Traveling has been a part of life for many years, ranging from once a year to twice a year. In the past two years, there has been another 'Buddha Worship' ceremony. It's hard to say whether to go on a trip to pay respects to Buddha or to travel under the banner of paying respects to Buddha. In any case, it's just an extra trip. This year is the third time we have worshipped Buddha. The following link is the record of the first two times. Those interested can refer to it.

Every day, I plan my routes, calculate my money, tug at time, and tug at my plane tickets.

The first dinner in Ningbo was beef noodle soup with noodles. The noodles were wrapped in tofu and pork, and whether they tasted good or not was subjective.

I planned to take the bus to Zhoushan early the next day, but I woke up late. Using the excuse of waking up late, take out your already prepared driver's license and rent a car for self driving without delaying your journey. Ningbo limits two bridges, as long as you don't get on the bridge, you can walk freely. Departing from the parking lot at 10:30, I took the wrong path and almost got on the bridge, with no danger. Turning around and buying some cold medicine, it's almost time to leave the city. It's already almost two o'clock at Zhujiajian.

Entering the mountain gate, I chose to walk clockwise this time. The two of them chatted while walking, and of course, the content had to be appropriate, "Buddhist stories". Remember some and forget some, just make do with listening anyway! Don't take me too seriously when talking to you~

November in Putuo, whether it's autumn or winter, is filled with withered leaves in the pond. I have been here for three years. In March, there is a pool of water, in May, there are leaves, and in November, there is only a pool of residual lotus flowers. Next time I come, I must see the lotus flowers in full bloom.

This is a pool of water from three years ago.

Three years ago, when I first arrived, I was lost in thought on the rocks and saw the contented figure of the 'sugar triangle'.

The following year, 'playing off-road more' left behind a heroic silhouette embracing the sea.

In three years, the two of us will change our bold style and draw a small heart!


After an afternoon of rampage, I walked out of the mountain gate and crossed the sea. There were not many cars in the parking lot anymore. Although it's dark at night, seafood is still not to be missed. The navigation has been set up on the ship, and we will get on the car and head straight to the Zhujiajian Seafood Restaurant.

The next morning, I woke up on time and hurriedly returned the car without even having breakfast. Return the car, store your luggage, and start a one-day trip to Ningbo. The first stop is "Tianyi Pavilion".


Tianyi Pavilion is a private library from the Ming and Qing dynasties, owned by Fan Qin. During his lifetime, Fan Qin divided his family property into two parts: a collection of books and gold and silver. The eldest son Fan Dachong gave up the inheritance of the gold and silver family property and inherited his father's collection of more than 70000 volumes of books, which also formed the ancestral motto of Tianyi Pavilion: "Books cannot be divided by generations, and books cannot be released from the pavilion. So many books need to be moved in, out, repaired, and dried every year to prevent theft, theft, fire, and insects. Not a book lover can't do this job~

I searched for delicious food in Tianyi Pavilion and found a famous restaurant that closed at 1:30 pm. Step up your pace and find a place to tidy up. Most of them are locals. I ordered three special dishes, Xiao Hao took one. (Follow up on paying for luxury meals)

Enjoy a delicious lunch and continue to explore Moon Lake. Yuehu is a very beautiful street park, located in the bustling city with winding paths. Strolling freely, there are islands connected by bridges in the lake, children playing under the willows, elderly people playing chess, and several old houses dotted among them.

Walking leisurely in the garden, Xinmei gradually felt dizzy and disoriented, thinking that her glasses had a problem. She would break them at times and then again. I also experience symptoms of road ghosting, dizziness, and nausea. The two of them sat down in a pavilion and closed their eyes to take care of themselves. After analyzing, it seems that there was a problem with the seafood they had just eaten, which caused food poisoning. Wow! I bought a bit too big this time, but luckily I had an hour to heal myself afterwards.

Lu's mansion is decorated by the lake under the shade of trees, it's really good feng shui!

Ningbo takes the high-speed railway to Zhenjiang, which is mainly headed towards Xijin Ferry. Xijin Ferry has been a battleground for military strategists since the Three Kingdoms period. This was also the garrison of Sun Quan's Eastern Wu Navy, and the Three Kingdoms can be seen everywhere in Zhenjiang.

The Buddhist culture of Xijin Ferry is also very ancient. The pedestrian crossing tower "Shaoguan Stone Pagoda" is a building from the Yuan Dynasty, and there is also Guanyin Cave and so on.

Zhenjiang pot lid noodles, a small pot lid is cooking in a big pot. It is said that there is a little story related to Qianlong when cooking noodles in this way, whether it is true or false. Anyway, nowadays, every local snack that has a bit of fame has to show some respect to the emperor's private visits!

There are various snacks at the ferry crossing that look tempting, but their taste is average. They all claim to be handmade by themselves, probably sold in the market to gain popularity.

The tourist attractions in Zhenjiang are relatively concentrated, and it is particularly convenient to ride a small car. After crossing Xijin Ferry, you can ride at Jinshan Temple. Cycling navigation to Jinshan Park, the park scenery is very good. In fact, there is a road in the park that leads to Jinshan Temple, but it is blocked by a fence and cannot be entered. So, let's face it across the lake!

The reason why Jinshan Temple is famous is because Bai Niangzi fought against the sea of magic! Fahai, if you don't understand love, the Leifeng Pagoda will fall. It's better to demolish ten temples than to ruin a wedding. Don't you understand Fahai? How can a thousand years of searching for love make you. When I was watching TV, I watched Bai Niangzi's long sleeves swaying and the flood rushing in endlessly. It turned out to be the water of the Yangtze River~Fahai, don't you think there could be an end to it~

Walking by Xinmei in the park, she helped me popularize the meanings of modern popular words and some ancient knowledge. It's a pleasure to walk with you.

Beautiful scenery also requires a beautiful partner, but my appearance is always inferior to that of Xinmei. After repeated comparisons, I found that it's not because my appearance is not enough, but because my skills are too good. Am I supposed to be proud?

Is this one better~

The high-speed railway from Zhenjiang to Yangzhou. It is said that under the fireworks and moon in Yangzhou, we have always pursued a minimalist style. Although spring is full of flowers, autumn can also be colorful and vibrant. In the off-season, Yangzhou has a light journey. Let's start~

Before coming to Yangzhou, I always wanted to wash my feet well and take a good stroll around Shouxi Lake and my garden. But unexpectedly, the taste buds were the first to strike us. Crispy knife fish, lion's head, boiled shredded pork, wine dumplings, and sweet osmanthus wine are all beautiful~

Wait for an hour, serve the food and eat for half an hour. If it weren't for the alcohol, it would probably take ten minutes to finish. Isn't the combat effectiveness very strong~

The soy sauce dishes are good and the prices are reasonable.

After a satisfying meal, take a walk by the canal, and Yangzhou's leisure begins here.

Stretching lazily to get up and have morning tea~Fuchun Tea House is an old brand.

I don't know what to eat when I enter the store, but the store is very thoughtful in preparing set meals for out of town tourists. Northerners are wealthy and have a big stomach. Add two cups of Kuilong tea to the two most expensive ones.

Tea and food are plentiful, and we slowly explore Yangzhou.

Walking and shopping, from tea leaves to clothes. When it came to actual sightseeing, I couldn't walk anymore. Coincidentally, an old man rode an electric tricycle to attract customers, and Zhu Ziqing's former residence was the first stop on the old man's route. Actually, it can be called one person three rounds, yellow vest, which is a formal service provided by the government, but ours is also good. Uncle is also familiar with Zhu Ziqing's essays such as "Back View" and "Moonlight in the Lotus Pond", as well as his life. It's estimated that the government's speech has been pirated, but it's still good.

The photo of Zhu Ziqing at Bailing Temple during the Anti Japanese War was taken with a friendly look.


Uncle brought shopping, a kitchen knife, and facial oil, and we bought them one by one to earn foreign exchange for him.


Yangzhou Tianning Temple is one of the eight famous temples in Yangzhou during the Qing Dynasty. Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty visited Tianning Temple six times during his southern tours and ordered the salt inspector of the Two Huai Rivers, Cao Yin (grandfather of Cao Xueqin), to set up a bookstore inside the temple.

Free play, few tourists, two stone lions squatting at the temple entrance. These two stone lions are different from what we have seen before. All the stone lions at the entrance are squatting with dignity, facing straight ahead. This pair of children tilted their heads and looked at each other, constantly dancing stone balls, with one holding a little lion. Is this a family of three?

When the tricycle uncle asked us about the Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou, the first thing that came to my mind was "Lion Head". When the uncle said "Zhengbanqiao", I fainted and felt embarrassed. It turned out that the uncle was talking about eight painters, and I only knew how to eat and drink, and the Eight Eccentrics only knew one monster~

Wenhui Pavilion is the place where Grand Academician Ji Yun compiled the Complete Library of Four Branches


Tianning Temple was originally the villa of Xie An in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Xie An Juan translated the Avatamsaka Sutra for the Nepalese monk Buddha Tuoba Tuoluo here, and thus the Avatamsaka Pavilion was established.

Xinmei seems to have returned with nostalgia, but also like a scholar coming to study and learn.

I traveled a long distance to ask Buddha, just like Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden and looking around curiously.

The Siku Quanshu compiled by Ji Yun (Ji Xiaolan) is collected here

The emperor went south to Yangzhou and landed here, so he built a royal horse head.

Wandering around hungry, the small shop on the street solved the problem. Yangzhou fried rice, goose, and a bowl of Wonton.

I went out to wash my hands and saw that the faucet was turned on with a key.


Geyuan is a private garden built by Huang Zhiyun, a salt merchant from the two Huai regions. The garden travels through the four seasons, and the rockery presents the colors of spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

The prominent feature of the garden is bamboo and stone, and the character 'ge' takes half of the character 'zhu'. The leaves of bamboo, which are divided into three pieces per branch, also resemble the character 'ge'.

Turn left when entering the garden, and the spring shoots after the rain begin the prelude to spring.

From spring to summer

The trees in Xia Mountain are lush, and there is a stone in the pond that looks like the character "moon". The moon is reflected in the pond, and across from the character "moon", there is a monkey squatting and looking. Do you want to catch the moon?

Looking at the autumn mountains in deep autumn, maple leaves adorn the autumn even more



Entering the winter scenery, the white sky is as vast as a snowy expanse.

Many white stones are piled up, like a group of little lions playing in the snow, and 24 wind tunnels are opened on the south wall to create a chilly wind. Looking up while playing, the opposite side is full of spring vitality. The cold winter has arrived, is spring still early? The harsh winter echoes the early spring, what a unique garden.

Walking in the bamboo forest at dusk, I met a loving elderly couple who looked very cultured. During our conversation, I learned that both of them were old intellectuals who graduated from prestigious universities. Could you please take a group photo for us, Auntie? Are you excited or anxious? Xinmei, why aren't we in the same pose? This is two of you and three of me.


Auntie is happy to take photos for us. She took us on a shortcut through a quiet cave and then came to Xia Mountain to take photos.



Auntie, wait a minute. I want you to turn the screen sideways and take a picture. The result is this momentary record.

Is it influenced by the elderly couple? Continuing to pose with a sense of the times, isn't it very nostalgic!

Mini fire trucks on the pedestrian street

Skinny West Lake, how beautiful are you? Wake up early and walk there. Outside the scenic area, there are not only dishes from Miss Zhou's family, but also drinks from the eldest son of the He family. We didn't go to drink the young master's wine, so we didn't go to eat the dishes from Miss Er's house. But I went to Dongyuan to have a breakfast and lunch that combined into one, and the taste was not as good as "soy sauce"!

The sky has been gloomy all day, and my body is also a bit weak. Although I took a 40 minute break during dinner just now, I still couldn't move my feet when I entered the garden. 'Sister, I want to take a boat'.

Yaolu's younger sister said that in March, fireworks will be displayed on the embankment at three steps per peach and five steps per willow. Instantly replenishing the mind with colorful fallen petals, fragrant grass, and flying willows like smoke, creating a stunning scene.

The child on the boat fed the swan in the water, but the swan kept following the small boat, which excited the child greatly.

Wuting Bridge was built on Lianhua Bridge with five pavilions, which are said to have been built by the salt transport envoys of the two Huai regions to welcome Emperor Qianlong's southern tour. The Wuting Bridge has fifteen bridge openings, and on a full moon night, there is a reflection of the moon under each opening, which can be said to complement each other.

Listening to the little tune of swaying and caressing girls, taking pictures of the scenery on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.

Looking back at Wuting Bridge from the shore, I feel it's even more beautiful. Xinmei is dedicated to finding angles, and I feel like you're adding more embellishments to it~

Wow~The scenery here is so beautiful~Quick, take a picture, take a picture.

I said if we take a group photo, we won't let you take it alone, hahaha~

The colors of autumn are colorful

Fu Island is a villa owned by a local gentry in Yangzhou. The wealthy people here are really good at playing. The villa is built like a cow, just like a duck floating on the water.

The White Pagoda is one of the smaller white pagodas in Beijing. Why was such a tower built to please the emperor? It's really a painstaking effort.

After disembarking, prepare to exit through the north gate, as you cannot distinguish between north and south, so you have to follow the road signs. But the direction of the road signs here is not very clear, so we keep circling around.

It was just a light rain, but it started to rain heavily. Run quickly and find a pavilion to shelter from the rain.

The Skinny West Lake after the rain is even more colorful, fresh and charming.


Walking into a bonsai exhibition area, various bonsai are exquisitely carved.




Look out the rain washed trees, grass, and lake outside the window.


Outside the north gate is Daming Temple, where Jianzhen once resided before his eastward voyage. Standing in front of the mountain gate, one can enjoy a panoramic view of the Slender West Lake. Not only can salt envoys and local gentry play in Yangzhou, but even monks have such a charming atmosphere.

After a wild adventure, he returned to "making soy sauce" to eat meat and drink alcohol.

Xinmei kept calling all the way this time, and there was something at home that she was worried about in her dreams. After being full of food and drinks, prepare to end the trip early, refund tickets, and book tickets. The next morning, catch the high-speed train and board the plane to go home under the most beautiful sunset.
