Xichang's Guangfu Temple, a blessed place for prayers, offers an experience of the charm of diverse religious cultures

During a trip to Xichang, in addition to Qionghai, Lushan is also a must-visit attraction. Guangfu Temple on Lushan is right above Qionghai, known as the 'Scenic Spot of Southern Sichuan', and is a great place for a panoramic view. Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, and other religions have coexisted on Lushan for a thousand years, and the incense at Guangfu Temple on the mountain is particularly prosperous, making it a treasured place for locals to pray annually. It is recommended to take the cable car up the mountain, enjoy the scenery along the way, and after reaching Guangfu Temple halfway up the mountain, you will need to get off and walk. Going down the mountain, you can choose to take the slide, which saves a lot of effort. The monkey troops are also a major feature of Lushan, and in terms of both numbers and liveliness, they are not inferior to those on Mount Emei. There is a small shop above Guangfu Temple where you can buy some peanuts to feed the monkeys. If you happen to be there in the evening, you can also wait at the viewing platform for a stunning sunset, feeling the afterglow of the setting sun, the gentle breeze, and the Buddha's presence, comfortable and at ease. The address is Qionghai Lushan National Scenic Area, with free admission, 35 yuan for a one-way cable car ride, and 55 yuan for a round trip. Warm tips: There are many playful monkeys on Lushan, so remember not to carry bags in your hands when climbing, or they may be snatched away, haha! Lushan
