|Liujiang Guangming Temple, a niche attraction, is a huge hit. 🎐 When visiting ancient towns around Chengdu, Yanyu Liujiang is a place that has been famous for a long time and is worth savoring. However, I have traveled several times over the years and have never heard of the Guangming Temple nearby. Until this trip, I drove from Chengdu. , a 2.5-hour direct journey, starting a shocking journey of spiritual healing. 🤗 🏯Stepping into this pure land, the Guangming Temple in front of you seems to have traveled from the prosperous Tang Dynasty, with majesty and solemnity, and a myriad of atmospheres. 🌟The cornices are spread out like bird wings, the brackets are like stacked clouds, the white walls are simple and elegant, and the brown tiles are solemn. The temple is located in a scenic spot halfway up the mountain, backed by rolling green mountains, surrounded by Yuping Mountain and Houjia Mountain. Facing the meandering Huaxi River, Liujiang Ancient Town not far away is crowded with tourists. 🌈Under the same blue sky and white clouds, among the green mountains and green waters, Guangming Temple is quiet and quiet, as if the hustle and bustle of the world has been isolated. 🌈Walking into the temple, the unique agricultural Zen practice advocated by the great monk Yongshou is eye-catching. The courtyard is surrounded by four sides, with farmland inside. The green rice vines sway gently in the breeze, seeming to tell the Zen language of the years. 🌺The hydrangeas bloomed like dreamy colored balls, with colorful colors, but it was a pity that it was out of season and not even one out of ten was left. 🌸On the other hand, the lotus in front of the Sutra Library was in perfect bloom, standing gracefully and gracefully, noble and refined. While walking, the impetuousness in my heart gradually dissipated, leaving only a sense of tranquility and tranquility. 🌳🌳🌳 ⛩️Although the Buddhist temple was newly renovated, its architectural style and decorative details strictly followed the regulations of the Tang Dynasty. Every brick, tile, beam and column carries the memory of history and the accumulation of culture. 🙏Here, time seems to stand still. You can devoutly light a stick of incense in front of the Buddha and make good wishes; you can also find tables and chairs in the large and deep corridors on both sides to sit leisurely, copy scriptures and drink tea, letting the fragrance of ink and tea intertwine. Or just sit in a daze and relax, watch the clouds roll and relax, listen to the wind and enjoy the fragrance of flowers, so that your mind can relax like never before. 😃 🖼️This is definitely a good place to film. The ancient charm of the Tang Dynasty, the rice fields of the Buddhist temple, the flower front hall, the blue sky and the distant mountains, these details are eye-catching and nourishing. The close-up shots are exquisite and rich, and the long-range shots are ethereal and far-reaching🏞️. No matter whether the babies are in ancient style or Japanese makeup, they can perfectly integrate with this picturesque background, easily control the camera, and show their most charming style. 🎊 Just be careful, don't be as tragic as me. I almost fell into the rice field because I was too involved in taking pictures, and ended up stepping on the mud. 😂 📝Tips 🚗If you choose to drive by yourself, navigate directly to Liujiang Guangming Temple, which takes about 2.5 hours from Chengdu.

Hey, friends, I discovered a super cool hidden gem - Guangming Temple, a treasure trove away from the hustle and bustle! At night, it's as cool as if natural air conditioning is on, and I even caught the same sound healing event as Zhou Xun and Aya, which was a small blessing for the soul! Starting from Chengdu, you can drive there in two hours, and it's just a few minutes' drive from the ancient and quaint Liujiang Ancient Town. The temple is nestled halfway up the mountain, with a bit of 'under construction' anticipation. I heard it will be fully completed by the end of the year, and it will definitely be even more beautiful then! As soon as I entered the temple gate, I was captivated by the greenery everywhere. The lush green rice fields and the fragrant rice scent wafting in the wind were a feast for both the eyes and the nose! The temple is also particular about 'landscape greening,' with rapeseed and rice planted in rotation throughout the year. Last year, they harvested 6,000 jin of rice! This year, they planted hydrangeas, and I can't wait to imagine the sea of flowers next spring! Walking in the temple, I was completely enchanted by its gardens and architecture. Have you ever seen a temple that uses rapeseed flowers as a landscape? No, right? And every little scene fits perfectly with the main Tang-style Zen courtyard buildings, making it breathtakingly beautiful. Here's how to enjoy Guangming Temple: 1. Pray for blessings! Enter the gate, light incense or a lamp, walk clockwise in a circle, symbolizing smooth sailing in everything. Many young people come here to pray for career peace. 2. It's time for vegetarian meals! From 11:40 to 12:00, it's a vegetarian buffet. Take as much as you want, it's environmentally friendly and healthy. The cost is up to you. 3. Afternoon tea time, leisurely drinking tea in the corridor, looking at the distant mountains and nearby scenery, and feeling completely at peace. 4. Don't miss the accommodation experience, but you need to apply to the temple in advance. 5. Stroll through the wild vegetable garden, feed the fish by the release pond, and feel the rare tranquility and peace. Guangming Temple's activities are also rich and colorful, with rapeseed flower festivals, harvest festivals, and Zen tea activities. You can pick and taste tea with the monks, which is extremely pleasant! Remember to reserve parking for large events. It's usually open for free, with suitable opening hours in both winter and summer. The most surprising thing for me was the music therapy session, the same one attended by Zhou Xun and Aya! The largest ensemble of Southwest bronze gongs, and when the sound came out, I was completely healed. It was simply amazing! Navigation 🧭 Address: No. 31 Lianghe Road, Hongya County, Meishan
