The thousand-year-old Jingying Temple in autumn | Self-driving around Zhengzhou📷 If it weren’t for the popularity of the water play and hiking trails at Jingying Temple this summer, this niche scenic spot would be easily overlooked. Before going, I was struggling over whether to walk ten kilometers or drive directly to the scenic spot. In the end, due to time constraints, I chose the latter, and unexpectedly I was rewarded with unexpected beautiful scenery. 📍: Jingying Temple Scenic Area 🎫: 40 yuan, parking fee 10 yuan 🚗: Zhengzhou self-driving about 2.5 hours ⛩Tips for playing: 🌿The overall scenic area is not large, and an afternoon of play time is enough 🌿The core attraction is Jingying Temple, which is well maintained overall. Located at the foot of the mountain, you can see the mountain when you look up. The temple is planted with ginkgo trees, bamboo forests, etc., and it is beautiful from any angle you look at it. 🌿After the heavy rain on July 20 last year, some sections of the Grand Canyon were washed away, leaving a clear pool under the waterfall. It is turquoise and transparent, and has become a popular place to play in the water in the summer. Although the temperature drops in autumn, it is still worth seeing. 🌿In addition to the temple, the garden landscape in the scenic area is well done, with small waterfalls, lotus ponds, maple leaves and so on. It should be another beautiful sight in late autumn. 🌿The attraction is too niche, there are few tourists, it is quiet and relaxing. ⛰: If you want to hike on a wild route, you can choose to hike from Houhe Village down the canyon to Jingying Temple. 📷: The warm autumn sunshine and the temple at the foot of the mountain are very photogenic.
