Photos of Thousand Buddhas Mountain

Thousand Buddhas Mountain lies to the south of downtown Jinan. The mountain, Baotu Spring, and Daming Lake are collectively known as "Jinan's Three Great Scenic Spots." Thousand Buddhas Mountain lies on a branch of Taishan. Despite not being a very high mountain, it has undulating ridges and peaks and luxuriant forests. It derives its name from its many stone-carved Buddhas. You can enter the Wanfo(10,000 Buddhas) Cave to investigate this secret realm of nearly 30,000 carved Buddhas; alternatively, you can go to pray at Xingguo Temple. From the peak you can enjoy picturesque views of the whole of Jinan city.
