Busan Duyue Bridge, almost every time I come to Kyoto, I will come to Busan Duyue Bridge for a walk. This time, I will naturally come again. Look at the introduction: The Duyue Bridge is 155 meters long, spanning the Guichuan, which slowly flows through Busan. It is a famous attraction in Kyoto and can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the western hills. The beautiful bridge body shows the beauty of the traditional essence of Japanese aesthetics.

Remember 2019.11 Kansai Late Autumn Festival~ The first monastery in Kyoto. Only by bus can you reach it. After getting off the bus, go all the way up, passing restaurants and small shops along the way. The scenery along the way is also very beautiful, not slow, come to the 3,000 courtyard, very simple doorway. Buy tickets for admission, take off your shoes after entering, and visit along the sign. The 3,000 courtyards are large, and all kinds of trees and red maples are quite spectacular. If you want to go all over the courtyard, all the viewing is in place, it feels like it will take more than half a day. The scenery is so beautiful that I will linger. You can also pray for blessings in the courtyard and buy Yushou. The first trip to choose to come to the 3,000 courtyard is a wonderful start. By the way, it was the peak lunch hour when I came out of the 3,000 courtyard. The restaurants at the door were all full, hungry, and quickly found another way out.

It is one of the most iconic castles in Japan and the only one with green hues to its design (from my recollection of all the castles I have visited in Japan). The park surrounding the is very beautiful and peaceful. This is located in the middle of the busy Osaka city so people and tourists could drop by to chill and enjoy the peace amidst the busy streets. Very minimal changes were noted from my visit in May 2016 and Nov 2019. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to enter the museum on both visits.

Remember 2019.11 Kansai Late Autumn Festival~ Before coming to Kyoto, I was shocked by the beauty of various thousands of birds on the Internet, so once I came to Kyoto, thousands of birds are the first place to punch in. Although there are also bird houses in other shrines before, it is still amazing to see the thousand birds houses of Fushimi Inari so large. It's just that the thousand birds houses are so famous, and there are endless tourists coming to check in. It is really difficult to take beautiful photos without crowds. Although tourists are already very orderly, waiting in line to take pictures one by one, there are inevitably sporadic tourists who do not take pictures, and there are people coming over opposite, so it is impossible to realize those beautiful photos alone on the Internet. Or use the eyes and the heart to record, the beauty will live in the heart, will not fade. Fushimi Inari is very big, can not stay in one place for too much time.

Remember 2019.11 Kansai Late Autumn Festival~33 rooms are Japanese national treasure-level temples. When I went there, the front of the main church was being repaired, so I didn't see the overall magnificent structure of the temple. Tickets are 600 yen. Take off your shoes and store them on the shelf, and then enter the main hall to visit. Photos are not allowed inside. Seeing the Guanyin group statues with your own eyes, I was really shocked. Thousands of hands and thousands of eyes, Guanyin statues are exquisite and meticulous, and the appearance is transmitted. Thousands of group statues have a huge visual impact. They browse and visit all the way, and they are amazing and amazing. It was really unexpected, I didn't expect it to be so amazing. The courtyard outside is much inferior to other monasteries on the mountain, with large forests and red maple. But it is in line with the overall tone of the 33 rooms, simple, sacred, quiet and far-reaching.

Remember 2019.11 Kansai late autumn trip~ Take the bus from the 3,000 courtyard and get off in front of Yaohan Station. Walking to the entrance, the scenery on this road is also beautiful. In addition to the large red maple, there are small bridges and flowing water, small mountain waterfalls, and it is very beautiful to take a shot. A boy held a sign to guide tourists to buy tickets. The ticket will write a few times and a small bag. Go inside again and continue to queue. The popularity of the glass light courtyard is really high, and the queue is constantly. The tickets are also several times the number of 3,000 courtyards, but the place is actually much smaller. When queuing, the staff will also take the initiative to help the tourists who are about to enter take a photo at the door, and the service is still very good. There are two floors in the glazed courtyard, and there is a room that is specially made for everyone to copy scriptures, which is also very sacred. And this outside is the legendary reflection shooting site, it is really black technology, haha, you need to experience it yourself. Although it is much smaller than the 3,000 courtyard, a photo is also very artistic, and it is worth coming. If you have time, you can also visit the gallery next to it.
