Thousand Buddha Hill is also known as Qianfo Shan, one of the three major tourist destinations in Jinan. It is located about 1.5 miles southeast of the city. Buddhism flourished in Shandong Province during the reign of Kaihuang (581-600) of the Sui Dynasty (581-618). Many monasteries were built in the area of Mount Lishan and numerous images of Buddha were carved into the rocky cliffs. Huangshi Ya (Yellowstone Cliff) and Jueshan (Mount Jueshan) are located at the south and east respectively.
