Cangma Mountain Tourist Resort
Cangma Mountain Tourist Resort is a national AAAA-level tourist attraction.
Cangma Mountain Tourist Resort is located 3 kilometers north of Linshu County and is a national AAA-level scenic spot, a provincial-level scenic area, and a provincial-level forest park. "Layered Greenery of Cang Mountain" has been hailed since ancient times as the foremost of the "Eight Scenic Spots of Langya." The resort features not only dense vegetation and a wide array of trees but also numerous historical relics and fascinating stories. Historical sites include the Terraces Where Emperor Qin Shi Huang Ascended, Yuxu Palace, Yuxu Fairyland, Hongyun Temple, Douwang Temple, the Traces Where Guiguzi Stayed, and the Anti-Jin Fortress.
The resort mainly consists of two theme parks—Bird Language Forest and Happy Kingdom—and three experience zones: the Huiji Temple Religious Area, Qingtan Valley Scenic Area, and Mountain Flowers in Bloom Viewing Area, along with the Yunxi Leisure Resort Hotel. It is the top choice for business meetings, leisure entertainment, and vacationing in southern Shandong and northern Jiangsu.
Yunxi Valley Theme Park:
Surrounded by mist and featuring spectacular landscapes, Yunxi Valley is a landscaped garden created by making full use of the area’s natural mountain and water resources. The uniquely designed Yingcui Lake within the park lies at the foot of the layered, verdant Cang Mountain. Bathed in sunlight, the lake sparkles with emerald hues, while peculiar rocks cast their reflections on the water—hence the name Yingcui (Reflecting Greenery) Lake. Tens of thousands of ornamental goldfish swim gracefully in the lake, adding boundless vitality. Viewed from the Bamboo Platform, Yingcui Lake resembles a treasure basin, where the shimmering water complements the majestic mountains—the mountains gain charm from the water, and the water gains allure from the mountains. Taking a sightseeing boat or driving a warship across Yingcui Lake offers a uniquely delightful experience.
shallow Bay Water Park:
The park offers a variety of water amusement activities, including floating bridges, aquatic plum blossom piles, rollers, cliffside plank walks, swinging hanging piles, aquatic swing bridges, aquatic balance beams, aquatic ladders, cable bridge crossings, aquatic climbing nets, zip lines, and sightseeing boats. These cater to visitors of all ages and interests, allowing everyone to fully enjoy the fun of interacting with water.
Children’s Happy Theme Park:
The park features over 20 children's entertainment activities, such as a mini excavator, sand play area, spinning carousel, pedal water wheel, swings, slides, trampoline, swaying flower bridge, aquatic pedal bikes, and zorbs. Designed innovatively, safely, and packed with endless fun, this area offers children a joyful journey filled with sunshine and childlike wonder, enhancing physical and intellectual development while inspiring young minds.
Huiji Zen Temple Prayer Area:
Walking a short distance into the valley, you’ll soon hear Buddhist chants. Following the sound along the mountain path, you’ll find Huiji Annex nestled halfway up the hill. "Huiji Zen Temple," formerly known as "Hongyun Temple," was first built during the Sui Dynasty and flourished in the Tang Dynasty, boasting a history of 1,500 years. The temple has been through cycles of prosperity and ruin, and by the time of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, only ruins remained. Reconstruction began in 2009, and structures such as the mountain gate, Guanyin Hall, and Mahavira Hall have been completed. When blessed by Buddhism, even a mountain gains an ethereal aura and divine charm.
Qingtan Eco Valley:
Following the walking trail uphill, you’ll reach the valley on the shaded side of Cang Mountain’s main peak—this is Qingtan Valley. Secluded and lush, the valley is home to gurgling springs year-round. Centuries-old blue sandalwood and locust trees create a cool, dense canopy, while dogskin felt grass carpets the ground. Birds sing throughout the forest, and in May, boundless white locust blossoms fill the valley, their fragrance carried on the breeze, making it an enchanting place hard to leave.
