Haifeng, Shanwei, Guangdong｜Jiming Temple on Lotus Mountain.

Jiming Temple is located in Haifeng City, which has a history of more than one thousand years. Since the Tang and Song Dynasties, merchants have gathered here and trade has been active. Sea goods and sea salt have entered the mainland from here, leaving behind a very rich historical and cultural memory. Jiming Temple, located in the suburbs of the county, is a legendary place. According to legend, during the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty, Monk Yinzhen went to Haifeng to beg for alms. There were several earthquakes in the area. In order to ward off evil spirits and gather blessings for Haifeng, Yinzhen built a temple near Lianhua Mountain. In the middle of the night, one could hear roosters crowing in the mountain, so the temple was named "Jiming Temple". Before entering the temple, we could already see the Buddha statue in the mountains from afar. It looked particularly spiritual in the clouds and mist. From Ksitigarbha Pavilion, to the Heavenly King Hall, to the Big Buddha Statue, Bell and Drum Tower, etc., you can drive directly to the mountain, but if you walk you will need to climb the stairs. Lianhua Mountain in Shanwei City is located 7 kilometers north of Haifeng County, Shanwei City, Guangdong Province. The main peak is 1,337.5 meters above sea level. It is one of the eight scenic spots in Shanwei City and the highest peak on the coast of eastern Guangdong. It looks like a blooming lotus, hence the name Lianhua Mountain. 🚗Location navigation: Haifeng Lianhua Mountain Jiming Temple 👣Hiking distance: 12km (1200m ascent) ⚠On rainy days, there is a great chance to see the sea even during the day‼ But the road is very muddy and slippery, so be careful and avoid slipping. 🥛There are no supply points throughout the journey, so you need to bring enough food and water 🚾There is a toilet on the right side of Feiwa Ancient Temple, and there is a large abandoned parking lot and toilet at the Zhaogong Gorge rafting area at the foot of the mountain
