🙏 Jiuhuashan: Just Got Back, and It's Truly a Spiritual Experience! 💫

#chinatravel I'm back from Jiuhuashan, and I have to be honest—it's incredibly powerful and spiritual! The Grand Vow Cultural Park is one of the main attractions and is home to the majestic 99-meter-tall statue of Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva. It's a truly spectacular sight. Kṣitigarbha is a symbol of "great vows" and "filial piety" in Buddhism, and you can come here to pray for anything. Just believe, and your wishes may come true! Getting There: By Air: Fly into Jiuhuashan Airport. You can catch a shuttle bus to the "Passenger Center" for ¥20 (they run every two hours, so don't miss one or you'll need to take a taxi!). By Train: Go to Chizhou Station. There's also a shuttle bus that goes directly to the "Passenger Center." Alternatively, you can take the 40-bus route. Your Guide to the Park: Entry: The park itself is free! You just need to scan a QR code at the entrance to get a ¥0 ticket. If you're unsure, the staff are happy to help. Shuttle Bus: If you're with kids, seniors, or just want to save your energy, the round-trip shuttle bus ticket is ¥30 per person. You can catch it at the Hongyuan Hall entrance, and it takes you directly to the statue. If you prefer to walk, it's about 25 minutes. Hongyuan Hall: This is the only place in the park that requires a ticket. It has two floors and details the history of the park and Kṣitigarbha culture. It’s a good stop if you have the time and interest. Free Incense: You can pick up three free incense sticks at the censer at the foot of the statue's stairs, or you can bring your own. Climb the Stairs: As you walk up the stairs to the statue, you can step on the lotus petal patterns. This is believed to symbolize "stepping on a lotus, arriving home safely." Touch the Buddha's Feet: On the left side of the platform below the statue, there's an entrance where you can go up to touch the Buddha's feet. The entrance closes at 4:50 PM, so make sure you get there in time. I made a wish for the rain to stop on my way back, and to my surprise, it did! Wishing you all the best and hoping your wishes come true, too. #spiritualtravel #jiuhuashan #buddhisttemple #wishescometrue #travelguide

Jiuhua Mountain

Jiuhua Shan is very beautiful with many different temples. I bought the tickets on site at the ticket center; unfortunately, I couldn't buy them through trip.com. I also bought a ticket for the shuttle bus. From there, you can walk everywhere or take the cable car. There's also a cable car to Jiuhua Mountain, which costs 180 yuan. I skipped this because I didn't mind walking back. The Jiuhua Mountain Dayuan Culture Park is another park, but it's completely free unless you want to use the shuttle bus within the park or enter the buildings. I mainly came for the giant Buddha, which is 99 meters tall. You can see these two parks in one day. That's long enough, considering there's not much else to do.
