Climb the Cha Mountain, explore the mystery, and seek the myth~
1, Cha Mountain Zen Temple, no tickets.
Directly navigate to "Cha Mountain Zen Temple", do not doubt the road you are taking (there is a smiley face here), follow the uphill path along the river in the village to the parking lot (the ground is muddy, there is a dry toilet in the corner), then climb 917 steps, and walk a short distance to get there. There is a vegetable garden planted by the master of the temple next to the path, and hot water is provided at the entrance of the Zen temple.
The courtyard at the entrance is the Bodhisattva of the Earth Store, the second floor on the steps is Sakyamuni, and behind are the Bodhisattva of the Earth Store, Manjusri, Samantabhadra and Guanyin Bodhisattva (if I remember correctly).
The Zen temple is still under construction, not large in scale, with good scenery and fragrant osmanthus.
There were volunteers when I went there in November, very enthusiastic.
Note: The steps are quite steep, be sure to pay attention to safety, it is not recommended for children who are too young, climbing the steps is very tiring, we walked and stopped, it took almost an hour, the master said that those with quick legs can get there in 25 minutes. Pay attention to sun protection, the air is good and the ultraviolet rays are strong.
2, Cha Mountain Scenic Area, tickets required.
The first time I went there, I navigated to "Cha Mountain Scenic Area", and finally turned around in a village, arrived at the foot of the mountain without a main road up the mountain, and there were people watching and not letting go, so I asked again, and finally found the entrance~ I suggest everyone navigate to "Yuan Kuang Village", go to the parking lot intersection, you can see the charging place, go to the scenic area from here, go to the Zen temple and continue to go down. (See the charging place in the picture)
The azaleas were beautiful when I went there on May 1st~
We went there at about ten in the morning, and then left at more than three in the afternoon. Compared with the Zen temple, the journey is a bit longer but there are more points of interest here.
It started to rain when I went down the mountain. (See the dark clouds in the picture)
Note: Climbing to the top of the mountain is very tiring, bring some food and water, wear a pair of comfortable shoes, there is well water at the Taoist temple, but it is very cool. Some places are also steep, pay attention to safety.
3, Dragon King Temple (seems not open to the public)
When you go to the Zen temple to climb the steps, you can see the yellow building of the Dragon King Temple. When you go down the mountain, you can see a lot of "dragon" characters written on the wall of a courtyard along the seaside road. That is the Dragon King Temple. The dock is below the temple.
The Dragon King and the Sea Goddess are high above, quietly overlooking the sea, it is the spiritual sustenance of the fishermen who rely on the sea for their livelihood~
Looking far away from the top, the eyes are the worldly fireworks of Yuan Kuang Village, the continuous mountains of Jiuding, the blue waves of the sea and the sky, the sunset glow gently touching a piece of mountains and rivers, the endless sea feelings of the four seasons' tides rising and falling...
