This time when I came to Guilin, I tried to stay in three hotels. One was close to Reed Flute Rock, and the other two were built around Xiangshan and the Sun and Moon Twin Towers. This time, I focused on talking about the two hotels in the urban area that have two major attractions. The experience of staying at a hotel with the best views of well-known attractions.

Near the mountains and rivers, we will take you to enjoy the C position of Guilin's urban scenery

When it comes to which hotel in downtown Guilin has excellent accommodation environment and location, the Venus Royal Hotel (Xiangshan Park Store) and Venus Royal Hotel (Xiangshan Park Store No. 2) I chose this time are undoubtedly the two top choices for accommodation. Riyue Twin Towers Cultural Park is located next to the hotel, across the road is Elephant Trunk Mountain Park, and ten minutes away is Zhengyang Pedestrian Street-an old street where you can taste Guilin cuisine. If you are a fashionable young person, The rooftop of the Zhongtai Securities Building near the hotel can also allow you to take Guilin's most popular Japanese and fresh online celebrity photos.

You can also enjoy the various personalized services in the hotel while you are tired.

Venus Royal Hotel (Xiangshan Park Branch)

Venus Royal Hotel (Xiangshan Park Branch) is located on the beautiful bank of the two rivers and four lakes scenic spots, adjacent to Zhengyang Road Pedestrian Street, and just steps away from Elephant Trunk Mountain.

Almost every room in the hotel is equipped with panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows and wide window sills. Each room also has its own unique viewing angle. Some of them face the Twin Towers of the Sun and Moon. You can enjoy the majestic appearance of the Twin Towers standing in the room; Some can see the panoramic view of Xiangshan Mountain, so you can save a ticket for the viewing of Xiangshan Mountain. Guests can appreciate the charm of the entire Xiangshan Scenic Area from God's perspective. Of course, if you come back from outside, you can also soak in it. The hotel's exquisite bathtub relieves the fatigue caused by the journey.

Staying at the Venus Royal Hotel brought me many surprises. First of all, the Supreme View Suite I chose has two wide terraces outside. Each of them can clearly see the Sun and Moon Twin Towers. Although it is shaded by some trees, it does not diminish its majestic spirit. The open vision allows me to have a panoramic view of the beauty of the Lijiang River and the stunning scenery of the two rivers and four lakes.

The design of the room combines European and Chinese styles, which is pleasing to the eye. At the same time, there is also a free automatic massage chair in the room. Various advanced intelligent massage modes can allow people after a hard day to relax easily and happily. The curtains in the room are electric, and the curtains can be opened or closed by remote control or gently pulling the curtains.

Venus Royal Hotel (Xiangshan Park No. 2 Branch)

Venus Royal Hotel (Xiangshan Park No. 2 Store) is located in the two rivers and four lakes scenic area dotted by boats. It is only a few hundred meters away from Venus Royal Hotel (Xiangshan Park Store). A few steps away are Elephant Trunk Mountain, Sun and Moon Twin Towers, Zhengyang Pedestrian Street, and East and West Alley. Due to the slight differences in geographical locations, the hotel basically enjoys the beauty of Xiangshan from another angle. Compared with the first store, the second store is surrounded by various lush trees, making it more tranquil.

In fact, the second store has not been open for a long time. It only officially started operating in 2019. Some high-end room types in the hotel have not yet been publicly sold to the public. Therefore, I chose the relatively affordable mountain view queen room for my stay. Although it is affordable, the supporting facilities in the room all reveal a high-end atmosphere, whether it is a washstand that can be lit up, a very comfortable bathrobe to wear, or a panoramic floor-to-ceiling window that can see the mountain view and the Elephant Mountain. The planning in the room is very warm. If you are on a business trip, there are tables and chairs in the room for special work. You can also order a cup of coffee in your spare time, sit quietly on the sofa at the side, read the newspapers brought from the lobby, and enjoy the small world that belongs to you!

"Zen tea blindly" tea culture and Zen culture indissoluble bond

The style of tea drinking in the Tang Dynasty first began in the homes of monks. The allusions to "tea meditation" originated from a famous verse by a monk in Zhaozhou-"Eat tea and go." Yuanwu Keqin, an eminent monk in the Song Dynasty, tasted the infinite mysteries of tea with Zen concepts and thinking. He wrote "Tea Zen Wisdom" with a single brush. The authentic work was brought to Japan by his disciples and is now being collected in Daoji Temple in Nara, Japan, as a treasure of the town.

Tea Zen and I

Once upon a time, I yearned for tea Zen culture. I also set up a tea set in my rented house next to the school. Occasionally, when no one was around, I would make some tea leaves and taste them carefully. Although it seemed that I was very proficient in tea culture, only I knew that I had not yet learned about tea Zen.

At Shangxi Jianshanshe B & B in Guilin, I was officially exposed to Zen tea culture for the first time. Listening to the tea artist explain the etiquette of tasting tea, I realized the profoundness and profoundness of tea Zen culture. Today, the prosperity of tea and drinking industry has gone through the practice and dedication of countless ancestors!

Tea Zen etiquette

① Appearance and appearance: When making tea, women should roll up their long hair to prevent it from falling into the tea soup. The makeup should be mainly elegant and should not be heavy.

② Tea making posture: When making tea or drinking tea, your buttocks should sit one-third of the stool, your body should be straight, relax the muscles of your body during the tea making process, and don't appear too restrained because of tension. When you are in your mood and body relax, the action of making tea will appear beautiful.

When making tea, the spout of the teapot, the spout of the Gongdao Cup, and the spout of the casually brewed pot cannot be faced at the guests. They are generally placed horizontally.

③ Serving tea and adding tea: When serving tea, the front side of the cup should be facing the guests. When serving tea, the cup with a handle should be placed on the right hand side of the guests. If there are many guests, pay attention to the order of serving tea: Serve tea first for the guests, then for the host; Serve tea first for the main guest, then for the secondary guest; Serve tea first for the lady, then for the man; Serve tea first for the elders, and then for the younger generation.

At the same time, when serving tea, it should not be too high or too low, not too far or too close. When serving tea, the hand should be flat and steady to ensure that the guest's posture when holding the tea is comfortable. After the guest has drunk a few sips, it should be replenished in time and the cup should not be allowed to bottom out, which means "there is no end to the tea, drink slowly, and talk slowly". At the same time, you should also be careful not to fill it with water, as the cup will easily get hot.

④ Taste tea together: Tea makers also need to taste the taste of each tea soup. If the tea soup is light or thick, the brewing time and water temperature can be appropriately changed to brew the best quality tea soup.

Tea Zen etiquette is very particular, combining tea culture with "Zen na". Tea culture and Zen culture also have something in common. This common point lies in the pursuit of improvement of spiritual realm. The so-called cleansing of the soul is hard to finish, and the world is turbid. I can clear it.

Tea Zen culture is not metaphysics or philosophy. It is a kind of spiritual wisdom that allows people to experience the various aspects of life and still not forget their original aspirations when looking back on the past. The connotation driven by cultivation of the mind has penetrated into all aspects of social life and deeply influenced people's thinking methods and behavioral norms.

The indissoluble bond between tea culture and Zen culture

One tea and one Zen, two cultures, have similarities and differences, but are not different; one thing is one heart, two methods, one thing is one, and two methods are different, but not inseparable. Tea and Zen are originally rooted in the same origin, causing each other and complementing each other.

Introduction to Tea Culture

The connotation of tea culture is actually a concrete expression of the connotation of Chinese culture. The spiritual connotation of tea culture is formed through the combination of habits such as making tea, appreciating tea, smelling tea, drinking tea, tasting tea and other habits with Chinese cultural connotations and etiquette. A cultural phenomenon with distinctive Chinese cultural characteristics, and can also be said to be a etiquette phenomenon. Tea culture is a representative traditional culture in China. China is not only one of the origins of tea. There are still rich and diverse tea-drinking habits and customs among different ethnic groups and regions in China.

Introduction to Zen Culture

Zen culture is an important and distinctive culture in Chinese Buddhism and is closely integrated with traditional Chinese culture. Zen culture is like a source of living water. It once brought vitality to Chinese culture and had a profound impact on Chinese literati painting, landscape poetry, spiritual literature and even Neo-Confucianism in the Song and Ming Dynasties. It brought Chinese culture in history into a new artistic conception that focuses on nature, harmony, spirituality, and vivid spirit.

Zen Tea culture

"Integrity, clarity, harmony, and elegance" are the spirit of Zen tea culture. The "righteousness" of Zen tea means the eightfold path,"clarity" means the purification of the mind,"harmony" means the harmony and respect, and "elegance" means the refinement. Zen tea culture is inseparable from humanistic care, life's daily use, Zen care and understanding, and tea's refinement, lightness, purity, purification, and cultivation.

When tea culture and Zen culture meet, the spirit of Zen tea culture "righteousness, clarity, harmony, and elegance" collide with the function of Zen tea culture "gratitude, tolerance, sharing, and affinity", integrating righteousness into gratitude, integrating Qing Qi into tolerance, integrating harmony into sharing, integrating elegance into affinity, and promoting the spirit of Zen tea culture and implementing Zen tea culture, giving full play to the subtle role of Zen tea culture in uniting people's hearts, resolving conflicts, optimizing one's own qualities, and harmonizing other relationships. This is the fundamental social value of promoting Zen tea culture.

The influence of tea Zen culture on modern society

Tea Zen culture drives regional economic development

Tea Zen culture promotes the diversified development of tea production with the power of spiritual culture, closely integrating spiritual civilization with organic ecological agriculture, and plays a key role in rural economic development.

Tea Zen culture strengthens the construction of regional ecological culture

Tea Zen culture, with its unique spiritual connotation of harmony, symbiosis, harmony and unity between man and nature, reminds us that while building economy, we must also pay attention to the construction of ecological culture, explore our inner peace, and guide us to reduce conflicts and conflicts with nature. confrontation.

Tea Zen culture helps build a more comprehensive spiritual and cultural system

Tea Zen culture uses spiritual connotations such as "healthy health","correcting the source", and "lenient oneself and others" as carriers to guide people to carry out positive social activities, which is conducive to purifying social atmosphere, promoting traditional culture, and improving the overall quality of society.

I stayed in the tea room of Shangxi·Jianshanshe for a long time. As a B & B with the theme of tea Zen culture, the tea artist who helped us understand tea Zen culture was particularly professional and very unique in terms of environment. In the spacious courtyard, green smoke curled, and a black pine tree stood on one side of the courtyard, standing in the wind... In such a quiet environment, close your eyes and listen to the melodious sound of the guzheng in your ears. The aroma of tea is integrated into the cup, and the fragrance is pleasant. What in the world can sublimate a person's soul better than this?

Where is Guilin worth visiting

elephant trunk Hill

Xiangbi Mountain is located at the confluence of the Taohua River and the Li River in Guilin City, Guangxi Province. It is named because it resembles a giant elephant standing on the river and stretching its nose and drinking the sweet spring of the Li River. It has become a famous tourist attraction as early as the Tang and Song Dynasties. It has a history of more than 1000 years. It is called one of the symbols of Guilin's mountains and rivers.

Xiangshan is famous for its magic. Its magic is, first of all, that it resembles the shape and spirit, and secondly, it creates a bright moon near the water between the nose and legs, forming the "Xiangshan Mountain and Water Moon" miracle. Therefore, Elephant Trunk Mountain is Guilin's city emblem mountain and a symbol mountain for Guilin's tourism. Between the elephant trunk and elephant legs is a round hole with an area of about 150 square meters. The river water passes through the hole, like a bright moon floating on water. The Xiangshan Water Moon located on the west bank is opposite to the moon-crossing Rock on the east bank of the Li River. One hangs in the sky and the other floats in the water, forming a unique landscape of "Double Moons on the Li River".

Riyue Twin Towers

The Twin Towers of the Sun and Moon are known as the world's largest copper tower. They integrate the three cultures of "Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism." There are the largest bronze statue of Sakyamuni in Guilin City, the bronze statue of Medicine Master Buddha, the bronze statue of Confucius, and the bronze statue of Lao Tzu. They are a night viewing destination for Guilin tourism.

The entire copper tower has set three tallest in the world-the world, the world's tallest copper building, and the world's tallest underwater tower.

The Moon Tower is 35 meters high and has seven floors. It is a glazed tower. The carved and painted doors and windows on each floor imply different themes and are rich in traditional Chinese charm. They are connected to the Sun Tower through an 18-meter-long underwater aquarium. In its underground palace, there are large murals of Guilin's Ming Dynasty blue and white plum vases.

Fanglianchi

Speaking of Guilin, people always have a picture of quiet and peaceful mountains and rivers in their minds."Guilin's mountains and rivers are the best in the world" is not just a statement. Every grass, tree, flower and scenery in Guilin contain the flavor of "paradise outside the world". How many literati and poets have bowed down for Guilin's mountains and rivers since ancient times? The beautiful mountains and clear waters are a true portrayal of Guilin, and there is such a resort in Xiufeng District of Guilin, which is very suitable for people to take a vacation, because it not only has charming mountains and rivers, but also is far away from the hustle and bustle of the downtown area. Looking up, you can see the lush Fanglian Ridge, and the crystal clear Fanglian Pond and the endless countryside...

Fanglian Pool

Next to the Reed Flute Rock and beside the Fanglian Pool, this resort has a very advantageous geographical location. It is close to the most beautiful cave in Guilin-the Reed Flute Rock. The Reed Flute Rock, together with the Taohua River, Fanglian Pond and other water features, and Hou Mountain, form a beautiful landscape, landscape and pastoral scenery.

About Fanglianchi

Fanglian Pond is at the foot of Fanglian Ridge and Guangming Mountain. It is square and has a water surface area of 1.8 hectares. "Jiaqing Rebuilding and Unification Annals" records: "Guangming Mountain is steep and steep, and there is a clear hole. Its water storage is Yujiazhuang Canal, irrigating hundreds of hectares of farmland." In 1964, it was excavated into an artificial lake. The spring water flows long and the lake water is clear and blue, and it never dries up at all times. In the northeast of Fanglian Pond, Fanglian Water Pavilion and Lianting Pedestrian Level were built in 1977; Fengshou Pavilion was built in the southwest, connected by a curved bridge. The towers, pavilions and pavilions, the clear water is like a mirror, making tourists full of elegance and interest.

On the occasion of the scorching summer, we can sit by the Fanglian Pool and feel the coolness brought to us by the breeze by the pool; we can walk on the ancient bridge above the Fanglian Pool and accept the baptism of the distant history and culture of Fanglian Pool and the resort resort; Or take a small boat and float on the Fanglian Pool to appreciate Guilin's remotest landscape feelings.

People's artists in the resort

While admiring the elegant mountains and rivers of Fanglianchi, how can we not be embellished with humanistic history? The famous people's artist Yang Taiyang was born on the soil of this resort. The resort still retains the former residence of Yang Taiyang's seniors.

About Yang Taiyang

Yang Taiyang (December 6, 1909-August 25, 2009), male, native of Guilin, Guangxi, also known as Yangxuewu; his late name was Ludi Mountain Weng, and he was known as a painting boy after the age of 80. He is good at Chinese and Western painting, calligraphy and poetry. He is an artist and art educator with comprehensive artistic achievements. At the same time, his predecessor Yang Taiyang is also a pioneer, standard-bearer and leading figure of the "Lijiang Painting School".

Senior Yang Taiyang loved the motherland, the people, the art education cause, and made outstanding contributions to China's art cause; after 2000, his works were selected into the Centenary Chinese Painting Exhibition, the 20th Century Chinese Oil Painting Exhibition, the 20th Century Chinese Watercolor Exhibition, etc. Important exhibitions; Published more than ten monographs and painting collections, including "Complete Works of Yangyang Taiyang Painting","Rongbaozhai Painting Manual·Yangtai Yangshan Water Part","Famous Modern and Modern Chinese Masters-Yangyang","Yangyang Art Collection","Yangyang Art World","Yangyang Painting Collection","Yangyang Watercolor Painting Collection","Yangyang Sun Biography-Master of Art Who Surpasses the Times".

Yang Taiyang's former residence

The former residence of Senior Yang Taiyang consists of the statue of Sun Taiyang, Sun Taiyang Square and the former residence of Senior Yang Taiyang. In June 2014, in order to preserve the historical materials of famous artists and integrate the development of "culture and tourism", the Xiufeng District Government invested 1.5 million yuan in The original site of the former residence of Senior Yang Taiyang was rebuilt, which also created the appearance of the former residence of Senior Yang Taiyang we see today.

Sun, Sun and Guilin Mountains and Waters

The Li River landscape paintings of his predecessor Yang Taiyang are directly related to the regional environment in which he lived. Guilin's landscape is the best in the world. There are not only green mountains with dangerous peaks, rippling rivers, swaying lush forests, but also "caves","stone beauty", bamboo rafts and small boats, etc. Born and raised in the sun, he has been observing and sketching for decades, looking for the most suitable expression object for the pen and ink, revealing the meaning to express his feelings.

The Lijiang landscape paintings of senior Yang Taiyang integrate life with regional culture, derive a deep aesthetic taste, and combine subconscious imagination with a dull and tranquil state of mind. In this way, people not only peep into the characteristics of the regional scenery in his paintings, but also have the profound artistic conception hidden outside the paintings. He integrated the natural scenery and cultural landscape of the Li River, formed a unique style of landscape painting, and created the "Li River Painting School", which undoubtedly has certain practical guiding significance for contemporary Chinese painting.

concluding remarks

There are really not many scenic spots that combine natural scenery with cultural scenery so closely. The ones that impressed me the most were Meilu Villa and Lushan Mountain. Now, the mountains and rivers of Yangguilin have brought me no more shock than the Meilu Villa I saw in the clouds and clouds. The "Lijiang Painting School" of Senior Yang Taiyang wrote about biochemistry and life. I stood in front of Senior Yang Taiyang's former residence, looking at the mountains and rivers of Fanglian Pond that were within reach. I truly felt the humanistic atmosphere in the natural scenery, and the humanistic relics revealed a little freshness of nature.

It is Guilin's mountains and rivers that have created Yang Taiyang's incisive interpretation of the mountains and rivers, and the works of Yang Taiyang's predecessors that have deeply rooted in the hearts of people have also deepened our yearning for Guilin's landscape culture. Obsessed, like me...
