Near Lingming Line
From Guoqing Temple to Mingyan Ancient Temple, each temple has its unique charm
✨This is an ancient temple from the Sui Dynasty hidden in the mountains, Mingyan Ancient Temple. It has its unique scenery, with the temple built along the mountain. The main hall is surrounded by peaks, and from a distance, you can see a waterfall cascading down from the stone beam at the top of the mountain!
👉Entering the ancient temple, the cave path is deep and very cool. Inside the cave, there is also a waterfall curtain. After the rain, the water volume increases. Walking a bit further inside, you can see a narrow sky between two rock mountains. Next to it are the Three Saints Hall, the Ksitigarbha Hall, and the Arhat Hall! Especially the Ksitigarbha Hall, its door is decorated in an elegant, wooden structure. The Bodhisattva inside is embedded in the rock, feeling the perfect fusion of divinity and nature.
👉Continuing up along the temple, I saw a scene that deeply shocked my soul. In the crevice of the mountain, there stands a statue of a Bodhisattva. The waterfall flows down from the crevice at the top of the mountain, splashing on the Bodhisattva. The Guanyin bottle in the Bodhisattva's hand is tilted, as if the water is flowing out from the bottle. At this moment, my Chinese blood seemed to awaken instantly; the atmosphere is absolutely perfect!

Compared to Guoqing Temple, I have a deeper affection for this secluded ancient Sui Dynasty temple!
🌳 Hidden in the emerald mountains, Mingyan Ancient Temple seems like a secret garden in a paradise on earth~🌸 The ancient temple rests against the mountain🌌, surrounded by peaks like guardian deities🏞️. Looking up, the waterfall cascades down from the cloud-covered stone beams like ribbons🌊, stunningly beautiful to the point of trembling hearts!🌟
👣 Stepping into the ancient temple, one instantly travels to a serene fairyland🕳️. A cool sensation hits the face🍃, and deep in the cave lies a surprise—the Water Curtain Cave waterfall after the rain is doubly spectacular🌧️, with the sound of water babbling🎵, the most melodious symphony of nature.
🔍 Continuing the exploration, the spectacle of a sliver of sky quietly emerges🌌. With cliffs on both sides, the sky light is like a thread💫. The Three Saints Hall stands quietly here🏯, the wooden door of the Ksitigarbha Hall is elegantly simple🚪, and the coexisting Bodhisattva statues with the rocks🙏 make one exclaim in admiration, this is simply the ultimate dialogue between nature and the divine✨!
👣 Climbing high for a distant view, the most soul-shaking scene quietly unfolds🌄—between the mountain crevices, a Bodhisattva statue stands proudly alone🗿, with the waterfall caressing it like satin ribbons🌊. As the vase of Guanyin tilts💧, it seems as if the essence of heaven and earth is flowing🌀. At that moment, what surges in the heart is not just awe, but also the swelling pride of being a child of China MAX!🎉
