South Wutai: A poetic paradise in the snow

South of Chang'an, South Wutai is like a fairyland on earth. The mountains look like silver dragons lying in the snow, showing the majestic spirit of "Taiyi is close to the capital of heaven, and the mountains are connected to the sea." The red walls of the ancient temple and the white snow are intertwined, like ink and wash paintings. The ice crystals and rime are pure and white, blooming on the branches, just like the wonderful scene of "suddenly like a spring breeze overnight, thousands of pear trees bloom." Every branch looks like a pear blossom, whispering the feelings of time in the wind.
