#Zhongshan Itinerary Walking into Xishan Temple is like stepping into a paradise. The quaint temple is surrounded by green mountains, and its red walls and yellow tiles appear particularly quiet in the morning light. Walking along the bluestone path, I could hear gusts of fresh breeze, which seemed to carry the chanting of Buddhist music. In the temple, the smoke of incense is curling and believers are praying devoutly, with expectations and hopes for life in their hearts. I also calmed down, lit a stick of incense in front of the main hall, made a silent wish, and felt the peace and tranquility of my soul. Climb to the top of the mountain and overlook the entire temple. The green mountains and green valleys are intertwined, and it seems that all worries are blown away by the wind. In this quiet space, time seems to stand still, with only the sound of wind and birdsong as companions. When the sun sets, the orange-red light shines on the roof of the temple, making people feel a sacred beauty. Xishan Temple is not only a place of faith, but also a spiritual habitat, allowing me to find a little comfort in my busy life.

#中山之旅 I decided to go to Zhongshan from Shenzhen on a whim on the weekend ⛪️ My friend drove us and we set off at around 10 am. It took us about an hour to get there via the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Channel. The scenery of the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Channel is super beautiful! The weather was great that day and the scenery was amazing! 🕛It was noon when we arrived, so we went to "Ma Xi Ge" and tasted their famous black and gold pigeon (Can you believe that people from Guangming actually came to Zhongshan to eat pigeon? 🐦 The meat is super tender and smooth.

At fixed times, a tour guide will lead a group of people to explain (don’t miss it). There are plants at the entrance and inside the museum, and the photos are super photogenic 📷 ☕️After leaving the museum, there is a coffee street. There are many people sitting on the roadside with coffee in their hands. It feels like I am in Shanghai, haha. The Sixi coffee here is said to be good. It was afternoon, so I didn't drink coffee. Instead, I ordered a cup of fruit tea, which tasted okay. ☀️I wandered the streets in the afternoon and went to Sun Wen West Road Pedestrian Street💁 If the sun was shining brightly on the road☀️, it would be great for taking pictures. 🏤We also went to Xishan Temple. At first, those of us who were uneducated thought it was "Shanxi" and even joked that we had come to the hometown of our fellow travelers. You can pray for your career, health and studies in the temple, so it is worth a visit. 🌉Qijiang Bridge is very short. Standing on the bridge, there is a huge Ferris wheel behind you. 🎡 When it was almost sunset, the scenery was beautiful and there were many people taking photos and checking in on the roadside. 🍛In the evening we had dinner at "Fengyu Bay Crispy Anhui Fish", which is an old restaurant and is also on the must-eat list.

||In the past decade, Zhongshan has been one of the cities in Guangdong that I visit most frequently. It has typical Lingnan culture, diverse cuisine, and a leisurely pace of life, which makes me feel that it is really livable. Most of the time, it is not crowded here, but with the recent opening of the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Bridge, it seems that the city has finally ushered in its "highlight moment." In addition to the newly opened shopping malls and increasingly mature attractions, the familiar but quiet shops in the past have suddenly become popular. With the arrival of autumn, I came to Zhongshan again and walked along the walking route I have always liked. I felt both familiar and surprised. 🚶Walking route: Minsheng Road - Sunwen Middle Road - Taiping Road - Hubin Road ① Sun Yat-sen Memorial Park (not big, under maintenance) ② Zhongshan Museum (P6, recommended, newly built but crowded) ③ Xishan Temple (P3, recommended, with a century-old camphor tree and an old library) ④ Yixian Lake (P5, 12, recommended, relaxing and comfortable in the sun) 😋Some food ① Suxi Coffee (P7, good coffee and cultural and creative products, not many people before🤣) ② Aiqun Restaurant (P8, traditional tea house atmosphere, but the location is slightly off and there are many people) ③ Huashenghang (P9, authentic tortoise jelly) ④ Shunyouji (P10, simple Cantonese fast food, porridge, rice, and noodles are all available) - With the development of transportation, people began to pour in, breaking the tranquility of many years. But it is worth seeing this treasure city get more attention and experience! The city is still adapting, so be more inclusive and enjoy it! - 💡: There are many people on holidays, especially in the old streets, so it is recommended to walk 📷: iPhone, Ricoh GR3 .

Located in the central area of Zhongshan City, Xishan, it was originally built during the Ming Dynasty. Initially, it served as a reading place for the Ming Dynasty local scholar Mao Kezhen, and was later converted into a temple. It has undergone multiple expansions and renovations during the Qing Dynasty's Shunzhi, Kangxi, Qianlong, Jiaqing, Xianfeng periods, as well as in the 10th year of the Republic of China (1921) and in 1988.
