Intelligent Landscape of ShuiShan

Intelligent Landscape of ShuiShan is the only coastal grottoes group in Ninghai – Wushan Grottoes, following the opening of the Buzhou Divine Mountain. Unlike the magical and magnificent Buzhou Divine Mountain, which showcases the perfect combination of ancient stone quarrying wonders and nature, the Intelligent Landscape of ShuiShan is uniquely creative, creating a wisdom-themed park that integrates sculpture, images, objects, and scenes to highlight the perfect combination of wisdom and nature.

Wushan Grottoes possess abundant ancient quarrying cave resources. Through the overall observation and artistic imagination of professionals, slightly damaged rocks are carved to integrate with the surrounding rock mass, forming a large stone carving art piece. This millennial cooperation between modern artists and ancient craftsmen will become a model of artistic development that protects history and achieves a win-win situation. At the same time, the themes of the carvings are consistent or compatible with the intelligent theme of the scenic area. This finishing touch can be regarded as turning stones into gold and turning waste into treasure.

According to the remaining inscriptions and historical records, the scenery of the ShuiShan God Temple has existed since before the Western Han Dynasty, and the ancient ShuiShan scenic spot was known as the first of the ‘Pinggan Eight Scenes’. Historical records show that during the Western Han Dynasty, King Qing of the Western Han, Liu Yan, styled Pinggan, was appointed by Emperor Wu of Han to govern Guangping, thus changing the name of Guangping State to Pinggan State. King Liu Yan was proficient in classics and history, loved literature, established many schools, promoted education, loved to visit famous historical sites, and arranged eight scenic spots including ShuiShan, King Zhao Hui’s Temple, Mao Sui’s Tomb, Zhushan Stone Carvings, Zishan, and King Zhao’s Mausoleum in Guangping State as the ‘Pinggan Eight Scenes’, with ShuiShan listed as the first scene, named ‘Congenial Mountain Embracing Elegance’. This occurred from the second year of Emperor Wu of Han’s Expedition (91 BC) to the second year of Emperor Xuan of Han’s Wu Feng (56 BC), indicating that the scenic spot of ShuiShan and King Zhao Hui’s Temple had already gained fame in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty.
