Where to go during the leisurely weekend? Encounter the lotus at Wangcong Temple and experience the romantic ancient Shu summer

First of all, transportation is very convenient, just take the subway directly to Wangcong Temple station and you're done. As for the opening hours, it's from 8 am to 6 pm every day, whether you go early or late. Regarding the ticket, huh, let me tell you, it's free! Wangcong Temple, located in Pidu District of Chengdu, is not just any ordinary temple, but the only temple in China that worships two lords, hailed as "the number one temple in Shu". Wangdi and Congdi, these two big shots have made great contributions to the establishment of the 'Land of Abundance', and later generations praise them: 'Chengdu was opened from the heavens, with thousands of streams and veins originating from Wangcong.' Entering the main gate, you will see a big red screen wall with the three characters "Wangcong Temple" written on it. On the left is the Azalea Garden, and on the right is the Ripple Garden, which is extremely popular in summer, with lotus flowers spreading across, and a gentle breeze making the lotus sway as if dancing for the visitors! By the lake, there are also people drinking tea, chatting, taking photos, with endless streams of people dressed in Hanfu, cheongsams, ethnic costumes, and more, taking pictures. The number of tourists on holidays is even more than the lotuses! Further ahead is the mausoleum of Wangdi, which is much higher than the mausoleum of Congdi. Next to it is the Wangcong Museum, which houses stone cows, stone horses, stone storyteller figurines, and other cultural relics. Although not many, taking a close look and feeling the ancient Shu culture is also excellent. Further on, there is another lake connected to the lake in Ripple Garden, but there are much fewer people here, and there are many willow trees by the lake. This scene really reminds one of the 'Lotus in the Breeze at Crooked Courtyard' of West Lake! If you're tired, rest in the pavilion by the lake, enjoy the beautiful scenery in front of you, such moments are truly effective vacations! So, how about it, did my introduction move you? Then act quickly!
