The ancient temple of a thousand years—Zhao Ming Temple, untouched by the dust of the mundane world

Zhao Ming Ancient Temple -A thousand-year-old royal temple, gladly on my way~ About the Ancient Temple Zhao Ming Temple is one of the famous ancient temples of a thousand years in Fuding, Fujian Province, known both domestically and internationally. Constructed in the first year of Datong during the Southern Dynasties' Liang Dynasty (527), it is said to have been commissioned by Prince Zhao Ming, Xiao Tong, and is named after the inscribed plaque it bears. Also, "a seven-level pagoda was built to suppress the warm and numb sensations." During the Song and Ming dynasties, it was destroyed by fire. In the thirteenth year of the Jiajing era of the Ming Dynasty (1534), the pagoda and temple were both repaired. Despite the reconstruction, the temple as a whole retains its ancient charm—delicate and solemn—set atop the mountains, with a broad view~ The Zhao Ming Ancient Pagoda within the temple is also one of the earliest temple pagodas in Fujian Province, slightly tilted~ Each building is very special, different from the ancient temples in the south of the Yangtze River~ The chanting within the temple is ethereal, inspiring awe in the hearts of those who hear it~

So this is how Fujian people celebrate the New Year!!

I happened to arrive in Fuding on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Fuding is really a hidden gem of a city. Not too many tourists, but lots of delicious food! 😋 I came to the ancient temple of Zhaoming to pray for blessings on the first day of the New Year~ I was shocked as soon as I entered the door! 👀 The entire courtyard was full of people, hundreds of banquet tables had already been set up in front of the temple... I found out that the New Year's custom here is to eat vegetarian food! Just find a seat and you can eat, of course, if you come late, you may miss some dishes🙈 I decisively brought my family to join the large dining crowd~ Because we arrived relatively late, we really sat at the table by the door of the main hall to eat, who understands this atmosphere of Buddha's light shining everywhere...🙏 Most of them are locals, and there are also people from the neighboring villages who came to eat. There are not many tourists like us, the atmosphere is great with everyone gathered together! I also tasted the Fuding specialty of frost taro, which is really delicious😋 It feels like eating New Year's Eve dinner at home, it's lively with many people, that's what New Year's is all about~

The tickets for the Mandarin Duck Grassland are too expensive

The scenery is very good 🎫Tickets: 💰60 I found that I have been climbing the mountain🧗‍♀️ Scenic area water 5 yuan Although the scenery is very good, 60 yuan is not worth it. Because there are repeated charges for the projects inside🤨 We climbed the mountain very late, and then it was very dark on the mountain, and there was no light😢😢😢 I feel more and more that this 60 yuan is not worth it I don't recommend bringing children, because they can't run at all😭😭😭
