Shizhu Mountain is located 25 kilometers west of Luhong Town, Fuqing City. This mountain is named after the stone that can take pictures often comes to cranes, and the bamboo that wants to be empty makes dragons. There are 128 scenic Dianthus Temple and Lion Rock on the mountain. According to Xu Xiake's travel notes in the Ming Dynasty, this rock is the best place for the Nine Immortals to pray for their dreams, and it is now one of the top ten scenic spots in Fujian Province.
The scenery of Shizhu Mountain is centered on Shizhu Temple. From the east side of Dongzhang Reservoir Management Bureau, you can walk to Shizhu Temple, 1400 steps and 8 pavilions. It takes about half an hour to walk. The temple was built on the cliff hanging from the mountainside under the Champion Peak, with one side facing the mountain and three sides suspended. From a distance, it looks like a castle in the air and a heavenly palace fairy garden. The mountain peaks behind the temple are rugged, surrounded by bamboos, with red walls and blue tiles, which are elegant and quiet. Temple was founded in the first year of Tang Dynasty (847), formerly known as Lingbao Temple. In the ninth year of the Song Dynasty (1 173), when Prime Minister Shi Hao rebuilt it, it was renamed Dianzhu Temple because there were many strange stones and quiet bamboo forests around it. At present, there are Brewmaster Pavilion, Jade Emperor Pavilion (Tianjun Hall), Underground Palace, Guanyin Hall, Ziyun Building, Jade Emperor Hall and Great Compassion Hall in the temple. Dianthus Temple has two characteristics: first, Taoism is the main religion, and Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism have lived in harmony for a long time; Second, folk dream cultural activities are enduring. For example, Jiuxian Pavilion is a place to pray for dreams. There is a Dianthus fairy mountain on the cliff stone outside the temple, which is carved on the cliff during the day. There are scenic spots such as Flat Peach Cave, Xianqiao, Shimen and Chumi Stone on the west side of the temple.
From Shizhu Temple to the blast furnace in the west, it passes through Xianquan and Chaodou Stone, and reaches the main peak, Zhuangyuan Peak. The peak is 534 meters above sea level. View here: Surrounded by mountains and clouds, Carp Lake is clear and blue, and streams meander in the mountains; Overlooking the East China Sea, the sky is vast, the islands are looming, and tourists suspect that the sea will enter Yingzhou.
There is a boulder on the top of the champion's peak, called sea stone, which is covered with shellfish fossils in the sea. As a historical witness of the vicissitudes of life, sea stones have aroused endless reverie among tourists.
Turn back from the main peak, cross the Dianthus Temple, and there is Ziyun Cave dozens of steps away from the temple. This cave is spacious and quiet, and it is carved with a real statue of Huang Lin. Legend has it that Huang Lin was a member of the Back Beam of the Five Dynasties, where he made an alchemy to help the world, and there was an endless stream of doctors. There are lettering on the cliff at the mouth of the cave as evidence. There is a Ziyun Tower on Liyuwei Mountain just south of Ziyun Cave across the lake. The tower was built in the Ming Dynasty, with a pavilion structure and granite structure, with 8 corners and 7 floors and a height of 24 meters. There is a stone ladder that can climb to the top of the tower.
Guanyinyan is on the west side of Banshan Pavilion, with huge stones like eaves, towering into the clouds, and 10 meters from the ground, like a giant tile, so it is called a tile by the people. Cliff mottled moss marks, cracks leaking. The roots are misplaced on it, and the stone and bamboo are carved on the rock, and the handwriting is pale. There are also some strange stones near Guanyinyan, such as Xianrenping, Xianchuang, Heying Stone, Yuanyang Stone and Hualong Nest.
Climb up the narrow path from Yongrui Pavilion under Dianzhu Temple, cross the flat peach cave, and enter the small Penglai with a winding path, which is the first sight. The boulder splits like an Excalibur, with steep walls and a stone ridge in the middle gap. The total length of the tunnel 10 meters, looking up at the blue sky. There is a boulder hanging above the exit of Xiadao Road, which is about to fall down, and a tree in the road blocks the way. Steep cliffs block the way, and huge trees block the way, so it is difficult to be in danger.
Climbing hundreds of meters away from the stone ceiling, the cliff suddenly became empty and the cliff was about to tilt. The roots of the ancient banyan stick to the blue cliff. Looking up at the top of the cliff, the three stone cliffs stretch like eaves and are tense, hence the name triple eaves. This is a dangerous place and we can't reach it. There is a Tiantong Cave on the west side of Dianzhu Temple, which is 2.8 meters high and 7.2 meters deep. There is a hole at the top of the cave looking up at the sky, hence the name.
There is a carp lake under Shizhu Mountain. The lake 15 square kilometers, there is an island shaped like a carp in the lake. There are thousands of egrets on the island all the year round. At night, the egrets return to their nests, which is very lively and interesting. Take a yacht around the lake and enjoy the scenery of the lake. The lake is rippling, and occasionally fish jump out of the water. This situation is really leisurely, like entering a fairyland on earth.
