Tuoshan

Tuoshan (Chinese: 驼山; pinyin: Tuó Shān; lit.

Tuoshan is the core scenic zone of Qingzhou National Park.

[1][2] Qiaoyu was a chief official of Qingzhou during the Ming dynasty, and inscribed the characters 'Tuo Shan' on the eastern face of the mountain.

Haotian Temple (Hao Tian Gong in pinyin) measures 150 m from north to south and 100 m from east to west.

The temple itself consists of a group of ancient structures, including an old theatre, Yuhuang Palace, Seven Treasures Cabinet, and a garden of stone 'stelae' or tablets.

There are 638 stone Buddhas in five main grottoes, which were chiselled in the Northern Zhou (577–581) and Tang dynasty (613–907) and lie along the mountain's eastern edge, close to the summit.
