The Experience of Visiting Bengcha Ancient Town

Sunlight filters through the ancient treetops, casting its rays on the bluestone paths of Bengcha Ancient Town, as if time here is slowly flowing. I step onto this land full of historical charm, filled with anticipation and a touch of nostalgia. Walking on the stone paths of Bengcha Ancient Town is like entering a long corridor of years. The ancient buildings on both sides stand silently, with the marks of time etched upon them. Our group weaves through the winding alleys, and with every step, it seems we can hear the echoes of history. The laughter of children intertwines with the old residences, creating a moving scene. The residents of the ancient town are warm and hospitable. Whenever we lose our way, there are always kind aunties to guide us. Their words reveal a love and pride for this land, making us feel the warmth of home. Every building in the ancient town carries a piece of history. We gently touch the walls that have weathered the years, as if we can hear them telling ancient tales. And the children's eyes are always so bright, filled with curiosity and a desire to explore the world. They run through the lanes, their laughter crisp and pleasant, injecting new vitality and energy into this ancient land. As the sun sets, we stand on high ground to take in the panoramic view of the ancient town. The scattered houses and winding alleys form a beautiful picture. We can't help but exclaim that Bengcha Ancient Town is not just a place, but also a memory, an emotion. On this trip to Bengcha, we not only enjoyed the beautiful scenery but also felt the deep affection among family members. The happiness of the children, the smiles of the elderly, are the most precious gains of our trip. In the days to come, these wonderful memories will forever accompany us.

Guoqing Temple, the birthplace of the Tiantai sect of Buddhism in China

The ancient temple of the Sui dynasty, Guoqing Temple, is not only the birthplace of the Tiantai sect of Buddhism in China but also the ancestral temple for the Tiantai sect in Korea and Japan. Guoqing Temple boasts three wonders: the Sui pagoda, Sui plum, and the unique 'Goose' calligraphy by Wang Xizhi. As the cradle of the Tiantai sect, Guoqing Temple holds a revered yet understated status. 'When the temple prospers, the nation is clear and pure.' The seasons change in the mountains, and now the seas are calm and the rivers clear. Surrounded by mountains, in summer one can play in the streams in front of the temple, and in autumn, watch the monks sun-dry grains in the courtyard. The Sui plum tree beside the Mahavira Hall grows with the temple, and when its subtle fragrance wafts through the air as the flowers bloom, it tells the history to the visiting pilgrims. Guoqing Temple

Guoqing Temple: Peace to the nation, safety to the people

A few years ago, I first visited Guoqing Temple. I was filled with emotion and sighs. Peace to the nation, safety to the people. After more than three years, I hope more: Peace to the nation, safety to the people. So, I visited Guoqing Temple again, offering incense and paying respects to Buddha. It's not so brilliant and splendid, a bit old, which makes us feel closer and more in line with our understanding of cultivation. At the incense offering place, there is a monk, handsome and tall. Judging by his plain face, he should be more attractive than the boss in 'Blooming Flowers'. He could rely on his good looks, but he chose to cultivate. Remarkable, truly remarkable. I secretly took a photo, he noticed but didn't get angry, just glanced at me with a faint look. It was an understanding of me, and also a restraint on me, so that I dare not post his handsome photo, afraid of offending the cultivator, afraid of causing trouble if it spreads out, what if it disturbs him, disturbs his cultivation heart. Wouldn't that be a sin? The plum blossoms outside the main hall have bloomed, if you pay attention, you can smell the fragrance. Unfortunately, there are few careful people and few careful hearts. More are: self-interest, personal gain, concern for him, concern for her. No bottom line, no restraint, and no self-restraint. Plum blossoms, in accordance with the season, following the will of heaven, blooming, fragrant: Sun, moon, earth, what are you? I calculated the time to come here, offered incense and paid respects to Buddha, and then had a vegetarian meal. I asked the monk, he said, it's not open to the public anymore. There's a loss. It's a loss, but it's not a loss. The internet-famous place that doesn't want to be internet-famous (Guoqing Temple), might it have disturbed the monks' cultivation? Possibly. But more importantly, nothing can be perfect and complete. The moon waxes and wanes? The moon waxes and wanes. I was reminiscing about the vegetarian meal at Anji Lingfeng Temple, rushing to Xiayanbei Village, wanting to see the mountains and the sky. Peace to the nation, safety to the people.

Rudong Local Tour - Xiaoyangkou Scenic Area

Rudong Local Tour - Xiaoyangkou Scenic Area Rudong County Xiaoyangkou Scenic Area 1 Suitable for photography and walking with children, good for camping 2 The area is largely covered with lawns and a lake-surrounding track, accessible by car or bike 3 It is recommended to bring camping and picnic equipment, meet up with a few good friends, eat and drink, chat, enjoy the scenery, and bask in the sun

Jiangsu Nantong is about 50 kilometers to the northeast, and there is a quiet small town on the bank of the Yellow River. This is Rudong County. Rudongs history is not long. It was affiliated to Rugao County before 1945, and it was named as the East because of its Dongxiang. The 103-kilometer coastline provides a unique coastal style for Rudong and, of course, delicious seafood. The beauty of the East Coast is in its original ecological environment. Xiaoyangkou Scenic Area is a must to go. For example, most of the scenic spots in Dong County are concentrated in this area. Xiaoyangkou is not only beautiful, but also romantic. Walk through a trail full of garlands and go straight to the beach, which instantly creates a familiar feeling. This is a place to take a wedding dress. This is indeed a love theme park. All the scenes are carefully arranged for love. When you come to Xiaoyangkou, you will give your TA a big surprise. Sudden love is the most touching. It is a place for sightseeing and taking pictures. In the distance is the sea. The fishing boats keep moving in and out. Next to it is a national-level central fishing port. On the edge of the fishing port is a seafood restaurant. The more romantic approach is to walk along the boardwalk and look at the end of the road to see the piece of stone. The wooden path of the sea, the nine turns, the foot of the vast yellow sea, surrounded by the original coastal wetlands, here is the habitat of the egret.

A Tranquil Countryside Escape

Sometimes, all you need is to get away from the crowds, and luckily for us we were able to do just that at Links Golf & Spa. Located near Rudong in Jiangsu Province, Links Golf & Spa is a peaceful hotel with elegant looking rooms, good service and multiple pools (and hot springs) to dip into! The design of the place seemed quite modern, while the rooms are quite regal with their golden colour palette. But overall, it was a super nice and relaxing stay, especially as we had most of the pools and hotel to ourself! Maybe these days it will be a little more popular compared to when we visited, but worthwhile checking out if you can find your way there. #momentsmission

A three-day deep tour of Tiantai, not only the most beautiful temple, but also the spirit on the mountain

🌈Before going to Tiantai Mountain, I imagined that I would quietly visit the ancient temples for thousands of years, slowly wait for the cows to get off work, leisurely watch the green mountains and waterfalls, happily take pictures of Zen landscapes, stroke cats, drink tea and eat vegetarian meals. After the trip, everything was as I wished, but the adjectives were a bit off. I walked 25 kilometers in three days, and on the last day I sat on the high-speed train back with two muddy trouser legs, but I was happier than the planned trip, especially the Xiagu Ancient Road, the beautiful mountains and waters of Tiantai Mountain are real. 🚴‍♀️Because several scenic spots are basically all the way, so there are many problems in transportation and tour routes, the number of words is limited, detailed strategies will be divided later, first simply say the total itinerary 1⃣Day1: Departure—Tiantai Station—Big Waterfall—Qiongtai Fairy Valley 2⃣Day2: Guoqing Temple—Tiantai Museum—Shiliang 3⃣Day3: Xiagu Ancient Road Loop—Tiantai Station Return 📍✔️First afternoon: Big Waterfall + Qiongtai Fairy Valley (Pictures 1-5) 🔸Bought a joint ticket, walked all the way, took 3 hours, the route track is 9 kilometers (only more than 7 kilometers on the two-step track, has been synchronized), the big waterfall is indeed spectacular, but after climbing to the top of the mountain all the way to Qiongtai Fairy Valley, it is the mountain and water show, worth the ticket price. This attraction is near, it is convenient for one person to take a taxi. 📍✔️Second morning: Guoqing Temple + Tiantai Museum, afternoon: Shiliang (Pictures 6-11) 🔸Guoqing Temple is as everyone says, quiet and simple, even the plants have Buddha nature, the entrance of Tiantai Museum is very inconspicuous, but the cultural exhibits inside are very rich. 🔸Shiliang Feipu is rushing to the last bus of the scenic spot to go back to the last bus, about 3 kilometers from the entrance to the exit, it takes 1 and a half hours, completely different from the big waterfall Qiongtai Fairy Valley, it is a place to brush again. This attraction is far away, it is more convenient for one person to take the scenic bus. 📍✔️Third day: Xiagu Ancient Road Loop (Pictures 12-16) 🔸Start timing from near Tiantai Hotel, the whole journey is 13 kilometers, it takes 5 hours (only more than 12 kilometers on the two-step track, has been synchronized), all the way through the mountains, villages, ancient temples, quiet and natural, the second half of the journey met rain, so I brought two trouser legs out of the mountain. There are several wild roads in this loop, it is not recommended for women to hike alone, especially when the weather is bad. 🌟If the weather is bad in Tiantai Mountain, it is easy to fog up the mountain, self-driving around the mountain road should pay attention to safety, novice drivers are not recommended. 🌟I won't go out for food, I've been hiking all the way, the most I eat is dry food, but I ate at the earth stove, I feel average, and the random He Wei stir-fry on the side of the road, unexpectedly suits my taste, I ate it for two days. 🌟The temples in Tiantai Mountain are really beautiful, and the three-day deep tour makes me feel that the mountains and waters here are more spiritual.

Trip to Taizhou

🚗🚗🚗 Travel Itinerary: Day1: Guoqing Scenic Area → Tiantai Mountain Scenic Area → Ziyang Street → Xiya Hotel (Wenling Jiulong Lake Branch) Day2: Duijie Scenic Platform → Colorful Xiaoruo Village → Lanou Hotel (Yuhuan Nanpu Road Wanda Plaza Branch) Day3: Dongsha Fishing Village → Dalu Island There are mountains and waters, it's just a bit taxing on the driver!

Guoqing Temple - One of the three major ancient temples in China

Guoqing Temple is located on Mount Tiantai in Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province. The temple was first built in the 18th year of the Sui Kaihuang era (598 AD), originally named Tiantai Temple. It was here that the eminent Sui Dynasty monk 'Master Zhiyi' founded the Tiantai school of Buddhism, making it the birthplace of the Tiantai tradition. In 604 AD, Emperor Yang of Sui ascended to the throne and personally inscribed the name 'Guoqing Temple' with the verse 'If the temple is accomplished, the nation will be pure,' to signify the clarity and peace of his reign. The importance of Guoqing Temple at that time is evident from the fact that the peace and stability of a nation were entrusted to a single temple. Master Jianzhen, a great monk, visited Guoqing Temple during his eastward journey to Japan. A Japanese monk who studied abroad (Saichō) also came to Mount Tiantai to study Buddhism. After returning to Japan, he built Enryaku-ji Temple on Mount Hiei and founded the Japanese Tendai school, honoring Guoqing Temple on Mount Tiantai in Zhejiang as its ancestral temple. The current Guoqing Temple was rebuilt by imperial order in the 12th year of the Yongzheng era of the Qing Dynasty (1734). It is known as one of China's four great ancient temples, alongside Lingyan Temple in Jinan, Qixia Temple in Nanjing, and Yuquan Temple in Dangyang. Throughout history, many high monks have resided at Guoqing Temple, including Master Yixing, Hanshan, Shide, Monk Jigong, Kūkai the founder of Japanese Shingon Buddhism, and Saichō the founder of Japanese Tendai Buddhism. The temple houses a plum tree planted by the fifth patriarch of the Tiantai school, Master Zhang'an, known as the 'Sui Mei,' which is one of the three oldest plum trees in China. During the 60s and 70s, it nearly died out, but after Premier Zhou Enlai ordered the restoration of Guoqing Temple, the once withered Sui Mei miraculously bloomed again, becoming a spectacular sight. The stone pagoda outside the temple is the oldest stone pagoda from the Sui Dynasty. The two white marble lions in front of Guoqing Temple were moved from the Forbidden City in Beijing. The incense burner in front of the Mahavira Hall was cast by Emperor Qianlong in honor of his mother's birthday, known as the 'Holy Longevity Incense Burner.' The eighteen Arhat statues inside the hall were carved from golden Phoebe nanmu wood during the Yuan Dynasty. In addition, the temple's Sui Mei, half of a goose by Wang Xizhi... Numerous ancient artifacts and the beautiful temple landscape captivate all who see them, inspiring joy and admiration. The simple and solid Guoqing Temple awaits your appreciation. Admission: Free. Opening Hours: 7:00~16:00 Among the four ancient temples, Guoqing Temple and Lingyan Temple allow pets inside. If you wish to save energy, there are electric shuttle cars at the foot of the mountain that go to and from Guoqing Temple, with a one-way ticket costing 2 yuan.
