The images of strange rocks are vivid and interesting, such as jade rabbits, fat pigs, goats, fierce tigers, stubborn monkeys... Local people often say: "The stone lazi in Lingshan hides the twelve zodiac animals." Visitors marvel that it is a natural creation, with various forms and lifelike shapes.

There are also wonders in the stone caves. The light-transmitting top of the mountain is called "Nantian Gate", and the stone shed hall is called "Wuji Cave". It can accommodate thousands of people. The top cover drips pure water, which can be used to wash your hair and make your eyes bright. There are also Bingliu Cave and Daxian Cave, which are really magical and mysterious.

Lingshan Zhongling Yuxiu

Jimo Lingshan, formerly known as Lingshan, also known as Ganoderma lucidum, was named because of its shape. Later, due to the popularity of incense, it was called "Lingshan". It is famous for its "beautiful bells, outstanding people, and the Virgin of the Fairy Mountain". The entire mountain is composed of three hills arranged from east to west. Lingshan is located in the south of Lingshan Town, 10 kilometers north of Jimo City. The altitude is 154.6 meters, the east longitude is 127°27', and the north latitude is 36°32'. National Highway 204 passes along the foot of the mountain. It is the commanding height between the two main highways of Qingyan and Qingshi, and it is also the barrier to the north of the city.

Lingshan Mountain is a tourist attraction with lush trees and beautiful scenery. On a sunny day, you can climb up to see the sea rocks and the sea to the southeast; on hazy days, the top of the mountain is covered with clouds and mist that never disperse, which is called "wearing a hat on Lingshan Mountain". In the spring and autumn, hundreds of birds gather together, circling and singing joyfully, and sometimes a red "fire fox" jumps through the forest.

Lingshan not only has beautiful natural scenery, but also has a long history, numerous historical sites, unique temple architecture, and magnificent scale. There are also many legends of Our Lady of Lingshan interspersed with it.

It is said that the Lingshan Temple was founded in the 5th year of King Zhou Yuan, that is, 471 BC. It underwent two major restorations during the Wanli Period of the Tang Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. It had been destroyed since the Daoguang and Xianfeng years of the Qing Dynasty. In the 18th year of the Republic of China, it was repeatedly restored and expanded to its current size in 1929 AD. The restored Lingshan temples include the Notre Dame Hall, Eyesight Hall, Pimples Hall, Shengsheng Hall, Birthing Hall, Baizi Hall, Taishan Old Mother Hall, Wusheng Hall, Dragon King Hall, Slap Hall, Three Gods Hall, and Eighteen Hands. Among the palaces, the Notre Dame Palace is the largest and most magnificent.

Qingxiao Yuanjun, the deity of the Holy Mother Hall, is also known as Lingshan Old Mother. According to the record of Zhou Rupi, a wine worshiper during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, when the Lingshan Temple was renovated in the Wanli year, Yuanjun's remains were excavated and a stone tablet was found. "The Monument of Yuanjun" records that in the fifth year of King Yuan of the Zhou Dynasty, Wang, a woman from Zhaoyuan, was raised as a daughter-in-law by her aunt in Jinmen, Jimo. She was very ugly, and she was beaten and scolded in the morning and evening, and she had no peace. The water was in the east of the mountain, and when he met the immortal, he restored his true appearance. On April 15th, he climbed to the top of the mountain, sat on the big rock, and was immortalized as "Qingxiao Yuanjun". Later generations built a temple to worship him, and designated April 15th as the Lingshan Temple Fair Day.

There are ten major landscapes in Lingshan:
