People in Tiantai are really tight-lipped! High-speed rail direct access, treasure hidden pilgrimage
Tiantai Mountain is obviously too low-key! 🌿

Since the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Mount Tiantai has been a holy place of pilgrimage for scholars and writers!

"One Mount Tiantai represents half of the Tang Dynasty poetry"
Xie Lingyun, the founder of landscape poetry, walked and sang in this landscape, chanting as he traveled.
Xu Xiake, the originator of "travel bloggers", wrote the first travel story here
Li Bai visited Zhejiang four times in his life and went to Tiantai three times to seek immortality and ask for the truth
The literary master and Taoist master Sima Chengzhen lived in seclusion here.

After a thousand years, Tiantai still maintains its unique temperament.
With such a profound cultural heritage and beautiful mountains and rivers, it says nothing💦

I can't bear to see it hiding in the mountains and forests, unknown to people, nor can I bear to see it suddenly explode, disturbing its tranquility and ruining its charm! 🌿
If you don't want to squeeze in with the crowds, come to the rooftop for a reverse tour~High-speed rail direct access🚅

🌿【Two-day tour route】
Day 1: Guoqing Temple - Gaomingjiang Temple - Tatou Temple
Day 2: Tongbai Palace - Minghe Temple

Now let's talk about the second stop of our Tiantai trip - Gaoming Lecture Temple
There are four unique features in Tiantai Mountain: "Guoqing pine, Gaoming bell, Wannian bell, and Pagoda wind"🌷

Three of them are the places where Master Zhizhe preached. Today we will follow the master’s footsteps in spreading the Dharma and walk the path of Zen meditation.
Gaomingjiang Temple is an important temple of Tiantai Sect. Its history is older than Guoqing Temple. However, unlike Guoqing Temple which is crowded with tourists, Gaomingjiang Temple is more quiet and peaceful.
After leaving Guoqing Temple, take a taxi for about 30 minutes, go around the mountain, and you will reach Gaoming Temple.
Gaoming Temple is located in the valley surrounded by mountains and serene streams. The red bell tower with flying eaves comes into view through the bamboo forest.
From a distance, you can see that it is solemn and majestic.
The plaque on the mountain gate, "Gaoming Lecture Temple", is a calligraphy work left by Kang Youwei.
The bell sound of Gaoming Lecture Hall is the most precious. The deafening sound is like the whisper of the earth, and it is even louder in the quiet valley. The sound echoes from the mountains to the valleys, and it lingers for a long time.
We arrived just in time when the monks in the temple were chanting in the evening. Suddenly, we were startled by a lion's roar. The sound waves penetrated our bodies and passed through our chests like ripples. We couldn't help but feel alert all over. In an instant, every pore seemed to be opened and every cell was awakened. It was wonderful!
