    ""Spain is too far, go to the Dongfengyun Scenic Area". When I saw the scenic spot at first glance, I naturally created this slogan in my mind. The scenic spot is distinctive, and China is the only one. But the season I came this time was wrong, and I didn't see a large sea of flowers in full bloom. Next time you come to Maitreya, come and see."

    "The scenery is still the same on rainy days. There are fewer tourists in the off-season, and the scenery is better with fewer people. The 1999 steps are recommended to go up by yourself. We bought back and forth tickets and wasted. The golden Maitreya Buddha and Buddha are very shocking. The Maitreya Buddha Temple is located in the center of Maitreya, Yunnan Province. It is a temple complex with Buddhist culture as the core. It mainly worships the Maitreya Buddha. It has become one of the Buddhist cultural holy sites in Maitreya with its magnificent architecture and tranquil atmosphere. This temple is not only a religious place, but also a tourist attraction, attracting countless tourists to worship and sightseeing. Kim Ping Mountain is one of the main natural landscapes of Maitreya, about 1,000 meters above sea level, known for its handsome peaks, dense vegetation and spectacular sea of clouds, and is a popular spot for hiking, mountaineering and viewing. Jinping Mountain is also a Buddhist resort, with some ancient Buddhist relics, the temple in the mountains is full of incense, and it is a frequent place for believers and tourists."

    "Tuanshan House is a must-play place in Jianshui. What needs to be complained is that the joint tickets for the four attractions are only valid on the same day, that is, as long as one ticket is checked, the other three must be played on the same day. We can only calculate the time very accurately because of this."
