Located on the top of a mountain, the temple is not very large, with only two main buildings. There are many monks and tourists. It is not recommended to drive here yourself, as the mountain road is narrow and winding, and it is very difficult to pass other cars. Sometimes you have to reverse for a long time to pass. There are special minibus shuttles in the area, which cost about 41 yuan per person. It is a bit of an exaggeration to call this place the Little Potala Palace. In fact, for non-believers, there is not much difference between the large temples in Tibetan areas. Just enjoy the pious atmosphere.

[Rainbow] Jinsuo Island: The holy land of the Bai ethnic group, and a former summer resort for the Nanzhao royal family. It is named after its shuttle-like shape. There are fewer tourists here, and the commercial atmosphere is not as strong as other attractions in Dali, but it still retains the original style of a thousand-year-old fishing village. If you want to get away from the crowds and hustle and bustle of Dali's popular tourist attractions, you might as well come to Jinsuo Island to enjoy the rare peace and tranquility. [Canoe] The only means of transportation in and out of Jinsuo Island is the small ferry. Supplies on the island are also transported by the small ferry every day. It travels back and forth to the island from 6:30 in the morning to 23:00 at night. The journey takes about 5 minutes. The round-trip ticket price is RMB 20 per person. If you plan to stay overnight on the island, you can enjoy a discount on the ferry ticket, which is only RMB 10 per person round trip. [SunGlasses] Stepping onto Jinsuo Island, you can see the Erhai Lake and Cangshan Mountain in the distance. Seabirds are playing on the silvery sea surface, and time seems to stand still. You don’t need to make a special travel plan for Jinsuo Island. You can stroll around at your own comfortable pace and enjoy the leisure of the holiday. You can also find a cafe to sit quietly and relax while looking at the sea view. The residents on the island are very simple and honest, and the whole island is filled with a peaceful atmosphere. [Scenic] Attractions: [×] Dragon Palace: a natural underground cave with Bai ethnic group song and dance performances. But I personally think it is average and not highly recommended. [Lightning] Guanyin Temple: The Guanyin Temple has a magnificent roof design with carved beams and painted buildings. There is also a Bodhi tree in the temple, which has a history of more than 300 years. When visiting the Guanyin Temple, you can walk around the temple clockwise to pray for good luck. [Cutlery] Recommend "No. 1 Courtyard", Bai ethnic specialty dishes, stir-fried water lily, hot and sour fish, stir-fried potato shreds and chili fried bacon are all super delicious! In the alleys, you can also taste fried potato cakes, fried shrimps, fried fish and other delicacies sold by local residents. [Taxi] You can take a taxi from Dali High-speed Railway Station or the airport to Jinsuo Island Tacun Ferry, and then take a boat to the island.

| First Stop: Guanyin Temple.🎈Dear friends, I have finally embarked on the long-awaited journey on the Sichuan-Tibet Line! ✈️Flew from Nanjing to Chengdu, and contacted an excellent local guide in advance who covered accommodation and car expenses, with other expenses being self-paid. It feels very cost-effective. 🚗In the morning, the guide drove a Beijing car to pick us up. The scenery along the way was breathtaking. After more than half a day's drive, we arrived at our first destination in the evening—Guanyin Bridge. The altitude here is relatively low, so there's no need to worry about altitude sickness. 🙏Guanyin Temple is a temple in Guanyin Bridge Town, which requires a climb up the mountain. Although the temple is not large in scale, when you reach the highest point and see the vast area covered with prayer flags, it is truly stunning!!! The wind blowing the prayer flags feels like a mysterious and peaceful force. 🏠Stayed at a local inn that night. Unfortunately, it started to drizzle, and it was really cold!! However, this added a unique touch to the trip. 💕The first stop on the Sichuan-Tibet Line has left such a deep impression on me, and I am really looking forward to the rest of the journey! Dear friends, stay tuned and let's experience the charm of the Sichuan-Tibet Line together!

Everyone calls it the Little Potala Palace of Western Sichuan, but I don't think so. What really attracted me here is the entire mountain behind the Guanyin Temple covered with prayer flags and Lungta. We, the insignificant, stand on the small path between the mountains, facing this mountain, overwhelmed into speechlessness. . ❤️ Warm Tips: 1⃣️ The location of these prayer flags is to the left rear of the main temple building, be sure to follow the road to the very end, otherwise it's easy to miss on your first visit. 2⃣️ I don't recommend making a special trip just for this, we were on our way to the Seda Buddhist Academy and stopped by Guanyin Bridge Town for a rest, and visited along the way. 3⃣️ It was raining when we went, and the road from Guanyin Bridge Town to Guanyin Temple is all mountainous and narrow, so be careful to drive slowly and watch for oncoming traffic. 4⃣️ For those with drones, I suggest bringing them, as the aerial view of the prayer flags on the back mountain is spectacular, and very photogenic. I couldn't fly mine because of the rain, which was a bit of a pity. . 📸️ About Shooting 1⃣️ Shooting equipment: Sony A7M4 + Tamron 28-200mm, iPhone 13 2⃣️ Shooting time: Around 17:00 in the afternoon 3⃣️ Shooting difficulty: ★★ 4⃣️ Post-editing: Adobe Photoshop 2024 . ⏰ Business Hours: 09:00-12:00, 14:30-17:30 . 💰 Average Cost: Free admission . 📍 Detailed Address: Guanyin Temple, Guanyin Bridge Scenic Area, Jinchuan County, Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province . 🚗 Travel Tips: No public transportation, only self-driving, navigate directly to the destination, there is a free parking lot nearby. I am Xiaowu who loves traveling and photography, enjoys recording and sharing life. If you like it, please support me with a follow and a like. Thank you! 🌹🌹🌹

Today, I mainly introduce the Guanyin Bridge Scenic Area. The Guanyin Bridge Scenic Area is located in the hinterland of the northwestern plateau of Sichuan on the southeastern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It is a combination of plateau grassland and highland mountains. It is located in Jinchuan County, Aba Prefecture, Sichuan Province, including Guanyin Bridge Town, Akeli Township, Maori Township, Taiyanghe Township, etc., one town and six townships, with a total area of up to, and an altitude of 2500 to 5300 meters. There is a Guanyin Temple in Guanyin Town. The Guanyin Temple is named after the four-armed Guanyin enshrined in the temple. It has a history of more than 1300 years and now covers an area of nearly 30,000 square meters. The Guanyin Temple also enshrines the Lotus Born Master, Amitayus Buddha, Amitabha Buddha, God of Wealth, Lama Sman Chorten, and the footprints of Xiangba Living Buddha. We have traveled thousands of miles to come here. It happened to be the 19th day of the sixth lunar month when we went. It was the day when Guanyin Bodhisattva became enlightened. It can be seen that we are all sincere people! It is said that Princess Miaoshan became enlightened and proved the fruit on the 19th day of the sixth lunar month, and now shows the appearance of the Thousand-Handed Thousand-Eyed Guanyin Bodhisattva. Therefore, later generations set this day as the day when Guanyin Bodhisattva became enlightened. The common people believe that chanting Buddha, chanting sutras, chanting mantras, and releasing life on the day when Guanyin Bodhisattva became enlightened are particularly auspicious and have great merit.

There is a kind of red called Seda red The valley is full of red houses A group of devout monks practiced hard here to accumulate merits. They wore red robes and cultivated their Buddhist hearts, while the red walls separated them from the worldly world. Highlights: 1.2.3.

As we enter November, southern Anhui has reached its most beautiful autumn season. Everyone is looking for a suitable place to enjoy the autumn. Compared to the crowded Wuyuan and Hongcun, I prefer this small town in southern Anhui with fewer people and beautiful scenery. ✔ Direct high-speed rail ✔ Enjoy autumn and hot springs 🌈Practical information Location: Yongquan Town, Tongling 🚗Transportation: Self-driving from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai for 1-3 hours, free parking for accommodation after getting off the highway 🚅High-speed rail: 'Tongling North Station' taxi 10min, free pick-up and drop-off for guests staying at the North Station; 'Tongling Station' taxi 30min~ 🌈2-day 1-night tour guide Remember Jiangnan 12 Scenery☞Jiubao Hot Spring☞Jiangnan Snack Street☞Hot Spring Hotel☞Town Walk 1 Remember Jiangnan 12 Scenery Walking up the valley, babbling streams, ancient tree corridors, as if walking into a paradise. There are many Ming and Qing buildings along the way, Jinggong Book Hall, Ye Zhenren Enlightenment Cave, Qixingzhai, etc., not Jiangnan is better than Jiangnan. Especially after entering autumn, wujiu, maple fragrance, maple leaves have begun to change color, really more beautiful than the oil painting world, very good for taking pictures. Finally, you can see the bunker and Guanyin Temple, Wangjiang Pavilion, etc. at the top, with beautiful scenery in your eyes, and feel the smallness of all mountains. 2 Jiubao Hot Spring After going down the mountain, it is Jiubao Hot Spring. After 9 years of exploration, the well is 2000 meters deep, rich in minerals, just to relieve the fatigue of climbing, and there are functional hot springs such as Ai Grass Bath. 3 Jiangnan Snack Street Here you really return to ancient times in a second. You need to exchange copper coins at the money house to consume. I really like this immersive experience; the dishes on the snack street are very rich, especially recommend copper pot shabu meat and spicy crab, and many other southern Anhui specialties. 4 Hot Spring Hotel The rooms all have private soup pools, and you can enjoy it in the room. And provide three meals a day buffet with hundreds of dishes to choose from; for more people, there are villas and homestays to choose from, the scenery outside the window is really beautiful like a landscape painting. 5 Town Walk There are pavilions and Jiangnan buildings everywhere in the town, as well as children's playgrounds and water parks, rich play facilities, suitable for friends of all ages~ If you are tired of crowded scenic spots, then Yongquan Town will be a good choice, eating, drinking and playing, enjoying autumn and hot spring one-stop holiday experience, find a weekend to relax
