A Must-Visit An Yue Grottoes for National Day

Head to Anyue Tapu this National Day and encounter the pinnacle of Northern Song aesthetics During the National Day holiday, Anyue Tapu is open, and I can't wait to embark on this date with historical aesthetics. Stepping into Tapu, the Northern Song stone carvings from a thousand years ago come into view. These are masterpieces left by artists at the peak of aesthetics. Even on a cloudy day, the statues still exude a compassionate, serene, simple, and exquisite aura—so beautiful that words are unnecessary, and all you want to do is snap photos like crazy. You can imagine how stunning it would be if the sun were shining in the evening, with light and shadow moving across the carvings. Although the Tapu statues are provincially protected, in my heart they are definitely of national protection level. Each statue is lifelike, with smooth lines and exquisite craftsmanship, making one marvel at the wisdom and skill of the ancients. Even more exciting, admission is currently free here. If you love historical sites and are fond of Song Dynasty aesthetics, why not visit during the National Day holiday? Remember to keep your phone and camera fully charged because every corner here is worth capturing, and every glance is a conversation with a thousand years of history.
