Amitabha! There is actually a huge golden dragon head hidden in the temple
This temple actually has a huge golden dragon head.
It is very rare to see this in temples.
You can see the dragon head of the golden dragon from a distance at the foot of the mountain.
It looks even more shocking when you get closer.
This is the Jinlong Temple in Luzhou, Sichuan!
To get to the dragon head, you need to climb a relatively steep staircase.
Because the entire temple is built along the mountain.
So all the way is up and down the mountain.
The golden dragon is just the first main hall of the Jinlong Temple.
Guanyin Hall.
Standing on the big dragon head, you have a wide view.
You can see the Yangtze River at a glance.
The scenery at the foot of the mountain is all in sight.
In an instant, there is a feeling of overlooking all the small mountains.

The upcoming Suzhou is very beautiful, I suggest you go have a look, babies
There are some sunny days, a few early cherry blossoms, enjoying the flowers, visiting the gardens, momentarily escaping the hustle and bustle.
Only a few trees are in full bloom, but they are blooming densely and vibrantly.
The pink hues set against the blue sky give a very healing feeling (it turns out that blue and pink match so well).
If you want to take photos of a cherry blossom forest, you probably have to wait until the end of the month, as currently, the cherry blossom trees in full bloom only show a faint color.
PS: The Shangfangshan Flower Festival starts on March 23rd.

Wenling Fangshan Travel Guide
See mountains and waters, meet Fangshan! Every grass and tree has a spirit. Fangshan-Nansongyan Scenic Spot, located in Daxi Town, Wenling City, is the boundary mountain of Taizhou and Wenzhou.
Fangshan has two sightseeing routes
Route 1: Double Elephants Guarding the Gate——Meiyu Waterfall——Qiaodou Cave——Fangyan Academy——North and South Dou Cave——Guanyin Hall——Five Elephants Peak——Wenbi Peak——Xiantian Gate——Yunxiao Temple——Upper and Lower Tianhu——Fangshan Top——Magpie Bridge——Yaochi
Route 2: Double Elephants Guarding the Gate——Meiyu Waterfall——Qiaodou Cave——Fangyan Academy——North and South Dou Cave——Guanyin Hall——Five Elephants Peak——Wenbi Peak——Xiantian Gate——Yunxiao Temple——Yaochi——Magpie Bridge——Fangshan Top
Fangshan was once awarded the title of World Geopark and was rated as a national scenic spot.
The most surprising spot in Fangshan for me is Yaochi. You must walk to the position of the Magpie Bridge and overlook the entire Yaochi, the view is very open!
Yaochi, with a water storage capacity of 40,000 cubic meters, is flanked by steep cliffs, the pool water is calm and clear, the Magpie Bridge is in the air, the scenery is beautiful, it seems that the Yaochi in the sky has fallen to the earth.
The front section of Yaochi is a canyon 300 meters long, 30 meters wide, and 25 meters deep. After the dam is built, it stores water to form a "Tianhe". The cliffs on both sides of Yaochi stand upright, and there is a 10 cm thick belt-shaped rock layer on the rock wall. The color is relatively light, it is volcanic debris deposited after a volcanic eruption, geologically called "belt". It's spectacular!
From the foot of the mountain to the mountain, they are all paved with stone slabs. Fangshan is also suitable for regular physical fitness exercises. Depending on the individual's climbing speed, the round trip takes about 2-3 hours.
Address: Northeast Changyu Town, Bay South Corner, Wenling City, Taizhou City
🎫:40
Opening hours:6:00-17:00
Catering: After climbing Fangshan, you can dine at Yunwu Mountain Villa, which is a farmhouse. Self-driving from Fangshan to Yunwu Mountain Villa is about 2.8 kilometers

I'd say it's the ceiling of beauty for ancient towns in Sichuan, and I guess no one would disagree
|||In Hejiang County, Luzhou City, Sichuan, there is an ancient town with a big name but little fame—'Fubao Ancient Town'. It was once listed among the top four ancient towns by National Geographic China, and also boasts titles such as the most beautiful ancient town in Sichuan, one of the top ten ancient towns in Sichuan, and the essence of mountain architecture in China.
Despite its many titles, why is 'Fubao Ancient Town' said to be little-known? Because it is located on the southeastern edge of Sichuan, bordering Chongqing and Guizhou, far from the political and cultural center of Sichuan. A self-drive trip from Chengdu to 'Fubao Ancient Town' takes about 4 hours, covering a distance of over 300 kilometers, which is quite a long journey for tourists within the province. This has also resulted in 'Fubao Ancient Town' remaining undeveloped commercially, with hundreds of years seemingly frozen in time within this ancient town.
'Fubao Ancient Town', also known as 'Fobao Ancient Town', became a trading center for hundreds of large towns during the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and was also an essential route for the transportation of Zigong well salt to Guizhou. Most of the buildings in Fubao still maintain the Ming and Qing styles, with carved beams and painted rafters that witness the glory of the times, and flying eaves that have weathered the storms of time.
The ancient town is built on mountains and rivers, with an elegant environment and simple architecture, well-preserved. Despite the vicissitudes of hundreds of years, it still completely retains its original ancient pattern, with profound historical and cultural heritage and valuable architectural aesthetic value.
Passing through the town's large bluestone bridge, Hui Long Bridge, a well-preserved old street—'Hui Long Street' unfolds before the visitors. Walking on the mottled bluestone streets of the ancient town, looking at the simple and elegant leisure courtyards, experiencing the authentic local lifestyle, one can deeply feel the infinite charm of Sichuan's ancient towns, which is truly astonishing.

Shooting 'The Foolish Commander' in the quaint Fubao Ancient Town
The National Treasure Fubao Ancient Town hidden in the deep mountains is an ancient town that was established in the Song Dynasty, took shape in the Yuan and early Ming dynasties, and reached its peak in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. The ancient town is built by the mountain and prospered by the water. The houses of varying heights and closely packed are extremely architecturally aesthetic, fully displaying the outline of the entire ancient town. Hui Long Street is the most intact ancient street in the town, the support of the existence of the ancient town, and the charm of the ancient town.
On both sides of the street paved with large bluestone, the houses are next to each other, and the doors are next to each other, forming five lanes such as Jiulong Lane, Liu Family Lane, Baoqing Lane, Chai Market Lane, and Chicken Market Lane. On the green stone streets of the ancient town that have been stepped on by countless people, strolling leisurely, looking carefully, and taking pictures seriously, from those uneven stones, it seems to see the hustle and bustle of the ancient streets in ancient times, and also see the loneliness and coldness of the ancient streets, and even some desolation. The temples and gods worshipped in Fubao Ancient Town are quite numerous and functionally complete, which is rare in the towns in Sichuan Province. It is even rumored that Fubao Ancient Town was formed by temples. Historical materials in the Jiaqing period called it 'Buddha Treasure'. The charm of Fubao Ancient Town also lies in its cultural connotation and historical accumulation. Many movies and TV dramas have been filmed here

Luzhou Laojiao Tourist Area Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Luzhou Tourism | Experience the 'Intoxicating' Culture of the Thousand-Year-Old Liquor City
A few days ago, I visited Luzhou, a city very close to Chengdu, with friends. I had long heard that Luzhou is a city where even the air is intoxicating, and Luzhou Laojiao is renowned far and wide. This trip was indeed a wish fulfilled, as I finally got to experience it.
Luzhou is truly a great place. After playing for a few days, I decided to create a check-in guide for you all📋
Hotel Section | Guilibo Courtyard
This time, my friends and I stayed at the Guilibo Courtyard Hotel located in the Zhangba Guilin Forest Scenic Area of Luzhou. The hotel is surrounded by lush century-old longan forests, and the natural fragrance permeates the air, making it very comfortable and tranquil, with a feeling of returning to nature.
The entire hotel features a Chinese retro style and even provides Hanfu for guests to wear and take photos. Moreover, the hotel is close to the 1573 National Treasure Cellar Cluster, which was established during the Wanli era of the Ming Dynasty. The combination of the longan forest and the thousand-year-old liquor culture is serene and elegant, making me feel even closer to the 'intoxicating' culture.
The hotel has a butler to greet you at the entrance, and the amenities in the rooms are of very high quality, including 🛀AK and Hermès bath and shampoo products. The design and decoration are also very exquisite and elegant. The service is of high quality, too, with a turn-down service at night, offering goodnight drinks and Luzhou Laojiao's distiller's grains facial masks. I really have to praise it a lot~
⛩Travel Section | Luzhou Laojiao Scenic Area
Even before reaching the entrance of the scenic area, the fragrance of liquor was already in the air. Finally, I arrived at the heart of the 'intoxicating' culture!
The entrance is the National Cellar 1573 Square. On the way in after checking tickets, on the left, there is a relief sculpture depicting the history of Luzhou's liquor, which is quite spectacular~ On the right is the Luzhou Laojiao Museum, which presents the liquor culture of Luzhou Laojiao.
Further into the scenic area, you can see the Longquan well water used for brewing liquor, and the large Luzhou Laojiao 1573 National Treasure Cellar Cluster is nearby. 1573 refers to the year 1573 AD, the first year of the Wanli era of the Ming Dynasty. The cellar cluster has a long history, having produced liquor for 451 years without interruption, so the liquor brewed here is even more fragrant and delicious. With a ticket, you can also taste a cup of original cellar liquor for free, which makes the trip worthwhile~
The cultural and creative products in the scenic area are also very good. The Qilin plush toy is super cute, the 'Heaven Round, Earth Square' cup has a unique design, and the cultural and creative ice cream comes in five flavors, which is perfect for quenching your thirst after a tour around the area.

After visiting the Luzhou Laojiao Scenic Area, my friends and I went to visit the nearby Bao'en Pagoda, a majestic white pagoda standing amidst tall buildings.
Then we went to eat at a super delicious skewer restaurant before heading to the high-speed rail station to take the train home. This trip was really worth it!
