The Shi Dao Chi Shan Fa Hua Temple Scenic Area is a 4A-level tourist attraction in China. Shi Dao Chi Shan is one of the three major scenic areas in Weihai, located northwest of Shi Dao Port, the largest fishing port in northern China. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, Shi Dao Chi Shan stood majestically on the coast of the Yellow Sea, guarding the important Shi Dao port, connecting Korea, Japan, and South Asia, and attracting merchants to become a famous mountain in northern China.

In the fourth year of the reign of Emperor Muzong of Tang (824 AD), Zhang Baogao, a Korean national hero and maritime trader, built the "Chi Shan Fa Hua Yuan" here. The Japanese monk Ennin visited Shi Dao Chi Shan three times, residing at the temple for two years and nine months. He wrote "The Record of a Pilgrimage to the Land of the Buddha," considered one of the three greatest travelogues of the East, along with Xuanzang's "Great Tang Records on the Western Regions" and Marco Polo's "Travels." "The Record of a Pilgrimage to the Land of the Buddha" is not only a historical document shining brightly in the history of Sino-Japanese cultural exchanges, but also an immortal monument in the history of world cultural relations.

In-depth research into this temple allows for a multi-faceted understanding of Tang Dynasty politics, economics, culture, and diplomacy, and has immeasurable and profound implications for the friendly Sino-Japanese cultural exchanges. This has made the site a Buddhist holy land and a historical testament to the friendly exchanges between the peoples of China, Korea, and Japan.
