I want to come to Mount Lushan to look up.

There is a Lushan Mountain in Pingdingshan City, Henan Province. It was originally called Shiren Mountain because it was renamed after not listening. Lushan also has a rare and beautiful scenery, this mountaineering scenery is also a panoramic view. It has both the dangers of Huashan, the beauty of Emei, the beauty of Zhangjiajie and the show of Huangshan. It is a scenic spot for local must-have cards. In addition, the transportation equipment on Lushan Mountain is second to none in China. It not only has the longest imported cableway, but also has rich traffic experience such as slides and small trains. It is also an example for many domestic attractions.

The most famous of Lushan is the high-altitude cable car with a large span. It is said that all the cable cars are imported from Austria, and the difference is as big as flying in the sky. It is super fun! Come to Lushan and try it once!

Henan Zhongyuan Big Buddha | The world's tallest Buddha, held in my palm

The total height of the Big Buddha is 208 meters, almost 70 stories high. It is higher than the mountains, and can be seen from 10 miles away. It is the tallest Buddha statue with a Guinness World Record. Hundreds of high monks from home and abroad came to consecrate it collectively. Probably because of reasons such as no excessive development and publicity, many people do not know about the Zhongyuan Big Buddha. I record it lightly, and send auspiciousness and blessings to the destined people who swipe to it. Tour route: Buddha Spring Temple Gate▶️Heavenly King Hall⏩Great Hero Treasure Hall⏩Big Buddha. The temple provides a free incense for each person, and the incense should be devout. The tour took about more than 2 hours, there are many steps, if your legs and feet are not good, it is recommended to prepare a cane or a hiking stick to relieve pressure. Small tips The scenic parking lot is very large, parking fee is 10 yuan / time At present, the area near the Big Buddha is not open, and it is impossible to get close to the Big Buddha. The scenic area is free of admission, including Buddha Spring Temple. There are really few places to eat nearby. P is the must-pass route to the Big Buddha. There are some small stalls, all of which are cold skin fried noodles and the like. Out of the scenic parking lot, there are several storefronts to eat, and there is nothing delicious in Zhaozhuang Town further ahead. The entrance is very soliciting for photos, mainly for tourists who touch the Buddha's hand, 10 yuan / piece. If you take it yourself, the entrance is a long road, the temple, and the overlooking scenery are all beautiful. As long as you can see the Big Buddha, it looks good from any angle! !!
