11:00
We arrived at Xinchang South Street. Everyone got off the bus, stretched, and prepared some water and other supplies before heading out.
We climbed the mountain and arrived near the Xinchang Big Buddha Temple. We entered the Big Buddha Temple area, originally built in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and home to the last surviving examples of early rock-cut cave sculptures in southern China. Along the way, we encountered the Thousand Buddha Temple, the Reclining Buddha Hall, the Prajna Valley, and the Ten Thousand Buddha Pagoda. These Buddhist sculptures, ancient rock-cut caves, and cascading waterfalls blend into one breathtakingly beautiful and exquisite route, offering a truly enjoyable experience.
This is also the filming location for more than ten TV dramas and movies such as "Zhou Sheng Ru Gu", "Lotus Tower", "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", and "Nine Layers Purple". It has both the gracefulness of Jiangnan mountains and rivers and the heroism of the world of martial arts. The yellow walls of the temple, the red dust and the world, and the dream of Farewell to Xizhou, you can take pictures as you go, and everywhere is a holy place for filming!
Note: The Big Buddha Temple is entered through other entrances. If you encounter ticket inspection, you need to pay an additional ticket of 80 yuan per person.
2:30 PM
Around 2:30 PM, we returned to our starting point. Xinchang is a haven for snacks, with the aroma of lamb bones, fresh taro dumplings, and tofu pan-fried dumplings filling the streets. The thin-skinned buns, topped with a delicate egg, are crispy yet not hard. For those who enjoy a sour taste, try Xinchang's specialty, rose rice vinegar. Grilled rice cakes and pot-pulled tofu are also Xinchang specialties. Tourists, fill your stomachs! We'll feast!
Get on the bus at the right time and gather for the return trip.
8:00 PM
When we arrived in Shanghai, everyone was reluctant to leave and kissed goodbye with tears in their eyes!
