The seven-day National Day holiday has passed, and a working dog like me has to devote myself to the busy work after the National Day and make up for all the things left over before the holiday. It coincides with the rapid cooling in Changsha in recent days, the sky is gloomy, and everything has become chilly. It is really tiring. Fortunately, I had already planned to take a two-day weekend to go to Ningxiang for a good vacation and soak in the warm hot spring to reward myself.

Day 1: Miyin Temple-Weishan Hot Spring Resort

Hunan Miyin Temple is located on the mountainside of Weishan Mountain and under Pilu Peak in Ningxiang City, Hunan Province. It is the origin of Weiyang Sect, one of the five major Buddhist sects of Southern Zen in China. Over the past 1,000 years since its establishment, Miyin Temple has gone through dynasties, been repeatedly attacked by war, and has been rebuilt many times. The existing buildings include gate, main hall, police hall, Buddha selection ground, meditation hall, ancestral hall, etc., covering an area of more than 9000 square meters.

After arriving at Miyin Temple, as soon as I got off the car, I saw a huge statue of a thousand-handed Guanyin standing on the top of the mountain. It was majestic and magnificent, with the golden and dazzling people underneath it, like Guanyin riding on a lotus and riding on the clouds.

Walking into the gate of the temple, you will find the Ten Thousand Buddha Hall, the most famous building in Miyin Temple. The Ten Thousand Buddha Hall is nine feet high, with double eaves resting on the top of the mountain. There are thirty-eight pillars inside and outside, all of which are white, granite, and topped with gold glazed tiles. The Buddha statue looked solemn and the hall was shining with gold.

The main buildings of Miyin Temple are all covered with light yellow walls and black tiles. The deeper you go, the more you have the illusion of pavilions and watertowns in the south of the Yangtze River.

In the temple, there is a black stone fifty feet high and twenty feet around. There are two holes in it. According to legend, it is the place where Pei Xiu's wife, Mrs. Chen, a monk in Zhai, produced oil and salt. It is called the oil-salt stone.

Walking on the thick stone road, you feel the tranquility of a thousand-year-old temple. Miyin Temple is like an ancient thread-bound book, with pages displayed in front of us, as if touching the depth of history and feeling the long-lost peace away from the busy city.

Weishan Hot Spring Villa is located between the high mountains and mountains. It is surrounded by lush forests and bamboo trees, birds singing and fragrant flowers, and the environment is quiet. It is a natural oxygen bar and a paradise. In the villa, you can admire the towering ancient trees and the beautiful waters of Lingshan Mountains; you can hear the gurgling streams, the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers; you can realize the Buddhist meaning of Zen and cleanse your mind; you can taste Weishan tribute tea with Tianjia flavor. Stay away from the hustle and bustle and get close to nature here.

Weishan Hot Spring Villa has hot springs in winter and ice springs in summer. There are 6 hot spring pools, including 2 indoor hot springs and 4 outdoor hot springs. They include ginger hot spring bath, rose bath, angelica bath, green tea bath, and Miao medicine bath. In addition to the effect of cleansing the skin, soaking in hot springs also contains strong health and health protection power.

Danggui Spring is a very popular hot spring for traditional Chinese medicine. When the human body is immersed in Angelica Spring, the heat of the hot spring water causes the pores of the skin to quickly open, and excess water and toxins in the body are expelled. At the same time, the medicinal effect of Angelica Spring penetrates from the outside to the inside, giving full play to the effects of strengthening the body, activating blood and replenishing blood, regulating menstruation and relieving pain.

The wormwood bath is fragrant and warm, which has the effect of warming the meridians through blood and dispelling the cold and warmth in the middle. The integration of Artemisia argyi and hot spring water has certain curative effects on treating cold pain in the heart, diarrhea and tendons, irregular menstruation, and dysmenorrhea.

Milk baths are very popular among girls. Milk is rich in nutrients and contains more vitamin B. It moisturizes the skin, protects the epidermis, prevents cracks and wrinkles, and makes the skin smooth, soft and white. The whey in milk can eliminate facial wrinkles.

The hotel has a total of 200 luxurious rooms, which are spacious and comfortable, tastefully decorated, and comfortable furniture layout, creating a noble and meticulous resting atmosphere, allowing people to feel a sense of romance away from the noise. There is also a special sunrise room. You can sit on the balcony of the hotel's sunrise room, taste a pot of good Weishan Maojian, and look in the direction where the red sun is slowly rising.

If you are hungry at night, you can eat at the hotel. Chinese food is mainly Hunan cuisine, which can accommodate 1000 people at the same time. The hotel also carefully prepares authentic Weishan local dishes, and you can also taste Weishan Maojian tea, Ningxiang-flavored snake, Ningxiang-flower pork and other special delicacies.

The hotel also has a dedicated gym with professional fitness facilities. Tourists can exercise here, exercise their muscles, sweat, and exercise their bodies stiff due to work.
