Jiuhua Mountain Quality Homestay

🛌 A Zen-inspired Retreat in Poetic Scenery Staying at Xinzhu Shiercheng Homestay near the thousand-year-old Roushen Baodian Temple was a transcendent experience. Waking up to wooden-framed floor-to-ceiling windows revealing a courtyard where potted podocarpus trees naturally framed distant pagodas felt like stepping into a painting. The highlight? Sipping Jiuhua Buddhist tea at dawn—its amber hue glowing in sunlight evoked Du Fu's verse: "Fragrant mist dampens cloud-like hair, clear radiance chills jade-white arms." 🏯 Cultural Must-Sees **Roushen Baodian (Flesh Body Hall)** This vermilion Tang Dynasty temple enshrines the incorruptible body of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Don't miss Li Hongzhang's inscribed plaque "First Mountain of Southeast" or the triple-courtyard design symbolizing the Three Ages of Buddha. The pilgrimage during Ksitigarbha's birthday (30th day of lunar July) sees thousands ascending its 108 steps—a breathtaking spectacle. 🌄 As evening drums echoed beyond whitewashed walls, lanterns gradually illuminated the terrace. Brewing Huangjing tea while reading *Jiuhua Tales*, I finally understood the ancient saying: "Green mountains stand eternal while fleeting clouds come and go." In this town bathed in divine light, even time flows with compassion.
