After coming down from that small cave, I saw a scenic spot sign below the iron net road. I knew you would come, so I waited 😁 . Going down further, I saw a cave slightly larger than the previous one, but this one has a scenic view inside. There is a Guanyin statue inside, and next to her is a particularly small statue 🧐 . The large furnace outside the cave can also be considered a scenic spot, and next to it is the Jade Emperor Hall. . Originally, the Jade Emperor Hall looked quite nice, but after seeing another building called the Dharma Hall, I felt that the walls of the Jade Emperor Hall were not as beautiful as those of the Dharma Hall. The color of the Jade Emperor Hall should also be considered red, but it pales in comparison to the Dharma Hall 😓 . Moreover, the doors and windows of the Dharma Hall are also red and very beautiful. In contrast, apart from the plaque, the other parts of the Jade Emperor Hall's architecture really cannot compare to the Dharma Hall 😓 . On the way down the mountain after leaving the Dharma Hall, I unknowingly arrived at Tiantai Temple. The two stone lions in front of the gate stood there as if smiling, and the plaque above also had the words Chaoyang Cave Tiantai Temple 🧐 . Inside, you can also see the historical introduction of Chaoyang Cave Tiantai Temple 🙇 . Above, there is a Mahavira Hall. I walked up the steps, and what a magnificent palace it is 🙆 . Going around from the side, there is another small cave with a statue inside. The furnace also has the words Tiantai Temple on it. I have to say, the cave is always so cool 😈

Looking back at the Guanyin statue from here, although it is fenced off, you can still feel its height and the awe-inspiring presence of the 30-meter tall Guanyin statue 😎 . If you go inside to view it, the space is quite narrow. It's unclear why it is fenced off outside. It's a pity that such a large Guanyin statue cannot be viewed from a distance outside 😓 . After coming down from the Guanyin statue, if you walk along the main road, there is a climbing path to Yunhaitan. First, check in at the stone tablet here, then take a closer look at the emerald green water of the pool, which is very refreshing 😊 . While admiring the emerald green water of Yunhaitan, I also found a perfect spot for checking in. Standing here, you can capture the beautiful green leaves above and see the entire circular view of Yunhaitan 🧐 . However, do not walk on the rocky landscape in front. I tried to step on it a few times and found that it was hollow inside. It is very dangerous, and I almost fell 😓 . After going up the steps along the edge of Yunhaitan, I walked all the way to the Wishing Tree. There are also benches here where you can sit and rest 🙇 . After resting on the bench for a while, I started walking up the steps again, ready for new explorations 🤷‍♂️

After returning to Chaoyang, I got off near the bus station and then went inside to catch a bus to Kazuo County, where Longfeng Mountain is located. The ticket cost 31 yuan. There were also carpool options for 40 yuan, but taking the bus was better 😊 Upon arriving in Kazuo, I went directly to the bus station to inquire about the bus schedule to Longfeng Mountain for the next day and the boarding location (you need to go to the innermost room on the second floor of the Kazuo bus station to ask). They told me the earliest bus is at 6:40 AM and the latest is at 4:30 PM. I specifically asked about the color, and they said it was a green bus. You need to catch it across the street from the bus station. After that, I found a hotel to stay in for 49 yuan, which was quite affordable 🧐 The next morning, I went out early to find a place to eat, but many places were closed, and some breakfast shops had gone out of business. Only a pancake shop was open. I had a bowl of knife-cut noodles for 6 yuan, which filled me up with both noodles and soup. Before leaving, I packed two pancakes for 1.5 yuan each 🙇 While waiting for the bus, I met an aunt who said she runs a supermarket near Longfeng Mountain. She told me there are two scammers in Longfeng Mountain who have ruined its reputation—one near the Guanyin statue and the other near the Buddha cave. They charge hundreds of yuan for a single incense stick (of course, this is just what she said; I still need to verify it myself 😁). But I won't be fooled since I never burn incense or talk to them 😊 She also had an electric scooter with her. She said it was out of power, and she was familiar with the bus driver. When the bus arrived, the driver even got off to help her with the scooter 🧐 The fare to Longfeng Mountain was 4 yuan, but they recommended a free way: go around through the village and get off at a place that costs 3 yuan. They even told me the route, but I didn't remember it well. They said the villagers would tell me 😁 After getting off the bus, I walked towards the village but didn't see any villagers. I saw an old lady in a yard and asked her for directions. She told me to turn left and right. I thought I understood, but I still took the wrong path and had to cross through fields. Luckily, I met an uncle working in the field who told me I could go through there, but I had to walk many wild paths. He told me to keep going straight 🧐 I walked through many seemingly pathless places, including various jungles, iron fences, dirt, and several wild slopes. Finally, I reached an iron fence with a seemingly passable path in the middle, but it was overgrown with weeds and looked like it hadn't been walked on for a long time. I wasn't sure if I could get through 🧐 At this point, I considered going around the mountain, but I quickly dismissed the idea because it would take a lot of time and I might get lost 🙅 I decided to push forward because the uncle had told me to keep going straight to find the road. If I turned, I would be stuck. Sure enough, after pushing through the weeds, I saw the road above. I finally made it through this section 🤷‍♂️ After successfully turning onto the small dirt road, I felt relieved. The effort to cut through the thorns was worth it 😈 I followed the small dirt road forward until I reached the winding mountain road in the scenic area. I sat down in a shady spot to rest and started sweating 😓 While walking along the winding mountain road, I noticed a place on the right called the Primitive Tribe. Since I hadn't done any research on the scenic area and was just going with the flow, I really thought I had traveled to a primitive tribe at that moment. I was very excited 😈 From there, I walked up the steps and saw many intersections. I didn't know which way to go, so I first checked out the nearby attractions. There was a big ox statue, and then I saw a wooden gate with a straw roof and wooden supports. There was also a wooden sign that said 'Core Area of the Primitive Tribe.' So, I started my tour from there. It turns out the entrance to the primitive tribe looks like this 🧐

| Baocang Temple. Liaoyang | Baocang Temple 👍Highly recommended: 🌟Highlights: Baocang Temple (Guanyin Pavilion), from the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, went through two periods, called Longchang State during the Han Dynasty until it became a state in the Tang Dynasty. During the Tang Dynasty, when Xue Yinguai led troops to the east, the army stayed at Qianshan, which was exactly the time when Li Shimin, a great general, was leading troops in battle. Legend has it that there are two caves on the mountain, inhabited by two large pythons for a long time, with Mongolian inscriptions on the stones. The temple was destroyed during the Cultural Revolution. The mountain is called Longfeng Mountain, and it is recorded in the Liaoyang County Annals. A 93-year-old local, Guo Tiecheng, wanted to rebuild the Guanyin Pavilion six years ago. After Master Shi Tongsan learned about the situation, he organized a construction team to start rebuilding the temple. After more than six years of construction, the total investment has reached more than 9 million yuan, fulfilling an old man's long-cherished wish. A very quiet temple with few pilgrims. When visiting, the monks were washing clothes in the sunny courtyard, and laughter could be heard from afar, a warmth in the midst of the mundane world.
