Arriving at the Tushita Heaven Scenic Area, the scenic area is divided into three areas from bottom to top: the Daxianglin, the Longhua Temple, and the Tushita Heaven Palace.
Under the guidance of the staff, we entered the scenic area, crossed a village road to the bamboo forest path, and all the way to the viewing platform, we can see Longhua Temple, and looking up is Tushita Heaven (Tushita Heaven is also known as the Heaven of Joyful Contentment, which means a happy and contented heart). Longhua Temple is like the human world, and Tushita Heaven is heaven. We need to walk all the way up to wash away the glitz and glamour.
Longhua Temple is very similar to Faxi Temple, with its red walls and yellow tiles, and the magnificent Main Hall, worthy of being an imperial temple. The ancient temple, shrouded in mist, creates a tranquil atmosphere. Longhua Temple also offers vegetarian meals on the second floor, with both vegetarian and noodle dishes available.
You can enjoy the scenery by climbing up the stairs. At the top of the mountain, you will see the Tushita Heaven, which feels like a palace in the fairyland. There is also a Zodiac Pond and a Wishing Pond at the door where you can place your good wishes. You can't miss the opportunity to take great photos on the top of the mountain.
The walls and Buddha statues inside the Tiangong are exquisitely crafted. Although the temple is a brand new building, it has a grandeur that is different from ancient temples. You can enjoy your visit here.
2:00 PM
We followed the staff down the mountain and felt the tranquility of the bamboo forest and the blending of mountains and water on the way down.
Note: At the end of September 2025, after the Daxianglin Scenic Area is completed, we will add an osmanthus viewing itinerary. Tourists, please stay tuned!
4:00 PM
We walked down the Xianglin hiking trail, gathered at the parking lot, and boarded the bus to Shanghai.
7:30 PM
When we arrived in Shanghai, everyone was still reluctant to leave and kissed goodbye with tears in their eyes, looking forward to meeting again next time.
