It was already more than 2 pm when it arrived. I felt that there were not many people in the scenic area. There was no place to park. The parking lot was too small. I went to find the outside park. The scenery was very good. It was mainly not tired. It was mainly for leisure and entertainment.
The natural scenery is beautiful, full of fragrant, lush, that is, there are more black bugs, and the enthusiasm is directly hit in the eyes of people, and there is no hiding. The ancient Buddhas 1600 years ago and the sleeping Buddhas hidden in the belly of the mountain are also very worth seeing, especially the bats inhabiting the sleeping Buddha cave. My baby said that this trip to the eggs, the biggest point.

Taking advantage of the spring breeze of Shaoxing, visit the Big Buddha Temple scenic spot on the last day of the free ticket. You don't have to go to Dunhuang Grottoes to see the Buddha statues of the same period as Dunhuang Grottoes, so you have the reputation of Dunhuang City. There are also Guinness World Records wood fossils, there is a first Buddha in the south of the Yangtze River in the temple of the millennium ancient temple, and the two release pools of the temple are also quite spectacular.
It is a place worth visiting. I accompanied my father to play together. I took a break and took a look. I stayed in it for at least six or seven hours. My father was nearly 80 years old and I was not tired. I was very happy! The scenic spot is almost all gone. The stone carvings and the sleeping Buddha at the back are very shocking. There is also a Luohan Cave on the edge that is easy to ignore, but it is really worth a visit. The hundreds of Luohans in the cave are all different in color plastic, which is good-looking!
Due to the New Year, it is not easy to park. The traffic police will tell me to park in the ground or underground parking lot of Gushan Park. In fact, it is a parking lot together. Parking the car for a few hundred meters is the gate of the scenic spot! It is true that there is no big ticket. Only 20 yuan in the scenic spot to watch the Big Buddha will be charged. If you don't go to the Big Buddha, you will definitely not charge any fee! It's really a step by step, and there are surprises in every place! It's worth a visit than five A scenic spots! Very user-friendly, good quality and cheap, really a scenic spot that I will never forget after I have been there! I uploaded pictures on my own mobile phone, for your reference only, after all, it is not so good for professionals to shoot!
The overall scenic spot of the Big Buddha Temple is very good to see and walk. The elderly and children can also easily visit the place. It is estimated that it will be 4 or 5 hours during the whole process. Then you can go to Wozhou Road to eat local snacks. There are not many parking spaces in the scenic spot. The parking fee is 20. It is a bit expensive. There are discounts for online purchase of tickets in advance. But it is best to go to play on a sunny day, otherwise the scenery will not be photographed on a cloudy day. It is even more slippery on a rainy day. Several big Buddhas are quite shocking, especially the beautiful in the Panruo Valley.
