One-day tour to Lishui East Lushan Mountain

Jinling City Jiming Temple is quite famous in Nanjing. There is also a temple in the south of the city, located in the lower courtyard of Jiming Temple. Not many people know about it. Donglu Mountain, where it is located, is the source of the Qinhuai River. I just had one day on the weekend to visit this place. One-day trip to Donglu Mountain

There is also a lower courtyard of Jiming Temple called "Donglu Guanyin Temple" in Lishui, south of the city, but few people know about it. In the rainy March, I took a break from my busy schedule and went to Donglu Mountain in Lishui to visit this temple.

Donglu Mountain is not high, but it has a great reputation. It is said to be the source of the famous Qinhuai River. There is also an allusion that Yan Ziling, a famous scholar of the Eastern Han Dynasty, built a hut here to live in seclusion, which made me full of curiosity when I never came here.

After getting off the taxi, several mountain peaks appeared in front of me, quietly hidden in the mist. I had an indescribable feeling. I walked slowly up the mountain along the flat mountain road, and my depressed heart gradually felt relieved.

Under the hillside on the left, there is a temple that seems to be still under construction, but I know it is not Donglu Temple.

As I approached the top of the mountain, I realized that the mountain was actually not high.

A very eye-catching building. Although I don’t know what it is, I can tell that it must be very grand.

Further forward is Qin Huaiyuan.

This place has been carefully carved, and every stone and plant has been placed in the most suitable place, which makes it seem a bit restrained.

However, it is very suitable to take pictures here.

I like the shape of this stone screen, but I don’t have the patience to identify the words. Impatience is a common problem among modern people, and I am no exception.

Next to it is Guanyin Temple. Before entering the temple, I had to linger on the platform in front of the temple, because the emptiness here completely drove away the haze in my heart.

The architectural style of the temple has a strong sense of momentum, but to be honest, I think it does not match the name of Guanyin Temple.

But no matter what, I always respect Guanshiyin Bodhisattva. Climbing up the stairs, I saw that the temple was empty, not even a sound.

There is a white spot under the eaves, which is a pigeon. It is the only animal I see here.

Friendly reminder

Donglushan can be reached directly by bus No. 16. The scenic spot is under renovation. Please keep the environment clean and quiet when visiting. Donglu Mountain Guanyin Temple

The weather was gloomy and hot that morning. I chased all the way from the source of Donglu Mountain Guanyin Temple. I saw the re-erected Qinhuai source stone monument, watched the water at the source at close range, and then walked along The road from the temple goes down the mountain, and there is a stone tablet erected on the roadside at the foot of the mountain. It also has a big book on the origin of Qinhuai. I don't know whether it is true or not, and I am puzzled, so I will continue to pursue it; I will take a break for a while with a passing meal at noon. Finally, I continued to move forward with the scorching sun above my head and my back dripping with sweat. I couldn't believe that I couldn't trace the real source, so I traced it to the Zhongshan Reservoir. Demolitions were happening everywhere and the environment around the reservoir was being renovated. It seemed that the government had spent a lot of money to create green mountains and green waters. "It's true that hard work pays off. I finally caught up to Qinhuaiyuan Park, and I really knew the ins and outs of Qinhuaiyuan."
