Thousand Buddha Mountain

Beginning in the Sui dynasty (581–618), pious folk carved Buddhas into this mountain southeast of the city centre. The oldest are at Xinguochan 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 Tai Shan, the anthill in the distance.
