Xu Xiake's thrice-visited martial arts fairyland! The ancient temple by the waterfall hidden in Taizhou exceeds expectations

✨ The stunning fairyland visited three times by Xu Xiake
A natural stone bridge spans the gorge amid lush mountains and green valleys, with a waterfall cascading behind it, creating a full martial arts atmosphere! 🤩

🎬 This place is also a filming location for many martial arts dramas:
▪️ Jet Li practiced here in the 1982 version of "Shaolin Temple"
▪️ The Master Yideng's retreat in the 2003 Zhou Xun version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"
▪️ Yang Mi’s "Fuyao" was also filmed here

The most amazing feature is the ancient temple hidden within the waterfall 🏯
It is said to be the dojo of the Five Hundred Arhats!
