## About Kunyu Mountain National Forest Park

The Shenqing Taoist Temple inside Yanxia Cave on Kunyu Mountain is the ancestral temple of the Quanzhen School and houses dozens of stone statues.
Ancient trees and the ancestral temple of the Quanzhen School give Kunyu Mountain on the Jiaodong Peninsula its special appeal.
