Thai Hua Temple · Thousand Island Lake · Pastoral Ancient Village Exploration

🚗【Itinerary】 Day 1: Buriram Province, Thailand (Prasat Hin Phanom Rung—Buriram Historical Park—Thousand Island Lake) Day 2: Wuyuan, China (Fengshan Village—Longtian Pagoda—Gaoling China Village) Day 3: Yibin (Happy Pastoral—Shunan Bamboo Sea) 💫【In-depth Experience】 🏯Buriram, Thailand 🌅First Stop: Prasat Hin Phanom Rung The morning sun bathes the golden pagoda in a holy light at Prasat Hin Phanom Rung in Buriram. This thousand-year-old temple is famous for its lotus base and Angkor-style reliefs. While circling the main hall's prayer wheel, a local monk might offer you a jasmine garland with a smile. The fragrance intertwines with the chanting, bringing instant tranquility. Tips: Shoes must be removed before entering the temple. Sandals are recommended. 🌊Second Stop: Buriram Thousand Island Lake Who knew you could find a "Thousand Island Lake" in eastern Thailand! Take a long-tail boat through the scattered islands. The boatman might stop at a cove filled with red lotuses and show you how to feed the colorful fish with breadcrumbs. As the evening approaches, the lake surface turns amber. We recommend ordering a butterfly pea iced drink at the viewing platform and waiting for a pink and purple sunset. 🏮Wuyuan, China 🌼Fengshan Village · Longtian Pagoda Follow the bluestone path into Fengshan Village, where the hexagonal eaves of the 400-year-old Longtian Pagoda suddenly emerge from the white walls and black tiles. The copper bells on the top of the pagoda jingle in the wind, as if telling stories of Huizhou merchants. The steamed rice cakes offered by the village grannies have a tea oil aroma. Enjoy them under the ancient camphor tree before heading to the ancestral hall to watch the elders weave fish lamps with bamboo strips, a traditional craft brought to life. 🍵Gaoling China Village Put on a floral apron like a tea picker and follow the nimble fingers of the tea farmers to pick pre-Qingming tea. Experience the traditional tea-making process of stir-frying and rolling in the ancient tea workshop. As the tea leaves crackle in the 200°C iron pot, the fragrance of orchids fills the room. Stay overnight in a rammed earth guesthouse and enjoy a starry sky ten times brighter than in the city! 🎪Yibin 🐼Happy Pastoral Take your kids to this southern Sichuan version of a "fairytale farm" and scream on the bamboo shoot-shaped slide while feeding the bowing sika deer. The biggest surprise is the bamboo forest theater, where a face-changing artist suddenly appears from a panda puppet, captivating the children with sugar paintings. 🎋Shunan Bamboo Sea Surprise This wasn't originally planned, but the local driver highly recommended it! Stroll along the Emerald Corridor, where 70,000 acres of bamboo forest filter the sunlight into flowing green mist. Discover the thousand-year-old hanging coffins on the cliffs in Xianyu Cave, a truly awe-inspiring sight. 🍜【Food Recommendations】 ▫️Buriram Crispy Rice Salad: A magical collision of sour and spicy green mango and crispy rice. ▫️Wuyuan Pouch Red Carp: Fish stewed in glutinous rice wine with a subtle sweetness. ▫️Yibin Ran Mian: Bean sprouts and crushed peanuts tap-dance on your tongue. 📸【Photography Tips】 1️⃣East side of Prasat Hin Phanom Rung, the light filtering through the colorful prayer flags at 4 pm is stunning. 2️⃣Bench Bridge in Fengshan Village, capturing reflections in the lingering morning mist creates an ink painting effect. 3️⃣Mushroom House in Happy Pastoral, use a wide-angle lens for an Alice in Wonderland feel. 🚩【Things to Avoid】 ❗Bargain for the Buriram Thousand Island Lake boat tour down to 300 THB/hour. ❗The best time to see the "sun-drying" in Wuyuan is from September to November. In other seasons, visit Chaguan Village to see water buffalo crossing the bridge. ❗Yibin cuisine is quite strong. Remember to say "slightly spicy" when ordering. 💡【Unique Experiences】 Experience the morning alms giving at Prasat Hin Phanom Rung, starting at 5:30 am, where monks line up to receive sticky rice. Make a reservation for ancient kiln firing in Gaoling Village and place your pottery in the thousand-year-old dragon kiln. The Wuliangye Distillery in Yibin offers an interactive cocktail experience! 🌐【Locations】 📍Prasat Hin Phanom Rung: Mueang District, Buriram Province, Thailand 📍Fengshan Village, Wuyuan: Zeyuan Township, Wuyuan County, Shangrao City, Jiangxi Province, China 📍Happy Pastoral: Lizhuang Town, Cuiping District, Yibin City, Sichuan Province, China This journey across Thailand and China, from Buddhist temples to bamboo seas, from ancient pagodas to modern pastoral scenes, holds unexpected cultural encounters at every turn.
