"The Origin of Tea Mountain" in Liguan Town, Lanshan District, Linyi City

Liguan Tea Mountain is also known as Chaya Mountain. It is located 22.5 kilometers north of Linyi City, Shandong Province. The mountain is composed of red miscellaneous stone and limestone, with an altitude of 227.1 meters and an area of ??1 square kilometers. The solitary peak stands out and dominates the west bank of Yihe River. It is known as "Linyi Zhenshan". "Linyi County Chronicles: Mountains and Rivers" compiled in the fifth year of the Republic of China (1916) says: "Chaya Mountain is forty-five miles away from the city, and it is the town of Linyi. Wenchang Palace is built above it, with ancient pine trunks, the sky is dark, and there are stone caves in the mountains. At its eastern foot is Zhuge City, where the old Zhuge Academy has been abandoned for a long time. To the south of Chaya Mountain is Taohua Ridge, where the Xiaohe River originates, and to the south is Bazi Mountain. It is said that there used to be Wenchang Palace on the top of the mountain, and Baiyun was built on the mountainside. There is a pure gold spring in front of the temple. The gold collected every day is enough to support the monks in the temple for a day. The monks in the temple wanted to make the spring more clear, so they dug out the spring to enlarge it. God hated his greed, so the gold disappeared. The cave in Shanyin is called Wang Ao Cave. It is said that it was Wang Ao's place of cultivation. Later, a woman told him about it and he moved it away. The cave was gradually silted up by sand.
