Jiuhua Mountain, located in Jiuhua Town, Qingyang County, Chizhou City, Anhui Province, is a national 5A-level tourist attraction and a world geological park. As one of the "Four Famous Buddhist Mountains in China", Jiuhua Mountain is the Dojo of Tibetan Bodhisattva, which ranks alongside Wutai Mountain in Shanxi, Putuo Mountain in Zhejiang and Emei Mountain in Sichuan.
Although Jiuhua Mountain is famous, there are still many scenic spots I haven't been to, so I didn't include them in my travel plan.
Last summer vacation, on my way to Huangshan Mountain, I saw a sign on the expressway that said Jiuhua Mountain is not far away. The name of a service area is Jiuhuashan Service Area.
The so-called plan can't keep up with the change, so it's better to meet than to collide. On the way back from visiting Huangshan Mountain, we turned a corner and turned to Jiuhua Mountain.
Jiuhua Mountain fulfilled us in this way.
Jiuhua Mountain, called Lingyang Mountain in ancient times, faces the Yangtze River in the north, Huangshan Mountain in the south, Taiping Lake in the east and Chiyang in the west. It consists of 99 peaks, among which 9 peaks, such as Tiantai Peak, Lotus Peak, Wang Feng and Tianzhu Peak, are the most spectacular. It looks like nine children, back to back, playing games together, so its original name is Jiuzishan.
The name of Jiuhua Mountain was written after Li Bai's poem "Looking at Jiuhua, Giving Qingyang Wei Zhongkan". Poetry: "Once upon a time, I was on Jiujiang and looked at Jiuhua Mountain. Tianhe hangs green water and nine lotus flowers. I want to wave, who can keep up? As the host, you are lying here in Yun Song. " Jiuzishan was renamed Jiuzishan by later generations because it was written in the poem.
Kecun, located at the foot of Shao Weifeng at the northern foot of Jiuhua Mountain in the southwest of Qingyang County, is the main entrance to the northern part of Jiuhua Mountain, integrating Jiuhua Mountain administrative center, traffic conversion center and tourism logistics reception service base. Here you can transfer to the scenic bus to enter the mountain. It should be noted that if it is self-driving, private cars will be controlled between 8 am and 4 pm, and external vehicles are not allowed to go up the mountain. If you want to go by car, you must arrive at Kecun before 8 am or after 4 pm.
1, day 1:
Departure-Jiuhuashan Tourist Center-Dayuan Cultural Park-Jiuhua Street-Jiuhuashan Peak-Jiuhuashan Core Scenic Area
As we decided to come to Jiuhua Mountain temporarily, we didn't do any strategy beforehand. On the morning of August 20th, we set off from Tangkou Town, Huangshan and returned to Henan, and went to Jiuhua Mountain on the way. The distance from Huangshan Mountain to Jiuhua Mountain is about 130 km, and the driving time is about 2 hours. When we arrived at Beimenke Village of Jiuhuashan Mountain, it was already noon. When driving up the mountain, I was told the traffic control, and all cars should be released into the mountain after 4 pm.
People who want to open farmhouses in many local scenic spots can lead tourists into the mountains, so we searched for farmhouses in Jiuhua Mountain Scenic Area on the Internet. I contacted several people because I was unfamiliar, and one of them came to pick us up. Finally, the farmers in Hakka village took us. We thought it would be convenient to drive up the hill because we came by car. I refused the farmhouse and waited until after 4 o'clock to drive into the mountain.
I had lunch in Kecun at noon. Speaking of Hakka food, it's really not cheap. A bowl of noodles cost me 24 yuan, and the quality is average.
What you lose is what you gain. We arrived early and couldn't climb the mountain. After dinner, we went to Dayuan Cultural Park in the parking lot of the visitor center. May the Great Cultural Park be located not far from the Kecun Transfer Center. The tall Buddha statue can be seen from a distance without introduction. We don't need tickets when we go, but we can visit for free.
In the innermost part of the Great Cultural Park, there is a 99-meter-high open-air bronze statue of the Great Wishing Buddha, with a right hand looking west and a left hand holding a treasure. With Lion Peak as the background, it is extremely solemn and looks quite spectacular! Especially when you walk to the foot of the bronze statue, you can feel the height of the Buddha statue. The circle around the bronze statue is a detailed introduction to the Tibetan bodhisattva.
it is reported (that)
Because it was noon when we went, the scorching sun was burning, and we suffered from the scorching sun and high temperature. Worship Buddha and see some spirits! It is sincere to suffer a little physically!
If it weren't for traffic control, if we went straight to the mountain as soon as we arrived, then nine times out of ten we wouldn't go to this Dayuan Cultural Park. When I came here, I learned something about Tibetan Buddha statues.
From Dayuan Cultural Park, basically, intersection control has just ended. We drove to Jiuhua Mountain. Along the way, the forest is deep and dense, and the mountain road twists and turns. Because there are too many vehicles going up the mountain, stop and go.
14 km (I didn't know until I asked), but it took us more than 2 hours to reach Jiuhua Street at the top of the mountain.
When I first arrived at Jiuhua Street, I suddenly felt very shocked! Jiuhua Street is a small town on the top of the mountain. There is a ring road along the ridge, which is very lively! Especially at night, the lights are brightly lit, and I never thought I was already on the mountain!
The market in the sky-I think it is really appropriate to describe Jiuhua Mountain!
It is good to say that Jiuhua Mountain is the top of the mountain, but it is surrounded by mountains taller than her. As a result, there was a lot of water in Jiuhua Street. You can hear the sound of water as soon as you enter the mountain. There is a big river in Jiuhua Street. Yes, a place without water will not become a famous mountain. As for the ancient temple, it should be made of water.
Jiuhua Mountain is one of the four famous Buddhist mountains. There are many ancient temples and cultural relics here. According to statistics, there are 94 temples in Jiuhua Mountain. Huacheng Temple, located in the center of Jiuhua Street, is the main temple of Jiuhua Mountain with the longest history. This is also the Dojo of the Bodhisattva in the Jiuhua "General Jungle" built in the Tang Dynasty. In addition, there are Shen Yue Temple, Baisui Palace, etc. It is also a must-see temple for worshipping Buddha.
Jiuhua Street is the core of Jiuhua Mountain tourism, where eating, living, entertainment and shopping are very convenient. I just want to complain that the food here is a little too expensive. An ordinary steamed bread 2 yuan, a boiled egg 3 yuan. Everything else is fine, except that the accommodation is not expensive. There are about 100 rooms in various places.
Jiuhuashan tourism is divided into two areas: Qianshan and Houshan. There is a saying that "worship Buddha in the front mountain and see the scenery in the back mountain". The front mountain is dominated by humanistic temple landscape, while the back mountain is dominated by natural scenery. 2065438+April 2009 has just been promoted to the World Geopark, showing its rich natural scenery and tourism resources.
The most famous places in Qian Shan are Jiuhua Street, Baisui Palace and Shenyue Hall. Houshan is famous for its high mountain hanging temples and strange peaks and rocks. The representative landscapes are Tiantai Temple and Dahua Terrace.
It is advisable to visit Jiuhua Mountain for 2 to 3 days. One day before the mountain, one day after the mountain, it is best to stay in the mountain for 2 nights.
Qian Shan is the core scenic spot of Jiuhua Mountain. There are generally three routes to play here:
Article 1: The first line of Jiuhua Street includes Huacheng Temple, Lintan Temple, _ Garden Temple, Gong Min Temple (God of Wealth Temple), Tianchi Temple and Tonghui Temple. It takes about two or three hours.
Article 2: The first line of Baisui Palace includes Baisui Palace, 500 Luohan Hall, natural reclining Buddha and Feilai Guanyin Peak. There is a cable car available here, and the fare starts from 100 yuan, one way to 55 yuan. However, the Centennial Palace is actually not very high. Walking up and down the mountain for 2 hours is basically enough.
Article 3: The front line of the Moon Temple, where the word "moon" is pronounced as "meat", includes Dizang Temple, Moon Temple, Small Tiantai, Shangchan Temple, Jingjie Jingshe, etc. About two hours is enough.
We arrived at Jiuhua Street on the evening of August 20th, stayed in a farmhouse called Huahui Villa, and went to Jiuhua Street to see the night view of Jiuhua Old Street in the evening.
The next day:
Jiuhua Street-Phoenix Pine Station-Cooper Jingtai-Tiantai Temple-Yixiantian-People's Hospital nun
On the morning of August 2 1, we went straight to the back hill.
There is a sightseeing bus in the back hill. Because we went there by car, we went there by car. From Jiuhua Street, about half an hour's drive, we arrived at Fenghuangsong Station, where the rooftop cableway is located.
There is still one step to climb from the parking lot to the entrance of the ropeway. The cableway is about 1.5km long. After leaving ro
In fact, Jiuhua Mountain is not very high. The highest ten Wang Feng is only1342m above sea level. Tiantai Temple (Tibetan Temple) is only 1306 meters above sea level, but it is regarded as the main peak of Jiuhua Mountain because of its existence. There is a folk proverb: "Come to Jiuhua Mountain, come to Tiantai for nothing".
Tiantai Temple, located on the Tiantai Peak of Houshan Mountain, is a must-see for Jiuhua Mountain. It is the best place to watch the panoramic view of Jiuhua Mountain and the sunrise in the sea of clouds.
Fares:
Jiuhuashan ticket season 190 yuan, discount tickets in 95 yuan, rooftop cableway 160 yuan, one-way 85 yuan;
Jiuhua Mountain can be said to be an out-and-out treasure trove of geomantic omen. Surrounded by mountains, it has dense vegetation, beautiful natural scenery and abundant water resources. Otherwise, the Dojo of the Tibetan Bodhisattva would not be located here.
After spending a morning on the rooftop, at noon, we went to Phoenix Pine.
After lunch, I went back to the parking lot of Phoenix Pine through a nun group, then drove back to Jiuhua Street and visited several key temples, such as Shenyue Hall and Baisui Palace. When I went to Hou Yuan Temple, it was closed.
In addition to the rooftop, there is also a flower terrace scenic spot in Houshan. Huatai should be a newly developed natural scenic spot. The scenery here is beautiful, the mountains are steep, and there are many strange pines and rocks similar to Huangshan Mountain. It is said that there is a walking path from the rooftop, but it is far away.
At present, there is only one ropeway connecting Huatai and Xiashangshan Road. Ticket price 160 yuan/person, including round trip. The climbing entrance of Huatai (cable car station) can be reached by turning at a place on the way down the mountain.
The third day:
Huatai-return
Remember, when you go to the flower stand, you must register at the ticket gate before you go out into the mountains. Otherwise, you need to buy a new ticket when you get to the flower stand. That was the last day (August 22nd). We spent half a day on the way back from the mountain and went to Huatai. The scenery here is still good!
In a word, our trip to Jiuhua Mountain was in a hurry, and we didn't do any preparatory work before going. It took a day and a half and two nights to finish the visit. The whole trip was mainly about enjoying the natural scenery, and we visited several temples by the way. Due to the limited time, there are still several key temples to visit. Let's leave some regrets! Generally speaking, the trip to Jiuhuashan opened my eyes. I'm glad you're here.
