Dongshan Chan Temple Scenic Area

　　   Dongshan Chan Temple Scenic Area is a Buddhist activity site legally registered and approved by the People’s Government of Shandong Province. It covers an area of 25 mu, with a total investment of 56 million yuan. The main structures within the temple include the mountain gate, the Mahavira Hall—a double-eave hip-and-gable roof-style antique building facing east—which is situated to the west, as well as symmetrical north-south wing rooms, lecture halls, dining halls, reception rooms, and other service facilities. The Mahavira Hall enshrines a 6.4-meter-tall seated statue of Sakyamuni Buddha, whose dignified and solemn expression commands reverence. Dongshan Chan Temple Scenic Area has been honored as a National AA-level Tourist Attraction and one of the "100 Must-Visit Places in Shandong," adding a beautiful spot for spiritual cultivation to Juancheng and serving as a bond linking Juancheng with the international community and a window to the outside world.

　　   In recent years, under the leadership of the county Party committee and county government, the scenic area has strictly followed the national standard “Classification and Evaluation of Quality Grades of Tourist Attractions” to improve supporting facilities such as the visitor service center, parking lot, tourist toilets, scenic area signage, directional signs, warning signs, and highway traffic sign systems. By strengthening quality service and standardized management, the comprehensive reception capacity and service level of the scenic area have been significantly enhanced.

　　   On December 8, Dongshan Chan Temple Scenic Area successfully passed the on-site inspection and acceptance by the acceptance team of the Provincial Tourism Quality Rating Evaluation Committee. Recently, the Provincial Tourism Attractions Quality Rating Evaluation Committee announced that Dongshan Chan Temple Scenic Area has been officially upgraded to a National AAA-level Tourist Attraction, further expanding the scale of AA-level and above tourist attractions in our county.
