We set off on time, and the team leader led everyone in the car to get to know each other, play games, and have fun laughing all the way!
10:30
Arrived at our destination - Changxi Village.
After the team assembled and a brief rest, we set off along the ancient trail towards Wulei Mountain! Weaving through the woods, we were greeted by a blue sky and white clouds overhead, a sun-drenched stream nearby, and a vibrant, yellow-green cascade of low mountains in the distance. Following the gurgling stream, listening to the chirping of birds, we journeyed through this forest oxygen bar. We even passed through vast bamboo forests and spotted a hidden bamboo farm!
12:30
We found a platform, sat on the ground, and enjoyed the various delicious foods we brought together!
3:00 PM
Arrive at Wulei Temple. There are many scenic spots and historical sites in Wulei Temple. There is a pool in front of the temple, named "Zhenming Pool". Clear water flows out from the Elephant Eye Tomb in the east, flows into Zhenming Pool and then flows into Moon Lake through a small canal. It never dries up all year round.
There are also delicious somen noodles available on one side of the temple.
On the hillside not far from the temple, there are several towering ancient trees, some so old that it's difficult to estimate their age, requiring several people to hug them. The temple is dominated by camphor trees, whose lush branches and leaves remain evergreen all year round, complementing the golden architecture of Wulei Temple.
4:30 PM
After arriving at the bus stop, we took a brief rest and then got on the bus for the return journey.
7:00 PM
When we arrived at the departure point in Suzhou, everyone was still reluctant to leave and kissed goodbye with tears in their eyes!
