Scenic spot introduction:
Weihai Xianguding Tourist Area is known as "the No. 1 Jade Scenic Area in the World". The scenic spot has invested more than 2,000 tons of the world's rare jade, and carefully crafted nearly a thousand large-scale jade carvings using jade as the material. The large number and rich appearance are unique in the world. Among them, the 300-ton jade statue of Fairy Goddess in Jade Fairy Palace is the largest in the world and is a world-class cultural treasure. Xiangu leans against the Weifeng Wonderland with its back, overlooking the Oriental Sea of Blessings. It has been the holy land of spiritual blessings for Dongfanghai Culture and Immortal Culture since ancient times. On top of the green peak, there are green forests and clear springs in spring and summer, overflowing with the scenery of sea and mountains; colorful forests of ice and snow in autumn and winter, psychedelic jade towers and jade pavilions. It can be said that "the smoke and clouds are rolling around to enjoy the scenic scenery, and the ancient pines and stones are light and far-sighted". The Xiangu Temple contains a temple stele inscribed in Han and Liao languages in the fourth year of Jingde of the Great Song Dynasty. It was written by Zhang Wei of the Great Song Dynasty. It is the oldest temple stele discovered in the Weihai area. The temple is bustling with incense and visitors come in an endless stream. During the temple fair, there are tens of thousands of people every day. The locals call it a "holy place".Attractions distribution:
