高尔山公园

这里有锁阳楼，配殿，八角庭等，据说是皇家古典园林的建筑，这里也是省级文件保护的地方，这个古塔历史比较久远，是什么九级密檐式，当时只是当路过的人介绍，记得也不是很清楚。这里空气不错，不过觉得不适宜游玩，特意来一趟没有特别的必要。

发表了博文 《高尔山踏雪》 - 高尔山是市区内的山，高高矗立的辽塔凸显抚顺悠远的历史。今冬下了十几场大雪，难得冬日暖阳，和家人从高尔山后坡来了一次雪地穿越

低碳过节，爬抚顺高尔山！很漂亮的公园，绿树环绕，特别适合健身登高。附近的居民好幸福呀，生活在绿色旁。

辽宁抚顺高尔山公园去年花费1400万修缮亮化，夜景很美，可惜手机拍照不给力，上面有辽代的古塔，距今已经一千多年了！

抚顺高尔山公园不仅修建了水泥路面，安装了路灯，而且在登山石阶，楼亭，辽塔也安上了彩灯和投光灯。每到夜晚，华灯齐放，高尔山的夜晚璀璨夺目，熠熠生辉。

高尔山塔始建于辽代，伴随着抚顺城市的岁月变迁，也见证了他的悲伤与繁荣。高尔山塔实为空塔，塔内原有一石碑，被日本人窃走，现展于日本某博物馆内，近千年的风霜古塔毅然不倒，堪称建筑史的奇迹。目前古塔已经重修，而且原有废弃的观音阁寺院也修缮一新，现在香火很盛，信奉佛教的朋友可以一游。原收门票3元，最近听闻免费参观，但未核实。

很小的时候有爬过，山上有座辽代的石塔。山上的庙香火也不旺。但听老人说石塔下面有个蛇妖，偶尔出来蛊惑人心，所以不敢靠近塔身。不知道这几年香火突然很旺，还有人说庙里来了新和尚而且还重请了神，难道这就是外地的和尚会念经的道理！

Mt Gao'er takes about half an hour at a decent pace to reach the top point. From the base there are steps up to various Buddhist shrines, all very beautiful, and the pagoda. These stairs are lit up in the evening which is very beautiful. Beyond the pagoda are paths across the mountain, with huts and benches and outdoor gyms along the way, and also music through outdoor speakers (Bon Jovi playing last time I visited..). The concrete paths will take you about ten minutes from the top then its just tracks but it is easy to navigate to the top! Note that only the base lights up, and although it is easy to find your way down if you're not good at navigating allow yourself time to get down before sunset! There are streetlamps on all the paths but they don't always come on so don't rely on them! The tracks stretch for miles and you can hike a long way on them.At the base is more outdoor gyms, grassy areas and a man made lake. It is a very relaxing place to go. A great day trip or after work hike.

On the approach along the base of the mountain, you may note large sealed tunnel entrances, these tunnels were made and used by the Japanese during WWII. If with a local person, like me, you can have a leisurely climb up the side starting at a point about 1.5km away, at the crest are many pine trees and the local people have areas for stretching and exercise. The site is a wonderful cultural and religious place with active prayer and incense offerings. The art along the stone stairway down is worth seeing, but I am glad we took a different root up. Open and collecting a small maintenance fee from 7:30-4pm. There is a lot to see even if you do not go in the paid entry area.
