Destination :Departing from Zhaohushan, Haiyang!
 

Along the way, we played a chain‑story game, with everyone eagerly taking part in the performances, all the while singing and laughing! The journey, which took just over an hour, felt like it flew by!

Upon arriving at the foot of Zhaohu Mountain, the family members gathered to take a headcount and organize into groups—seven teams, all fully prepared and ready to set off!

President Jiang Xuelian is our leader, and with a grand procession, we’re setting off toward the mountaintop!

Zhaohushan National Forest Park is located to the northeast of Haiyang City’s urban area. At the 8-kilometer mark, the area stretches 6.1 kilometers from east to west and 5.2 kilometers from north to south, covering a total of 1,762 hectares. The main peak, Zhaohu Mountain, rises to an elevation of 549.7 meters, with steep slopes, precipitous summits, and deep valleys. Today, our goal is to reach the highest summit—Yunbiao Peak!

There’s still a short distance to go to the foot of the mountain, and we’re riding the electric mini-train at Zhaohu Mountain. .Haha, and besides… didn’t childhood memories suddenly flood back?

We’re starting to hike up the mountain—let’s snap a few stunning shots first!

Along the way, every corner—every breath of air—is suffused with warmth and laughter. ..

Once you leap over the Dragon Gate, the mountain path begins to grow steep. ...

Above the Dragon Gate, there are four pavilions; with each step up to a new one, the scenery unfolds more and more before your eyes. At a glance, it truly is… Surrounded by towering mountains, with rolling peaks and dense forests, the scenery is breathtaking. The winding valleys stretch far and wide, and from the highest vantage point, you can take in all the verdant beauty at a glance! After a long and arduous climb, having poured out copious sweat and expended tremendous energy, we finally reached the summit as we had hoped. --Cloud-View Peak!

Come take a photo with us! We’ve discovered a pond filled with golden toads—also known as money‑attracting toads—which symbolize wealth and prosperity, and are said to bring abundance and good fortune. The auspicious meaning of “spitting out treasures and attracting wealth, with an endless flow of prosperity” also symbolizes that the future of Yisi Nong Home Textiles will be even brighter!

They say it’s easy to climb the mountain but hard to descend, so after a brief rest, everyone prepared to head back down. ..

This is the legendary Muyu Stone. ..

We finally descended the mountain after passing through the bamboo grove. ..

At 12:30, everyone gathered as scheduled at Songlinju for a meal, savoring delicious home-style dishes.

As for the origin of the name “Zhaohushan,” later generations generally cite a passage from the “Supplement to the Records of Haiyang County”: “Thirty-five li north of the town stands a mountain called Zhaohu, so named because a tiger once lay hidden within its slopes; tamed by the immortals, it was transformed into stone, and its traces remain clearly visible.” However, precisely because The character “tiger” is embedded in the mountain’s name, leading many to form a preconceived impression and overlook another defining feature of Zhaohu Mountain: the dragon. In fact, Zhaohu Mountain boasts not only tigers but also dragons: the Nine-Dragon Lake, winding through the mountains, exudes an air of vast, misty waters, and along its shores stands a temple dedicated to the Dragon King. According to the “Geographical Awakening Record” According to the “Dragon‑Tiger Song,” the Azure Dragon is an auspicious deity and should rise in a winding, serpentine form, while the White Tiger is a malevolent deity and ought to lie low and docile. By this measure, the feng shui of Zhaohu Mountain may well be deemed of the highest caliber.

In the afternoon, we also played a fun relay game—what a joyful and harmonious family time!

Coming down from Chengdao Chan Temple, I’ve returned to the starting point!

At exactly 3:00 p.m., we wrapped up our day’s itinerary and departed on time from Haiyang, heading home. By 4:30 p.m., we were already back!

Today, on both the ascent and descent, the members of the “Yi Si Jia” family upheld the spirit of supporting one another and ensuring that no one was left behind, making it an unforgettable and deeply meaningful day. We successfully completed the objectives of this spring outing!
