Lushan National Forest Park is located in the south of Zibo and the northeast of Laiwu City. Inside the park, there are flying waterfalls and flowing springs, dense forests, and a beautiful environment. Coming here, you can not only breathe pure air, but also escape the heat and enjoy waterfalls, see strange peaks and rocks, or go to Tuoshan Temple, a famous temple with a history of thousands of years, to burn incense and worship Buddha.
You can also climb Guanyun Peak, the fourth highest peak in Shandong Province with an altitude of 1108 meters, and enjoy a panoramic view of the mountains.

You can also see the waterfall in Zaoshuyu falling straight down, which is pleasing to the eye. Coming to Lushan in autumn, you can enjoy the red leaves all over the mountains. The feeling of layers of forests being dyed is very charming. In spring here, mountain flowers are in full bloom and colorful, and the air is fresh. Although it is cold on Lushan in winter, the tree hangings after heavy snow are very beautiful and should not be missed by photography enthusiasts. Lushan Forest Park is mainly divided into Zaoshuyu tourist area and Guanyunfeng tourist area. There is no connecting transportation in the scenic area, so many self-driving tourists will choose to directly drive from the ticket office at the park entrance along the winding mountain road to the Lushan parking lot at an altitude of 900 meters, and then hike to visit the Guanyunfeng tourist area. The Guanyunfeng tourist area is a climbing loop. After about 2 hours of tour, you will return to the Lushan parking lot.

On the mountain, there is also an ancient temple with a history of more than 1400 years – Tuoshan Temple. It was built during the years of Emperor Wu of Liang in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. It is a temple with prosperous incense in the Lushan area. The temple is relatively small. There are buildings such as the Mahavira Hall, Zhigong Pagoda, and Zhigong Temple.
