. ●﹏● I took the high-speed rail to Jinzhou North Station and picked up my rental car, heading straight to Fengguo Temple. The navigation system indicated provincial roads, with a speed limit of 40-60 km/h. It took over an hour to drive. At the entrance, there was a ticket office. The guided tour was 38 yuan per person. I asked, but they said it was for the outside tour, which lasted an hour and a half. There were also guided tours inside, where you could group up to 10 people for 100 yuan and an hour. The guides were all the same. The main gate was under repair, so only the Main Hall was open. There were two small rooms nearby, displaying artifacts, including murals and original plaques. Even for preservation purposes, the replica plaques on the main hall were a bit off-putting. The architecture inside the main hall is still very Liao Dynasty-style. The seven Buddha statues are majestic and impressive, but the murals are severely damaged and blurry! Regarding the Ten Thousand Buddha Caves, I have to say: Never trust Baidu Navigation. It led us down a country road under construction, taking us over an hour and a dozen kilometers. Fortunately, we escaped unscathed! The grotto is very small and not worth visiting.

    Touring the medical witch Mount is like a wonderful journey through history and nature, which is very impressive. The history of medical witch Mount is deep and awe-inspiring. It has been designated as the town of Youzhou in the north since the time of the war, and became one of the five towns of the five Yues when the emperors of Yuan, Ming and Qing were all sacrificed as usual. Wanghai Temple on the mountain was once the reading place of the Liao Dynasty Royal, and the reading place of the eldest son of the Liao Taizu, Dongdan Wang Yelubi. Standing in front of these monuments, it seems that you can hear the echo of history, and feel the respect and love of the emperor and literati Moke for this mountain for thousands of years. Its natural landscape is also very magnificent, giving people a double shock of vision and soul. During the climb, the lush forest sea can be seen along the way swaying with the wind, surging like waves, and the sun shines through the tree canopy. On the top of the mountain, overlooking the mountains, the peaks and layers, the mountain wind wrapped in the water vapor of the Bohai Sea, the magnificent scenery is intoxicating, all the fatigue is dissipated at this moment. The strange stones and ancient pine in the mountains are all distinctive, like a natural picture scroll, showing the ghosts and craftsmanship of nature. Cultural and creative products are even more surprising, exquisite stamps, refrigerator stickers, etc., not only have commemorative significance, but also full of Chinese traditional cultural elements. Glass plank road, Wanghai Temple and other attractions also have their own characteristics, providing tourists with a wealth of play options. In short, the trip to the medical wizard Lushan made me harvest quite rich, it has a heavy sense of history, natural beauty and rich humanistic experience, is an unforgettable journey, people to this famous mountain in the northeast full of nostalgia and reluctance.
