Have you ever seen a bodhisattva statue with a carved cicada on its head? This is a stone bodhisattva statue with a cicada crown from the Eastern Wei dynasty, excavated from the Longhua Temple site in Boxing, Shandong. The bodhisattva’s crown features a carved cicada in the center, based on an ancient Han dynasty belief. The ancients thought cicadas could shed their shells and be reborn, symbolizing the soul’s transformation and transcendence beyond life and death. This Buddhist statue, influenced by foreign Buddhism, incorporates native Chinese culture, making it an excellent example of Buddhism’s sinicization. The soft, open facial features unique to the Eastern Wei dynasty show slightly closed eyes and a faint, reserved smile. After thousands of years, the stone statue has some damage to the nose, crown edges, and arms, but traces of the original paint remain on the halo behind it. The artifact was once lost to the Meishu Museum in Japan. After years of negotiation, it was returned to its homeland in 2007 and is now permanently housed in Shandong Museum. More than 1,500 years have passed, yet the gentle and calm expression remains unchanged. 📍 Shandong Museum

Over the weekend, I took my child and Nian Gao to Binzhou Boxing, a place famously known as the "Hometown of Dong Yong." It was a delightful surprise! 🌟 Not only is the cultural atmosphere rich, but the surrounding attractions are also captivating. This time, I especially recommend the hotel we stayed at—the Hilton Garden Inn Binzhou Boxing. It’s fully equipped and perfect for family travel! 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 🏡 Cozy, home-like family rooms 🏠 As soon as we entered, we were drawn to the warm room decor. The little tent and toys designed for kids were a big hit, and Nian Gao loved chasing and playing on the carpet. The room was spacious and bright, with beautiful city views right outside the window. Waking up every morning, we felt full of energy and happiness. 🌞 🍽️ Delicious and abundant buffet 🍲 The hotel’s buffet restaurant is truly a treasure. The breakfast offers a wide variety, from Chinese pastries to Western breads, all exquisitely made and tasty. Lunch and dinner were even more surprising, featuring authentic Shandong cuisine and exquisite Wagyu hot pot—each bite was a feast for the taste buds. The kids and Nian Gao ate heartily, and I was happy along with them. 😋 🏊‍♀️ Comfortable and relaxing leisure spaces 🌿 The hotel’s gym and laundry area are thoughtfully designed, so even on long trips, you can maintain your daily routine. The 24-hour convenience store and self-service drink bar are perfect spots for a quiet break late at night. Imagine coming back from a walk with Nian Gao in the evening and enjoying a cup of hot coffee here—it’s so cozy. ☕ 🎈 The perfect place for family gatherings 🎉 The hotel’s banquet hall and service team make any family gathering or business event easy and enjoyable. Whether it’s a child’s birthday party or a family celebration, they provide professional service and a warm atmosphere. Watching the kids and Nian Gao play with other children and pets brought unforgettable joy and warmth. 🌈 This trip not only let us experience the cultural charm of Boxing but also gave us a warm and pleasant stay at the Hilton Garden Inn Binzhou Boxing.

For the second time, my friends and I ventured on a Cambodia Off Road experience. This occasion was a 6-day Enduro trip. Visal constructed a route to cater specifically to our beginner-level abilities. He encouraged us to challenge ourselves whenever possible to enhance our off-road riding skills. The accommodations he arranged for each night were wonderfully serene. Visal's mechanic, whom we nicknamed T A, demonstrated impressive riding expertise and extensive bike knowledge. Overall, the journey was immensely thrilling and memorable for us all.

Wow.. what an adventure. Amazing off-road riding with river crossings, mud, and dirt trails. Cambodia is a secure and welcoming nation, and I plan to visit again. Visal and Malik made my 5-day temple tour the most remarkable yet. Visal also answered my email inquiries promptly (I had numerous) and proved to be a sincere and knowledgeable individual. The motorcycle was excellent and well-maintained. Many thanks to both for such a fantastic experience.

The hotel is located in Boxing County and is owned by the neighboring building's Jingbo Holdings Group, a major Chinese 500 company – a significant player in this area. The lobby isn't particularly spacious, but it's bright, not at all cramped, and has a very homey feel. The front desk service is, and I apologize if this sounds like an exaggeration, exceptionally high, even considering my nearly 10 years of travel to and from China. The room is well-equipped, with a coffee maker and microwave in addition to the usual amenities. The cleanliness is a positive point. The toilet and bathroom are also convenient, and the vanity is quite large. The downsides are the lack of nearby shops; there's a shopping mall about a 15-minute walk away, but it's so cold in Shandong at the end of November that I wasn't confident I could endure that long. There are also almost no restaurants nearby, only two high-end restaurants catering to business entertaining. There's a convenience store behind the building, but it was closed when I went at 10 PM. I was worried about dinner because I finished work late, but the front desk managed to get the hotel restaurant to accept my ramen order, even though it was past their regular closing time. I was very satisfied with the service, but I found it somewhat inconvenient for a long-term stay.

Really this best hotel in boxing China hope visit again this city and this hotel it was so nice trip Here in this city you can buy many thinks and have many market for shopping sure I will come back again to this city Also price in this city too much cheap This hotel it’s 5 stars really so so nice Maybe I will come again in 2-3 month later I find many friend there good tooooooooooo much
