I was fortunate to be led by Liang Liang, a guide at Elephant Cultural Tourism. During the off-season, there were only three people on the tour. The explanation was profound and easy to understand, and it was a truly worthwhile experience.
Standing beneath the gaze of the Vairocana Buddha, time seemed to lose its linearity. The gurgling Yi River flows, and the sound of chiseling has long since faded into the rock face, but those unknown artisans have achieved immortality through stone. The lingering resonance of today's journey stems not only from the visual awe but also from the wisdom and guidance I encountered, akin to opening a blind box. Its profound insights made this visit a spiritual pilgrimage.
Towards the end of the lecture, the topic turned to civilization, time, and death. Hearing the words, "The only equality before all living beings is death. A hundred years from now, AI will be widespread, and yet Buddha will still be watching," I was struck by a deep sense of peace. Isn't this a solace that transcends time? All the clamor and change, in the face of the thousand-year-old rock face, fade into a mere sigh.
Perhaps the charm of an outstanding cultural interpreter lies precisely in this: without needing to speak for themselves, they can, through the medium of history and art, allow you to sense a wisdom as gentle as the moon and as strong as the sun. They use knowledge as a bridge, connecting us to the vastness of civilization, and imbuing the coldness of stone carvings with the warmth of humanity.
Like the moon and the sun, their courage is clear and impure. The Buddha's light, like the sun and the moon, illuminates and cleanses all worldly filth and troubles. Today, this light comes from both the compassionate smile of Vairocana Buddha and from the remarkable women throughout history who have advanced the progress of civilization with wisdom, courage, and tolerance. Their figures may not have been etched on the stone walls, but their spirits are woven into this eternal watchfulness.
Returning from Longmen, I carry with me not only photographs but also a sense of clarity and peace, standing amidst the currents of time and reflecting on myself.
The Longmen Grottoes, located in Luoyang, Henan Province, cover an area of 31.7 square kilometers and are a cultural landmark. With 2,345 extant Buddhist niches, over 100,000 statues, and more than 2,800 inscribed tablets, they represent the world's largest and most extensive collection of stone carvings. They are of great value for research on humanities and Buddhism.

The stunning natural scenery at Hukou Waterfall Scenic Area in Ji County, Shanxi, left a deep impression and left me with a profound sense of excitement. I experienced the charm and wonder of nature and felt the unending flow and majestic grandeur of the Yellow River, a magnificent land of our motherland. However, improvements are needed to make the area more convenient and visitor-friendly. These are my personal experiences and opinions.
Although it was crowded during the May Day holiday, it was still worth a visit! You can queue up to go down to the Dragon Cave, and the scenery below is also unique. It is worth a visit, but be sure to go early! ! !

Millennium City Park, Kaifeng, located at No. 5 Longting West Road, Kaifeng City, Henan Province, is a large-scale historical and cultural theme park recreated at a 1:1 scale based on the Song Dynasty painting Along the River During the Qingming Festival. It covers over 600 mu (approximately 166 acres), including 180 mu (approximately 166 acres) of water surface and over 30,000 square meters of landscaped buildings.
I went to both of Kaifeng's two major parks. Wansui Mountain is suitable for young people, while Qingming Shanghe Park is more suitable for children and the elderly. The Jin Dynasty generals are more funny and interactive. The amusement facilities in the Royal Park are free to play unlimitedly. The children are very happy and the actors are very dedicated. They really jumped into the water. The only problem is that the parking is not as friendly as Wansui Mountain. Parking fees are charged. It is recommended to park in Parking Lot 2, which is cheaper.

It is worth a visit. Walking from Jinci Park all the way to the museum, the scenery is unique. Walking into Jinci gives you a shocking feeling that is beyond words. The wisdom of the ancients with thousands of years of culture is unobstructed.
As the crown jewel of Shanxi's cultural tourism, the Jin Temple Museum, with its 3,000-year history, world-class architecture, and immersive cultural experiences, has become a must-visit destination for domestic and international tourists seeking a deeper understanding of Chinese civilization. The Jin Temple boasts over 100 buildings from the Song, Jin, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, forming a comprehensive collection of ancient architectural art. Among these, its "Three Treasures" (the Hall of the Holy Mother, the Fish Pond Flying Bridge, and the Hall of Offering) are truly architectural marvels. As "the pinnacle of architectural art, a symphony of nature and humanity, and a hub of cultural heritage," the Jin Temple Museum has become a hallmark of Shanxi's cultural tourism. Whether architecture enthusiasts, historians, families, or photography enthusiasts, everyone can find a unique cultural connection here.

Pingyao Ancient City is quite large. There are electric cars (10 yuan per trip) that go from the parking lot at Xiaoximen to the ancient city. There are many of these cars at the entrances of the city's tourist attractions. You need to buy a pass to visit the attractions in the ancient city.
Compared to all the famous ancient cities in China, Pingyao Ancient City can truly be described as a truly ancient city. It retains the features of an ancient city, with its escort agencies, banks, government offices, City God Temple, and Confucian Temple all well-preserved. The only drawback is the lack of signage leading into the ancient city. I wonder if the scenic area is deliberately trying to encourage electric taxi drivers to take advantage of short journeys, but they're taking detours to justify the distance and charge a ten-yuan fare per person. The scenic area also has plenty of clean restrooms, which I commend for their management.

If you're a fan of ancient architecture, you must visit the Yingxian Wooden Pagoda once. You might miss it if you don't see it again. Although you can see the upper part of the pagoda from outside the wall, you can't see it from all angles. The 50 yuan ticket is a bit expensive, but it's really not easy to repair the wooden pagoda, so I'll take it as a contribution.
The Yingmu Pagoda Scenic Area is truly captivating! Towering ancient trees and the towering shadows of the pagoda make every step feel like a journey through millennia. The scenic area is tranquil, the service attentive, and the staff warm and attentive. Climbing the pagoda and gazing out at the breathtaking views is a truly spiritual and refreshing experience. This place is not only a testament to history, but also a cultural heritage. Highly recommended to anyone who loves travel and history!

The Hanging Temple resembles a celestial palace, nestled between sheer cliffs. Every wooden plank speaks of millennia of craftsmanship. Standing on the plank road overlooking the abyss is both thrilling and awe-inspiring, and the wisdom and courage of the ancients are truly awe-inspiring. The majestic Buddha statues and the distant toll of the bells within the temple create a dialogue with history, a journey through time and space. It's absolutely worth a visit!
1. The Hanging Temple of Hengshan Mountain. The entire temple clings to the cliffs of Hengshan Mountain, supported by only a single pillar. It's incredibly precarious, seemingly ready to collapse at any moment, a truly daunting sight.
2. The Hanging Temple at the foot of Hengshan Mountain is a breathtakingly ingenious structure. This massive temple seems to soar into the air, leaving you in awe of the ingenuity of the craftsmen thousands of years ago.
3. I wonder how the builders of the Hanging Temple managed to transport the stones and wood up the mountain.
4. The Hanging Temple of Hengshan Mountain, the Northern Peak, is truly a rare sight.

A must-see for martial arts fans! Wansuishan Martial Arts City's amazing attractions revealed! 🎉
Hey guys, as a dedicated martial arts fan, I have to tell you all about Wansuishan Martial Arts City's irresistible attractions!
🎪 "Three Strikes on Zhu Family Village": Stepping onto the set of this project is like stepping back into a war-torn Jianghu. The grand set design and the actors' superb martial arts performances make every move powerful. The roar of artillery fire, the neighing of horses, and the shouting of people created a thrilling atmosphere. Sitting in the audience, I couldn't blink, afraid to miss a single exciting moment. It felt like I was on a real battlefield, charging into battle alongside the heroes. It was so exciting! 😍
🎭 Jianghu Street: This place is a microcosm of the martial arts world. The quaint streets are lined with unique shops selling weapon models and martial arts costumes. Walking down the street, you'd often encounter "jianghu heroes" performing their magic tricks, displaying all sorts of extraordinary martial arts skills, like floating on water and shooting cows from across mountains. Even though I knew it was a performance, I was still mesmerized. I couldn't resist buying a martial arts cape myself, and draping it on, I instantly felt like a chivalrous warrior, strutting through the streets with unbridled dignity. 🤩
🎆 Iron Flower: Wansuishan Martial Arts City becomes even more dazzling at night thanks to the iron flower show. When molten iron is thrown high into the air, it instantly bursts into dazzling sparks, like fireworks blooming across the night sky, breathtakingly beautiful. The golden light cast upon me, as if draped in a dreamy veil. Standing among the crowd, I gazed up at this magnificent spectacle, my heart filled with awe and emotion. In that moment, all my worries vanished, and I was absorbed in this beautiful moment. 🥰
After visiting the Iron Tower, I followed the navigation instructions and walked to the Anyuan Gate city wall. From there, I entered Wansui Mountain, which is located right next to the city wall. Wansui Mountain is a large, modern tourist attraction with diverse functions. There's a children's area featuring cartoon characters, a Chinese Paladin area, a Water Margin City, and an intangible cultural heritage area. The performances are diverse and rich in content. I mainly watched the iron flower show, which was quite impressive, showcasing the fusion of modern and agricultural civilization.
Exit the south gate of Wansui Mountain and head to the Bianhe River ferry terminal opposite the Qingming Riverside Park underground parking lot. Scan the QR code to board the round-trip boat. The tour covers the section of the Imperial River during the Northern Song Dynasty, returning near the Bao Zheng Temple. Along the way, there are many man-made attractions and small performances. Because of the rain, the night market at the Bao Zheng Temple was closed, so I returned without getting off the boat.

This is a truly worthwhile destination for those interested in and interested in Buddhist culture, and even for casual visitors, it offers a chance to deeply experience and learn about the vast and profound Buddhist culture of my country. The thousands of Buddha statues at Xiaoxitian Temple are incredibly lifelike and vivid, showcasing the exquisite craftsmanship and architectural artistry of our ancestors. Personally, I feel it's truly unique in the world. It's truly unparalleled and truly magnificent!
The temple is not big, it is on a small hill. You have to go early to park closer. We went there at around 9 o'clock and could only park in a parking lot farther outside and then walk in. You don't have to climb very high. The essence is in the main hall, which is really exquisite. In addition, the rain-dew pears in Xi County are delicious and especially sweet.

I stayed in Linfen and the navigation was wrong. I came to Hukou Waterfall on the Shaanxi side and felt a little dizzy. The scenic area is good overall. The car was parked at the visitor center and the bus was taken to the waterfall. The Shaanxi side is basically parallel to the waterfall and slightly downward.
Hukou Waterfall on the Yellow River is a Chinese wonder worth a once-in-a-lifetime visit. It's recommended to view it from either Shaanxi or Shanxi Province. From the Shaanxi side, traditional buildings are dotted with scattered red flags. Shaanxi offers magnificent views of Hukou, with its cascading rock formations along the shore. Stand by the river and marvel at the cascading, geometric structure of the waterfall.
Ke Zhenliang leaped over Hukou Waterfall on the Yellow River, watched by millions. A sculpture commemorates his impossible feat.
