【Light visitor to Jiangnan Big Buddha Temple】
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 cave sculptures in southern China. Along the way, we encountered the Thousand Buddha Temple, the Reclining Buddha Hall, the Prajna Valley, the Ten Thousand Buddha Pagoda, and other Buddhist sculptures, ancient rock caves, and cascading waterfalls, all blending into one breathtakingly beautiful and exquisite route. The experience was truly enjoyable.
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.
2:00 PM
【Exploring the Carbohydrate Kingdom】
We returned to our starting point. Xinchang is a snack kingdom, and the streets are filled with the aroma of delicious delicacies like Wozhou Road lamb bones, fresh taro dumplings, and tofu pan-fried dumplings. The thin-skinned buns, topped with a delicate egg, are crispy but 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, eat your fill!
Those with free time can also visit Gushan Park and climb Tianmu Pavilion, or visit the Xinchang Museum for an up-close experience of the Tang Poetry Road. Tianmu Pavilion, approximately 35 meters high and designed by Du Shunbao, a renowned expert on ancient architecture, is a late Tang Dynasty-style building that echoes Tianmu Mountain and overlooks Xinchang County.
