Gengong Buddhist Kingdom|A fairy-tale dream lost in the human world

In a hidden corner of Zhejiang, nestled within the lap of civilized mountains, lies a forgotten wonderland. This is a dusty pearl on Zhejiang's tourism map, a severely underrated 5A-rated gem❗️

⛰️ Stepping into this land, the emerald green mountains, gently shrouded in misty clouds, resemble a veil left behind by an immortal. Ancient Chinese-style buildings, built in a staggered arrangement, follow the mountain's contours, as if they've emerged from the long river of history. Millennia-sleeping tree roots, transformed by the skillful hands of artisans, become Buddhas and immortals, telling a story spanning millennia. Zen spirits, like a gurgling stream, quietly overflow from the soaring eaves and brackets. Every step through the landscape gardens reveals a new scene, like stumbling into the secret realm of a sect from a cultivation novel. Even your breathing becomes gentle and slow. 🍃

🌟Recommended Check-in Spots

Gengong Pagoda
The root carving of Guanyin within the pagoda has a soft light filter. Looking up, you'll feel awe-inspiring, as if touching the depths of your soul.

Five Hundred Arhats Gallery
Five hundred root carvings of Arhats, each with a unique expression, come alive. Some have kind eyes, as if saving all living things; others glare fiercely, as if guarding this pure land.

Huaxia Culture Root Carving Art Museum
The magnificent ancient architecture makes it easy to capture Hanfu-style photos without having to find the perfect angle; any casual shot will create a stunning masterpiece.

Red Culture Root Carving Art Museum
Using root carvings to tell stories of the Red Revolution, this entertaining and educational space is a great place to bring children for a study tour!

Highly Recommended: "Tang Dynasty Strange Stories" and "The Great Wall" Theater

A fusion of traditional Chinese culture and VR technology. Experience the whimsy of the Tang Dynasty and the majesty of the Great Wall in an immersive way—it's truly captivating!

🚗Transportation Guide

Driving: Simply navigate to Root Palace Buddhist Kingdom.

Take the high-speed rail to Kaihua Station. Buses run directly to the area outside the station.

Or, take a bus to Quzhou Station, transfer to the Kaihua Passenger Transport Center, then take a ride-hailing service or walk about 2 kilometers.

🏨Accommodation Guide

The scenic area also features the Zuigen Mountain House Root Cultural Theme Hotel, offering both accommodation and dining options. 🍜 Food Guide
I recommend Qianjiangyuan Snack Shop, located in the Gengong Buddhist Kingdom Cultural Tourism Area. This snack shop is inspired by Kaihua's local customs and incorporates local traditions! It's a very healthy snack. They offer 20 to 30 handmade specialty snacks, using carefully selected ingredients and simple, unpretentious dishes! It's a must-try.

This National Day, skip the crowded internet-famous check-in spots. Come to Gengong Buddhist Kingdom in Kaihua, Quzhou, and become a disciple of the immortal cultivators, embarking on a passionate and romantic journey of immortality.
