Binhe Bay
20240214 Checked in at Binhe Bay again~ It's already the third visit.
The previous two times were almost private, but this time it's during the Chinese New Year holiday.
Crowds of people everywhere, it's too exaggerated; people and trash are all over the place.
Fortunately, the crowd started to thin out after sunset~
And I witnessed another breathtaking sunset.

Jinxian Gate was built in 1621 during the Ming Dynasty. The city gate is divided into three levels. It leads to the Academy, symbolizing the promotion of virtuous scholars, hence the name 'Jinxian Gate'. It is also the only remaining ancient city gate in Jieyang.
•

Together with Chaozhou Kaiyuan Temple and Chaoyang Lingshan Temple, it is known as one of the 'Three Great Temples of Chao County'. The Shuangfeng Temple in Rongcheng is still under construction.

3⃣️Jieyang Tower Square is themed with lotus flowers, incorporating elements of tradition and fashion, history and the future, and its magnificent pattern can only be displayed through an aerial shot;
4⃣️There are lifelike stone dragons carved on the ground in many places in front of Jieyang Tower Square;

Huangguangshan Foguang Temple Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
Admission Free Parking Foguang Temple Pray for marriage, wealth, and career Good fortune descends
With the first rays of the morning sun piercing through the mist, I embarked on my journey to Huilai Huangguangshan Foguang Temple. The mountain road winds, the sound of pine waves rustling with my steps, as if telling of a thousand years of tranquility. Upon reaching Foguang Temple, the ancient mountain gate exudes a sense of time-worn solemnity, and a grand Buddha statue stands silently, inspiring awe. I slowly entered the temple, where the air was filled with the scent of incense, and the monks devoutly chanted scriptures, their voices echoing through the valley, cleansing the soul. The green trees around added vitality to this ancient monastery, and here I found the long-lost peace. This trip not only allowed me to appreciate the simplicity and serenity of Foguang Temple but also planted a seed of tranquility deep in my heart.

One of the Three Great Academies of Guangdong | Jieyang Academy
As a Cantonese, it was my first visit to Jieyang, and I found this small city to be quite nice, with a warm climate, affordable prices, and plenty of snacks.
The first stop is to go to the must-visit Jieyang Academy in Jieyang, which is one of the three great academies in Guangdong. It was founded during the Southern Song Dynasty and has a long history with profound cultural heritage.
The architecture here mainly combines the Ming and Qing architectural styles with the unique building style of Jieyang, giving it an ancient and classic charm, with exquisite wood carvings.
The most beautiful time is at sunset, when the soft golden light falls on the vermilion walls, creating a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere.
I happened to encounter a young lady dressed in Hanfu taking photos, so I snapped a few pictures. The outfit and the architecture complement each other perfectly, as if she had really stepped out of ancient times.
