Qianshan, or One Thousand Mountain, is a mountainous national park, 17 kilometers southeast of Anshan City, and covers an area of 44 square kilometers. It has a total of 999 peaks, hence its name.

The park is famous for its towering peaks, rock pines, ancient temples and pear blossoms. It is filled with both Buddhist and Taoist temples, monasteries and nunneries. Among the peaks, a naturally wrought statue of the Buddha stands 70 meters tall, claiming to be the largest naturally occurring image of Maitreya Buddha in the world.
