The Xuedou Temple in the center of Xuedou Mountain is one of the 'Ten Temples of Zen in the World'. It has the world's tallest, sitting bronze open-air Maitreya Buddha statue, and is solemn and dignified. San Yin Tan San Yin Tan is named for its hidden valley and three pools of water, forming a landscape composed of three waterfalls in Xuedou Mountain. From top to bottom, they are called: Shang Yin Tan, Zhong Yin Tan, Xia Yin Tan. Xu Fengyan This scenic area has many fun amusement projects, such as flying rad, glass plank road, cloud ladder hiking, etc., and you can also camp and barbecue, which is very suitable for team building. Qian Zhang Yan Waterfall From the Imperial Book Pavilion through the Hundred Steps, you can reach the bottom of Qian Zhang Yan. The water hits the pool, the pool water is clear, and the cold air is attacking. Looking up at the waterfall from the bridge, the waterfall pours down, the water vapor is misty, as if entering a fairyland. Miao Gao Tai is a platform at the top of Qian Zhang Yan Waterfall. From the top of the mountain, you can overlook the whole view, especially a small villa, where old Jiang once lived. Travel Guide: Xu Fengyan: Take a car to the 'San Yin Tan Transfer Station', continue to transfer, walk up the mountain, reach the highest point of Xuedou Mountain - Xu Fengyan, it is said to be the place where the immortals ascended by riding a bird. The main attractions of Xu Fengyan are Xu Fengyan Waterfall. Climbing up to the Hui Xian Pavilion, you can overlook the entire side rock, towering and towering, with the words 'Xu Fengyan Splashing Snow' written on it. Walking down the mountain road, you can walk to the foot of Xu Fengyan (there are more than 800 steps back and forth, which is quite a test of physical strength), you can look up at the entire waterfall, the waterfall is not spectacular, it feels that the drop is not big enough, and the water flow is not wide enough. San Yin Tan: Come out of Xu Fengyan, take a car, go down the mountain, return to the 'San Yin Tan Transfer Station', get off, the entrance to the San Yin Tan scenic area is opposite. This time it was not a coincidence. Only Shang and Zhong Yin Tan were available for play in San Yin Tan. Xia Yin Tan, as well as the small train and cable car connecting Xia Yin Tan and the next attraction Qian Zhang Yan, were all closed due to construction and renovation. In Yin Tan, the mountains are clear and the water is beautiful. You can see a small section of the waterfall all the way down to Zhong Yin Tan. Qian Zhang Yan - Miao Gao Tai: Come out of San Yin Tan, then go to the opposite San Yin Tan Transfer Station, take a car, continue down the mountain, and go to the next attraction Qian Zhang Yan - Miao Gao Tai. Walking up the mountain along Qian Zhang Yan, you can reach Miao Gao Tai. Miao Gao Tai is actually the office location of Chiang Kai-shek after he stepped down in his hometown of Fenghua Xikou. There are many historical materials related to old Jiang in Miao Gao Tai, which are of great cultural significance. Standing on Miao Gao Tai and looking far away, you can see the lake below - Ting Xia Lake, a magnificent scenery, no wonder old Jiang likes to live here. Xuedou Temple: From Qian Zhang Yan - Miao Gao Tai, go to the opposite San Yin Tan Transfer Station, take a car, go down the mountain, and arrive at Xuedou Temple at the foot of the mountain. This is the last stop of the tour. The most shocking thing in Xuedou Temple is the tall Maitreya statue. From any angle, Maitreya is smiling at people. Due to the hot weather and I have no special feelings for Buddhist temples, I just climbed to the highest point of the Maitreya statue, took pictures and checked in, then returned to the bus stop, took a bus to Xikou Fenghua Tourist Center, and then transferred to bus 988. It was another half an hour's drive, and I arrived at Ningbo Station, ending a day's tour.

The awe-inspiring 'Little Huangguoshu Waterfall' appears in the deep mountains of Ningbo during the rainy season. The photography is spectacular, and the writing is profound. Cloud Wanderer takes you to discover the beauty of the journey, niche, serene, a place you want to visit again after having been there. — Taking the road less traveled, I found an incredibly beautiful hiking trail and discovered Ningbo's 'Little Huangguoshu Waterfall'. During the rainy season, the water-rich path is continuously fed by streams and waterfalls, with new greenery blossoming, entering the most beautiful moment. — Originally, I was heading to the purple-red Tingxia Lake in Aodi Village, but somehow I turned into a side road. At the first hairpin turn on the Huxi Line (Ni's Bridge, with two or three households), you can park your car and follow the cement mountain road all the way to Ni's Mountain Village. — Location: Ni's Mountain, Huxi Line, Tingxia Lake Reservoir, Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province, hiking navigation to Tingxia Lake 'Ni's Bridge'. — The mountain road is wide enough for driving, winding quietly along the way. Admire the elegant peaks on the right side, and the majestic rock ravines (which are the continuous mountains of Xuekou Xuedou Mountain Qianzhangyan-Sanyintan line, stepping out of the mountains for a full view feels even more impressive), with the sounds of birds and mountain springs incessantly, and azaleas, paulownia, and cherry blossoms appearing from time to time. — Ni's Mountain Village is nearly abandoned, and following the water channel on the right side of the village without stopping, I was led into a stream and discovered a stunningly beautiful group of waterfalls hidden in the mountains. — Because it is hidden in the valley and has three clear pools, it is named Sanyintan. From top to bottom, they are called Upper Sanyintan, Middle Sanyintan, and Lower Sanyintan. The waterfalls, pools, and streams during the water-rich period are called the 'three wonders' of Sanyintan. — The twin waterfalls of Lower Sanyintan are also breathtaking at this time! The waterfall, over 40 meters high, cascades down the cliff, making a loud noise. One is solid and thick like rich nectar, the other is thin like a gauze curtain of water. Standing by the pool, with mist all around, it feels like being in a Chinese ink painting. On the rocks beside the pool, there is an inscription that reads 'Xueshan is famous in the southeast, and you won't see the wonder without reaching Sanyintan'. — The 'Little Huangguoshu Waterfall' should be beyond Sanyintan, located at Lover's Bridge (a rope bridge across the mountain stream), where the view from the bridge is like a miniature version. — The route I took was Ni's Bridge - Yansha - Ni's Mountain Village - Water Channel - Sanyintan - Lover's Bridge loop. In the deep mountain valley, the water-rich stream accompanies you all the way down. Huge rocks stand erect, steep cliffs and deep ravines, moss spots on the rocks, green branches sprawl along the ditches: 'To brew the spring mountain, monk's rooms are built with hollowed bamboo.'
