Soul Mountain Day Tour
Used in the city of reinforced concrete jungle to live in, for too long can not help but spent physically and mentally. Weekend work suddenly developed a feeling: why not take advantage of a weekend visit to Soul Mountain, forward-looking boundless expanse of blue lake, backed by towering Buddha Buddha, but also the occasion of green spring, water vapor shrouded, Xian Qi curl, as if in Wonderland, who painted mirror, Qi not Yoshiya. So on the invited 35 friends, lightweight stripped-down, with me.
April 17, sunny, blue skies, really a good traveling weather. Wind blowing from the side windows come in, blown people very comfortably warm, imagine a dream lake blue water and Lingshan Buddha, could not help but excited. Hundreds of times, take the outer ring, the Shanghai-Nanjing high-speed, straight Lingshan. Only high-speed road is very plugs, Soul Mountain in the far off than we thought (the high-speed have to follow the same track about 30 km), so to the banks of Lake Tai has been 11:00, and had to eat first. We are five kilometers away from the Lingshan shengjing stopped the car after reading several restaurants and finally chose one called "Smoke wonderful Pavilion," restaurants, facades little decoration is also very common, and vegetables are burning pretty good. We'll have three cold dish, seven hot dishes, especially the famous "lake three white" (Silver Lake Tai Yu Geng, steamed white fish, steamed white shrimp), is really extraordinary, delicious peerless. In particular, that white shrimp, common shrimp boil on the body through the water, a red, and the only white shrimp is white, came, when the quintana transparent, smooth and delicious, fresh incomparable. Boss also gave us a cage to do her own xiaolongbao, said that at the local or small famous. Accounts are finally closed, 170 yuan, I think the price is still quite affordable.
Nanjing boss is a young beautiful, people are very warm and expansive. Her sister on Soul Mountain tourism company, so after dinner she also took the initiative to contact us to help her sister to buy Lingshan team votes (Lingshan shengjing tickets 68 yuan, said the tourist season may have to stop your point, but the team as long as 48 yuan a ticket) Later, she was open his handlebar Lingshan shengjing we have been brought to the big door to help us get a team of 48 yuan ticket (but also pointing us to find a place to park without paying, but also saving 20 yuan ). We are very grateful to her, because we have six light ticket on saving 120.
Lingshan ticket is a postcard, the front design is the Buddha Statue at the scenic area there are mailboxes, write addresses can be returned directly to come, but I think the fine print is not enough.
1:00 p.m., on-time into Lingshan shengjing the first thing that catches your eyes is an old-style archway above the words inscribed with gilt Buddha Six Degrees: Busch, Chi Jie, insults, meditation, refined, Wisdom. Engraved on both sides of the goal post is also a beautiful running hand couplets. Shengjing range of the depth is actually a rectangle, is surrounded by mountains, north of Buddha sitting South (I no sense of direction, I do not know whether the right), backed by a small Lingshan, small Lingshan Master Xuan Zang is said to mention the name of Tang Seng. Scenic area there are a millennium old ginkgo, the Millennium's longevity, still flourish under the trees there are two holes, said that in ancient times there is a black dragon, a white tiger resident cave, after being discovered off the sky, illusion and become something small, mt Qinglongshan on both sides of Pak Fu Shan, but I think this story was strikingly similar to too much, laugh over. The whole scenic area were magnificent and quite everyone reverberates cypress pines, lush. A large group of pigeons flew from the Big Buddha on his waist, a dynamic integration of a quiet, solemn and spiritual, looking, can not help the hearts of a swing.
Buddha 88 meters high, straight into the cloud, the body formed with brass casting, very solemn, the Buddha head Weibi Tsz right hand that day, left that way. Look up Buddha can not help but admire the diligence and wisdom of mankind's great, Buddha is always smiling, facing the shore of Taihu Lake, the world attention the common people, all glitz and vicissitudes of life, glory and dreams, panoramic view, give people the power of a smile. Buddha is said to touch the feet can bring good luck, unfortunately add another 15 yuan fee, the heart of evil. Zicun heart, the Buddha can, touch your feet do not touch the Buddha little meaning, the Buddha would not therefore expect the blame on me.
Buddha at the foot of that Xiangfu Temple, Temple and there is a creek, river, there are three bridges, namely, "Purdue", "great sense",
"Chaun" side of the bridge plate detailing the moral of the bridge, pay attention: You can only select a bridge across the river, I chose the "Purdue", meaning "blessing" was intended. Main hall in front of many visitors burn incense, incense fire, Yu Yan Shou-P Plus pilgrims flock. Large hall is overcrowded and may be positive on holidays, to incense the visitors particularly large hall where hardly pins are not, or pay homage, or mutter prayers. We burned incense at the door, but still enter the halls. Forget, nor Buddha wish, and expect the Buddha Hogan Ru Ju, Xie laymen's difficult to see so many people worship him, and a small number also do not care.
Scenic center of a large circular fountain stone altar, fountain pool stands 20 meters high with a black copper pillars, copper pillars on top is closed with a big bronze lotus throne, surrounded by the following distribution of the Bronze Copper Cylinder dragon, the dragon in the first micro-Yang, facing the lotus throne, it seems that waiting for Buddha appeared, and this is the famous "Kowloon irrigation bath." Two points the whole, the "Kowloon irrigation bath" show began, with the melodious music of Buddha sounded, the top of the lotus throne slowly opened, a bronze statue of Sakyamuni in the slowly rising from a lotus, the following spray pool dozens of eyes on the water with the rhythm of the music is also fluctuated, Huzuohuyou of puffing water, cutting out a pattern of water, sitting in the surrounding nine dragons puffing from his mouth water, and gradually water, big, splash, water vapor filled the air, the metamorphosis of a hazy mood, slowly open the top of the throne, here is 10000 water vapor, white mist and fog, as if the Buddha sit lotus home, pedal clouds, slow slow flying, there are clear blue skies overhead, the foot of the Kowloon Fushiogami magnificent. With the rhythm of music faster and faster, getting stronger sense of rhythm, along with nine dragon suddenly emitted a high 20 meters of the water column, all fired at the statue of Sakyamuni, which is the climax of the whole show, the "Kowloon irrigation Bath "hence the name. I saw the water column as if it were nine white fired nine silver Sakyamuni, sparking bursts of spray, it fell from the sky like Tiannvsanhua, glittering in the sun, spectacular incomparable, the Buddha has long been washed was spotless, overlooking the crowd, smiling. The whole process lasted about 12 minutes, then gradually slow music Shengjian lines, the water column and gradually fell, lotus petals slowly sliding back, and finally come to an end, the performance ended.
Throughout the entire show about two ten minutes, the "Kowloon irrigation bath" about 12 minutes. The performance magnificent, worth a visit. Also Note: This performance of the afternoon twice a day, time, and 16:00, respectively 10:00,11:30,14:00 missed time can see it.
Run Summary:
Route: Shanghai - Shanghai-Nanjing high-speed - Wuxi East (Changshu) exit, and then towards the direction of Taihu Lake Avenue, (with signs) about
That by 30 kilometers, with a total of about 150 km journey around 10000 Town Hall is also the coach directly to the door.
Cost: round-trip tolls 150 (van) + fuel costs eat 170 + 150 + 288 + tickets for snacks, water, fruits, 50 = 808 yuan
808 / 6 = 135 yuan / person, so I find it very suitable for self-service leisure travel.
Recommendation: go to Lingshan must taste "of Taihu Lake three white", fresh and delicious food for thought, we went to the "smoke Miao Corner", I feel very good, prices fair, the boss and wife are very kind-hearted, frank, a lot of acquaintances in the local , both have a way to play or stay. Address I said sure, just remember that Kumho hotel diagonally opposite, a lot of restaurants together and wife surnamed Yao.
Finally, transcriptions of Lingshan a couplet gave you:
Ghost land spirits who Lingling heart can become a Buddha, water, land clearance net net the Pure Land that is on this side.
