Ancient Chinese Culture | Deeply rooted, blending in with the world...

✨ The "World's Most Unique Garden" created by the millennium-old tree god, the first national 5A-level tourist attraction in Quzhou City, with over 20,000 root carvings spread across 3 square kilometers. In 2021, it was awarded the title of "World's Largest Root Carving Museum" by the Guinness World Records. —— 🌈 The Root Palace Buddhist Kingdom Scenic Area combines Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, history, and folk culture, creating numerous root carving works, mainly with Buddhist themes. The Five Hundred Arhats, the Laughing Buddha, and the Future Buddha are all made of root carvings, vivid and lifelike. The largest is the main Buddha, Shakyamuni, weighing over 40 tons! However, I personally find the most impressive to be the group of Arhats under the long corridor❗❗ Layer upon layer, with various postures, stretching as far as the eye can see. In addition, there are many idiom root carvings, historical figure root carvings, ethnic theme root carvings... —— 🌈 Besides the root carving landscapes, the scenic area itself is also a large Jiangnan garden, with towering pagodas and Zen-like cloud lakes. As the scenic area is located in the mountains, it is particularly beautiful with mist lingering after the rain. —— 🌿 Kaihua is located at the junction of Zhejiang, Anhui, and Jiangxi provinces, known as the "Hometown of Zhejiang Cuisine." I had the impression that Zhejiang people don't eat spicy food, but Kaihua cuisine seems more like Jiangxi cuisine, combining fresh, fragrant, and spicy flavors. Qi cake, green snails, clear water fish, and Suzhuang rice noodles... are all worth trying. —— 🎐 Address: No. 1, Genbo Road, Kaihua County, Quzhou City, Zhejiang Province ⏰ Opening hours: May 1 - October 31, 08:30-18:00; November 1 - April 30, 08:30-17:00 🎫 Tickets: Adult ticket 120 yuan; children under 1.3 meters, seniors over 70 years old can enter for free; children between 1.3 meters and 1.5 meters, seniors between 60 and 70 years old, and students can enjoy discounted tickets. —— 🚇 Transportation: ...
