Recently, Ms. Fang, a citizen, called to report that the Yue Lao Temple in Qianfo Mountain was temporarily closed a few years ago, but it was still not open on this year's Chinese Valentine's Day. For unknown reasons, the statues in the temple were also removed. In addition, there are tourists from other places who come here because of the Wanfo Cave, but find that it has been closed to the public for many years. In this regard, the staff of the Business Department of Qianfo Mountain Scenic Area said that according to the relevant requirements of the "Regulations on the Administration of Religious Affairs" issued in 2019, rectification has been made. Yue Lao Temple and Wanfo Cave have been closed, and whether they will be reopened in the future depends on the notification from the superiors. It is reported that during the two sessions of Jinan this year, a member of the Municipal CPPCC suggested that the Wanfo Cave project be renamed the Grotto Art Exhibition Center and reopened to inject new vitality into Jinan's tourism market and enhance Jinan's attractiveness as a tourist destination. For this reason, many scenic spots in the scenic area have been closed and whether they will be reopened, which has aroused heated discussions among many citizens.

Citizens reported that Yue Lao Temple and Wanfo Cave had been closed for many years without any announcement, and tourists and citizens often went to empty places.

"About three or four years ago, when I went to Thousand Buddha Mountain, I found that the Yue Lao Temple was not open. The staff said it was temporarily closed. This year, when I passed by on the Chinese Valentine's Day, I found that the door of the Yue Lao Temple was locked and the statues inside the temple had been removed." Recently, Ms. Fang, a citizen, called to report that she found that the Yue Lao Temple was closed when she was visiting Thousand Buddha Mountain on the Chinese Valentine's Day this year, but there was no notice posted outside the temple. When she asked the staff, she was only told that they received a notice from their superiors but did not give a specific reason.
