The Dafo Temple, which is free of admission in March, is truly breathtaking
Xinchang, a severely underrated small county, offers a shock that far exceeds expectations with its Dafo Temple. It is also the filming location for TV dramas such as 'Zhou Sheng Ru Gu' and 'Lianhua Lou', and is even referred to as the 'Dunhuang of Yue Kingdom', with a history of over 1600 years.
Before March 31st, the free admission policy for Dafo Temple continues, with no reservation required! Only the largest Buddha in the south of the Yangtze River requires a flower and incense ticket for 20, but I've discovered a treasure route that allows for free entry.
Free tour route:
Dafo Temple Shicheng Entrance → Petrified Forest Buddha Mountain Holy Land → Arhat Cave → Buddha Heart Plaza → Qiguang Clean Residence → Thousand Buddha Pagoda → Prajna Valley → Life Release Pond The largest Buddha in the south of the Yangtze River → Buddha Heart Plaza Dry Buddha Zen Institute Shuanglin Grottoes → Dafo Temple Exit

Scenic features:
The Buddha statues under the cliff are heart-stirring, with a 50-meter waterfall cascading down, offering a view at every step, reminiscent of the charm of Jiangnan gardens. It's like stepping into a martial arts world, with the mountain-bodied Buddha, it's hard to distinguish what is mountain and what is Buddha at times. Don't miss this hidden gem when traveling in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai, and Dafo Temple is definitely worth adding to our must-visit list.
Note: The Fat Sister's Spring Pancakes near Dafo Temple are really worth a try, with the pig head meat spring pancake highly recommended~
I hope you can also leave beautiful memories in this carbohydrate kingdom~

The ginkgo of the Big Buddha Temple ruins is always slower than other places. The ginkgo in Hangzhou city has basically fallen, but it has finally turned yellow. The latecomers are always more stunningly beautiful. The ginkgo is layered on the small house, stone bench, full of golden beauty
