Remember 2019.11 Kansai late autumn trip~ Maple Leaf season came to Nara, Dongda Temple is a must-have place to enjoy the maple. Before I came, I didn't know that the scale of the East Temple was so large, with the Big Buddha Hall as the center, surrounded by the East and West Seven Towers, there are South Gate, there are lecture halls, there are Jietan Courtyards, there are Zhengcang Courtyards, there are February Halls, Fahua Halls, Kaishan Halls, etc. It is really magnificent. It is said that the Big Buddha Hall is the world's largest wooden building. It was just that it was late afternoon from Nara Park to Todaiji Temple, and there was not enough time to browse one by one, only entering the February hall of the temple. But just such a hasty and quick tour is enough to be shocked by the landscape of Red Maple. If you have the opportunity, you must come again!

Spring Day Club, located on the Spring Day Mountain in Nara Park, although it is a mountain, it is actually a little slope. It has a history of more than 1,300 years and has been listed by the United Nations on the World List of Cultural and Historical Heritage Protection. It is the temple of the Fujiwara family, which is a prominent Japanese history, and is dedicated to the patron saint of their family. The Fujiwara family has manipulated the Japanese royal family for more than 300 years, and is also an active promoter and practitioner of the Chinese political and social system and has been fully transplanted into Japan. The never-cut spring mountain, the purple alfalfa that symbolizes family names and ethnic surnames, the mysterious apple tree, the moss-covered stone lanterns, the sticky fawn are all worth seeing.

Remember 2019.11 Kansai Late Autumn Walk~ Xingfu Temple is very close to Kintetsu Nara Station, just a few minutes walk away, and there are deer along the street. The highest temperature on this day in late November was 20 degrees. The huge venue of Xingfu Temple was just a few times in front of the temple and the high tower. I had been sweating. I came back and checked the information before I knew that Xingfu Temple contained so many buildings: there were Zhongjintang, Dongjintang, Nanyuantang, Beiyuantang, Five-Tower, Triple Tower, Dayutang, etc. At that time, I didn't carefully distinguish it, but I bought tickets to enter Zhongjintang to visit. You can't take pictures inside, everyone visits quietly and prays, and there are not many tourists. The monastery always gives people a sense of tranquility and peace, and feels relaxed and happy. Dongjintang is next to the five-fold tower, and Nanyuantang is a building with a hexagonal spire. Each temple should be purchased separately to enter.

The word Jianzhen Dongdu should be heard by many people, telling the story of Tang Dynasty monk Dongdu Japan spreading Buddhism and advanced Chinese culture. Tang Zhaoti Temple in Nara is the temple built by the Japanese for Jianzhen after the arrival of the temple, and there are many monuments and structures left in the past.

One of the most popular tourist attractions in Kyoto. When I went there in the evening, it was crowded with many tourists. It might be better to go early in the morning!

Remember 2019.11 Kansai late autumn trip~ I had a long time playing with the deer that day, and I delayed the trip later. When I rushed to the February hall, it was approaching the evening. I was still a little regretful, but I didn't know that I met the most beautiful February hall. At the door leading to the February hall, a thick layer of golden ginkgo leaves on the ground was beautiful in an instant. Going inside, I saw a few photo enthusiasts, uncles and aunts, saying that the sun began to go down at this time, which was the most beautiful time to take pictures. I immediately looked up to see the temple was wrapped in red, yellow and green layers, and the sunset was shining, and I was immediately shaken. Climbing up the second floor, many tourists gathered here to look down at the palace and enjoy the sunset. Everyone quietly looked at the downtown Nara, looking at the mountains in the distance, against the red maple trees, the sunset golden light looked particularly soft, immersed in the beautiful picture given by nature, feel, enjoy.

🌈 Attraction features: Because the cartoon "Smart One Hugh" is known for the Golden Pavilion, the most eye-catching of course is the Golden Pavilion full of gold foil, the original one has been burned by a monk, and now this one is newly built decades ago, and the new one is of course much more beautiful than the old one. However, in addition to the Golden Pavilion, there are many other places worth seeing: 🎟️ Ticket related: 1. The ticket is very distinctive, and it is a Zhu Yinfu that can bless the whole family's safety and health (if it is a group tour, you must remember to find a tour guide to come back), the fare is very cheap, a dozen yuan. 🕐️ Scenic Area opening hours: 2, 9:00-17:00 (closes early, it is best to go forward at 16:00) 💗 Other tips: 3, there is a handwritten light yellow large-word newspaper at the gate, writing five rings, similar to the Chinese temples can not kill, can not eat meat and other rules, you can use WeChat to scan and translate, If you make a mistake, try not to go in 😂. 4. Come in and look at the Jinge Temple across the lake. This is the best landscape location. The flow of people will take you away. You must seize the opportunity. After passing this village, there is no such store. 5. On the east side of the lake is the abbot's abbot's house, the atmosphere is beautiful, can you go in to see the character. There is a pine tree bonsai at the entrance, one of the "Kyoto Sansong", the name is "Luzhou Song", trimmed into the appearance of a sailing ship, the bow rushes west, symbolizing the meaning of advocating the Western Bliss World. (Recently in the pruning solid type, below the shelf) 6, there is a small waterfall behind the Golden Pavilion Temple, there is a "squid stone" in front of the waterfall, here is called "squid jumping dragon gate", is also a place to pray. 7, "the white snake's head", the small minarets behind is the grave of the white snake, is the incarnation of wealth and wisdom. There were three statues and a coin-throwing bronze in front of them, but there were few coins in the bronze, and the three statues were full of potholes. 8, along the "shunlu" wooden sign, through a small earth slope, overlooking the entire Golden Pavilion Temple, here is also the ancient tea ceremony master's favorite tea place. 9. The Jinge Temple is built near the lake, and the lake is also a must. There are several small islands with five pines in the middle of the lake, which are unique in the traditional Japanese courtyard. 10. The Jinge Temple is small, but it has its unique Buddhist characteristics. The exit has a place for praying for blessings and signings. 11. Finally, when walking down the long ladder, don't forget to taste the special "golden powder matcha ice cream" (other article).

Fallon Temple half-day tour! Thanks to Miss Chen at the front desk of the hotel for her strong recommendation. JR Nara gets off at Falong Temple and changes the scenic circular bus! Prepare change to buy bus tickets! Tickets 🎫 all need cash! The red heart cherry blossoms of the temple are very beautiful! The old version of 10,000 yuan is like the head of the Saint De Prince! Spent 🎫 lucky to visit the Nakamiya Temple, the half-image of the Buddha, the Egyptian Sphinx, the Mona Lisa and called the "three smile statues of the world"!

A bit far from the city, I waited for 20 minutes from Tang Zhaoti Temple and didn't come by bus. I walked to the attraction for 16:28 minutes, only 30 minutes left! Really good!
