Qian Shan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Qian Shan is a mountainous national park in Liaoning Province China 18 km southeast of Anshan.
The area features many Buddhist and some Taoist temples spaced throughout the park area. Paved paths connect the sites and a cable car provides access to the highest temple and pagoda location as well as a second one to a lower-lying part of Qian Shan, allowing access over a very difficult hiking path. Qian Shan, at 708.3-meters-high, is densely wooded and abounds with flora and fauna. Qian Shan is also famous for a nature-wrought statue of the Buddha which stands 70 meters tall. The Qian Shan Giant Buddha Festival takes place in June every year.
