Weekend Getaway: A Chance Encounter with Shaolin Temple

Weekend Getaway: A Chance Encounter with Shaolin Temple

After work on Friday, I grabbed my backpack and set off...

Without a detailed plan, I was met with many pleasant surprises...

Saturday's Itinerary: Shaolin Temple and Book Cliff

Strolling through the ginkgo forest of Shaolin Temple, it was like stepping into a dazzling golden dream, each step falling in rhythm with autumn.

The magnificence of Book Cliff is difficult to fully capture in photos. The layered rock walls resemble neatly arranged books, each page engraved with hundreds of millions of years of geological history.

Sunday's Exploration: Henan Museum and 1952 Creative Block

The Henan Museum was naturally a highlight of this trip. As one of the birthplaces of bronze culture, Henan houses a vast collection of bronze treasures from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, especially those unearthed from the Yin Ruins of Anyang, a perfect fusion of historical and artistic value.

As for the 1952 Creative Block...let's just say it has a unique charm, a blend of rustic and trendy.

The theme of this weekend trip was to avoid the crowds and enjoy undisturbed weekend time.
