Shengjing Mountain
圣经山
A Taoist sacred mountain in western Wendeng, where Laozi is said to have written the Tao Te Ching. Carved inscriptions from the text are found on a boulder at the summit, making it an important site of the Quanzhen school.
Shengjing Mountain lies in western Wendeng District of Weihai and is an outlying range of Kunyu Mountain. The mountain is said to be where Laozi wrote the Tao Te Ching, which gives it its name. On a giant boulder at the summit, the text is carved into the rock face. Wang Chongyang, founder of the Quanzhen school of Taoism, also taught here. The scenic area includes the Ziyang Palace, a statue of Laozi, and many stone inscriptions. From the summit you can see the Wendeng Plain and the peaks of Kunyu Mountain. Ticket prices are confirmed on site. The round-trip hike takes about 2 hours, and it can be combined with Kunyu Mountain on the same day.
