Very Beautiful sight to see. It was honestly so breathtaking. Just being there made my day better
This place is a symbol of the threat of peace and patience of Lithuanian Catholics, hundreds of thousands of crosses and statues inserted in the hillside, quite spectacular, and now people there will go to anything important, and there are people inserting crosses on it, and it becomes a holy place.
The first time we went to Shijiashan was by taxi, because it was a chartered bus from Guatemala City to Andigua's hotel. We first visited Shijiashan along the way. The panoramic view of Andigua from Shijia Mountain is very beautiful, especially the volcanic background shows the epic charm of this historic city. The next morning, I walked up the ten mountains to see the sunrise. In fact, it was not far or difficult to climb the ten mountains. It's easy to climb the stairs. It's about ten minutes to the top of the mountain. With fewer people in the morning, you can see more beautiful scenery. At this time, it is even more interesting to photograph the cross and the ancient city.
It was so shocking, the whole cross mountain was a cross, I saw so many crosses for the first time, it was worth going
There are a lot of crosses piled up on the side of the road, if passing by at night is a bit scary, there are not many tourists
The Cross Mountain in Sioria, Lithuania is really a very magical place. It's not a cemetery, but there are all kinds of good crosses all over the mountains. Christians regard it as a magical place. The whole landscape is really spectacular. It's also very open, quiet and sparsely populated. It's a place worthy of pilgrimage.
