　　千年古寺山水环绕依山而建，北倚雄伟的红螺山，南照秀美的红螺湖，寺庙周边林壑荫蔽，古树参天，藏风聚气，为一方风水宝地。“红螺三绝景”——御竹林、雌雄银杏、紫藤寄松远近闻名，百万杆翠竹与千亩古松林环拥着整个寺院，形成了一幅“碧波藏古刹”的优美画卷。山川灵气，造就了这里“独占地里风水之妙，独具自然环境之美”的佛家苑林景观。红螺寺景区现已形成了红螺寺、观音寺、五百罗汉园三个佛教文化区和红螺山、青龙山两个自然观景区“一日游”的观光格局，构成了“春看花、夏避暑、秋观叶、冬赏岁寒三友”的观光特色。游人在这里既可以走进古刹，瞻仰庄严佛仪，焚香顶礼，参悟自身心性，祛除诸多烦恼获得平静的愉悦，也可以漫步林间小憩松下或登高望远临风高歌，尽情领略感悟休闲的乐趣。
