地理位置
蓮花山(shan)風景區位于濟南市(shi)萊蕪區南部15公(gong)(gong)里處的高莊街(jie)道辦(ban)事處轄(xia)區。海拔994米(mi),景區面積20平方(fang)公(gong)(gong)里,山(shan)頂以水為界,北麓為萊蕪,南麓屬新泰。有公(gong)(gong)交車直達(da),交通(tong)十分(fen)便利。
蓮花山(shan)(shan)(shan)因(yin)漢武帝訪(fang)仙到此,在山(shan)(shan)(shan)頂(ding)建“迎仙宮(gong)”,故又稱(cheng)宮(gong)山(shan)(shan)(shan)。有(you)三十六山(shan)(shan)(shan)頭(tou),七十二深谷之稱(cheng)。主要山(shan)(shan)(shan)頭(tou)有(you)新甫山(shan)(shan)(shan)、萬丈(zhang)崖、雞鳴山(shan)(shan)(shan)、天竺峰、香爐山(shan)(shan)(shan)、蓮花尖。
因群山(shan)拱圍(wei)蓮花(hua)(hua),尖(jian)狀如(ru)蓮花(hua)(hua),故稱(cheng)蓮花(hua)(hua)山(shan)。為萊蕪第一高(gao)山(shan)。蓮花(hua)(hua)山(shan)山(shan)峰突兀,穿云(yun)摩天,氣勢磅(bang)礴,巍然壯(zhuang)觀,山(shan)中(zhong)危(wei)巖嶙峋,溝壑(he)縱橫,奇(qi)石(shi)幽洞(dong),高(gao)瀑(pu)險潭比比皆是,可謂移步換(huan)景(jing)。山(shan)中(zhong)松青柏翠,花(hua)(hua)木繁(fan)茂(mao),風景(jing)絢麗,歷史文(wen)化(hua)遺(yi)跡豐富(fu),著名的“宮山(shan)夕照”和百米(mi)巨型觀音像,山(shan)頂湖(hu)泊——南海(hai)(蓮花(hua)(hua)池),將成為萊蕪乃至山(shan)東的特有景(jing)觀。
“萊(lai)蕪山(shan)水大觀園、齊(qi)魯(lu)第一觀世音”蓮(lian)(lian)(lian)花(hua)山(shan)是名符其實的具生態(tai)和費(fei)文(wen)化旅游亮(liang)點。蓮(lian)(lian)(lian)花(hua)山(shan)現已(yi)修建6米(mi)寬公路10華里,筑登山(shan)臺階3000米(mi)。有蓮(lian)(lian)(lian)梗峪、魔幻(huan)峪、天(tian)瀑峪、白云(yun)嶺構成三大景(jing)區,共120余個景(jing)點。
蓮(lian)梗峪,因山峪彎曲似梗而托起山頂(ding)之蓮(lian)花(hua)而得名。谷(gu)中飛瀑(pu)流泉(quan),野花(hua)成片,鳥(niao)兒成群,別有(you)天地(di)。洗(xi)(xi)心(xin)(xin)池(chi)意為洗(xi)(xi)心(xin)(xin)絕(jue)塵,開始步(bu)入佛門凈(jing)地(di)之意,為進(jin)山第一景。蓮(lian)花(hua)門,上刻(ke)蓮(lian)花(hua)圖案,下刻(ke)漢字“門”,別有(you)意味;群獅(shi)出(chu)山,龜探頭,徑書巖,護法門神等怪石惟妙生動。
淌銀嶺,光亮如白(bai)銀下涌,氣勢壯(zhuang)偉。玉女(nv)潭(tan),傳說(shuo)漢(han)武帝女(nv)兒小(xiao)玉慕(mu)此潭(tan)幽靜而在此沐浴,潭(tan)中石壁上有(you)天然(ran)少女(nv)裸體浴像。玉女(nv)飛瀑高(gao)約二十米。
飛花碎玉(yu)雄奇(qi)中(zhong)透出柔美。繼(ji)續前行(xing),路有兩(liang)門(men)(men):一(yi)(yi)曰(yue)“愛情門(men)(men)”,二曰(yue)“財福門(men)(men)”,游者任選其一(yi)(yi),只走一(yi)(yi)門(men)(men),昭示一(yi)(yi)種人(ren)(ren)生(sheng)哲理,意為(wei)“魚與熊掌不能兼得”,耐(nai)人(ren)(ren)尋味(wei)。天門(men)(men),威赫(he)聳立,氣勢壯美,門(men)(men)內青翠欲滴(di),如夢(meng)如幻,給人(ren)(ren)以無限遐想(xiang),激(ji)發人(ren)(ren)們進門(men)(men)一(yi)(yi)睹(du)為(wei)快之欲望。天門(men)(men)瀑高掛山腰(yao),飛流直下,碎玉(yu)疊珠,景色十分誘(you)人(ren)(ren)。
瀑(pu)(pu)下有(you)巨(ju)石(shi),曰(yue)“瀑(pu)(pu)流(liu)砥柱”,經千年沖(chong)擊,光滑潔白,使人(ren)蒙生啟迪。沿階而(er)上是龍王(wang)廟,有(you)三(san)(san)潭三(san)(san)瀑(pu)(pu),真乃三(san)(san)瀑(pu)(pu)成(cheng)串(chuan),三(san)(san)潭連珠,人(ren)勞累頓消,而(er)興致盎(ang)然。而(er)紅(hong)(hong)石(shi)灣和紅(hong)(hong)石(shi)瀑(pu)(pu)則(ze)有(you)一(yi)段動人(ren)的故事(shi)。傳(chuan)說漢武帝駐蹕蓮花(hua)山“行宮”,其女兒小(xiao)玉迷戀山色到處游玩,這(zhe)(zhe)一(yi)天在(zai)“千年榆(yu)”上甩秋千,因山風大,小(xiao)女的一(yi)只繡花(hua)紅(hong)(hong)鞋刮落(luo)到此(ci),后來這(zhe)(zhe)里石(shi)頭變成(cheng)紅(hong)(hong)色,所以叫紅(hong)(hong)石(shi)灣。傳(chuan)聞在(zai)吉祥的日子,若站在(zai)紅(hong)(hong)石(shi)瀑(pu)(pu)下,有(you)德之人(ren)能從瀑(pu)(pu)布幻影中看到小(xiao)玉美麗的倩影。
古(gu)碑(bei)峪,有一摩崖古(gu)碑(bei),因(yin)日久年遠,字(zi)跡模糊難辨,誠待有識之士進山(shan)破譯。據(ju)說這里是懸(xuan)空寺(si)遺(yi)址。懸(xuan)空寺(si)的故(gu)事(shi)尤(you)為(wei)神往(wang)。
當地(di)傳說古寺中有一老僧(seng),伴有二(er)童(tong)(tong)(tong),有一天老僧(seng)找其友(you)下棋回寺,見一白凈小孩與二(er)童(tong)(tong)(tong)玩耍,后老僧(seng)問(wen)二(er)童(tong)(tong)(tong)小孩是誰(shui),二(er)童(tong)(tong)(tong)均答(da)不知,老僧(seng)囑二(er)童(tong)(tong)(tong):小孩再(zai)來(lai)時偷(tou)偷(tou)在他(ta)身上栓(shuan)根紅線(xian),明日老僧(seng)順線(xian)找去發(fa)現是一千年人(ren)(ren)參,已能(neng)幻化人(ren)(ren)形。
老僧挖出(chu)回寺(si)燉上,去(qu)約其友共來品嘗,結果二童(tong)因鍋(guo)內(nei)人參(can)奇(qi)香(xiang)難忍,一嘗而不(bu)可收,當聞聽師傅回來,害怕受責(ze),將剩余(yu)人參(can)連湯潑掉,整座寺(si)廟(miao)立(li)即騰空飛升而去(qu)。此(ci)為懸空寺(si)的(de)來歷。只有打米(mi)的(de)古石(shi)臼(jiu)在遺址的(de)石(shi)梁上,默默等待至今(jin)……
