Nanyue Temple is large in scale, with seven courtyards in front and back. The third one is the three caves in the form of a gatehouse, and the middle one is called Zhengchuan Gate. Inside, there is an exquisite and unique imperial tablet pavilion, which contains the plaintiff's inscription written by the sage Kangxi in the forty-seventh year (1708) for the reconstruction of Nanyue Temple. The sixth entrance is the main hall, in front of which is a large suite. The main hall stands on the stone steps of 17 grade, and the stone steps in the middle are inlaid with Youlong relief of white marble. The Hall of the Great Hero is more than 70 feet high, and it is a building with double eaves and rests on the top of the mountain. There are 72 large stone pillars inside and outside, symbolizing Nanyue 72 Peak. The roof of the temple is covered with orange glazed tiles, which were only enjoyed by royal temples in feudal times. Inside and outside the temple are decorated with swords, dragons and figures from the Eight Immortals. At the four corners of the cornice, bronze bells hang down, windows and siding under the cornice are all carved with stories of various figures or flowers, trees, birds and animals. On the back wall, there are large paintings of Yunlong and Feng Dan. There are granite railings around the steps of the main hall, lions, unicorns, elephants and horses are carved on the stigma, and 144 pieces of white marble are embedded in the railings. The temple is dedicated to the King of Nanyue. It was named "Four Days of Fire King" in the early Tang Dynasty, "The True King of Nanyue" in the Kaiyuan Period and "Four Zhao Tian Sheng Di" in the Song Dynasty. The Nanyue Temple we are seeing now is said to have been rebuilt in the style of the Forbidden City in Beijing in the eighth year of Guangxu reign (1882). It is the largest and most well-preserved ancient palace-style temple among the five mountains in China.
Tickets for Nanyue Temple 20 yuan/person. Please note that there are many people selling cigarettes and candles near Da Yue, so don't buy them and ignore them. Because these cigarettes and candles are said to be dozens, but you told them, and they pestered you, saying that there were eight bodhisattvas in the temple, so you had to buy eight, and more than 400 were killed. There are many similar complaints about Hengshan on the Internet.
If you arrive early, you won't stay in the temple for long. If it's early, you can also go to Zhu Sheng Temple, which is not far from the temple. The fare is 3 yuan/person. Zhu Sheng Temple is one of the five jungles of Nanyue Buddhism. It has a long history. Built in the Tang Dynasty, it was revived and abandoned several times in history. It was once changed into a Taoist temple. In the Qing Dynasty, it was listed as the palace of Kangxi's southern tour of Hengshan Mountain. Later, Kangxi did not come to Hengshan for some reason, and local officials renamed it Zhu Sheng Temple on the occasion of Kangxi's 60th birthday. Like Guiyuan Temple in Wuhan, the highlight of Zhu Sheng Temple is its Lohan Hall. It is said that the five hundred arhats here were completed in three years by a monk named Xinyue who is good at carving. However, when we went, because I stayed in Nanyue Temple for too long, we couldn't visit Zhu Sheng Temple on the evening of 65438 10.
On the evening of October 2nd, 65438/KLOC-0, I checked into Yuan Yin Hotel at the foot of the mountain, which is a two-star hotel operated by Hunan Industrial and Commercial Bank. Accommodation 200 yuan/standard room. Opposite the hotel is the tourist market and snack night market. Nanyue's tourism products have no characteristics. Personally, don't buy it. Of course, you should take a souvenir back to prove that you have been here. Dinner is best eaten in the street, and hotels are more expensive. Snacks and our Wuhan, mainly barbecue, stinky tofu with Hunan characteristics.
To see the sunrise, you have to stay at the top of the mountain in 6543810.3, so the first thing to do when you arrive in Nanyue is to call Shangfeng Temple to book accommodation, because Shangfeng Temple is the closest to the sun observation deck and is the best viewing place. If Shangfeng Temple is full, you can also book Gao Tai Temple or Shixian Pavilion. There is also a hotel at the top of the mountain, but it is at least 50% more expensive than the foot of the mountain.
654381on the morning of October 3, the couple got up early and ate Hunan rice noodles and tofu flowers for breakfast on the street. After breakfast, go to the mountain ticket office and buy a mountain ticket for 8 1 yuan/person (1 yuan is an insurance and a pass, and the scenic spots on the mountain are basically free, except for 5 yuan/person, the mysterious cave 10 yuan/person), and then buy a tourist bus ticket for 25 yuan/person from the ticket office to the Nantianmen. The bus stops at the following scenic spots: Martyr's Temple-Chuanshi Shilin-Banshan Pavilion-Magu Wonderland-Mojingtai-Fuyan Temple-Folk Culture City-Tibetan Classics Pavilion-Nantianmen.
Martyrs shrine
Martyrs Temple was completed in 1942. It is the only large-scale martyrs cemetery in Chinese mainland to commemorate the soldiers killed in the Anti-Japanese War and a national key cultural relics protection unit. There are memorial archways, July 7th memorial tower, memorial hall, memorial tablet and pleasure hall in the temple. Above the Martyrs' Shrine is the memorial forest of Chiang Kai-shek's trip to Nanyue, surrounded by green hills, and the towering Gu Song tightly surrounds the whole building in the mountains. * * * There are 13 large tombs of martyrs, which are used to bury the remains of soldiers killed in the ninth war zone. The red leaves in the Martyrs Temple are very beautiful.
There are dozens of calligraphers' works in Chuanyan Shilin. Magu Wonderland echoes Magu's birthday legend from a distance, and Mojingtai is the place where Chiang Kai-shek lived when he visited Nanyue. Although it is small, Fuyan Temple is one of the top ten jungles of Buddhism, and it is also a holy place for spreading Buddhism in China. The sutra depository, one of the four wonders of Nanyue, was built in the 6th century. In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, it was named the Tibetan Classics Pavilion because Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of Ming Dynasty, gave me a Tibetan Classics and hid it here. The food on the mountain is expensive, so it is recommended to bring your own dry food. Please note that there are several kinds of long-distance buses, some of which are through trains along the extension line. Please be careful not to get on the wrong bus. Don't stay too long in the scenic spots along the extension line, so as not to spend too much time, especially in places with heavy traces of modern people, such as Linshiyan and National Cultural City.
It was afternoon when the bus arrived at the worse gate. There is a bus to Zhurongfeng, which goes back and forth to 10 yuan/person. I bought a one-way ticket to 5 yuan/person because I didn't go down the mountain that day. Climbing Zhurong Peak, you can have a panoramic view of the 72nd Peak of Nanyue, one of the four wonders of Nanyue, the height of Zhu Rong. There is Zhurong Temple on Zhurong Peak and Huixian Bridge outside, which is the most dangerous place in the whole Hengshan Mountain, located between the two basic mountains. If you are timid or afraid of heights, don't try to walk, or you will fall down. Because we spend less time when we go up the mountain, we still have time to visit Shangfeng Temple and Gao Tai Temple. Gu Song, Gao Tai is worth seeing.
If you want to see the sunrise, you have to live at the top of the mountain. Even if you don't watch the sunrise, you can't go down the mountain that day. At least you have to live on the hillside. Accommodation on the mountainside is cheaper than that on the top of the mountain, and there is a small farmhouse. However, we still live in Shangfeng Temple on the top of the mountain, listening to the twilight drum and the morning bell to calm our hearts. However, this quiet flower spent 160 yuan again. I had the most unforgettable birthday in the Millennium ancient Nanyue Mountain. According to the tradition of China people, my wife specially made me a bowl of instant noodles as my birthday noodles.
Autumn sightseeing water curtain
65438 10-4, the young couple got up before dawn and went straight to the sun-watching platform to watch the sunrise. Watching the sunrise in autumn is the scenic spot of Hengshan Mountain. As long as the weather is good, the sunrise in the sea of clouds in Hengshan Mountain will make you unforgettable all your life. If it is good enough, you might as well take a picture with a camera or video camera, which is very memorable. Be sure to get up early to watch the sunrise, and you'd better use your mobile phone as an alarm clock. The best place to watch the sunrise is the Sunrise Observatory, which is close to the Shangfeng Temple where we live. After watching the sunrise, don't stop, hurry down the mountain.
From Zhurongfeng to Nantianmen, take the cableway to Banshan Pavilion, and the fare is 25 yuan/person. Come down quickly, or there will be more people and you will have to wait by cableway. We came down early, and no one lined up. After walking down the mountain, the scenic spots of the extended route have basically been swam the day before, so there is not much to stay. Have lunch after going down the mountain, and then go to water curtain cave. Remember to ask the price first, otherwise the driver will deliberately take a long way, with a journey of about 4 kilometers, one way 10 yuan. You can also take the shuttle bus. This is one of the four wonders of Nanyue, and the ticket is 2 1 yuan/person. Water curtain cave legend is the place where Zhu Ling lived, called Zhuling Cave. This is actually a waterfall, and the scenery is very good.
When I came back from water curtain cave, I passed by Zhu Sheng Temple and had dinner here. As a famous religious mountain in both Buddhism and Taoism, Nanyue's vegetarian diet is not bad. After dinner, I live in Zhu Sheng Temple. There is no double room here. The couple will live separately, but it's cheap here, and it only costs 60 yuan each.
