方山

A famous Buddhist mountain on the south bank of the Yangtze, with a flat, square summit and Yunfeng Temple nestled among the trees. There are distant views of the winding river.

Fangshan Mountain lies in Fangshan Town, Jiangyang District. It takes its name from its flat, square summit and is a renowned Buddhist mountain in southern Sichuan, as well as a popular climbing destination for Luzhou residents. Yunfeng Temple on the mountain has a long history, with halls spread along the slopes. Dense woodland surrounds it, and there are cliff carvings and viewing points. On clear days you can look far across the Yangtze as it winds around the city. You can drive up the mountain or hike the trail. It is about 20 kilometers from the city center, takes half a day to visit, and is busier with pilgrims on public holidays.
