The stone inscription on the left is the poem Huayan nunnery written by Cui Yingjie, governor of Shandong Province during the reign of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, when he visited Laoshan in the 31st year of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty (1766).

It's a world away from here. How can I live there? " The poem vividly depicts the mountain and sea scenery of Huayan Temple, the music of Qin, the song of song and the singing of Sanskrit in the ancient temple, which makes people suddenly break away from the heart of the world. On the right side of the stone carving, there are two big characters of "Grand View", which are strong strokes. They are regular script, engraved in Yin, with a diameter of 110cm.

In ancient times, Wanghai tower was one of the famous places to watch the sun in Laoshan mountain. Many famous works have been left by scholars from ancient times to modern times. For example, Huang Yan, a scholar of Jimo in the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, wrote the book "watching the sunrise at Wanghai stone": "Fusang looms with red waves, and the dawn is gradually opening. The fog is scattered, the sky is half clear, and the sea gate is high. Qihua greets Xuming, three islands, and badminton makes plans for liuao in the early morning. Who is looking for the three boundary road of Yingzhou It vividly depicts the spectacular view of sunrise on Wanghai tower.

As the Wanghai tower stands on the top of the mountain, the ancient roads are full of thorns and few people visit it. Such a beautiful landscape has been obliterated by the barren mountains, and almost no one knows its existence. It's a pity that we can't visit the Wanghai tower when we visit Huayan Temple.
