Anonymous userOverall, the ticket prices weren't cheap. Aside from the Celestial Master's Mansion and the Peach Blossom Island performance which have some historical significance, most of the other shows felt like a patchwork, especially the mosquito-free village segment, which was really mediocre.

洋洋的种草日记@### Longhushan Tianshifu Review: The Millennium Inheritance and Modern Tourism Experience of Taoist Ancestors Longhushan Tianshifu, located in Shangqing Town, Yingtan City, Jiangxi Province, is the ancestral court of Taoism. Since the founding of Taoism in Zhang Daoling, the East Han Dynasty, it has been passed on for more than 60 generations, known as "North Kong and South Zhang". It is famous with Qufu Confucius Mansion. As an important symbol of Chinese Taoist culture, Tianshi Mansion not only carries a deep religious history, but also a must-visit place for tourists to explore the essence of Taoism. However, its tourism experience has been mixed due to commercialization and management problems. #### **History and cultural value** The Tianshi Mansion was built in the Ming Dynasty, and the existing buildings are mostly rebuilt in the Qing Dynasty. The scale is large and the layout is rigorous, which integrates the concept of Wangfu style architecture and Taoism and Zhengyi "Heaven and Man". The main buildings in the government include the gate, the lobby, the back hall, the private school, the teaching hospital, etc., of which the teaching hospital is an important place for Taoism, where tourists can observe the opening of the god of wealth and other ceremonies. The palace also retains precious cultural relics such as the Yuan Dynasty Tongzhong and Lingquanjing. Lingquanjing is rumored to be drilled by the Southern Song Dynasty Daoshi Baiyu Temple. The well water is Ganzi, which was used for the refinement of Dan. Tianshifu is not only a religious holy place, but also a living museum of Taoist culture. The Tianshi teachers of all generations have played and authorized here, which has a profound impact. Lu Xun once said: "China's roots are all in Taoism", and Tianshifu is the core carrier of this culture. ####**Tourism experience highlights** 1.**Daoist rituals and folk activities**: the prayer and blessings are held from time to time in Tianshifu, and tourists can participate in it and feel the solemn atmosphere of Taoist rituals. In addition, the folk performances in the ancient town of Shangqing (such as the real drama "Finding Dreams Dragon and Tiger Mountain") also incorporate Taoist mythology, and the lighting effect is shocking and worth seeing. 2. **Natural and humanistic integration**: Tianshi Mansion is surrounded by mountains and rivers, ancient trees are towering, and the environment is quiet. You can experience the fairy home artistic conception of "Yuyi often with smoke and glow" when walking. 3. **The mystery of hanging coffin and the coffin-lifting performance**: Although the hanging coffin performance is not in the Tianshi Mansion, as an important supporting attraction in Longhu Mountain, its thrilling coffin-lifting ceremony (4 sessions per day) shows the funeral wisdom of the ancient Yue people, becoming a must-see project for tourists. ####**Dispute and Inadequacies** 1. **Commercialization and "gongde" chaos**: Some tourists reported that there are problems such as Daoshi's induction of donations and fortune-telling charges in Tianshi's government. If someone is forced to accept 200-300 yuan "counting a fee", affecting the tour experience. 2. **Management omission**: The traffic scheduling of the scenic spot is chaotic, some tourists complain that the waiting time for the sightseeing bus is too long, and the staff is perfunctory. 3. **Construction restoration dispute**: Most of the buildings in Tianshifu are modern restoration, although they try their best to restore the historical style, but they are still criticized by some tourists for "lack of ancient meaning", especially the attractions such as Zhengyiguan are considered "newly built without characteristics". ####**Tour advice** -**Best time**: avoid winter (the scenery is monotonous) and peak tourist season, choose spring and autumn tours to avoid the flow of people. -**Itinerary**: It is recommended to visit Tianshifu and Longhushan main scenic spot (
