Kuaiji Mountain | The 'Incense Offering' Journey Chosen by Modern Youth

| The 'Incense Offering' Journey Chosen by Modern Youth. To the west is the Potala Palace, to the east is the Douluo Celestial Palace. Located at the foot of Kuaiji Mountain in Shaoxing, the Douluo Celestial Palace is said to be the real-life version of the 'Cloud Top Celestial Palace' from 'Journey to the West', replicated on a 1:1 scale, it's spectacular! The Douluo Celestial Scenic Area of Kuaiji Mountain is divided into three realms: the first realm is the Great Fragrance Forest, the second realm is the Longhua Temple, and the third realm is the Douluo Celestial Palace. 📍Location: Douluo Celestial Scenic Area of Kuaiji Mountain 🪷Address: No. 732, Xianglin Avenue, Keqiao District, Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province 🎫Ticket: 100r ⏰Opening Hours: 08:30~17:00 🚗Transportation 🚘Self-driving: Navigate to 'Kuaiji Mountain Douluo Celestial Scenic Area Parking Lot', free parking 🚌Bus: Get off at 'Jianhu Middle School' station 🚇Subway: Take a taxi🚖 from Mingzhu Square Station 🚶🏻‍♀️Recommended Tour Route Longhua Temple Square—Heavenly King Hall—Mahavira Hall—Reclining Buddha Hall—Longhua Pavilion—North Mountain Gate—Fragrant Water Sea—Heavenly Road—Celestial Palace—Mount Sumeru—Seven-Tiered Treasure Reliefs—Buddha Worship Area—Sightseeing Layer—Lotus Dharma Hall ⭐Recommended Check-in Spots 1️⃣Douluo Celestial Palace The distant view is already stunning, with the Celestial Palace standing amidst the sea of clouds. Approaching the entrance of the Celestial Palace, looking up at the lotus on the temple roof, the solemn and spectacular feeling is beyond words. 🪷Inside the Douluo Celestial Palace is the world's largest indoor seated Buddha—the 33-meter-tall Preaching Heavenly Crown Maitreya statue. Only by seeing it with your own eyes can you marvel at the incomparable grandeur of this Buddha statue. The diameter of the purple-gold lotus on top of the Celestial Palace is 56.7 meters, claiming to be the world's largest. Whether outside or inside the Celestial Palace, it's a marvel of divine craftsmanship. Out of respect, I did not take pictures of the Buddha statue inside the hall. The size of the Buddha in the worshiper's heart is as big as their faith. When you come here, be sure to go in and pray sincerely, may all true-hearted people have their wishes come true. 2️⃣Longhua Temple Currently the largest royal-style Buddhist temple in China, built against the mountain, with layers upon layers, carved beams and painted rafters, it's majestic. 3️⃣Great Fragrance Forest Here lies a vast millennium osmanthus forest, spanning several miles, known as 'China's Largest Ancient Osmanthus Group'. ⚠️Little tips 1. Free round-trip sightseeing car rides with a ticket 2. It is recommended to wear comfortable shoes and bring your own water. 3. You can have a vegetarian meal at noon, which is not expensive and has a rich variety.
