Jian Lake

The Buddha was completed during the Tang Dynasty, contemporary with the Leshan Giant Buddha in Sichuan, and has been around for more than 1300 years. This ancient stone Buddha is located in the Keqiao District's Keyan Scenic Area of today's Zhejiang Shaoxing. - This Buddha is also known as the Tiangong Buddha, with a height of 20.8 meters, made entirely of stone. The lower part of the statue is connected to the rock, making it seem as though the Buddha was excavated from the stone itself. The exquisite stone carving craftsmanship is still admired to this day. - 📖 Travel Tips: Ticketed travel route: Keyan → Jianhu → Luzhen (no reservation required) Free admission travel route: Southeast entrance of Luzhen → Walk to Luzhen 📍 Address: Keyan Scenic Area, Shaoxing City, Zhejiang ✅ Best seasons for visiting: Spring, Summer ⏰ Duration of visit: About 2-3 hours Ticket price: 100 (includes Keyan, Jianhu, and a ride on a painted boat) 🚗 Self-driving: Navigate to Keyan Scenic Area 🚇 Subway + Bus: Route 1️⃣ Take Shaoxing Metro Line 1 to Mingzhu Square Station, then transfer to the 'Jianhu No. Bus Line' (towards Qiu Lake Bus Station) at 'Metro Mingzhu Square South' bus stop, and get off at Keyan Scenic Area Station.

Tongjian Lake Park is a very niche natural landscape that I stumbled upon this winter. When I was passing by in the back seat of the car, the reeds were in full bloom, there were no pedestrians around, and there was a feeling of being the heroine of a Korean drama when I was there as a fleeting passerby. I want to share the beauty of this place and the nearly 3km afternoon tea. - 🍵 Drunk Jiuxi Ranch·Team Building Annual Meeting·Lawn Wedding·Camping (Lingshan Scenic Area Store) 🕐 Business starts at 09:00 the next day 🗺️ No. 158 Zhangyu, Hubu Village 🌾 Nearby attractions: Tongjian Lake Park (occupying 1/5 of the area of West Lake) - ✨Special tea product "Double Afternoon Tea" ✔Old white tea/flower tea/nine-curved red plum one of three My sister and I chose old white tea. I personally like the taste of old white tea. It won't be too astringent and will be a bit moist. ✔Persimmon|Green grape|Orange This is a type of fruit. I personally like to eat some oranges when drinking tea, which feels like a match. ✔Surrounding roast Bread, rice cake, chestnut, sweet potato, etc., are delicious roasted foods that are placed on charcoal and don't need to be managed. I really like chestnuts in winter. ✔Melon seeds|Peanuts|Longan This is a tea snack. The amount given by the shop is moderate, not too much or too little. - 📷Surrounding environment My friend and I booked the entire glass sun room in the garden in advance. This room has electricity and internet and can boil water, but it does not block the sun. There are horses🐴 and 🐏 sheep in the garden. When you look at the scenery in the glass showcase, the lamb will also come to see you. - ✏️Tips ①This place is a long way off, and it is recommended that friends who come here drive by themselves as public transportation is not very convenient. ②The shop's entire space is very large and can host activities such as annual team building.
