Highlights of Lianfeng Mountain

Sea-View Pavilion

One of the prime vantage points within Lianfeng Mountain is the Sea-view Pavilion, perched atop the main peak. From this elevated spot, visitors can witness the enchanting spectacle of the morning sun painting the sea with its hues, the evening sun setting in the west, views of the vast ocean to the south, the verdant mountains to the north, the bustling cityscape to the east, and the serene villages to the west. The panoramic view from the Sea-view Pavilion encapsulates the entirety of Beidaihe, making it a truly awe-inspiring experience.

Lotus Flower Rock

Situated amidst the dense forest on the eastern slope of Lianfeng Mountain, Lotus Flower Rock is a unique formation that resembles a blooming lotus. A commemorative plaque erected by the “Public Welfare Association” stands in front of the rock, featuring a poem by Xu Shichang, the President of the Beiyang Government of the Republic of China, and on the back, a record of the establishment of Beidaihe’s seaside and the construction of the Lotus Flower Rock Park by Zhu Qiyin. This inscription vividly recounts the development of Beidaihe’s coastal scenery and the creation of the Lotus Flower Rock Park, painting a picturesque portrait of the natural beauty of Beidaihe.

Фауна и флора

Lianfeng Mountain, established as the largest forest park in Beidaihe in 1919, has preserved its original terrain, topography, and vegetation. In 1998, the park introduced a new attraction called the “Birdsong Forest,” featuring over 200 species and 2000 individual birds of rare and exotic varieties. A visit to the Birdsong Forest provides a unique opportunity to reconnect with nature, offering a sense of tranquility and delight.

Guanyin Temple

One of the notable landmarks on Lianfeng Mountain is the Guanyin Temple, dating back to the Ming and early Qing dynasties. Architecturally styled as a Siheyuan, the temple features brick and wood construction. The main hall houses a standing statue of Guanyin, meticulously carved in imitation of the Buddha statues in Beijing’s Guangji Temple. The temple’s serene ambiance is enhanced by the presence of ancient trees like the white fruit tree, Luohan pine, tiger-skin pine, and dragon-claw locust, creating a peaceful and elegant atmosphere.
