Things to do in Xinxing

This was my second visit. The staff at the ticket booth were very friendly and explained everything to me. It was raining, so there weren't many people, and the air was quite fresh. The chicken at Meixi Town was delicious, and the owner was very kind. As for the scenic area itself, it was just average.

The hot spring area was thoughtfully designed, giving it a tropical rainforest (Bali) feel, with ancient trees standing tall. The staff were very welcoming and polite, frequently asking guests if they needed water and proactively greeting them. The area was clean and hygienic, with the pools having their water changed regularly. The changing rooms were clean and tidy, and cleaned promptly. The only downside was the limited number of showers, leading to queues. The red bean paste and jelly in the lounge were delicious!!!

The Guo'en Temple, the hometown of the Sixth Patriarch, is free to visit. It is a Zen temple with a long history and ancient simplicity. There are a group of white marble steles, a Baoen Pagoda, and a fragrant lychee tree planted by the Sixth Patriarch. It allows you to learn more about the Sixth Patriarch Huineng. It is definitely worth a visit. It is recommended to drive by yourself or join a tour group. It is not far from Xinxing County.

I took advantage of the National Day holiday to visit Yunfu Xinxing for four days. I am most satisfied with this resort! The swimming lanes are very comfortable, the environment is very beautiful, and it is ok to take pictures! The hot springs in the scenic area are also very good, and the price-performance ratio is very high! The buffet is also worth recommending, with many varieties, and my daughter is very satisfied!

Guo'en Temple was originally named Bao'en Temple. It was built by Huineng, the sixth ancestor of Zen Buddhism, to repay his parents for their upbringing. Later, Wu Zetian granted it the name Guo'en Temple. The temple is located at the Dragon Head of Longshan Mountain, and was also called Longshan Temple in ancient times. There is a Tang Dynasty memorial archway in the temple, with the words "First Place" written on it. Next to the temple are the "Parents' Tomb" and the "Bao'en Pagoda" as well as the litchi tree planted by the sixth ancestor Huineng, which has been more than a thousand years old. The first hall in the temple is the "Dharma Guardian Hall", where the Sixth Patriarch's Altar Sutra prayer wheel is turned, and Shenxiu and Fahai are enshrined on the left and right to honor the two for their merits in protecting the sutra. There are five white marble steles behind the Heavenly King Hall. The one in the middle is the imperial edict of Wu Zetian in those days, and the other four inscriptions are written by Liu Zongyuan, Wang Wei, and Liu Yuxi. The temple opens at 8 am, so you don't have to go too early.

This show is definitely worth seeing! You'll understand what a live performance is all about! The varied stage design, lighting, characters, and scenery are all truly breathtaking! Just a reminder: you might want to dress warmly in winter, as it's an outdoor performance after all!

We arrived at about 10 o'clock. The hot spring water was good, but there were some foreign objects in the water because there were too many people. It is not recommended to soak in medicinal water. After warming my feet in the Angelica Pool, my skin became itchy. Some elderly people in other pools used medicine bags to rub their bodies. The Ferris wheel carnival was good. The game time of the amusement rides (12) was longer than that of other amusement parks, and the package ticket was affordable.

Xiangshun Jinshuitai Hot Spring is a good place for family vacations. There is a water park in summer and hot springs in autumn and winter. Play in the water, pick fruits, and stay in a motorhome! The children don’t want to leave at all! There are also local specialties around!

Windmill Mountain is a poetic place in Xinxing County. On the weekend, I embarked on a journey to Windmill Mountain with anticipation. Walking along the winding mountain road, there are lush trees on both sides, and the sun shines through the gaps in the leaves, casting mottled light and shadows. The breeze blows, and the leaves rustle, as if welcoming our arrival. Although the mountain road is a bit steep, the scenery along the way makes people forget their fatigue. Finally reaching the top of the mountain, the view is suddenly clear. Windmills are spinning in the wind on the ridge. They are large or small, colorful, and shining in the sun. The blades of the windmill whirred in the wind, as if playing a cheerful movement. I stood on the top of the mountain, overlooking the scenery below the mountain. The fields and villages in the distance were in full view. The breeze blew on my face, bringing a hint of coolness, which made people feel relaxed and happy. At Windmill Mountain, I felt the charm of nature and also experienced a kind of tranquility and beauty. There is no hustle and bustle of the city here, only fresh air and beautiful scenery. Windmill Mountain is really a place that makes people linger, it allows me to find peace and relaxation in my busy life.
