I want to travel to Jiuhua Mountain recently. Can you give me some advice?

1. Transportation:

First, let me introduce the general situation of Jiuhua Mountain. Jiuhua Mountain is located near Qingyang County, Chizhou City, Anhui Province, but it is not under the jurisdiction of Qingyang County and becomes Jiuhua Mountain. The management area is directly under the jurisdiction of Chizhou City. I would like to remind you that at the entrance of the long-distance bus station in Qingyang County, there are many private cars soliciting passengers to go to Jiuhua Mountain. The price is also 5 yuan/person. Don’t be greedy for cheap, they will drag you to the fake temple below Jiuhua Mountain to burn incense. The fragrance there is ridiculously expensive.

2. Tourist Attractions:

The tourist bus from Qingyang County Long-distance Bus Station to Jiuhua Mountain stops at the mountain gate ticket office at the foot of Jiuhua Mountain. The ticket price is 140 yuan in peak season and 110 yuan in low season. , the off-season only lasts for two months, from 12.31 to 2.28. Tickets can be discounted in half with military ID, student ID, conversion certificate, senior citizen ID and other relevant documents. The ticket includes free bus up and down the mountain for three days. There is a parking lot next to the ticket office. You can take a free bus up the mountain. The journey takes about 20 minutes. After the free bus goes up the mountain, it stops on Jiuhua Street, next to Gion Temple.

The scenic spots in Jiuhua Mountain are divided into two parts: the front mountain and the back mountain. It will take 2 days to complete the tour. When visiting Qianshan scenic spots, it is recommended to find a local mountain man as a tour guide. You can avoid many unnecessary detours and get a lot of convenience during the tour. The market price of a local mountain guide is 30-50 yuan/day. Bring more water before climbing the mountain. , you will be very thirsty after sweating, and bottled mineral water on the mountain is very expensive.

The order of sightseeing in Qianshan: Gion Temple -> Huacheng Temple -> Zhantan Zen Forest (Dabei Tower) -> Tonghui Zen Forest -> Flesh Body Hall -> Small Rooftop -> Huixiang Pavilion -> Dongya Zen Temple -> Bell Tower -> Feilai Guanyin Peak -> Xiaotian Four Peaks -> Centennial Palace, the first five scenic spots are on Jiuhua Street, and the following scenic spots will start climbing. If there is a tour guide for these scenic spots, it will take half a day You can finish playing. If you are not a devout Buddhist, it is recommended to burn incense at the highest point of the Body Hall, where Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is the most spiritual. It is best to buy incense at the incense shop opposite the Hall of the Flesh. The quality is better. You cannot bargain when buying incense, otherwise it will not work.

The order of visiting the back mountain attractions: Take the free bus to Phoenix Pine. You can ask the tour guide or hotel owner about the bus location. After the free bus arrives at the back mountain parking lot, follow the road signs and walk to Phoenix Pine. After watching the Phoenix Pine, take the Rooftop Cableway to visit ancient times and worship today. Round-trip tickets for the Rooftop Cableway can be discounted with military ID, student ID, conversion certificate, senior citizen ID and other relevant documents. If you don’t take the Rooftop Cableway, you have to walk for about 2 hours to go to Gubai Jintai. You will pass some small attractions and temples on the way, but I advise everyone to take the Rooftop Cableway up. There are many opportunities to climb stairs at the back. There is no need to waste energy in front of you until you can't climb anymore. Climbing up the ancient worship platform is the top of the Tiantai. There is a three-way intersection at the top of the Tiantai. You can go all the way to Tiantai Ksitigarbha Temple, all the way to Shiwang Peak, where you can see the Guanyin Stone, and finally all the way to the Flower Terrace, where you can see the natural Sleeping Buddha and the Flying Buddha. Come to the peak, but the last journey takes about 4 hours. I visited the first two attractions, but the last one was too time-consuming, so I didn’t go there. I can go there if I have time, but it’s very hard to climb the mountain. You can eat vegetarian food at Gubaijintai and Dizang Temple for 10 yuan/person. It is recommended to try it. It tastes good. There are also mountain people on the mountain selling pure green foods such as wild kiwi and polygonatum. It is recommended to buy some. Wild kiwi is very sweet and nutritious. Polygonatum can be used to stew chicken soup and replenish vitality. They are both good things.

There is also Ganlu Temple, which is Jiuhuashan Buddhist College. It is far away from Jiuhua Street. It is halfway up Jiuhuashan. You will pass by it on the way to Jiuhua Street by taking the free bus from the bottom of the mountain. However, It’s non-stop. If you want to go, you have to charter a car. There is a physical Bodhisattva in the back hall, which is the physical body of monk Huicheng, a disciple of monk Rende.

The seven physical Bodhisattvas in Mount Jiuhua: 1. The physical body of Monk Huicheng - Ganlu Temple 2. The physical body of Master Renyi - Tonghui Zen Forest 3. The physical body of Monk Mingjing - Zhantan Zen Forest (Dabei Tower) 4. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva - Flesh Body Hall 5, Monk Wuxia - Centennial Palace 6, Monk Ciming - Ksitigarbha Zen Forest 7, Monk Daxing - Qingyang County.
