To Fuzhou, coincides with Gold Leaf Guest House is an ex-gratia room bargain Celebrates National Day activities, the original four or five hundred yuan a room discount for the 200. We like to live and find the gems like a happy go, and later proved in all of our trip, this time live on the best and cheaper.
To speak frankly, although the Fujian provincial capital Fuzhou city, is a great city, but no fun, including Gushan. To Fuzhou next morning we left for Gushan has. Gushan the car is not hard to find, as long as you take a bus to the South Gate (apparently called on the Hill Station), where there is a lot of green car to Gushan (tickets 5 yuan), but also there is a group of a few minutes, it is convenient, no need to waste money to fight for.
To Gushan Scenic Area, you can choose to get off the gate in the mountains or to the hillside off the parking lot, we are in the parking lot to get off because there almost from the major attractions without having to go to the bottom from the mountains (but not under a mountain cableway can be Up Dharma King 18). In the Gushan tourist spots, the number of Yongquan Temple, the most famous, and we first go is the Yongquan Temple, the (tickets 6 yuan), the monastery on in the parking lot up not far from a large scale, to the Yongquan Temple, the time was pay more attention to small things, because, as Yongquan Temple, "Sambo" (Tao towers, engraving, blood upon), one of the ceramic tower on Temple's main entrance, if attention is paid to simply do not know the door on both sides of the two tower is there anything special, but rather because it than any other place pagoda small and dismissive; the fact is that they are using ceramic rather than iron or something else made of, but to build such a large ceramic tower, Without a certain level of technology is impossible.
To the Temple would like to see several other pieces of treasures so hard; while the "three iron," said Tieshu because they can not blossom and appears normal; Main Hall of the wire wooden altar, said to be in a fire Eventually, into the water does not rot, then the case of Yin tide, but because of too much an outsider, looking Laoban Tian Wen is also not a Zichou Yin-Mao years; till Buddhist vegetarian cooking in a large wok, as seen more than it, and also "surprising" the.
Out of Yongquan Temple, walk a short distance back is toward the direction of King Dharma 18, but low on several rock carved in the so-called LITHOGLYPHS the words are written can be other than as holes or Bodhidharma What sort of rock is not like the book said it better. As for the Baegundong there, because we all feel worth a go, so no-go, the whole Gushan, I think the biggest drawback is not the attraction but the tourist facilities, like the signposts on the lack of clarity, too old, and often is standing with their signs before the body where they are confused, let alone even want to know how the road to where to go.
With regret, had already returned to Fuzhou, noon, check-out as usual after the non-stop near the North Station rushed to the hotel by car to Putian, Fuzhou, Putian have the highway, fast and comfortable ride through train, the fare is 30 yuan, almost half an hour there is a group.
Putian is quick to 2:00 pm, and we casually in the vicinity of the station to eat something as soon as they turn on the text of a bus bound for the Pakistan vehicle (ticket 10 yuan), these cars to go on terminal Mae State Pier parking lot. (In the old station there are a lot of Putian A car bound for the text, from Putian to go to the text of A is almost more than an hour.)
Owing to time constraints, we'll take the transition airship (airship apart faster than other point is the frequency of many, but a bit on the expensive, ordinary transition of only 8 yuan, while the airship Zexu 14 yuan ticket to enter the Meizhou Island, in the transition collected at the same time, to 10 yuan), from the pier to the Meizhou Island, almost took only 78 minutes to go.
On the island, if not in a hurry, they can definitely go by car, because from the pier to the temple is less than 500 meters; if the car does, the terminal outside a state nature of electric vehicles, 2 yuan per person, due to competition, take a private van was only 1 yuan, you need not waste the yuan.
Meizhou Island is the home of Matsu, but also the birthplace of Mazu culture. Matsu is the Sung, who had been known for rescue fishermen and merchant, died and was regarded as a goddess of the sea, was Chifeng as "Tianfei", "Tin Hau", "Heaven" and other appellation, in the coastal areas, especially the Taiwan region, religion worship Mazu culture, many people, but also built a lot of Tin Hau Temple, Mazu Pavilion, Macao origin of the name is said to arise from it euphony Matsu!
In Meizhou Island, the most exciting time of year on a number of lunar March 23 and September ninth day of Matsu's birthday of Matsu, "going to heaven" day of death, perhaps always destined to meet, let the day happens to be Chinese Double Ninth of September, may come late, and did not see the crush of big scenes, but Montreal's fireworks paper point of view, imagine there must be quite a busy morning. Even so, but we still lucky to see here the famous Liyuan Opera, although did not understand, but also feel that similar to other forms of opera around the country, but also regarded as a trifle generous insight!
From the gate to go up until the Matsu pilgrimage park has an area are considered here in Southern Fujian style, with a concentration of buildings and stone art, stone carving art of the representatives say, is only a short walk up to come to Matsu Park (tickets 5 yuan) Matsu statue, stone oak high 14.35 meters, we saw his wearing a phoenix coronet, dressed in robes, Wai Pi cloak, holding Ruyi, head injection into the distance, looked solemn, generous, very heartfelt tribute. Like the stone, you can savor the art of its cohesion weight, meaning that if there is boundless, it first raised the camera, the time Ning Zhu, will take home and other sites after the Zaiqu slowly taste.
In Meizhou Island, in addition to Temple and Matsu park, there are beautiful golden sandy beaches, we shall make an impromptu tour, the result had to hurry, for in his home could see the beach will not be considered, so it was hastily farewell Meizhou Island, Putian Cheng Chewang back to the next stop: Quanzhou.
