Gushan Mountain has many strange peaks and rocks, forming scenic spots such as Stone Old Man, Stone Turtle Praying for Rain, Natural Stone Statue of Han Xin, and Han Xin’s Platform for Reviewing Troops. The vegetation coverage rate is over 85%. Every spring and summer, wildflowers are in full bloom, colorful and fragrant, intoxicating people. In late autumn and early winter, the fiery red maple leaves, golden oak trees and green pines and cypresses set off each other beautifully, very attractive. Standing on the peak and looking into the distance, a hundred miles around can be seen in full view. Small reservoirs and ponds at the foot of the mountain are dotted everywhere, like pearls inlaid between the green mountains and fertile fields. To the southeast, the green mountains are vast and boundless. To the north, the plain is endless, and smoke is curling up from the nearby villages. Looking into the distance at the skyline, Laizhou Bay is sparkling and fishing boats are densely distributed. Hao Datong, a famous Taoist priest in the Yuan Dynasty and the founder of Huashan School, was attracted by the beauty of Gushan Mountain and pioneered Taoism in Gushan. The Zixia Palace on the top of the mountain was once an important base of Taoism. The main scenic spots include cliff carvings, Zixia Palace, South Heavenly Gate, Mother Goddess Temple, Immortal Cave, Courtyard, Taoist Pagoda, Sword Testing Stone, One Stroke ‘Phoenix’, Danxia Wall, Han Xin Academy, Holy Spring and so on.
