Sacred Mount Jiuhua: A Spiritual Journey and Majestic Scenery of a Buddhist Holy Mountain
Mount Jiuhua, one of the four sacred Buddhist mountains in China, boasts a profound Buddhist cultural atmosphere and breathtaking natural scenery. As you step through the mountain gate, layers of peaks and ancient temples create a picturesque scene, with numerous pagodas and the sound of bells evoking a sense of infinite spirituality and peace. Mount Jiuhua is home to many temples, each with its unique characteristics, such as Tiantai Temple, Qiyuan Temple, and the Hall of the Holy Relics, all embodying devout faith and a long history.
Climbing along the winding mountain paths, you can overlook the cloud-filled valleys, with lush pine forests and steep cliffs forming a natural painting. Reaching the summit of Tiantai Peak, the view opens up, revealing towering peaks and drifting white clouds. Especially at dawn or dusk, the sunrise and sunset at Mount Jiuhua paint the entire valley in golden hues, resembling a fairyland and making one feel transcendent.
Mount Jiuhua is not only a place of Buddhist pilgrimage but also a sanctuary for spiritual cultivation. Whether you are a believer or not, the tranquility and solemnity here can help you leave behind the hustle and bustle of the mundane world. Walking along the mountain paths of Mount Jiuhua feels like each step brings you closer to inner peace. This is a journey of physical and spiritual cleansing, as well as a sacred dialogue with nature.

There is a homestay on Jiuhua Mountain
Backed by mountains, overlooking the Bai Sui Palace, and overlooking the Moon Body Bao Dian
I always want to escape the noise and fatigue of the city, go to the mountains to live in seclusion, and sit in the yard to watch the sunset return to the mountains and seas. Standing in the yard, you can feel the comfort of being in the mountains and wilds
The homestay welcomes the sunrise in the morning, watches the sunset in the evening, and watches the starry sky at night. On the guest room viewing terrace, breathe in the freshness of the mountains and wilds.
The courtyard is equipped with a swimming pool and camping tables and chairs. Listen to the frogs and birds singing, have a drink in the wind, and feel the peace of mind brought by the mountain life.
Muyunju has a total of eleven guest rooms, each of which is decorated with logs, and there are also dining boxes, tea rooms, viewing areas, outdoor viewing and other leisure areas.

✔Braised pork with dried bamboo shoots (the black pork and dried bamboo shoots are very fragrant when stir-fried together, the dried bamboo shoots are soaked in meat juice and taste very good)
✔Fried rice chicken soup (the soup made from old hens is incredibly delicious, if you like fried rice, you can add fried rice)
There are also cultural and creative products and tiramisu with the Jiuhua Mountain logo! It's great for checking in and taking photos, and it tastes great too!

Jiuhua Mountain, Chizhou One-Day Tour: You have to play like this!
Accompanying my mother on a Yangtze River cruise, passing by Jiuhua Mountain in Chizhou, and going ashore to play for a day, the tour guide's itinerary is compact, and this is how you play in a day...
Take a bus from the pier, Jiuhua Mountain has a direct bus to the scenic area, 50 yuan/person
There are many places to stay in the Jiuhua Mountain Scenic Area, you can stay at the foot of the mountain or on the mountain, and staying on the mountain saves time!
✅Go to Jiuhua Mountain Bai Sui Palace
There is a cable car directly to the top of the mountain at the foot of the mountain. After the cable car comes out, you can take a picture of the "Natural Reclining Buddha" first. Those who have a Buddha's fate can see where the reclining Buddha is at a glance!
✅Bai Sui Palace's flesh relic, it is said that Jiuhua Mountain is very effective here. If you have a Buddha in your heart, you might as well worship and pray for peace. Bai Sui Palace is the most effective.
Although the flesh of the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva cannot be seen, many flesh Bodhisattvas can be seen in many temples in Jiuhua Mountain.
Many temples are very good photo check-in points. Because the time is too tight, many places have not been played. I will come again next time and play well.
I hope that all the brothers will come to Jiuhua Mountain more when they have time!

Anhui! Mount Jiuhua! Stayed in the same detached courtyard three times! Will stay again next time
Visited Mount Jiuhua three times... This detached courtyard is truly full of artistic vibes!
The night view of Mount Jiuhua from downstairs is really beautiful!
Directly escape the hustle and bustle of the city,
It's definitely a paradise.
🍃Artistic small building on Mount Jiuhua
I come to Mount Jiuhua to pray once a year,
This artistic homestay is the best.
Located in the core area of Mount Jiuhua,
When there is traffic control, take the bus up the mountain,
The owner and the housekeeper picked us up,
They helped us with our luggage, which was really heartwarming.
🍃Clean and comfortable rooms with breakfast
Breakfast at 6:30 is a bit early,
But it is rich in variety and tastes very homely.
Fried rice with eggs, shumai, fried eggs, and watermelon...
The homestay design is very Zen,
You can also copy scriptures to calm your mind.

The recommendation for a three-day, two-night stay at Jiuhua Mountain is so relaxing
Isn't there a popular saying now, 'Young people choose to burn incense instead of striving and working'?
So I went to Jiuhua Mountain with my friends.
When we arrived, we found that there were really a lot of people burning incense!! I suggest not coming on weekends if possible.
💕 There are traffic controls on the mountain, so you might have to walk a few sections (unless you take the bus).
We chose to stay at Yunjian Inn for 2 nights on the mountain and highly recommend it (if you are just burning incense, one night is enough).
💕 The environment, service, and food are really great!!
At first, we chose it because of its 'Buddha View Room', where you can see the 99-meter Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva statue when you open the window, plus the infinity pool. The pool water is very clean and is said to be mountain spring water.
There are many room types, one side facing the Buddha, and the other side facing a small courtyard by the road.
💕 About the shuttle service
They have a very professional shuttle team, well-coordinated with the high-speed rail, with different drivers for different routes, and they are available on call. They can also take you to the attractions you want to visit. If you drive yourself, you might get a bit confused.
