Jinan Thousand Buddha Mountain Guanyin Garden Guanyin Hall and God of Wealth Hall, Sanqing Temple Queen Mother Hall and Sanqing Hall

After walking up from the main gate of the auspicious place, there is a very conspicuous large plaque of Pushi Ganlu inside. Inside is a Guanyin Hall, which is also the main building in this Guanyin Garden 🧐 . Then next to it on the side is a God of Wealth Hall. After checking in here, the Guanyin Garden is done, and I am ready to leave 🚶 . After leaving the Guanyin Garden, I saw many large stone statues on the way down the mountain. I didn't check in all of them, I just chose this one Maitreya Buddha to check in 😁 . I thought those large stone statues encountered on the way down the mountain were the scenery, and there should be nothing else along the way. But at this time, I saw the existence of this Sanqing Temple on the left, so I definitely had to go in and take a look 🧐 . There were many people coming and going at the entrance, but it was better inside, the crowd was not so dense 😁 . First, I checked in the Queen Mother Hall and the Sanqing Hall inside. The buildings here are really more beautiful than each other, making people feel extremely fond of them 🙇

Opening Scene of Thousand Buddha Mountain in Jinan: The South Gate directly faces the Maitreya Buddha

I originally planned to take a train to Jinan Station to visit Thousand Buddha Mountain, but I couldn't get a ticket, so I had to go to Daming Lake Station instead because tickets were available for that route. However, the distance from both stations to Thousand Buddha Mountain is about the same, around five kilometers, so it wasn't a big deal. 😁 After exiting the station, I took the K31 bus from the Daming Lake Railway Station bus stop heading towards the Yanshan Overpass East direction. Then, I got off at the Jing Shi Road Kexueyuan Road bus stop and walked 1.1 kilometers to reach the Thousand Buddha Mountain Scenic Area. 🙇 But I arrived at the South Gate of Thousand Buddha Mountain. At first, I didn't know this, but the ticket seller informed me. The ticket costs 28 yuan online and 30 yuan on-site. I bought it on-site since the difference was just 2 yuan. 🧐 I had read online that it's better to climb from the North Gate, so I asked for directions to the North Gate. The ticket seller told me to keep turning right to reach the North Gate. However, after walking for a while, I didn't know where I was and ended up seeing this big Maitreya Buddha statue. 😓 After checking in here, I directly took the mountain trail next to it instead of looking for the North Gate. Since there was a direct path up the mountain, I decided to take it. Along the winding mountain road, you can also see the side view of the Maitreya Buddha statue. 🧐 Walking up the winding mountain road to the steps above can be a bit tiring, but you can rest for a while once you get up there. 😁

Explore the forgotten millennium secret realm on foot in Chengdu, serene and niche

In the golden autumn, it's the best time for outdoor hiking; today, I will unveil the mysterious veil of a millennium fairy mountain hidden around Chengdu. This place integrates natural beauties such as verdant mountains, peculiar water sources, and profound caves, and what's unique is the cultural relics where Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism blend together, passed down through the ages. It's rarely visited, with diverse routes, relaxing and pleasant, and free to enter, making it an ideal place to spend time with friends and family on weekends, hike for wishes, and get close to nature🌿. 🌟Recommended reasons: 1. The spectacle of cliffs and sea of clouds: Along the way, you can not only visit the hanging Taoist temple built on the cliff but also witness the true face of the cliff carvings listed as cultural relics; the mountaintop offers a wide view, overlooking Huashuiwan Town, and the spectacle of the sea of clouds shrouded in mist awaits your discovery. 2. Cave exploration, endless fun: Near the mountaintop, there is a huge cave full of the joy of exploration, but you need to prepare the right equipment and accompany experienced people to ensure safety. 3. Quiet and peaceful, away from the hustle and bustle: Although close to Huashuiwan, the fame of Xiling Snow Mountain makes this place little known, thus maintaining a rare tranquility, with few visitors, enjoying the pleasure of the wilderness. 4. Multiple route options, choose your own difficulty: Leisure trip: From the parking lot to Yuhuangdian, all stone steps, mainly to appreciate the cliff carvings and Taoist temple, about 3 kilometers round trip. Intermediate trip: From the parking lot to Wanfoding, including stone steps, wooden steps, and sky steps, to view the Bagua diagram and the sea of clouds, about 5 kilometers round trip. Advanced trip: From the parking lot to the big cave, including stone steps, wooden steps, and tractor roads, to explore the cave, about 11 kilometers round trip. 📍Location: Qianfo Mountain Scenic Area in Dayi 🎫Free admission🅿️Free parking 🛣️Complete route: Parking lot→Yuanjuedong cliff carvings→Doumu Hall→Yunyu Pavilion→Yuhuangdian→Taishang Laojun statue→Wanfoding→Dadongkou→Mountain base 🏠Accommodation recommendation: Having visited Dayi multiple times, I always choose Qianfo Zhen Na Villa No.1, and the recently opened No.2 is even more eye-catching, a standalone French hot spring villa with a tranquil environment and impressive South France window views. The owner has meticulously replicated the design of a French blogger, and each piece of furniture is a work of art. The homestay also offers the ancient sea hot springs from the same source as Haosheng and Siji Hot Spring Valley, with very high privacy. With five rooms, it's very suitable for several families to travel together. 🍽️Food recommendation: The vegetarian meal at Qianyuan Taoist Temple, 20 yuan per person; The 'Guankou Huduohua' in Yuelai Town, with fresh ingredients and delicious taste, 25 yuan per person, great value for money. 🌈Nearby attractions: Anren Ancient Town, Xiling Snow Mountain, Huashuiwan, Baishi River Valley. ⚠️Tips: 1.
