TIME : 2016/2/17 12:03:41

Beginning in the Sui dynasty (581–618), the pious carved Buddhas into this mountain southeast of the city centre. The oldest are at Xīnguóchán Temple , the golden-roofed complex near the cable car and luge drop-off on the mountaintop. On the rare clear day looking south, you can spot Tài Shān, the anthill in the distance.
