正觉寺
Zhengjue Temple in Boshan is a serene and charming spot, ideal for a calm break amidst travel. The temple’s traditional Buddhist architecture and peaceful setting make it a worthwhile visit, especially since it’s free to enter. After exploring the temple, head to Qingmei Residence Boshan Halal Restaurant nearby, a local favorite known for its crispy beef jerky and sesame beef. It’s an authentic taste of Boshan, where the flavors truly stand out, adding a tasty finish to a cultural day out.

鲁山国家森林公园
Lushan, the fourth-highest mountain in Shandong, stands at an elevation of 1,108.3 meters. Lushan Forest Park is mainly divided into two scenic areas: Zaoshuyu Scenic Area and Guanyun Peak Scenic Area. There are no additional charges once you enter, and there are no cable cars or glass bridges. Unlike mountains with well-paved stairways, Lushan remains relatively undeveloped and closer to its natural state, making it popular with visitors who enjoy scrambling up the trail using both hands and feet.Since there is no shuttle transportation within the park, many self-driving visitors choose to drive directly from the main gate ticket office along the winding mountain road to the Lushan parking area at 900 meters above sea level. From there, they hike through the Guanyun Peak Scenic Area. However, if you’re confident in your physical fitness, you can start your climb from Zaoshuyu!One spot that's easy to miss but definitely worth seeing is Songyun Lake — it’s beautiful, so don’t pass it by! It’s near the Visitor Center; as you come down from the mountain, take a left turn. If you have trouble finding it, you can navigate to Lushan Hotel or ask the staff at the Visitor Center for directions.
