九莲土菜馆

The gap after leaving my job gave me the opportunity to realize a wish for 2023 - to experience a deep meditation. So, the moment the resignation notice was issued, I started planning without hesitation and quickly arranged everything. A week later, I was standing in front of the gate of this ancient temple, ready to welcome a brand new beginning. Before that, I didn't know much about mindfulness, meditation or sitting meditation. I just saw many people praising this experience, so I decided to give myself a chance to try it. After all, this is a free and safe adventure, why not? However, when I, a novice in the world of Zen meditation, stepped into Qingyuan Zen Temple, I realized that the intensity of practice here is comparable to graduate courses, rigorous and profound. During these ten days, our lives were strictly regulated: mobile phones were prohibited from being used, speech was prohibited from being uttered, and the diet was only vegetarian. The work and rest time was to get up at four in the morning and go to bed at ten in the evening. The main task every day was to sit in meditation for ten hours. We need to observe our breathing and feel every bit of the body. Here, in addition to practice, we don't need to worry about any worldly affairs. Qingyuan Zen Temple provides free food and accommodation, and volunteers are responsible for maintaining order, cleaning, and arranging life. We only need to accept the careful care of others like kindergarten children. Looking back on the first day, everyone's face was full of confusion, politeness and alienation. Obviously, they are all people who have lived in the hustle and bustle of the city for a long time. But on the tenth day, everyone's face was filled with friendly smiles. Whether they knew each other or not, everyone gathered together and chattered. Although we didn't say a word in ten days because of the ban on speaking, our hearts felt so close and there was no barrier. This is an atmosphere full of unconditional love, beyond class, social status, wealth, beauty, ugliness, age, national boundaries, and only pure, unconditional love. Check in at the food recommended by locals in Qingyang, Chizhou Jiulian Local Cuisine Restaurant The four of us ordered four dishes The chicken soup is a special signature dish, with a whole chicken stewed in it, which is very fresh The fried tripe is delicious and is a typical Anhui cuisine flavor, with a good taste, but it is slightly salty The sweet and sour spareribs are not wrapped in the dough in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but the taste is also great. You can try the seasonal vegetables, which are fried very crispy and very refreshing The price is also okay, four people ate less than 300 yuan, 70+ per person Overall, there is no thunder Comrade Oyster Love is more than just barbecue It is a late-night snack shop recommended by local friends We arrived at the store at 11 o'clock in the evening. There are a lot of people inside The barbecue taste is very strong, and there are a lot of seasonings. It feels like eating the seasonings in one bite. The meat is very old and I don’t like it very much The corn pancakes have no taste, and the sand of the clams has not been spit out cleanly The potato skin and scallops are just passing level, and the taste is very strong Not recommended Cui Ji Northeast Iron Pot Stew Ordered the sparerib pot and the fried chicken pot, the ingredients are very sufficient, and the meat is stewed very soft Very tasty red sausage, preserved egg tofu, beef tendon, and pot-fried pork are all very delicious. None of them were disappointing. Just go easy on them. The service is very good. The staff and the boss are very enthusiastic. The boss lady saw that we ordered potatoes and reminded us that the iron pot stew side dishes bring their own potatoes. She helped us cancel the potatoes we ordered. Seven people ate more than 500 yuan, 80+ yuan per person. 4 Dafajia Local friends said that their mixed noodles are a must. Due to the disappointing recommendation of the barbecue restaurant, I still tried it with a try mentality. The noodles are very chewy and the taste is actually delicious, but because I can't I eat salty food, so it's still salty for me④The green bean soup is just right, the toppings are generous, but the lion head is soso We went to Dafajia for two days. Because the mixed noodles on the first day were too salty for me, I ordered pork chop soup noodles on the second day. It was delicious The dining environment in the store is very good, and the price is ok, 20+ per person In general, the taste of Qingyang is heavy and salty. If you like light food, there is nothing good to eat here. If you have to come for other reasons, you can only eat KFC! KFC always saves tourists with different tastes all over the country. #Anhui Qingyang #Play Outdoor #City Humanities Notes #Food Ten-day Taste Meeting #Local Food
