On the mountain, Buddhism flourishes. History, prayers, people, and culture merges into one body.

(Translated by Google) Jiuhua Mountain (simplified Chinese: 九华山; traditional Chinese: 九華山; phonetic: Jǐuhuá Shān) is one of the four great Buddhist mountains in China, located southeast of Chizhou City in Anhui Province - China Quoc. This mountain is famous for its beautiful scenery and ancient temples, associated with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva
During the Luong and Tran dynasties during the Northern and Southern dynasties, Jiuhua Mountain was called Jiuzi Mountain because local people saw that it consisted of 9 mountains of the same size. However, there is a legend that in the year of Tang Tianbao (742-755), the famous poet Li Bai visited here and wrote:
"The magical existence divides the two energies
Linh Son opens nine flowers"
Pandemic:
"The magic divides heaven and earth
Linh Son blooms in full bloom"
Therefore, from then on this mountain changed its name to Cuu Hoa mountain.
The elegantly beautiful Jiushan is located south of Chizhou city, Anhui province. The total area of the scenic area in Jiushan Mountain is 120 km². The protected area is 114 km2. Along with the mountains: Wutaishan Mountain in Shanxi Province, Emeishan in Sichuan Province, and Putuo Mountain in Zhejiang Province, Jiuhua Mountain is one of the four sacred mountains of Buddhism in China, often visited referred to as "The Four Great Buddhist Famous Mountains".

Núi Cửu Hoa (giản thể: 九华山; phồn thể: 九華山; phiên âm: Jǐuhuá Shān) là một trong tứ đại Phật giáo danh sơn tại Trung Quốc, nằm về phía đông nam của phố Trì Châu thuộc tỉnh An Huy - Trung Quốc. Đây là ngọn núi nổi tiếng vì có phong cảnh đẹp và những ngôi đền cổ, gắn liền với Địa Tạng Bồ Tát
Vào triều đại nhà Lương, nhà Trần trong thời Nam Bắc triều, Cửu Hoa Sơn có tên là Cửu Tử Sơn do người dân địa phương thấy nơi đây gồm 9 ngọn núi có cùng kích cỡ với nhau. Tuy nhiên có truyết thuyết nói rằng vào năm Đường Thiên Bảo (742-755), nhà thơ nổi tiếng Lý Bạch đã từng đến đây và viết:
"Diệu hữu phân nhị khí
Linh Sơn khai cửu hoa"
Dịch:
"Diệu hữu phân trời đất
Linh Sơn nở chín hoa"
Vì vậy mà từ đó ngọn núi này đổi tên thành núi Cửu Hoa.
Cửu Sơn có vẻ đẹp thanh nhã nằm về phía Nam của phố Trì Châu, tỉnh An Huy. Tổng diện tích của khu phong cảnh ở núi Cửu Sơn là 120 km². Diện tích bảo vệ là 114 km2. Cùng với các ngọn núi: Ngũ Đài Sơnthuộc tỉnh Sơn Tây, Nga Mi Sơn thuộc tỉnh Tứ Xuyên, và Phổ Đà Sơn thuộc tỉnh Triết Giang, Cửu Hoa Sơn là một trong 4 ngọn núi linh thiêng của Đạo Phật ở Trung Quốc, thường được nhắc đến với cái tên "Tứ Đại Phật giáo danh sơn".

(Translated by Google) A place to experience Buddhism in all its fascination. The temples are very well preserved and impressive.
Unfortunately, the complex is only accessible to individual travelers as it is far away from all tourist routes. The advantage of this remoteness is of course that you can take photos in which there are no more tourists than locals.
Speaking of recordings: recordings are not permitted in the temples.
Therefore 1 point deducted.
(Original)
Ein Ort, den Buddhismus in all seiner Faszination zu erleben. Die Tempel sind sehr gut erhalten und beeindruckend.
Leider ist die Anlage nur für Individualreisende zugänglich, da sie weit abseits aller touristischen Pfade liegt. Der Vorteil dieser Abgelegenheit ist natürlich, dass man Aufnahmen machen kann, auf denen nicht mehr Touristen als Einheimische zu sehen sind.
A propos Aufnahmen: In den Tempeln sind Aufnahmen nicht gestattet.
Deshalb auch 1 Punkt Abzug.

(Translated by Google) Rainbow Bridge is located in Qinghua Town. It was first built in the Song Dynasty, more than 800 years ago. It is named after the Tang Dynasty poem "Two waters hold a bright mirror, two bridges fall into a rainbow". It is the oldest and longest covered bridge in ancient Huizhou and has been praised by many media as "one of the most beautiful covered bridges in China". The bridge is 140 meters long and 7 meters wide. It has a pavilion with benches on both sides. On both sides of the Rainbow Bridge, the mountains are like black clouds, and green water flows under the bridge.

Tianzhu Shan is a stunning national park with mountainous terrain that resembles Chinese paintings. The hike to the top is challenging and lengthy, but the scenery along the way and at the peak is breathtaking. Although there is another higher peak beyond, some may choose not to continue due to its distance. The foggy mist at the top adds an extra layer of beauty to this picturesque location. Overall, Tianzhu Shan offers unparalleled natural beauty for those willing to take on its trails.
Extremely beautiful mountain national park area that looks just like the Chinese paintings! The hike is pretty long and strenuous and once you’re at the top it turns out there’s another six hours to get to an even higher peak which I didn’t do. The scenery at the top and all the way along the hike is pretty spectacular. I also really liked the cloudy foggy misty feeling at the top.

Five-Old-Man Peak, one of the cherished landmarks in Lushan, boasts five magnificent peaks that can be reached by trekking from any starting point. As a child, I was introduced to this enchanting place through depictions in Saint Seiya, where Wu Laofeng and the iconic waterfall of Lushan left an indelible mark on my memory.
Nice view on the top

(Translated by Google) One of the many classics in Lushan Mountain, there are five peaks in total. You can climb along the path from the first peak to the fifth peak. When I was a kid, I watched Saint Seiya, and for the first time I learned about the Wulao Peak and the iconic waterfall in Mount Lu. There are not too many people here, so it is a good place to climb mountains and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Fairy Cave, located in China's Gulin region, is a popular tourist destination known for its breathtaking views and unique features. The calcium caves contain pinnacles that are sure to leave visitors in awe. One of the highlights of the cave experience includes boating while listening to beautiful songs sung by local young girls. This attraction is not one to miss for those seeking natural beauty and cultural immersion during their travels in China.
Cave of the Immortal (仙人洞) is one of the most spectacular walks and historically important religious sites on Lushan, a holy mountain south of Wuhan. The immortal is Lu Dongbin, one of the most popular deities in Taoism. According to legend, it was here in the 8th century that he meditated until he became immortal.
(Note: the standard translation of the Chinese word "xianren" 仙人 is "immortal" and not "fairy," which in today's English conjures up Tinkerbell or some little being with wings. Can someone fix the name of this location? It's completely ridiculous to use the outdated word "fairy.")
I spent a day here in 2016 and talked to Taoist priests who still walk the mountains and live in the caves. The place is at times overrun with tourists, so my advice is to go early on a weekday morning, or in foggy or rainy weather. That way you avoid the weekend crowds.
Nearby you can see the site of the Lushan Conference in 1959, when Mao silenced critics and made the Great Famine (1958-61) one of the worst in recorded history. So on this mountain you can see some of the highest and lowest points of Chinese civilization...

Later generations changed the name of Buddha's Hand Rock to Immortal Cave in order to serve Lu Dongbin in the temple.

During the summer, the 九江庐山瀑布群 attraction can become excessively warm, potentially lacking water. The Sandie Spring cascades down approximately three thousand feet below, appearing quite small at first glance. However, after rainfall, it is anticipated to transform into a more enchanting sight. Hopefully, there will be future opportunities to visit this attraction again.

Changsha Window of the World is a popular tourist attraction featuring replicas of renowned global sites such as Mount Rushmore and the Egyptian pyramids, in addition to various amusement rides. Despite its age and language barrier for English speakers, it offers excellent photo opportunities and food stalls. However, foreigners may find the local cuisine intolerable. Overall, Changsha Window of the World provides an enjoyable experience for visitors seeking to explore different cultures in one location.
Although not a perfect place and quite old, it’s a great place to pay a visit during the trip to Changsha. They have some great places for photo shooting and rides together with food stalls. The main set back is that they don’t speak English and the foods are not tolerable for foreigners like us. But overall, it was quite a nice visit.

Window of the world was an experience! The theme park itself was quite old and worn, with a lot of the park looking dirty and unclean. But it had a certain charm and I especially enjoyed the lake's water fountain show to some Disney and opera songs. I really did enjoy it and the lack of stars is only a reflection on the tiredness of the park. Sydney Opera House for example looked as though it had been on a three week bender - looked a bit dirty and smelly, but like lots of fun...

Came here for a layover in Changsha. Tickets are expensive (180 RMB) and not worth it. The park was tired and worn out with barely any people during the day. Seemed almost like an abandoned amusement park. Performances were not happening and there were barely any staff in the park. Go to the one in Shenzhen...it's 10x better!

(Translated by Google) I was prepared to go after seeing the reviews saying it was old, but it was even more beautiful than I expected. It was nice that there weren't many people. I took my 1-year-old with me and it was nice to take a walk, and there was also an indoor amusement park for kids. The staff seemed to be taking turns taking a break, so there were some play equipment that I couldn't ride on.
Boats and VR require additional fees.
When I ordered gyudon at a shop next to the roller coaster that rotates once, it was seasoned like a hot pot.
There were also other stinky tofu shops.
Although you can't see it on the map, there are many hills, so if you have small children, we recommend renting a stroller. The Ferris wheel had a lot of stairs so it was a little difficult. It was a nice change of pace.
I think 20 yuan per person is cheap considering you can play this much.

一回転するジェットコースターの横のお店で牛丼を頼んだら、火鍋の味付けでした。

The Hunan Museum is a vast historical and cultural institution spanning 12 acres. Recently rebuilt and reopened in late 2017, the museum boasts an impressive exhibition on the Han tombs which draws visitors from all over the world. This attraction has been said to be even more exhilarating than Xi'an's warriors, though it can become crowded at busy times with long queues.
Most of the exhibits comes with English description, and features artifacts that are over some 2000 years ago. The exhibits shows how the wealthy influence the society and even till now.
Clement Leong — Google review
The entry system sucks as they are unable to scan the pre-registered QR codes and detect the registered ID document efficiently. The on-site staffs are helpful and have tried their best to guide the crowd and identify the queue which accepts the non- Chinese ID registrations. The management can do much more, such as setting up the LED signages at the entrance and enhancing the computer systems please!!
The exhibitions are amazing and impressive as the 2000 years old “lady mummy” named 辛追and her stuffs are kept well, I like its thinnest silk jacket.
They even show the original drawing of the imagery heaven and hell by Chinese painters several 1000 years ago (the one with black bird, which signifies the god of Sun), before the belief of Buddhist arrives in China.
However, the bad experience at the entry nearly ruins this visit, the museum management should put more efforts in improving this. Further, please add the basic English instruction on the signages.
For foreign visitors , please be reminded to register to reserve the free entry tickets at preferred time-slots via the official WeChat account, the reservation is opened 7 days in advance.

The exhibition on the Han tombs - for which the new building was created - is one of the great attractions of the world. (In my view it is more exciting than Xi'an's warriors.)

As one of the four most prestigious academies over the last 1000 years in China, Yuelu Academy has been a famous institution of higher learning as well as a centre of academic activities and cultures since it was formally set up during the Northern Song Dynasty. The academy was converted into the Hunan Institute of Higher Learning in 1903. It was later renamed Hunan Normal College, Hunan Public Polytechnic School, and finally Hunan University in 1926. Yuelu Academy was once a center of Confucian learning in China.

Wonderful ancient seat of learning in the equally impressive Hunan University. Must see.

One of the four ancient academies in China. Plenty of history to explore and enjoy.
