During the peak tourist season, the ticket price is CNY 160 per person; while in the off-season, the ticket price drops to CNY 140 per person. You can make reasonable arrangements according to your travel time and choose the most suitable time to go.

Different cable car lines can take you to appreciate different scenery of Jiuhua Mountain, and you can choose according to your interests and physical strength. ## 🚗About Transportation ### High-Speed Rail Travel If you choose to take the high-speed rail, it is very convenient to arrive at Chizhou Station or Jiuhuashan Station. There are buses from both stations that go directly to the Jiuhua Mountain Tourist Center. Sitting on the bus, you can also enjoy the surrounding scenery and feel the atmosphere of Jiuhua Mountain in advance. ### Self-Driving Travel Self-driving is also a good choice. In the off-season, vehicles with seven seats or less can be driven directly to the mountain. Imagine driving your car along the winding mountain road, with the beautiful mountain scenery outside the window, it is a different kind of experience. However, during peak seasons and special periods, in order to ensure the traffic order of the scenic area and the safety of tourists, self-driving vehicles need to transfer to the scenic area bus, which will take you directly to various attractions. ## 🗺Itinerary ### Day 1️⃣: In-depth Exploration of the Core Area of Jiuhua Street - **Jiuhua Street Line**: Huacheng Temple, Zhantanlin, Qiyuan Temple and other Buddhist holy places are all concentrated on the Jiuhua Street line. When you stroll through it, it seems that time has slowed down. The quaint buildings, the lingering incense, and the melodious bells all make people feel the cleansing of the soul. This stroll takes about 2 hours. You can calm down and savor this peace and tranquility. - **Rou Shen Bao Dian Line**: This is where the true body of Dizang Bodhisattva is located. Embark on the pilgrimage road, every step is full of piety. The surrounding environment is solemn and solemn, making you feel awe involuntarily. The entire visit takes about 2 hours. During this process, you can feel the power of faith with your heart. - **Baisui Palace Line**: When you arrive at Baisui Palace, you can choose to take the cable car 🚠, shuttle through the sea of clouds in the cable car, as if you are in a fairyland; if you are physically strong, you can also choose to hike. Although hiking will take more time and physical strength, the scenery along the way will definitely make you feel that it is worth the money. A cable car ride takes about 1.5 hours, while hiking takes 3 hours. When you arrive at Baisui Palace, you will be attracted by its legendary story and shocked by the majesty of the five hundred arhats. ### Day 2️⃣: Houshan Tiantai, Explore the Splendor of High Mountain Hanging Temple - **Shanding Tiantai Line**: You can take the cable car 🚠 directly to the top of the mountain, and attractions such as Baijingtai and Tiantai Temple are waiting for you to explore.

A cable car ride takes about 3 hours, while hiking takes 5 hours. If you choose to go in the early morning or evening, you can also enjoy the beautiful sunrise and sunset 🌄. - **Shanjiao Minyuan Line**: Different from the magnificence of the top of the mountain, the Shanjiao Minyuan Line is full of tranquility and peace. Attractions such as Phoenix Pine and Minyuan Nunnery Group allow you to stroll leisurely and feel the tranquility of nature and the beauty of life. This stroll takes about 1 hour. You can relax and enjoy this rare tranquility 🌳. ## 👇Important Tips for Buddhist Worship ### Incense Offering Steps 1. **Take Incense**: At the free incense taking point, take three identical incense sticks. These three incense sticks represent taking refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha, which is a symbol of piety. 2. **Light and Hold Incense**: After lighting the incense, hold the incense with your right hand, hold the right hand with your left hand, and tilt the incense upward at a 45-degree angle. This is not only a traditional etiquette, but also prevents the incense ash from falling and burning your hands. 3. **Worship**: When worshiping, first face the direction of the main hall and silently recite your wishes in your heart. Then, in a clockwise direction, worship in four directions in turn, three times in each direction. This expresses respect for the Buddhas in all directions and is also a way to express wishes and pray for blessings. ### Kowtow Steps 1. **Kneel**: Kneel on the kneeling cushion, put your hands together, and silently recite your wishes in your heart again, preparing to kowtow. At this time, your heart should be calm and pious. 2. **Kowtow**: When kowtowing, first place your palms down to touch the ground, which represents the piety of prostrating oneself on the ground. Then, turn your palms upward, symbolizing receiving the Buddha's teachings and blessings. Every action contains deep respect and good expectations. ### Other Precautions - **Dress Appropriately**: When worshiping Buddha, you should dress appropriately and avoid being revealing. This is not only respect for the Buddha, but also a reflection of self-cultivation 👗. - **Keep Quiet**: In the temple, keep quiet, do not talk about worldly trivial matters, and do not say disrespectful words. A quiet environment allows you to better feel the atmosphere of the temple and the solemnity of religion 🤫. - **Obey the Rules**: Do not step on the threshold, do not turn your back to the Buddha statue, do not point at the Buddha statue, and do not take pictures without permission. These are the basic rules in the temple, and we should strictly abide by them 🚫. - **Express Respect**: You can offer flowers, fruits and other items, but pay attention to placing them neatly. This is a way to express respect and also a respect for religious culture 💐. I hope this guide can help you better plan your trip to Jiuhua Mountain and leave good memories on this sacred land. May your journey to Jiuhua Mountain be full of joy and harvest 🙏.

Stepping onto Mount Jiuhua, stepping into this pure land of Buddhism, I suddenly felt awe and tranquility in my heart. Mount Jiuhua, as the dojo of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, has attracted countless good men and women to come for pilgrimage since ancient times. Standing on the top of the towering mountain, surrounded by clouds and mist, it seems that I am gradually moving away from the secular world, and my mind has become pure and ethereal. Worshiping devoutly in front of the seat of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, I pray that the Bodhisattva will protect all living beings with compassion, so that we can get a moment of peace and relief in the complicated life. This pilgrimage to Mount Jiuhua is not only for blessing, but also a baptism of the soul. Here, we temporarily put aside the trivialities of daily life and let go of the troubles and sorrows in our hearts one by one. With closed eyes and clasped hands, the incense rises, as if all the anxiety has been purified in this pure land. The compassionate image of the Bodhisattva, looking at all living beings with compassion, seems to tell us: life is impermanent, but inner peace can be achieved through self-cultivation and the improvement of the state of mind. The pilgrimage to Mount Jiuhua allows us to more deeply understand the meaning of "letting go". In secular life, we often rush for fame, wealth, and achievement, and our hearts are burdened. However, here, the compassionate blessing of the Bodhisattva makes us understand that having a pure heart is the greatest wealth. The troubles, obsessions, and desires of life may be put down in this pure land, and feel a sense of liberation. As the Buddhist teachings say, a pure heart is the Buddha's land. Only when the heart is pure can we obtain true happiness and satisfaction. On the way to worship, we go up the mountain, layer by layer, and every step seems to be stripping away the distracting thoughts in our hearts. The landscape of Jiuhua Mountain is intoxicating and the Zen is far-reaching. In the embrace of this nature, our hearts are settled, and we seem to hear the whispers of the mountains and rivers and feel the true meaning of Buddhism. Although this trip is short, it has taught us how to face the setbacks and difficulties in life, and understand the importance of letting go and introspection. The trip to Jiuhua Mountain is not only a pilgrimage, but also a practice. May the compassion and blessing of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva protect us, so that everyone can increase their blessings and wisdom, and be at peace and healthy. I also hope that we can bring this spiritual tranquility back to the world, find our own piece of pure land in the complicated life, and live a simple and peaceful life. #九华山

# The magical experience of worshipping Buddha at Jiuhua Mountain Jiuhua Mountain is located in Anhui Province and is one of the famous Buddhist holy sites. It is said that this place was once the dojo of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, where Buddhist masters practiced and attained enlightenment, leaving behind many touching stories. The most talked-about one among them is the experience of an ordinary citizen worshiping Buddha. According to legend, there was a young man named Zhang San, who was originally a painter and lived an ordinary life. One day, he accidentally heard about the wonders of Mount Jiuhua and began to think of going there for a pilgrimage. So, Zhang San embarked on a long journey. When he finally stood at the foot of Mount Jiuhua, his heart was filled with piety and awe. He climbed the mountain slowly, chanting the Buddha's name devoutly along the way, with an extremely pious heart. Just when he was about to reach the top of the mountain, the sky suddenly became covered with dark clouds and heavy rain poured down. But Zhang San was not scared at all. Instead, he moved forward more firmly. At this moment, he vaguely saw a kind figure in front of him guiding him. Following that figure, Zhang San finally arrived safely at the temple on the top of the mountain. In front of the temple stood a majestic statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva, emitting a sacred glow. Zhang San suddenly felt extremely peaceful inside, as if he was having an unspoken communication with the Bodhisattva. In the days that followed, Zhang San visited Mount Jiuhua to worship, reciting Buddhist scriptures and worshipping Buddha devoutly every day. Gradually, all his inner troubles and worries disappeared, and were replaced by unprecedented tranquility and joy. I believe that it was the blessing of Guanyin Bodhisattva that allowed this ordinary citizen to have such a magical experience. Jiuhua Mountain is indeed a sacred and solemn Buddhist holy place. Many devout believers have personally experienced the magic and compassion of Buddhism here. This story undoubtedly brings us deep inspiration and enlightenment.

Mount Jiuhua is known as 'one of the four famous Buddhist mountains in China,' with a constant stream of pilgrims coming to pray and fulfill their vows every year.

Jiuhuashan is a mountain in #anhui province located near #huangshan (aka #yellowmountain). While not as famous or well known as its neighbor, it’s still absolutely worth a visit! At the top of Mount Jiuhua, you’ll find an ancient Buddhist temple. It’s a beautiful and quiet experience if you’re looking for a getaway from crazy city life. Plus, there aren’t too many crowds on this #mountain . #wintergetaway

There are two ways to reach the Centennial Palace. One is walking, the other is a ground-mounted cable car. The cable car is 100 yuan. The unique floor-type cable car is worth the experience. The reason why the Centennial Palace is famous is because there is a golden Buddha here. The 100-year-old palace is located on the Jiuhua Mountain Mokang Ridge. The first name of the Baisui Palace is Star-Dragonfly, also known as Wan Nian Temple. Dongya Temple and Ganlu Temple are the four jungles of Jiuhua Mountain. The Baisui Palace is also the second body of Jiuhua Mountain, which is used by the innocent Zen master. On the Jiuhua Mountain, in addition to the monks and devout believers in the temple, the most you see is the cat. A corner, or a look up, you will always find them in surprise, or shrink into a group of tourists looking at the roadside, or sit back and watch this beautiful Jiuhua. Compared with the 100-year-old palace, there is a large hall. In the past, it was a five hundred Luohantang. The total construction area of the five hundred Luohantang was more than 1,000 square meters. It was a palace-like structure, just built on a cliff, through Luohan. The window of the church is seen as the Foshan Mountain in front of the Shanhuatai Scenic Area. Going up the stairs, I walked into Luohantang and saw the five hundred arhats in various poses and golden glory.

Back to Anhui, Anhui cuisine is indispensable. Chizhou belongs to Weinan, and the cuisine also belongs to Anhui cuisine. Dinner we dine at Jiuhua Center Hotel. Today's Anhui cuisine is not just skunk squid, hairy tofu, traditional practices, different ingredients, but also can spark different sparks on the tip of the tongue, such as a stinky red-smelling squid with a stench... Hu Shi Yipin Pot, a unique dish in southern Anhui. A cauldron, with a diameter of two or three feet, comes up hot, and it is still boiling. A layer of chicken, a layer of duck, a layer of meat, a layer of oil tofu, decorated with some egg dumplings, as well as radishes, greens, tastes very good. Braised red croaker, a traditional Chinese cabbage innovation, the traditional practice of replacing the common squid with small yellow croaker, picking up small yellow croaker with light salt water in a simmer of about 25 degrees for six or seven days, the fish will smell like a stinky fish. Non-smelling smell, scale is not off, quality is unchanged. It is a veritable smell of smell, eating incense, fleshy and mellow, fresh and fragrant, unique flavor. Stone ear scrambled eggs, stone ear is a local fungus growing in the cracks of the stone, similar to the presence of fungus, but the taste is more fragrant than the fungus. Stone ear scrambled eggs, simple practice, but exceptionally delicious.

Its still a bit of a hurry to go to Jiuhua Mountain in 2 days, and it will definitely take 3 days in the future. When I was a child, my mother went to Jiuhuashan. It was very spiritual. I was so big for the first time, holding a sincere heart and repairing a very mature scenic spot. The car drove down to the mountain, and there was a unified eco-car that wraps around the mountain road and bends for about half an hour. First stayed at the hotel on the mountain, a small town is quite quiet, a little commercial atmosphere along the way, snacks and small drink crafts everywhere. is one of the four famous mountains in Buddhism, and is also known as the Wutai Mountain in Shanxi, Putuo Mountain in Zhejiang, and Mount Emei in Sichuan. I heard people say that I have to go three times in a row, 369. Anyway, if I go next time, I prefer the high-speed rail. I can get off at Chizhou Station and change to a scenic bus, so it will be a little more comfortable. Because it took too long to go on the first day, only the next three days went up three core places, Jiuhua Street took a Huacheng Temple and touched the mother stone lion, then Going to the temple of the moon, there are the Tibetan Temple, the Moon Hall and so on. Finally, I took a cable car to the 100-year-old palace. There are also 500 Luohantang, Feilai Guanyin Peak and natural sleeping Buddha. If you want to walk by yourself, it will take 2.5-3 hours. It is too late. The fare of the cable car is 100 yuan. It can be quite convenient in 3 minutes. There are no time to go to the Huashan Scenic Spot in the mountains of the mountains, the nunnery, and the Huatai Scenic Area, leaving the next time to go together. There are 3 free items in the fragrance, and the management is quite in place. Self-promotional guides at the gate, quote

At the beginning of January, I visited Jiuhuashan and punched the rooftop scenic spot. "Under the rooftop, it is equal to not coming." The rooftop is the core scenic spot of Jiuhua Mountain, and it is also the place where Jiuhua Mountain must go. In addition to the ancient Buddhist scriptures, the Tiantai Temple and other Buddhist temples, Jiuhuashan's highest peak, Shiwangfeng, is also worth a visit. But the snow covered the mountain road, many people missed it, watching the ice on the railing knows how big the wind is here, that is, the heavy snow and fog obscures the line of sight, otherwise it should be more beautiful!

Because the temperature is still relatively cold, when the snow is snowing, you can see a large piece of ice. A strip of ice hangs over the cliff, attracting a large number of tourists and photographers to enjoy the scenery and feel the different styles in the winter. After climbing for a while, if you are tired, you may wish to turn around and look back. You can see the entire ancient prayer platform and the Daxiong Hall. From another angle, it is a different kind of scenery. Continue to climb up, you can see a huge stone on the cliff, about 30 meters high, the wings are distinct, like Dapeng. Legend has it that the sacred land is here to worship the chanting, and Dapeng flies to listen and becomes a stone, so it is called "Dapeng Hejing." The most interesting one is the long granite peak like Huba, which stands in the north and south. It stands in a cylindrical shape and stands in the middle of the sea. Qingsong hovered from the top, like the eternal candle, illuminated Jiuhua, always shine, so it is called "candle peak". The reason for this is that granite is formed along the vertical and horizontal joints, with strong cutting and spherical weathering. This paragraph seems to go straight to the ladder of the sky. I have rested two or three times. In fact, I am afraid of it. I really climbed up and I feel that it is not so tired. You see this, the white pigeons come with us. Going to the rooftop. finally arrived at Tiantai Temple, which is also known as the Tiantai Zhengding. It is 1,306 meters above sea level and is the highest ancient temple in Jiuhua Mountain. It is only less than ten in the Jiuhua Mountain in Jiuhua Mountain. Wang Feng, Qixian Peak. Most Buddhists who come to Jiuhuashan will worship here and call it "Zhongtian World", so the temple incense continues all the year round.

In the past few days in Jiuhuashan, the temperature has to rise several degrees every day. When you come to the 100-year-old palace, you want to see the oldest body. There is a cable car to the Centennial Palace, which will be reached soon. The sun is shining at noon, surrounded by trees, and the road is covered with a blessing lock. It is said that this is the first choice for the worship of the fragrant, the leading temple, with: the blessing of the hundred-year-old palace, everything is successful. However, you can take pictures outside the 100-year-old palace. You are not allowed to take pictures in the temple. Everyone should pay attention. Hundred Years Old Palace is located at 871 meters above sea level in Jiuhua Mountain. It was originally named Stars, also known as Wannian Temple. It was built in the Ming Dynasty, with Gengyuan Temple, Dongya Temple and Ganlu Temple. It is also called the Four Great Jungles of Jiuhua Mountain. The body is the real body, also called the body Bodhisattva or the Bodhisattva. It is pointed out that after the family has died, the flesh is still well preserved in a few years, that is, the body Bodhisattva, also known as King Kong is not bad. Buddhism believes that after the Buddha or Bodhisattva or the sorghum is dead, he can get relics. "Xuan Ying Yin Yi"

Jiuhua Street is a mountain basin with an average elevation of about 640 meters. It covers an area of about 4 square kilometers and is the core scenic spot of Jiuhua Mountain. It is also a distribution center for pilgrims. There are many hotels and hotels, and there are many temples. If you ask me how many temples there are in Jiuhua Mountain, I really can't count them clearly, but here I can quickly solve the problem of eating, drinking and living. In my opinion, it is Jiuhuashan. Small urban area. The surrounding peaks are green, surrounded by mountains, old streets, temples, temples, and meditation, and the emphasis on farming and meditation. It is the gathering place of Jiuhua Mountain's cultural landscape. As early as in the Longjin period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (AD 401), there was a Tianzhu Minglu Cupu that created Maosuo under Furong Ridge and pioneered the Jiuhuashan Buddhist activities. From the perspective of the drone God, you can still see the magnificent snow scene. As early as the Tang Dynasty, Jinluo Gao Jinjue came to Jiuhua, and the local gentry Zhuge Festival and others built a temple for him under the Tiger-shaped Mountain. He was given the name of Chengcheng Temple by the court. This is the Jiuhuashan Kaishanzu Temple. Today's Jiuhua Street is actually a ring town, surrounded by central temples. Important temples such as Qinyuan Temple, Qitan Temple and Huacheng Temple are here, as well as Jingjie Jingshe, Longjing, Huatian Temple, Julong Temple, Gonggong Temple, Bodhi Temple, and Pure Land. I really can see a temple without taking a few steps. If you plan to visit the Jiuhuashan two-day tour, it is recommended to stay in the mountain on the day of arrival, and then live here. After all, living in the mountains every day will take half an hour to go up the mountain, and you have to go through the mountain two times, which is rather cumbersome.

The ancient worship of the Taiwan, the far-sighted worship of the Daxiong Hall on the stage, the crowds are moving, the pilgrims are endless. In fact, taking the cableway is only halfway. If you want to go to the highest peak of the rooftop, you still need to climb up for yourself. The trip to the ancient worship platform has always been a relatively gentle road. There is no ladder. There are many viewing platforms that can be photographed. It is more comfortable to stop and take pictures at any time while walking. I saw the distant clouds, the layers of mountains and rivers, overlooking the mountains, I saw the green trees into pieces, this is like the Jiuhua Mountain just under the snow, it is clearly a vibrant spring, overnight, yesterday The snow scene can no longer be found. Looking at the mountains, I feel that everything is as magical as dreams, and the sight in front of me is simply a slap in the sky. Qifengs ambiguity is looming in the clouds. For example, the fairies are wrapped in veil, and the steep rocks in the vicinity stand like a silent voice, as if they are expecting something and thinking about it. There is a yellow building under the ancient prayers. It is a vegetarian restaurant. When you come to the Buddhist holy place, you have to taste the local vegetarian food. But I dont know why, this restaurant is closed, so I havent arrived yet. Let's have a meal, but there is such a vegetarian restaurant at the highest peak of the rooftop, so my companion and I are ready to climb the rooftop to eat vegetarian food. Up to the ancient prayer platform, this is the only way to the Tiantai Temple. It is said that this place was once the place where the Tibetan King Bodhisattva read the "Hua Yan Jing", so it was named Gubaijingtai. The ancient worship hall is different from the temple of Jiuhua Mountain. It is dedicated to Sakyamuni Buddha.

Located at the forefront of the central axis, Hongyuan Hall is the center of the Dalai Culture Park. It is also the largest and most complete place to display Tibetan culture in the world. Enter the lobby, the splendor, the interior decoration is elegant, but it is not serious. From the Buddhism to the East, to the Tibetans, and from the ancient collections, to the various generations of Tibetan law and cultural relics, all displayed in front of people, forming a complete world of Tibetan Buddhist culture. There are exquisite wood carvings, telling stories about the enlightenment of the earth, as well as stone carvings, depicting the scenery of Jiuhuadi, and various inlaid scriptures. The foundation is profound and quite shocking. The completion and opening of Hongyuan Hall is undoubtedly a feat of merit. When you enter the hall of Hongyue Hall, you need to wear a shoe cover. You can't speak loudly. Only when you calm down, can you talk to the Buddha. There is also a pavilion in the inner hall, which tells about the Buddha culture of Jiuhua Mountain. It features the culture of the Daoist Dojo and is characterized by sincere religious beliefs, reflecting a certain degree of accession to the WTO. And human care, but also reflects the pursuit of the value of life. according to the Buddhist scriptures
