There are many Jiang-Song villas, but only one faces the Great Buddha

❤Recommended reasons: ▶️In the Xiangshan Temple of the Longmen Grottoes Scenic Area, there is a small blue brick building with a combination of Chinese and Western styles. Above the main entrance of the building hangs a plaque with the words "Jiang-Song Villa" written by Chiang Kai-shek's grandson, Chiang Hsiao-yen, honorary vice chairman of the Kuomintang. Through this small building, we open a dusty history. ▶️In 1936, when the mountains and rivers were withering, 50-year-old Chiang Kai-shek came to Luoyang, Henan, in the name of "avoiding birthdays." Zhu Shaozhou, then commander of the Luoyang Garrison, carefully planned a birthday celebration, using 50 military aircraft to form the word "Zhongzheng" in the air (Figure 6), and specially built an elegant and simple villa in the picturesque Xiangshan, facing the Xishan Grottoes, with a panoramic view of the Longmen scenery. ▶️Chiang Kai-shek and his wife lived here for 36 days. When Chiang Kai-shek celebrated his 50th birthday, he delivered a speech emphasizing "stabilizing the interior before the exterior," and then deployed the "Northwest Suppression of the Communists" plan. On December 4 of that year, Chiang Kai-shek left the villa for Xi'an, Shaanxi. Eight days later, the "Xi'an Incident" broke out... Looking back on the century-old stormy road, we are determined to revive China. 👍Most recommended: Climb to the second floor of the villa, look into the distance, the weeping willows sway by the Yishui River, the Buddhas bow their heads in front of Xiangshan, and the beautiful scenery is integrated into the courtyard, making the mountains and rivers seem within reach. The beauty of the architecture is nothing more than this. 📍Detailed address: Longmen Grottoes Scenic Area, Luoyang 🕙Business hours: 08:00-18:00 (17:00 stop admission) ⏳Play time: 2-3 hours
