I accidentally got to know this treasure town - 📍Deyang, which is an hour away from Chengdu. 📌Deyang Stone Carving Park Deyang Stone Carving Park is located in the city of Deyang, named for the stone carving art wall in the park. The art wall is 1080 meters long and 7 meters high, composed of large-scale relief group images, arches, stone pillars, etc., said to be the largest modern art stone carving sculpture group in our country. A city park that looks ordinary without any highlights, but walking into it really shocks the artist's imagination and superb skills. Large continuous ancient Roman-style stone pillars and Baroque-style buildings, carved with countless well-known ancient Chinese mythological stories and stories of national unity, as if you have come to a mythological world that combines Chinese and Western cultures. Choose to arrive in the evening, without the internet celebrities who come to check in, only some local residents strolling after dinner and some martial arts school students practicing. 📌Confucius Temple Square I have been to the Confucius Temple in many cities, and the overall architectural style is not much different. The Confucius Temple Square during the day does not seem to have any special attraction. However, after nightfall, the Confucius Temple Square seems to have a different vitality, and it has become the most joyful nightlife square in the entire city. Small vendors selling all kinds of cheap small commodities, parents catching fish in front of the pond with their children, a food stall where you can eat all kinds of authentic local food, and even groups of square dance aunts are a beautiful landscape. Perhaps this is the magic of travel. Seeing familiar things in unfamiliar places can also arouse your deep curiosity.

Visiting the Confucian Temple and Sanxingdui in Deyang? Choosing the right hotel instantly boosts your travel happiness! The lobby of Ji Hotel Wenmiao Square is so stunning it left me speechless—definitely not your average chain hotel’s half-hearted effort. The moment you step inside, you feel the spaciousness! The high vaulted ceiling makes the space incredibly airy, with natural wood textures paired with warm, soft lighting. There’s no excessive decoration, just minimalist beauty and plenty of negative space, perfectly embodying the “Ji Hotel style” vibe 🌿. Bamboo and pine plants add a touch of green, while the hidden Zen-inspired bookshelves and sculptures strangely echo the red walls and black tiles of the nearby Confucian Temple, filling the space with rich cultural atmosphere. My favorite spot is the tea break corner, where the faint scent of Zen tea lingers. Whether you’re resting before check-in or unwinding after exploring the Confucian Temple night market, it’s super cozy. The space is so large it never feels crowded, and it’s perfect for photos—every snap captures a simple yet sophisticated Oriental aesthetic. Sharing it on social media got me bombarded with questions about the location! The location is absolutely perfect, within walking distance to Wenmiao Square and the snack street. It’s super convenient to enjoy Deyang rice noodles, Xiaoji rice slices, and Heartbreaking Spring Rolls, and you can quickly grab a taxi to Sanxingdui. Having stayed at many Ji Hotels, this one’s lobby feels grand yet warm. When in Deyang, you can book this place with your eyes closed~ Need me to help you with real photos and descriptions of the hotel rooms, or organize a one-day tour route for Deyang’s Confucian Temple + Sanxingdui?

Visiting Deyang for the first time, Stone Carving Park is a must-check-in spot! Starting from downtown, it’s less than a 10-minute drive to experience the elegant charm of Western Sichuan gardens. Known as "The Best Stone Carvings in Shu," Deyang’s stone carvings have a long history and rich content, making it a treasure trove of Western Sichuan stone carving art. Inside Stone Carving Park, you can find the largest existing Han Dynasty pictorial stone coffin in the country, stone steles with Three Kingdoms culture carvings, and representative wood and stone carvings from the Ming and Qing dynasties in Western Sichuan, all of which hold great historical, artistic, and scientific value. 🌟🌟🌟 Highlights you must see: 🦁🦁🦁 The "Lion Culture" stands out the most! The stone lions are the park’s "treasures," each with a unique and lifelike design. Among them, Lion No. 9 is known as the "World’s Number One Lion," about 2.7 meters tall and weighing around 2 tons, with exquisite carving craftsmanship and a majestic presence. 🏯🏯🏯 The park also features more than 10 exhibition halls, including the "Ancient and Modern Stone Carving Museum," the "Ming and Qing Archway Art Exhibition Hall," and the "Han Dynasty Pictorial Brick and Stone Exhibition Hall."

🌟 Xiaoqian Ancient Town: Hear the echoes of the Ming and Qing dynasties under the eaves of Wusheng Palace Push open the weathered wooden door of Wusheng Palace, and time seems to slow down here. This Guandi Temple, originally built in the Ming Dynasty, has withstood 400 years of wind and rain while maintaining its original layout. The flying dragon ridge beasts on the eaves and the ginkgo leaves shining warmly under the sunlight all tell the story of the past glory of the "Nine Palaces and Eighteen Temples." As the birthplace of the Han Dynasty filial piety story "An An Sends Rice," Xiaoqian Town’s Wusheng Palace is where loyalty culture and filial piety tradition wonderfully blend. 🏯 Ancient Architecture Secrets When sunlight passes through the carved wooden windows, casting scattered light and shadows on the ground, you will notice the eight golden pillars in the main hall hiding a secret—they all use the "Chongtianzhu" structure, standing directly on the ground without a base. This unique Ming Dynasty official architectural technique makes the entire hall appear especially tall and solemn. The greatest surprise is the Qing Dynasty woodblock edition of the "True Scripture of Guansheng Dijun’s Awakening to the World" displayed in the side hall, with the faint fragrance of ink still discernible. ✨ Zen in Daily Life Turn into the tea room in the side courtyard, where seasonal Buddha’s hand fruit and thread-bound books are placed on wooden cabinets, and the candle and fruit plate on the table form a natural still life painting. The old Taoist priest says this is the "tea ceremony after morning lessons," and they still maintain the tradition of burning incense and offering fruit before copying scriptures. Even the sound of turning pages here carries a sense of ritual. 📍 Practical Tips The best time to visit is the quiet moment after the morning pilgrims have left. The golden ginkgo leaves and vermilion palace walls in late autumn make a perfect match. Don’t miss the braised beef and sesame cakes in town—you’ll find even the food carries the persistence of ancient methods. Every brick and tile is a practice, every tea and fruit reveals the true heart. Wusheng Palace makes people believe that some spiritual charm will never be faded by time.

Watch a sunset over the sea once, and you'll understand: life is not a one-way street, but a vast sea to race across. Use 5 minutes of speed to exchange for an undefined youthful afternoon! Went to Sea World with a few good friends to drive go-karts. To get better photos, we rented an extra set of racing suits. Wearing the racing suit really feels different, like a cool girl! We angrily took dozens of photos together~ Before driving the go-karts, the coach showed us the safety instructions. Then we chose helmets 🪖 and had our equipment checked before being allowed on the track! One friend and I chose a two-seater go-kart. Feeling the sea breeze, enjoying speed and passion with a friend, it was like forgetting all the work KPIs! Looking at the Ferris wheel in the distance, all work worries were left behind! It was simply too joyful 🎊 Little tips: 1️⃣ Don’t wear a short skirt; it’s inconvenient for driving~ 2️⃣ There are 🆓 lockers; you pay a deposit 🦆 first, which is refundable after you retrieve your items! 3️⃣ In autumn and winter evenings, the sea breeze is quite cold, remember to bring a thick coat 🧥 4️⃣ Check the weather before coming ☁️ Sunny days with sunsets make for better photos!

Wenshu Monastery, Chengdu: A Thousand-Year-Old Zen Forest Amidst the Urban Bustle In the heart of Chengdu, a city known for its tranquility, lies a wondrous place: separated from the bustling city by only a wall. Outside, traffic throngs and crowds of people taking photos at popular spots; inside, a serene world of chanting and ancient trees. This is Wenshu Monastery—a Buddhist Zen forest founded in the Sui Dynasty, enduring over a thousand years of vicissitudes, and still vibrantly present in the daily lives of Chengdu residents. It is not only one of the four major Buddhist monasteries in western Sichuan and a key national Buddhist temple in Han Chinese areas designated by the State Council, but also a "empty forest" monastery that blends history, architecture, art, and the philosophy of everyday life. I. Historical Evolution: A Thousand-Year Legacy from "Xinxiang Temple" to "Konglin Hall" The history of Wenshu Monastery is a miniature epic, breathing and sharing the fate of Chengdu. Its origins can be traced back to the Sui Dynasty (605-617 AD), when it was built by King Yang Xiu of Shu for the nun Xinxiang, hence its initial name "Xinxiang Temple." During the Tang Dynasty's persecution of Buddhism and the chaos of the late Ming Dynasty, the temple was nearly destroyed, with only ten iron-cast guardian deities and two ancient cedar trees remaining, stubbornly protecting the embers of the Buddhist lineage. The real turning point occurred in the 20th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign (1681). Zen Master Cidu came to the ruins and built a thatched hut between the two cedar trees for ascetic practice. Legend has it that when he passed away and was cremated, the flames condensed in the air into an image of Manjushri Bodhisattva, lingering for a long time. Believers revered him as an incarnation of Manjushri, and the temple was renamed "Wenshu Monastery." From the 36th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, officials, gentry, soldiers, and civilians donated funds for its reconstruction, establishing its present layout. The Kangxi Emperor bestowed the plaque "Konglin" (Empty Forest), hence Wenshu Monastery is also known as "Konglin Hall." After expansions during the Jiaqing and Daoguang reigns, it eventually became a vast monastery covering over 200,000 square meters, with magnificent halls and pavilions. II. Architecture and Art: A Model of Qing Dynasty Architecture and a Treasure Trove of Cultural Relics The architecture of Wenshu Monastery is typical of the ancient architecture of the western Sichuan plain. Facing south, it progresses along a central axis, forming a solemn and enclosed courtyard layout. Its main buildings are all Qing Dynasty reconstructions of wood and stone structures, using Sichuan gorges stone for pillars, simple yet magnificent, and a precious example of ancient Chinese architectural art. The core architectural sequence begins at the mountain gate, consisting of the Hall of Heavenly Kings, the Hall of the Three Great Bodhisattvas, the Great Buddha Hall, the Dharma Hall, and the Sutra Repository. To the east and west are the Bell and Drum Towers, the Dining Hall, and corridors, totaling over 190 rooms. Among them, the Dharma Hall preserves ten iron statues of guardian deities cast in the Song Dynasty, with a unique ancient style, a treasure that survived the calamity of the monastery. The temple houses a treasure trove of cultural relics: * **Buddhist Relics:** The most precious is undoubtedly the skull relic of the Tang Dynasty monk Xuanzang. This skull relic survived wars and was lost in modern times. It was later brought to Sichuan by chance and ultimately preserved intact to this day thanks to the life-saving protection of the former abbot of Wenshu Monastery, Master Kuanlin, during a special period. It has become a rare Buddhist treasure. * **Artistic Treasures:** The temple houses over 300 Buddha statues of various sizes, made of bronze, iron, jade, wood, and clay, mostly cast by renowned Qing Dynasty craftsmen, showcasing exquisite craftsmanship. In addition, it also possesses Emperor Kangxi's calligraphy of "Konglin," a stele inscription of the poem "Haiyue," a Ming Dynasty stele inscription of the Diamond Sutra, a Tang Dynasty gilded Japanese prayer wheel, and Indian palm-leaf scriptures. * **Cultural Treasures:** The long corridor and stele forest gather calligraphy inscriptions from the Qing Dynasty imperial family to modern masters such as Yu Youren, Xie Wuliang, and Qi Gong, exuding a rich literary atmosphere. III. Zen-Inspired Living: Intangible Cultural Heritage and Urban Spiritual Practice The charm of Wenshu Monastery lies not only in its antiquity but also in its vibrant present. It perfectly embodies the concept of "Humanistic Buddhism," seamlessly integrating profound Zen philosophy into the daily lives of Chengdu residents. The over 300-year-old "Laba Festival Temple Fair" is a vivid example. This representative activity, listed as a Chengdu Intangible Cultural Heritage, is held annually in the twelfth lunar month. Its core is "offering Laba porridge and creating joyful connections." Wenshu Monastery not only distributes hundreds of thousands of cups of hot porridge free of charge to citizens offline but also sets up hundreds of convenient service points throughout the city, delivering blessings to every corner of the city. During the temple fair, the monastery's garden area hosts a garden party incorporating traditional folk customs such as pitch-pot, flower arranging, and lantern riddles, giving the ancient festival a new lease on life. In daily life, Wenshu Monastery is also a spiritual home for the people of Chengdu. The temple's incense and vegetarian dining hall offers serene vegetarian meals, while the adjacent tea garden is a perfect place to experience Chengdu's slow-paced lifestyle: spend a few yuan to brew a bowl of covered tea, sit under a century-old ginkgo or sycamore tree, listen to the wind and the bells, watch the sunlight move, and you can truly feel the city's Zen-like tranquility. IV. Tour Guide: An Immersive Experience of the "Empty Forest" Basic Information · Address: No. 66, Wenshu Monastery Street, Qingyang District, Chengdu. · Opening Hours: 08:00-17:00 year-round. · Admission: Free. · Transportation: Exit K of Wenshu Monastery Station on Metro Line 1, approximately a 5-minute walk. Tour Route and Experience Suggestions 1. Architectural Axis Tour: Visit the major halls along the central axis, focusing on experiencing the profound history of the Dharma Hall and the solemnity of the Sutra Repository. 2. Tranquil Stroll in the Garden: After the axis tour, you can enter the garden area on the west side. Here, ancient trees reach for the sky, pavilions are exquisitely crafted, and the golden ginkgo leaves in autumn are particularly breathtaking, making it an ideal spot for quiet contemplation and experiencing Zen. 3. Unique Experiences: * **Buddhist Worship and Blessing:** Three sticks of incense can be obtained free of charge within the temple; please offer incense respectfully. * **Tea and Vegetarian Meals:** Be sure to sit in the tea garden and experience the harmony of Zen and tea; the vegetarian dishes at Xiangzhai Hall are also worth trying. * **Spotlight:** The red wall outside the temple, inscribed with "Happiness" and "World Peace, Human Happiness," are popular photo backdrops. 4. **Nearby Attractions:** The area in front of Wenshu Monastery has been developed into the "Wenshu Fang" historical and cultural district. The uniformly built antique-style buildings house numerous Chengdu specialty snacks, such as Dongzikou Zhang Liangfen (cold noodles) and a palace-style pastry shop, perfectly combining cultural tourism with culinary experiences. In conclusion, Wenshu Monastery is an irreplaceable cultural landmark of Chengdu. It is an ancient temple with a history of over a thousand years, a museum of architecture and art, and a Zen-like space where modern people can find peace and tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle of the city. Here, history is not a cold display, but a warm life that permeates every wisp of incense, every cup of tea, and every relaxed face.

Just after the Winter Solstice, the bluestone slabs of Xiaoquan Ancient Town feel a bit chilly, but once you step through the gate of Yuhu Garden, even the wind softens— Red lanterns under the eaves soak in the winter sun, beams of Tyndall light pass through sparse branches, scattering delicate warmth onto the porcelain cups on the tea table. The freshly brewed jasmine tea exhales warm mist into the cool air, and looking up, the flowing water gently rocks the "suspended water ball." The stone stools are warmed by the sun, and even the small lanterns on the dry branches in the courtyard corners seem to secretly hold the warmth of the ancient town. Staying here, time moves slowly: In the afternoon, move a bamboo chair to the waterside pavilion, where tea smoke wraps around the winter sun, watching fallen leaves drift into tiny fragments of gold on the water’s surface; At dusk, wander into the alleys of the ancient town, a hundred meters away is the red wall of Jiangxiao Ancestral Hall, stepping on bluestone slabs to visit Wusheng Temple, the wind by the old wall carries the aroma of "Xiaoquan Juice Beef"; At night, return to the courtyard, where lanterns glow a warm red, the tea kettle gently whistles on the charcoal stove, and even the barking dogs outside in the ancient town become a soft background sound. When you come to Xiaoquan, don’t just be a passerby: 📍 Yuhu Garden is right in the heart of the ancient town, a three-minute walk to the carved gate of Xiaoquan Mosque, turn a corner to buy freshly baked "ma bing" (sesame cakes), the fragrance wrapped in oil paper warms you all the way; 🛏️ The guest rooms overlook the courtyard, bedding bathed in winter sunlight, even the porcelain bowls at the washstand are printed with the ancient town’s cloud patterns; 🍵 The courtyard always has tea ready, and if you want it hot, the owner can bring a pot of freshly brewed old white tea from the charcoal stove. “The ancient town is too cold in winter, but the tea at Yuhu Garden can warm you through the whole season.”

People from Guangyuan passing through Deyang came across this Stone Carving Park and saw many ginkgo trees. It was a warm winter afternoon. Entering through the main gate and strolling freely in the park, they encountered many golden ginkgo trees, fallen leaves covering the ground, and people everywhere sunbathing, drinking tea, playing cards, and taking photos. The sense of happiness was full to the brim—just looking at it was already very joyful. There were also some beautiful young ladies, truly full of energy. This place is worth a visit. Please recommend other fun places to me for my next trip.
