石門坊位于臨朐縣城西南9公里許深山入口處?？吹絻煞迓柫?，對峙如門，這就進(jìn)入石門坊了。

石門坊群峰環(huán)翠，壁立千仞，嶙峋夔石，青者如黛，白者如堊，峭者 如削，剝者如脫。紅葉黃櫨遍布山崗峽谷，每值深秋，霜打紅葉，潑染山紅；叢櫨間柏，漫紅嵌黛，丹青麗雅，瑰麗如畫。重陽時節(jié)，中外游客 慕名觀賞石門紅葉，絡(luò)繹不絕。

石門山陡崖石壁題"晚照"兩個行書大字，氣勢渾厚流暢，乃清康熙四年衣于帝書。光緒十二年，山石脫落，"晚照"崩圮。同年，衣繡桐、衣文俊重刊，字跡流暢有力。山壁之下，綠樹成蔭，光線幽暗，待日西斜，殘陽返照，一束光柱穿過特殊的山勢，透過林隙，"晚照"光彩頓現(xiàn)，若明鏡高懸幽谷，奇特壯觀，此為"駢邑石門晚照殘"的佳句所由。"晚照"石崖下面，有涓涓溪流，匯于小池，池水清澈。當(dāng)夕陽直射"晚照"，"金紙"墨跡，倒映池中，微風(fēng)漾漪，其景特異。

登上石門山東頂，極目西眺，屏翠迭嶂，逶迤跌宕。據(jù)說自清嘉慶年間，石門坊始見黃櫨，入民國后，黃櫨逐漸成林，布滿山巒。

今年深秋，霜打櫨葉，遍山紅透。間以蒼松翠柏與黃葉映襯，遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)望去，如潑紅嵌黛，妍麗多姿。

Shimenfang Mountain is locat- ed in the southwest of Linqu County， about nine kilometers away from the downtown area. At the entrance to the mountain stand two peaks facing each other just like a stone gate， from which comes the name of Shimenfang， meaning stone gate archway.

With the descent of frost， the leaves of smoke trees on the mountain become red in the late autumn， turning the whole mountain into a sea of red leaves dotted with some green pines and cypresses as well as the yellow leaves of other trees. From a distance， Shimenfang looks like a beautiful world of colors， attracting endless tourists home and abroad to appreciate its gorgeous autumn scenery of red leaves every year.
