For
its fantastic and beautiful scenes, North
Beijing has always been a place where poets
would like to write about in their poems.
Yunfo Mountain Vacationing Village is located
here and for years, it is frequented by tourists
and widely admired. The large script of "Fo"
(meaning Buddha) written by Mr. Songyang,
a calligraphy master, is especially precious.
This script is 99 meters high and 56 meters
wide and many steles with scripts about Buddhist
culture are as long as 4 meters. Together,
they used up 20,000 cubic meters of granite
blocks and over 100 tons of cement. The scripts
are red in color and to paint them, 3 tons
of paint was used. They look very magnificent
from far away and among the green pine and
cypress trees. A manmade Great Wall directly
leads to the top of Yunfo Mountain and makes
Yunfo Mountain an ideal place to have a wonderful
look of the surrounding scenes. From the Return
Kiosk on top of the mountain, you can see
"the 100-mu (more than 6 hectares) orchards"
in the east, the "pyramid mountain"
in the west, "the reservoir scenes"
in the north, and the "municipality lights"
in the south. Here, you will feel broad-minded
and your views widened. The mountain is famous
for Buddha and a cave increases its charm.
On the mountain, below the vacationing village,
there is a natural limestone cave that is
formed after billions years of natural evolvement.
Various limestone flows and pillars form a
unique scene. They are witnesses of Yunfo
Mountain's long history.
